I personally would never marry someone where there is absolutely no trust.

And I can't think of any couple that I have ever known who went into the marriage not trusting their partner. However, there are several marri Just remember when you die you can't take your money with you.ages that ended because the trust was misplaced.

Just remember when you die you can't take your money with you.

I list cases of fraud, where a man is forced to pay money based on lies, deception and deceit; and your response is 'you can't take it with you'? Aww, heck then, I'm sure you wouldn't mind too much if I took half of what you own today, and a chunk of what you make the rest of your life, plus 25% of what you earn for the next 18 years for my kids (even though you had nothing to do with creating them). After all, you can't take the money with you.

If you are married and have sex and a child is created by you, then you are responsible for the well being of the child whether you like it or planned it or not. If you are smart you will invest in that child your time and love instead of being more concerned with the costs of having a child. The pay off will be better for you if you do. All I can say is plan wisely who you marry. If you fail to do so then by all means don't take it out on your child if you have any.

My father made that mistake of being more in love with his money than his kids. He was a bitter old man when he died. He spent so much time complaining about having to pay child support instead of investing in his children with his time and love that when he was old there was just broken relationships. I do have to say he finally got it about two months before he died. However, he did not get to take his most precious possession with him, it ended going to his kids in the long run.

We would have rather had the relationship instead though.
