Be nice to your spouse

My husband Jerry came home recently with a question: “What’s the worst thing you can do to upset your plans for a financially secure retirement?”

I hesitated. I knew he had been reading about retirement planning, and I knew that I hadn’t been reading about retirement planning. How was I supposed to know the answer?

Jerry grinned. “The worst thing you can do to mess up your financial security for retirement is get a divorce because then you have to divide your retirement savings in two.”

It has become a big joke at our house. We take turns saying: “You better be nice to me, or I’ll mess up your retirement plans.”

But Fayteen and I agree that it’s no joke. Being “nice” to each other goes a long way to creating a happy marriage now and later in retirement, Fayteen stresses. She has counseled hundreds of unhappy couples. Being kind to each other might not have solved all their problems, but it would have helped.

–Joy

    I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet

    I never found any interesting article like

    yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and

    bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    I’m really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A few of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?

  23. bit.ly September 9, 2021 at 10:47 pm #

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.

    However just imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its

    field. Great blog! quest bars http://tinyurl.com/49u8p8w7 quest bars

    Can I simply say what a relief to uncover an individual who genuinely understands what they are discussing over the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people really need to read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
