I have a friend who married someone 20 years her senior and now has 4 young kids. I have always found it very sad that he is about 60 and just having these kids. What are the odds he'll live to see them to adulthood??? On the flip side, when you love someone, love knows no age.
In their particular case his business is floundering and she is young and has a good career ahead of her. He'll probably retire and watch the kids while she works, etc. I think for them it will work out okay financially. Though that is probably a situation where long-term care insurance is key. Don't want to be worried about nursing home expenses for your spouse when your kids hit college, etc. I had honestly never really thought about the financial ramifications before. Unique, for sure.
