I realize every situation is different, but I am just curious on this topic. Who, while serving in the CF, does better financially? At least on average? Obviously everyone has different priorities in life, but if my main goal is financial stability (comfortable but not rich), is it better to just stay single?
I see financial benefits to being married such as the economy of scale that comes from splitting a mortgage, major purchases and so on, but that's not always the case if your spouse doesn't have a job or if they have a low paying one.
At the same time, I see a lot of guys going through messy divorces (losing money, pension time) or living pay cheque to pay cheque since they are the sole worker in the family. Not really interested in that. Are pre-nups useful?
Anyone willing to throw their 2 cents my way? Anyone have any good/bad experiences they care to share from a financial standpoint?
Thanks!
