Do you need a prenup? Millennials of all income levels have embraced them—not only to protect assets accumlated before and during marriage, but to address societal realities that weren’t necessarily present or common years ago. Experts point to the fact that many millennials are children of divorced parents and have had an intimate look at what can happen financially when a marriage dissolves. At the same time, the stigma or taboo that used to be associated with discussing money before marriage is slowly disappearing. #prenup #marriage #wealth #divorce #alimony #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | Reminder that you can include these things in a prenup: | - pet care - embryo ownership - student debt - social-media use (no nasty posts) - financial separation - alimony provisions
We tend to choose our partners based on shared values, in-common traits and other similarities, marriage researchers say. But money-management styles are one case in which opposites do attract, said Jenny Olson, an assistant professor of marketing at Indiana University who studies couples’ financial decision-making. We are drawn to people who can check and balance our own rigid rules about money, Olson said. Someone who feels they are too focused on saving and not focused enough on using money to enjoy life might look for a partner who can help them feel more comfortable with an occasional splurge. #money #finance #date #dating #Relationship #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal
