  1. MandelbrotSet, Amen!

    You know what my wifes attitude is? She says get whatever you need ! She actually pushes me to get the best in the biz for trading software, hardware etc...

    But then again, I am quite profitable and she's a sweetie!

  3. Hate to break it to you but in most places co-hab for more than a year and you are married.

    So unless you are a short termer, like swing trader a long term hold could put you in the guillatine.

  6. Couldn't you just get a girlfriend?

    That would take your mind off of what your wife has to say and really give you some motivation to make some coin.

    Of course then you will have a time management problem but its hard to find a plan thats perfect.

    Best of luck to you

  8. no common law marriage in Wisconsin. I think the time is a lot longer than 1 year in most places. Thinking 7 is a magic number of years for states that have it.

    Sorry Cash, Yes the government CAN (depending on the state) say your wed AND best of all you get to go through the fun of divorce without the prenup. (think half or worse) and from my experience the government usually does the f--king and the person usually is the one getting f-ed.

  9. It's usually 5 years for common law. I have never heard of less than 5 years, certainly not one year.
