3 Reasons You Need to Sign a Prenup Right Now

I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. If any of this is helpful, check out my new podcast, Your Money Guide on the Side, by clicking the link in my bio.

1. Changing the Perception of Prenups

If the word prenup makes you flinch, you’re doing it wrong. It’s not a prediction of divorce; it’s a commitment to fairness if life goes sideways.

2. Ensuring Fairness

You ensure your car, your house, your phone—what about the biggest financial contract of your life? You just high-fived and hoped for the best? A good prenup says, I love you enough to talk about the hard stuff right now, before it actually gets hard. If you can talk about a wedding budget, you can talk about a prenup. It’s not unromantic; it’s grown-up.

Conclusion

Taking this step helps establish a strong foundation for your marriage and gives both parties peace of mind.
