Whats your commentary on people who marry and then divorce very late in life like Bill Gates? After all if the primary purpose was to protect against this aggressively lonely stage in life -- no fault divorce has thrown that guarantee out the window.

They seem to now be in the same position as long term single people -- except it's a massive uprooting stressor placed on you in your final years.

A couple billion dollars generally ensures you'll have maximum potential capability until you expire.

Right but the example wasn't a billionaire per se -- just someone who divorced late in life. Bill Gates just being a good recent example of that.
