      @improviso and the reason divorce is so expensive?

      It’s worth it

      Amen! 😬

      We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
      Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

        Then there was the guy who asked his wife what she wanted for her birthday. She said “I want a divorce”. He said “I wasn’t thinking of spending that much.”

        My wife asked me to take her someplace expensive.

        So I took her to the gas station.

            Been retired for 13+ years. Had a bump in the road in 2012, but shed the 200 pounds of dead weight and been smooth sailing ever since.

            She's still chasing a married man, going on ten years now. Still doesn't get that men who cheat on their wives for 10 years don't marry their mistresses. Damn shame too. They deserve each other.

                In Christmas 2007 we were shopping for towns in Mexico to move to. The plan was very early retirement in Mexico.

                Four months later I got my diagnosis and realized I’d need to be in the states for the rest of my life for medical care.

                Really? Was your son already born at the time? Why Mexico?

                    I always thought she was garbage. If it makes you feel better. Maybe it makes me feel better to say that.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Been fully retired now going on more than a year and a half. As far as I’m concerned retirement is highly underrated.

                      Never bored, too busy.

                        Everyone I spoke to said, "Do it as soon as you can."

                        I probably waited about 6 months too long.

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            He wasn’t born until 2009. Back in 07 we hadn’t even decided to have one yet, and it seemed like we wouldn’t.

                            I like Mexico, lived there 2 years in the 90s.
