Not sure about the young and naive Sim, but the rest was true! Your strategy of never buying anything is the perfect defence of course - so I suspect you too are also placing little faith in the 'finding the perfect spouse' idea!
Simple facts. Two out of three marriages fail.
No one goes into a marriage expecting it to fail.
That means 66% of the population are wrong about the perfect partner.
I am not naive enough to assume I will be in that 'lucky' 33%.
I was talking about this with a friend last night. A marriage lasts, on average, 7-8 years apparantly. The average male in Australia lives to 73 (I think - may have changed) so an obvious time to look at marriage therefore is say 65. This would allow the female to live happily on (in this case) his assets for the remainder of her life.
