160k, what to do?

and so could he draw on it if he has court judgements against him or be tested for benefits.

He might not draw on it, that is as likely as him not marrying (and non married men live 10 years less I think on average).

Given we have no data to suggest health we cannot say his likelyhood of marrying, or of succumbing to disease, losing his job, or being sued. Best to say what happens in all cases and your assumptions have been wrong in general.

I think atush is hinting that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Women, eh?

atush

No, he Might be in want of a wife or in fact husband. Or he may not.

The point is we don't know?

Some people are single because they want to be. Others say they want to be but actually want to be in a couple but haven't found a partner or have given up looking for one.

It was a joke, atush, an allusion to the opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice.

Yeah, I got that.

But don't think Nic does.
