What are the keys to healthy money conversations with a spouse?
20? Definitely more than that. This is not going to be a relatable conversation. But- I get it. Like an investment piece. Like an investment piece. But also there's something that seems like jewelry to me is romantic, I suppose. So I'd want him to give it or for it to be significant- I've spent more on parties than I have on certain items of jewelry. But Terry doesn't understand what parties cost.
So I would never include him in that conversation.
One of the biggest questions for couples, new couples, is to prenup or not to prenup. How do you feel about a prenup? Hold on to your wallets. Money Rehab will be right back. And now for some more money rehab. How do you feel about a prenup?
I feel like there used to be such a big stigma about it. When we were getting married, it would have been like, oh, but. It does seem to me that it makes sense. You talk about everything before you get married. You plan so many things. I hope so. I mean, you should, right? But it really does seem prudent to have financial conversations. We never sat down and said, are you in debt?
I knew I wasn't, but I never asked him that. Did he have student loans or anything from? You know, he probably had literally $200 in student loan. It was such a low interest loan. He kept it till the very end. But besides that, he didn't have debt. But I didn't know that. We never talked about that. I wish we had. It turned out fine. But I would caution my kids if they were getting married.
I think I don't know enough about this kind of law to know what's what. Because Laura Wasser and I have talked about this before. Has she been on your show? Yes.
She's amazing. What a killer. But she also really emphasizes that you have a prenup even if you don't sign a prenup because the state decides. Yeah.
Exactly. So you're agreeing to something without agreeing. But the question is, I think about inherited money. If you take part of your inherited money and you put it into a house that you're now living in with your significant other, I'm not really sure how that works. Do you get your initial investment back and the gain is community property? I'm not really sure how that works.
How much are you going to inherit? How much protection do you need? Is there jewelry in the family? that really should be kept in your family if something were to happen between you. I don't know, things like that. I think they are things worth discussing.
