I was just telling my therapist the other day that I never would be able to retire because of my alimony payments. This new law gives me a sliver of hope, as much as I hate that I have DeSantis to thank for it.

Then again, considering that my ex gets a quarter of my paycheck (used to be a third) I can’t save for retirement anyway, so it’s a moot point.

Remember kids, the most expensive thing in the world is a cheap lawyer…

Could have been worse… at least we split things evenly. I got her gambling debts and she got my retirement check.
