Hey Girlies,
Quick question: Would you sign a contract governing half your assets, your retirement accounts, and years of your financial future without reading it first?
Because that’s literally what happens when you get married without a prenup.
Marriage is already a financial contract. You’re just letting the state write the terms instead of writing them yourself.
We know, we know — prenups sound unromantic.
They feel like admitting defeat before you even start.
But after talking with divorce attorney Aaron Thomas (who’s handled over 1,000 cases), we have a fresh new take on the power of prenups.
In this week’s episode, Aaron walks us through:
* The #1 issue he sees destroying even good marriages
* Why middle-class couples actually need prenups MORE than wealthy people
* What prenups can do for your marriage while you’re happily in it
* Aaron’s exact script for bringing up the prenup conversation without it turning into a Love is Blind drama moment
The conversation we had isn’t really about divorce at all. It’s about the money conversations couples need to have but keep avoiding (until something goes wrong).
Things like…
Who handles what?
How do we make big financial decisions together?
What happens if one of us takes time off work?
How do we make sure we’re both building wealth, even if one partner earns less?
Aaron’s approach is to answer these questions when you love each other, not when you’re sitting in a lawyer’s office wishing you’d talked about this years ago.
Whether you’re dating, engaged, or already married, this episode will change how you think about money and partnership. 💍
Seriously, this episode — and a good prenup — is for everyone.
See ya next time,Emily + Cassidy
P.S.If you want to go even deeper, Aaron wrote a whole book about this — The Prenup Prescription. You can also find him at prenups.com or @prenupguy on Instagram.
P.P.S. An upcoming Finance Girlies guest (our friend Jessica Norwood) loved Aaron’s advice so much, she and hubby Brandon hired him to help them create a postnup. Listen to that story here!
