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
