I was in the reverse situation (I’m the woman), and I guess in retrospect, divorce saved me. We were homeowners, and after divorce, we had to sell the house. Bought in 2002 for $285K, sold in 2005 for $525K. I made the mortgage payments, but I had to split the value. He took his $ and bought a condo for $305K (900 square feet). Long story short, I’m holding my cash, renting, and waiting…
But HEY!!! Not all women are gold diggers that are “socialized to find husbands who’ll take care of them.”
I hope this doesn’t come across as a bitter response — it’s not intended that way at all…
