I've never understood why the man has to pay for his ex wife after they are divorced. Total BS and sexist. How many men do you ever hear about getting paid alimony?
It's always equality and women's live until divorce time, then the guy gets bent over and fucked even if the divorce isn't his fault.

Keep in mind the age. Not to long ago it was damn near required that women marry their income and not become an "old maid". If and a big if they wanted or could get a job, it was pretty much being selfish and they were either a nurse or a secretary. So yes for some generations alimony was damn fine. Literally her job was the home.
Now my father did not get alimony when he divorced and gained full custody way back when (very rare) primarily because he was the main bread winner and he waived a small amount the court offered. However he was awarded child support which was never paid.
However on the flip side there are plenty of male gold diggers who do get alimony. Hell didn't britney's ex get some too, plus other fat checks and now for certain child support.
BTW there is nothing wrong at all saving pennies. It takes very little to no damn time. Hell I use coupons, why not. I read the paper anyways, take a second or two to rip out a few and drop them into my shopping list/envelope. Sure I guess I could be watching tv while that file uploads or posting here.
Also thrifts stores, hell they do not bother me either and hell it is half off every friday. Certain things I will not buy there, however some shit is just the same just nearly 80 times cheaper. Lastly why toss something out when I can slap it on ebay or craigslist and have someone else pay for it?
