was saying, the couple had been married for about 25 years. And taka good guess what broke the covenant! Yep, pee-wee was caught with a piece of take-out chicken. So, here wifey - if she wants to keep the house, will have to get a mortgage for half its value.
Ee-yep, wifey wasn't the one who stepped out, and she's being punished - at early 50-something - with a what? Like a fifteen (count 'em) year mortgage - cha-ching! That's what. Why, she'll be about in her early 60s before the thing's paid off - hopefully, she has a good job, and can get that out of her hair, alot sooner.
It's a really good idea to have atleast some savings for later life. In fifteen years, social security pensions may be getting cut by about 15 or 20% - their information tells ya, the laws can change (for the worse) from budget to budget.
Sad to say, but it's a really, really good idea for women to have marketable skills - to atleast have documented experience with excel and word - better yet: a college degree - because you never know, things change, people change.
Sounds feministic? Maybe! But here's the reality: as annoying as feminists can be, feminists are well aware of how things can, and do, go in the world-as-is - as opposed to the world as-wished-for.
Hmm the fundamentalist Quiverfuls like the Duggars want their daughters left uneducated and permanently unemployed. What do you think will happen if one is widowed or divorced--the man could leave them and go cheat. No job. Parents don't live forever. The fundamentalist Christian answers for women to never work, are absurd and are a surest way to the poor house. Look at me and my husband and how poor we were with educations. You think a Duggar illiterate is even going to pull off online transcription? Nope. No SSDI either for a woman whose never worked, SSI is far less money.
ReplyDeleteDear Peeps, the churchian cults have reality issues. It's like they also forget that "fruitful" comes before "multiply." Now granted, i could be wrong (oh, imagine that ;/) but "fruitful" seems to cover alot of territory, besides just making babies. Pee-wees who stuff their wives and their multiple children into a tiny dented trailers, don't strike me as Fruitful
