Summary

One of the most fundamental decisions you can make in life is to marry or not to marry. If you marry, your life, your budget, and your career will look dramatically different than a peer who remains unmarried.

Marriage can be one of the biggest blessings to your life, resulting in greater happiness, better health, a higher income, and more wealth.

Marriage can also be one of the greatest curses you can experience and it can devastate your emotional state, your physical health, your career, and your wealth.

So, you need to choose wisely.

In Part 1 of this series, I discussed various ways that you can prepare yourself to be attractive to an excellent wife.

In today's show, I do my best to give you an honest assessment of the risks involved so you can choose whether you desire to marry or to remain unmarried.

I hope it's thought-provoking.

0:00.0	Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now,
0:08.0	while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.
0:11.0	Today we pick up a long neglected series called How to Find an Excellent Wife.
0:16.5	This is part two of the series. Part one was released as episode 615 on January 8, 2019. Part 1 was entitled The Preparation. Part 2 is entitled
0:29.5	The Decision. In essence, the decision of whether you should marry or remain unmarried.
0:37.6	The basic concept of this series is I'm targeting it towards young men who are seeking
0:42.0	to figure out how to find an excellent wife.
0:46.3	Because I'm convinced that this is one of the most important decisions that will shape
0:50.0	your life and will certainly shape your finances.
0:53.2	A couple of ways that this works.
0:55.2	First, I think an excellent wife is far more valuable than money.
1:00.1	I think if you talk to almost any happily married man who has an excellent wife and ask him
1:05.1	how much money he would be happy to spend in order to save his wife's life or how much he would pay
1:11.6	to to keep her generally the answer is almost infinite.
1:16.0	There's almost no amount of money and I think that reflects the amount of value that many people
1:21.6	would place on the value of their wife.
1:24.0	Just trying to put this into a financial context.
1:26.0	The other reason this is so important is because the decision to marry or not to marry
1:31.0	will drive your entire life structure and it will influence
1:35.6	every component of your finances and this is completely inescapable. The whole
1:40.7	structure of your life, the whole structure of your businesses, the whole structure of your money, the whole structure of your investments,
1:46.5	the whole structure of insurance products that you choose to have or don't choose to have will be influenced based upon your decision to marry or remain unmarried.
