Due to a recent and somewhat unexpected situation, I find myself compelled to pass this advice on to all who may be interested.
It is advice I give you based on personal experience. TAKE IT and live by it so you don't end up where I am today.
First.
Prepare for your future. Save for your retirement. Save it in such a way that NOBODY else can touch it. When you get to my age and you realize the impact this has on the rest of your life ... you will be so glad you took this advice.
Second.
DO NOT ever be "Mr Good Guy" in matters pertaining to an ex or soon to be ex-spouse. PROTECT YOURSELF legally and financially. TAKE CARE of YOUR INTERESTS. Let them worry about theirs.
I say these things to you for your benefit. I wish someone had drilled them into my head when I was younger.
