Member-only story
Her husband left her. She hadn’t worked in 30 years. It was time to retire. This is how she funded her retirement.
This article is based on a true story. The names and places have been changed.
Let’s call her Karen.
Karen was a good woman with a warm heart.
She raised her children to be respectful, law-abiding citizens who contribute to society in a number of different ways.
She admitted, that after each child she was less interested in satisfying her husband in the bedroom.
After each child graduated from college and the house was paid for. (Lovely home, I might add, located in a high-end neighborhood) her husband announced that he was retired and that he wanted a divorce.
Here’s the deal.
The husband was an attorney. He knew exactly what to do, to hide the money years before he walked away from the marriage. (At least, that is what I believe)
At any rate, because of his early retirement and not much money in the bank, his alimony to his wife was little to none. However, she got sole procession of the house, a very nice house.
Karen never wanted to be a bother to her children, and she certainly did not want to rely on them for her well-being.
