Prof G Markets · Marriage Is the Biggest Financial Risk You’ll Take — ft. James Sexton · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

I mean, look, I'm

I'm still very much a romantic at heart, even after doing this for 25 years.

Like, I think that the value that a good, strong relationship brings to someone in their life is, you can't measure it.

I mean, I've seen some incredibly successful people have incredibly successful marriages.

And by the way, I don't think a marriage has to last forever for it to be successful.

I think, you know, you can have a happily ever after separately.

You know, my ex-wife,

has been remarried for 15 years.

She's a wonderful person.

The man she married is a wonderful guy.

I consider him part of our family.

You know, and we raised our sons as a group, and I'm so blessed to have had that chapter.

And I think that it would be much healthier if we viewed relationships as chapters in a long story.

And I think, you know, marriage came about when most women died in childbirth and most men died before they were 50.

And now, happily ever after, marriage is running into the same problems that the pension system is running into, which is it made sense when you paid in for 20 years and then you died when you were in payout for 10 years.

But now you pay in for 25 years and then your defined benefit plan kicks in and it's paying you for the next 40 years.

This is why the postal system is going to go under, because the pension, it was not designed for these current climate conditions.

I mean, marriage is...

Like so many other things, we are primates living in medieval institutions with godlike technology in our hands.

Like, how does that story end?
