divorces are not uncommon when portfolios get destroyed unfortunately. Here is a bigger issue you should bear in mind: who will be pointing fingers at the loss of the marital estate in the future proceeding. I can assure you, and I am a trial lawyer who has seen this identical scenario play out many times, your spouse will blame you almost completely, and her lawyer. There have been no exceptions in my experience. There for the good times but not the bad. You do not want to be with this sort of person to begin with. Consider it a blessing. Plan accordingly. If you risk it all, or even what is left, you will pay an even bigger price guaranteed.
Divorce rates will skyrocket with the market deflation which is just kicking in. Ignore all the nonsense from the financial industry which desperately seeks to keep people invested for the long term.
Studies are clear and the industry has these studies but fails to promote them, in fact, they hate them.
The long term is a hustle. Studies show over time portfolios which seek to stay invested in major crashes get destroyed and those going to cover do far better over time..
(the financial industry merely calls them market draw downs, such an antiseptic phrase, or better yet here is their other one, periods of volatility, LOLLOLCNNLOLCNN.
When equities go up, they are advertised as having another big day on wall street; when they get crushed things are just considered volatile.
Do not believe whatsoever this is all gonna blow over soon enough. A huge scam by the mass media and the financial media. Believe them and you will be pulverized, AGAIN...This is the 3rd time in a generation that western middle class will be cleaned out, and this time it will have dire consequences because the owners of stocks are seniors or near seniors and cannot go back to the drawing board and work for more capital.
Mark this post.
Divorces gonna be very very prevalent the next 18 months. A lot of finger pointing, and accusations, and saying, I told him he would lose it all Your Honor! He has a sickness, he blew all our money...
and yet 6 months earlier, why dont we set up together a little stock consulting company, we have done so well in the market.....
