00:00:00
You should probably just date till you
00:00:01
drop dead because it's stupid.
00:00:03
I've heard you say before that the most
00:00:04
important financial decision you'll ever
00:00:06
make is who you'll marry.
00:00:08
Yes.
00:00:09
Why?
00:00:10
Because think of the geometric loss of
00:00:12
wealth. Every time you get divorced,
00:00:16
you pay the woman that you divorced or
00:00:19
man and you pay the government
00:00:23
a third often through capital gains and
00:00:25
liquidation because you can't separate
00:00:28
all the assets without liquidating them
00:00:30
sometimes. So you've got the government
00:00:32
sitting there, you've got the other
00:00:34
spouse sitting there. This is the
00:00:36
stupidest thing you can ever do. It took
00:00:38
your whole life to to actually create
00:00:42
this nest egg. Could be, you know,
00:00:44
you're 45 or whatever. You you've got a
00:00:46
comfortable life and all of a sudden you
00:00:47
don't like your wife or husband. Think
00:00:49
about that for a while because you are
00:00:52
going to wipe out up to twothirds of
00:00:54
your wealth. You better really like
00:00:57
somebody else a lot. And frankly,
00:01:01
sometimes it's not the other person that
00:01:04
you're divorcing. It's you. You're the
00:01:07
problem. If you're getting married for
00:01:09
the third time, you're a guy or a woman.
00:01:11
It's not them, it's you. There's
00:01:13
something wrong with you, and you should
00:01:15
probably not get into another economic
00:01:17
union. You should probably just date
00:01:19
till you drop dead because it's stupid.
