1 week agoThe Appeal of Prenups
Millennials and Gen Z increasingly use prenups as practical protection, status signaling, and streamlined digital solutions facilitated by apps and coaches.
At 29, I wasn't just finalizing a divorce. I was entering a new era of contractual self-protection. That meant completely rewiring how I think about partnership, boundaries, and my own value. When you go through something like marriage fraud, you learn firsthand that love without legal protection can cost you more than heartbreak. It can cost you your peace, your assets, and your sense of control. That experience completely changed how I approach contracts, not just in relationships, but in business.
