Participant[quote=Blogstar]The people who are clean and do everything right almost inevitably have as much trouble and often more than anyone else, why is that?[/quote]
BumpParticipant[quote=FlyerInHi]Could be better to forget the whole fairy tale altogether and get married for estate planning like our forefathers did.[/quote]
Cynicism is baggage too, you know?
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]B, The exchange thing , you are playing hard semantics with that to the point it looks defensive.
These hypothetical “clean people” might have an easy time finding other “clean people” but the whole catastrophe is guaranteed either way. There’s a reason some stories are called fairy tales.[/quote]
Just like a lexus pre owned certified car service maybe we can pre certify dates.[/quote]
Well why don’t we just pre-certify ourselves and go on being single just to make sure?ParticipantThe people who are clean and do everything right almost inevitably have as much trouble and often more than anyone else, why is that?

Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]Besides being cheap the contractor bags are reusable…did you know you can use super glue to put a fabric frill on them? Looks Victorian….I hate it when my wife does that.[/quote]
Damn princess. I travelled with some shabby baggage. But seriously 85.00 off ebay. Cole ha an sumptuous leather and canvas perfect carry on limit size just gorgeous. I feel suave with it.[/quote]
Sort of Victorian/Goth hybrid actually, because the bags are so black…the Goth part is so out of character for both of us so I think that’s why we like it.
I am glad you got bags you are happy with.
ParticipantYou have to go based on your own case. My wife and I got 20 years when the first kid was born . We didn’t get that much
250k each, house was already nearly paid off but we didn’t have much other than that. We know family has the money to raise kids too if something happened but what we have should cover it easily and help kids launch too. College is already covered by grandparents unless some disaster strikes. . Still, going to shop around and get a few more years and higher dollar amount like some other posters have done recently. Just like playing the lottery.I think I would go for a longer term from the start, but I am not sure. The real financial planners here can answer that. We only paid $14 and $19 a month all along so that seems like a bargain.

ParticipantI had more baggage than LAX when I was young, or at least I perceived myself that way. I had problems. It wasn’t my fault I was born into the non-family that I was with all the violence drinking bad acts of all kinds and divorce and death. I know I am the only pigg who spent time in a black head of household foster home.But that all that makes a stigma that is hard to break through. I held it against myself and It was held against me.
I had to have more years of reputable adulthood under my belt than other people did to be taken seriously. Lots of women needed life experience to figure out what was important and possibly buck their judgemental parents. It was hard. I am lucky to have survived and have the relationship(s) that I do.
ParticipantWe are terrible people, my wife and I…..just terrible.
ParticipantWe travel with contractor bags, they are light, take almost any shape for storage in airplanes and cars. Cheap….we have a blast together.
ParticipantCan’t wait until one of my kids comes home with some bat shit crazy ragamuffin.
Won’t that be interesting?It will be like pot meeting kettle all over again.
ParticipantAfter learning more about it , I think this case might be resolved with an escrow and some title work and no legal action….Keeping my fingers crossed.
I have to give the attorneys I talked to some credit , not all of them were trying to churn work off of the problem and it was a series of referrals that brought the non court resolution to the forefront as a possibility….that’s potentially legit advice. There are good attorney’s out there.
ParticipantIt horrible how complicated it is to fix these things even when all parties are willing to do it. We really are taken hostage for a good fleecing by lawyers on a lot of things.
