90% of Americans have little to no assets when they marry. Prenups make sense for a very small % of the population. Worried about inherited assets. Don't comingle them once you inherit them. They're not marital assets.

People wonder why Americans suck at marriage so badly? Plebes worrying about shit like this when they think they'll lose their 8 track collection.

you think the reason to get a pre-nup is $$, then you don't know what theFUCK ur taklking about
isnt there a lawyer on this board?


LOL
are you saying prenups are why marriages fail?
marriages fail apart because of lying

get a prenup, even if you are both "poor"
it opens up talk about money
-did you know about the $40K student loan debt? well you are married, so now that debt is YOURS
-did you know s/he pays $$ for child support?
a prenup opens up talk about money
-If you own a business that you started all by yourself, and your partner has no involvement in it, having a prenuptial agreement in place simply makes sense
-Whether you or your future spouse have money that is (or will be) inherited,

lots of reasons to get a pre-nup
only emotional ones to NOT get a pre-nup
ask any gamer
"should you save your game before entering that castle/cave??
LOLZ no shit, you should

why do marriages end?
-1 LACK OF COMMUNICATION
2 MONEY
3-10 BS

The 90% figure is the approximate amount of households in this country that have less than 1 million in assets.

If you marry someone with children from a prior marriage, you're not on the hook for their child support.

Student debt is not marital debt if you don't comingle.

Inherited property is not a marital asset unless you comingle.

I can't help it if people are morons and willingly mix their assets with their spouses when they have no obligation to do so. But tell me more Dr Phil. I'm intrigued by some mook on a hooker board giving marital advice. Especially one who leaves his kitchen in a mess. Try again BCPL.

I can end the discussion with the fact there is absolutely no good reason to get married.

classic bcpl. what a f ucked up discussion. goes nowhere? was this a psa? people have the information at hand and can make their own decisions. hopefully the one you marry doesn't turn out to be amber heard. what a disaster. not sure if a prenup will save anyone from that.
