You leave her WITH CAUSE and you still have to give her $100K a year so you're on equal footing financially. Just something to be mindful of.

Nobody believes that they'll wind up divorced. I know two people who bought houses a NBA basketball player would live in. One is still happily married with his 2nd wife, the other is my cousin. He basically lost everything and had to move into a tiny 650k house (Boston it's not the greatest house considering what he moved out of and what the wife kept). But when someone gets married when they're 18-22 seriously, does it really matter all that much? There has to be some point in your life where you can feel you'll defy the odds and behave as if the world is ideal. What's your ex going to do, take away your 2 y.o. car that you're making lease payments on?
