3 Reasons You Need to Sign a Prenup

I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. I make financial content for free, so you don't have to pay for it.

1. Basic Math

50% of first marriages, 60% of second marriages, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. That's not pessimism; that's knowing the divorce house always wins.

2. Easier Negotiations

It’s much easier to negotiate hard things while you’re still laughing at each other’s jokes than it is when you’re sending each other passive-aggressive Venmo requests.

3. Protecting Your Assets

Prenups aren’t just tools for D-bags to keep the rich rich. They can protect your retirement accounts, your grandmother's engagement ring, and yes—they can even clarify who gets the dog. Trust me, that’s real!

Conclusion

A prenup isn't romance-killing; it’s about making sure you can still wave to one another when you pass each other at the local flea market.
