Don’t get married. They don’t have the same mindset on money.

[@EdelweisSusie]

It's even more complicated when you're planning to remarry in later life and one partner has NO CHILDREN and the other partner has!

[@huggyuk]

The thumbnail image for this video has a huge typo! “Combing” 😂😂😂

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

Thats what the caller tries to do: comb the money 😅

[@mlovespring7892]

He loves his sister more than her. Time to fly away, lady. You are 52!

[@wethepeople8542]

Fighting about money already lol

[@audradietz]

At 52 you do need a pre-nup. Make it fair, but a partnership agreement and pre-nup is the best route. Get an attorney.

[@timothythompson4036]

If I had to get involved in a second marriage, I would definitely get a prenup.

[@debrawilliams7983]

Why should your fiance leave all his money to his Sister who has a Husband!! You should come first!

[@ThePecanTan]

Exactly!

[@jimroscovius]

That's his sister's problem, not his.

[@jimroscovius]

@@tao-abdn Then he shouldn't have gotten married.

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

Hi

[@jovarodriguez169]

PLEEEZ, PLEEEZ,🙏 Put your EQUITABLE agreement in writing with a lawyer! It's the fair way to spare your loved ones the added grief and feuding that can follow if you don't! And Thank You DR for following Gods Good Book!

[@jimcole6423]

They will feud anyway.

[@ominous450]

Women live longer than men, and husbands are usually older than the wife. What does that mean? He dies 5-10 years before she does. Secondly, that's his sister and his nieces and nephews. Why should he give money to adult step children he met just a couple years ago??

[@Mexicobeanpole]

You weren’t listening. Her plan, since she understands a traditional marriage is that if she dies first her money goes to HIM, with the understanding that he’d leave that money to her kids when he dies. Not too hard to understand.

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

@@Mexicobeanpole If her money goes to him, and then back to her children then what does she gives to him really? If he died first!, more likely them not, for the reason above, she gets all the money. Not an equal partnership as she claims. She is something else. Edit: Also this is not a traditional marriage by any means. It includes other party's children, sister and niece...

[@marinamarina6687]

So... she thinks about him and he thinks about his sister? 😐

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

He does think about her. He thinks she has enough 😂But seriously, men die earlier. She has a point but she doesn't really give him anything if his health weaker. And if it dies or his ancestors doesn't live long, does she really think about him? Two of my sisters pretty much raised me, while our mother was busy working to provide. Half sisters btw Not to imply, this lady seems sincere, but have you ever heard an expression Black Sister? Can sister divorce you? I feel that they should keep thein finances separate and don't involve an investor as a marriage counselor.

[@mlovespring7892]

Yes - and she said " hes a good man". Humm, I would question that!

[@kingtechintelugu8567]

Hi

[@ButcherBird-FW190D]

Each party should get their own attorney. Draw up a reasonable, equitable plan that both parties are generally happy with. Make sure there is no ambiguity.

[@gooney0]

The husband-to-be sounds like a lucky man.

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

I hope you are been sarcastic 🙂.

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

screw it. Don't leave him anything

[@ellsmere58]

Daniel Garcia 😂

[@abark]

Statistically, she won't because more than likely he will die before her. Why do her grown adult children get money because her new husband croaks?

[@lyndalamb3221]

neither should leave the 401K to the spouse

[@richricogranada9647]

I don’t know if I’d dedicate the rest of my life to a man, who probably, would die before me, who would leave it all to his children, or to the freaking sister. I have no headaches, AKA children.

[@JM-yf5rt]

This is great. Good advice for 2nd marriages or even 1st marriages where there are substantial assets involved. Yes. God's money. We are stewards/stewardess. Thanks, Dave.

[@mrsm3442]

To me it sounds like a business relationship, not a love relationship.

[@hirambright9357]

Marriage is a business transaction.

[@alex124241]

There is absolutely no point in getting married. Especially a second time

[@mikebetts2046]

Second marriages are the triumph of hope over experience.

[@alex124241]

Mike Betts They are but so many of them fail. In fact, they have a higher failure rate than 1st marriages at 65 percent.

[@mikebetts2046]

Not disagreeing with your stated facts. Just pointing out that my comment was a joke. People are often hopeful even when past experience says "this is not going to turn out well".

[@Marie-cp4yf]

OUCH! why not? if they can agree about their finances that would be nice.

[@ellencarter8459]

@@alex124241 could be because people tend to rush into second marriages without taking time to evaluate why the first marriage failed. They end up repeating the same mistakes.

[@erodz2943]

my husband has kids, I never did. BUT, want to leave some money to my 3 oldest nephews and nieces. as he wants to leave some money to his 4 kids. and the rest goes to each other.

[@kingtechintelugu8567]

Love is worth more than money. If two people are not in love, Two minds ...

[@dallastaylor5479]

He doesn't want to leave to her because he doesn't want his hard earned cash to go to someone elses kids. No problem with that.

[@LilCraftyNook]

dallastaylor 547 But if she leaves her money to him, and _hoping_that it will go to her kids?? Right. He’ll give it all to his iiresponsible sister.

[@mr.e8432]

Yeah except of course, it’s not going to her kids. But other than that...

[@jimroscovius]

Then don't get married.

[@jimroscovius]

Once he got married, they are his kids too. They are now one.

[@brutustantheiii8477]

@@jimroscovius I mean marriage really IS and SHOULD BE PURELY as CONTRACTUAL a JOINT BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP only in the Personal Realm

I'm sure he's saying "keep your money". If they're cooperating on a joint house, she needs to back off.

[@azucenavarin4504]

They should keep their assets separate and love each other

Put it in a trust: What if She leaves her money to him, and he turns around and leaves ALL the money to his sister! It, he could remarry and that chick gets it all.... Sister and kids up a creek!!!

[@jasonoud6439]

They should reciprocate in kind same amount.

[@seipatimalefane9510]

Hey

[@costakeith9048]

Absolute insanity, a wife is not an heir. By this point in his life, he's entitled to have chosen an heir, he chose his sister, whether she's a good choice or not is irrelevant, it's his choice. She has selected her heirs, namely her children, but she has no right to try to redirect his fortune towards them. This is just a cynical maneuver to try to steal from his heir to get more for her heirs. If I were him, I'd demand a prenup to keep her out of my finances; money aside you have to have some self respect, you can't allow yourself to be manipulated like that.

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

Thanks, there is a few people here with clear mind.

[@patriciaalbertson5183]

Yeah but you could be really really wrong.... And it could be him up to Something

[@AuntBAS]

Combing money 😂😂

[@tomsassurance]

Is he leaving her the House and $50,000. Sounds like he is splitting his assets 50/50. Daves plan is 100% all her children?

[@patriciaalbertson5183]

No... He said, to see a lawyer. And he presented various options about the split...

[@tomsassurance]

Why do all the discussions involve money a guy makes and saves. Sure be fun to hear more stories of women working, saving and giving their assets. @@patriciaalbertson5183

No combining money period...i used to think that its ok but today theee so called good men will run off to some women with your money....let him get married to his sister...and pls dont marry him ..

[@austinrobert8881]

Statistically a 2nd marriage has a higher rate of divorce as compared to a 1st marriage. And whose money is it if your an Atheist and don't believe in God?

[@Eaglejake]

I love when people live their lives, and make real world decisions, by quoting the Jewish Book of Fairy Tales.....aka the Bible. What he wants to do with his money....the money he has spent his lifetime accumulating, sacrificing, and saving.....is his business....his money to decide. He knows his second wife has a rock solid retirement plan, and will have a place to live if she dies before him. She does not NEED the money....his sister NEEDS the money. FFS.
