Marriage v. Cohabitation: Financial Perspective
« on: February 26, 2007, 12:16:21 PM » |
|
I was involved in a discussion on a legal board, wherein one corporate counsel was saying that his girlfriend was moving in and asking for advice. Lots of witty blah-blah-blah, and someone mentioned "return on investment" of cohabitating v. being married. I did a little searching and found THIS ARTICLE. |

Marriage works for some, and not for others!!!!!!
Russell, was the one pushing me to set a date, I was quite happy to live together forever.
Now, I am happy that we are married, and not living together.
I was wondering, how many times, people of the board have been married.
It sounds like most of you are on marriage number one, or are you?

Clearly the 100k figure was arrived at by a bunch of nerdy, unmarried, economists who each spend 98k a year on hookers.
