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

where you sign up for something and they can change the essential terms and you're not allowed to say, well, wait a minute, if you change the amount of my car lease, I don't want it anymore.

No, you change what apartment I get in my apartment lease.

No, no, I signed up for this one.

Like the state legislature in the state in which you reside for a period of six months or more has jurisdiction over your divorce and they can change.

Now, by the way, I don't care what side of the political aisle, left, right, or a raging moderate.

That was my little plug for you, Scott.

Yeah.

The reality is you put yourself in this situation and you're, I guarantee over the last 16 years, every single person you know has looked at the government at some point and said, these people are idiots.

So you're signing a prenup with the government.

Or, or the person you like better than the other 8 billion other options.

Or this person and I, this person I've chosen out of the 8 billion options, we are going to make a rule set for our marriage.

There is no contest there as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, look, it may be a difficult conversation.

And that's what I was saying earlier about don't marry someone if you can't have difficult conversations with them.

The solution to it, though, is, look, I've been to the DMV.

I've never walked into the DMV and thought, oh, yeah, these people should be in charge of everything.

They've got this whole thing locked down.
