#29  Mrs. AA5839 has proven to be a rock for me. I married her 46 years ago for the second time after I found out there was no one better.

#28  Mrs C and I have been married 40 years this summer. What we have done to one another not to mention the sacrament isn't for youthful ears. She earned her Phi Beta Kappa key as a gorgeous undergrad and has left them around the countryside like Johnny Appleseed. Someday she will be allowed to handle money again, most probably after my time.

#27  The author sounds single and is casting blame. Become the man who is attractive to the woman you want to attract.

#25   I've never known men to be good with money and fun at the same time.

Now you’re teasing, because of course you have — they just aren’t flashy about it like the other group. There are lots of ways to have fun that cost little to nothing, and the payoff for general frugality is having the funds for the occasional extravagance. What you're talking about is a status display — and it’s the same behaviour for men and women — that results from deliberately spending beyond actual income.

Mrs. Besoeker could squeeze a nichel until the buffalo *****, and I love her for it.

Mr. Wife would love if I could, and I tried, but my mind simply doesn’t work that way.

#24  Where are all the good men? Answer: We married all the good women some time ago.

NN2N1, I will beat you to 45 years by one month.

#23  What the media has been able to do with women this last 18 months is revealing.

Media is bullshit. Unhappy people spend money on bullshit. People in their 30s, 40s, should start to have disposable money. Childless people have disposable money.

Probably best summed up with Brie Larson's 'Drop the Taco' commercial.

#20   just add 'manages money like a lady'

The key is that at least one of the two can do it, and the other one accepts necessary limitations to keep from sending the family to the poorhouse. I did my best, but eventually had to confront Mr. Wife about the fact that money is simply not what I’m good at. Thereafter — until I got sick — I made sure the bills were paid on time, and didn’t spend more than the overall budget, but he managed the stuff. He also trained the trailing daughters on the subject — td #1 is like me, td#2 at seven or eight showed she is like him, so she long ago promised that after he dies she’ll take over for me.

#19  Most are selfish, don't want to help run the house, want to play and be in their 20s all their lives, and if you don't give them what they want they can clean you out in divorce court.

What sane man would bet at least half of his hard earned stuff on that?

Find a lady that would love to be a supporting wife and mother while being supported by a husband and you are good. Problem is most of those women are in red areas and snapped up pretty darn quick.

#16  Feminists have been celebrating the American Woman as Whore since the nineteen sixties. The result was predictable.

#15  NN2N1, just add 'manages money like a lady' to that and that's me missus. God bless you and your wife. Old school is the best school.

According to my wife:
Try finding a woman that looks like a lady, acts like a lady, dresses like a lady, wear her hair like a lady and that wants to be a graceful wife, and a mother.

Now a days what is the incentive to marry?

They are sexually aggressive as men. No ring needed.
They don't want your last name.
They just basically want a room and board arrangement while they seek their outside careers.


BTW:
Will have been married 45 years this Sept.
Married old school.

#12  I need a new F-150

Ken Block is selling his 1977 Ford F-150 for $1.1 million and it might be worth it

#4  I believe I may have found a contributing factor.

This is a 'gender neutral' interactive version of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. This is a self-test. Use as much time as necessary.
