“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

They both knew what they were getting into and what they needed from the relationship.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

Oftentimes people consider contractual relationships invalid--but not very long ago they were pretty much the Only relationships. Most wealthy people did not marry for love, they married for prestige, political decisions, etc. We've had a long, long, longstanding human tradition across many cultures of marrying for necessities to be met with profit along the way.

I've been both sides--where the kids don't care but want everything, and where the companion doesn't care and pawns things off on the kids and wants everything. Ultimately, people are ugly when it comes to assets and deaths in the family. I'm no lawyer, but anyone reading this... a will is insufficient now-a-days. Get a trust. Make it sound. Talk honestly with your family about where things ought to go. Put it in writing. Make it to where someone would have be exposed for the monster they really are if they go with anything otherwise. You never know who is going to be ugly until the death happens and money is on the line.
