Marital Agreements for Those Over 50

January 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment
marriage

By most accounts, approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce. Hammering out the financial issues in advance can prevent much costly legal wrangling later. If you feel it is unromantic to establish end-game parameters ahead of time, guess what- they already exist in the form of divorce law. If you are the prospective spouse with more property, the divorce law in your state may cause you to give up more than you feel is fair. This is of particular concern to high net worth individuals in brief but unsuccessful marriages ie. Paul McCartney and Katy Perry. Even if you are willing to throw caution to the wind for the sake of love, other people such as business partners or adult children may be negatively impacted by the decision. This is especially true in a second marriage situation. … [Continue reading...]

A group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments. "My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one. "Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad; I can't even see my coffee." "I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time, my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third. "What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you!" "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fourth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement. "My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another. "I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said another. "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement. "Well, count your blessings," a woman said … [Continue reading...]

From The  London    Times: A  Well-Planned Retirement Outside  England    's  Bristol    Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses.  For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant.  The fees were for cars, about $1.40, for  buses about $7. Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just  didn't show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.. The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility.  The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.  The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll. Meanwhile,  sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast … [Continue reading...]

Your kids are becoming you... and you don't like them but your grandchildren are perfect! Going out is good. Coming home is better! When people say you look "Great"... they add "for your age!" When you needed the discount you paid full price now you get discounts on everything, movies, hotels, flights, but you are too tired to use them. You forget names ... but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds. You realize you're never going to be really good at anything....especially golf. Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don't remember. The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that … [Continue reading...]
