For example, in the financial war between my parents, my dad is much better off right now. He bought a rolex, a house and a Z4 5 months after settling the divorce. Mom's struggling to make house payments, and her alimony goes away after 7 years. Who is better off? Dad! I've seen it time and again with all my friends parents. It's the reason I'm going to med school, getting a good job and keeping it. I don't want to be dependent on anyone for my income.

The dads are always worse off.
