I have my own pension Cashy......I contributed all my life...and I would guess that a lot of women of my era are the same......
Being married isn't about money.

I am not sentimental about committment either. I would never advocate that people stay togethr for the children....all that this does, is give children the wrong idea of how a marriage should be.....neither do I think that someone should stay in an abusive relationship.
I think it is sad that people feel it is no longer necessary to get married, even when children come along. You can make a baby with someone but still not be sure enough about the person you are living with, to get married - how does that work?
As I said in a previous post, I have old fashioned morals and values.......I can't change them, nor would I want to.
