The new smart financial move is walking away

[dbapig]

[quote=edna_mode]Another interesting twist is the mention that the profiled person has been “socking away money for retirement”. If she was doing it in an ERISA-qualified plan (most pensions and 401(k) are), then that money is largely JUDGEMENT-PROOF. A quick google suggests the only way for another party to take away retirement accounts is for family support (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_compliance_pension.html). The Supreme Court upheld that IRAs are similarly shielded in 2005.(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A24753-2005Apr4.html)

So another reason to top up those retirement accounts every year — not only do you diversify your taxation liability, you protect some of your assets against bankruptcy, lawsuits, etc.[/quote]

Good to know!

but my wife is far more persuasive than me.

she also says things like she means it, while my words drift like helium balloons the little one lost his grip on…

Scaredy –

I gotta ask… On the third kid thing… You do know the concept of birth control, right? And that there are forms of BC for men as well as women. Surgical or condoms… you could have prevented #3 if you didn’t want #3.

Hypothetically, if your wife told you she was practicing birth control, but wasn’t, then you’ve got bigger issues. From what you’ve written, you guys have been married a long time and seem to be on the same page except on house buying… I’d like to think your wife didn’t intentionally trick you.

If you knew the sex wasn’t protected – then yes, YOU made a choice to have a kid… or at least made a choice to open up that possibility.

jeez scaredy do you read what you write? Feel free to mix in a little self esteem dude.

yes winners and losers are very different. Don’t pull a red/black roulette bet on me. Try to distinguish between winners/losers and the outcome of a random event.

Randomness happens in life. Most of the population is borne into a life with less opportunity then others.

Yes there are those who enjoyed the benefits of being borne into a life of leisure. Those people are not winners, they are lucky. Randomness smiled upon them.

However to me a winner does not have to be a rich person. Winners are people who shape their own lives and for better or for worse enjoy them and take responsibility for themselves. There is nobody to blame, no external conditions that put them there. If they had adversity in their lives they adapted and overcame. People shape their own lives or they have them shaped for them to a varying degree by their own external conditions, spouses etc. You make your life, you make your breaks or your screw ups, you pick yourself up and move on. Or you let the wind blow you around.
