But if you think about 10 million and 300 million, and anyone listening to this that might have thought instantly 100,000, the behaviors and things that you would have to do to achieve those are so drastic. from the day-to-day work to the technical work to even the industry that you would pursue. And it's funny that goes back to our conversation.
It's our thinking that will dictate our actions and our life is just based on actions and choices. That's it.
Yeah, so I think both of my parents did a really good job at just explaining to me what the value of money is, right? Having a healthy relationship with money. That was first. But it was actually my grandfather who broke through for me. My grandfather was an oral surgeon. He went to Penn, a very bright guy. So, you know, you think about someone like that, he's an outlier with his brain power.
And I only say that because that same man who's an outlier with his brain power, who could do oral surgery work and make a good living, He is the same man that got absolutely crushed by a financial advisor who was unethical and took him for over half of his wealth.
You can be really good at one thing, you can be really smart with books, but if you don't have an idea of all the things in life that are just important, enough to know to even hire the right people, it can be a detriment. And at 16 years old, I'll never forget it. He walked me up his steps. He had two screens. He popped open his investment account.
And he said, if there's one thing I will make sure that you learn for the rest of your life is that you understand numbers. You understand your numbers enough so that if you work with someone, you know how to hire them. It's kind of like a sommelier. You don't have to be a sommelier to pick a good bottle of wine.
But if you have a sommelier at a restaurant ordering for you, you got to know enough to make sure that you're not getting taken advantage of. And so he showed me at 16, I saw his whole portfolio, every dollar he had, every dollar was my step grandmother at the time that she had. He talked to me about what will happen when he dies. This will go to your mom. This will go to your aunt.
This will go to your step grandma. And it was that transparency that made me, it just all clicked. I was like, I'm not going to be afraid of numbers. I'm going to step into them. And so from that day on, I just always had an infatuation with numbers, the transparency behind them and what we can learn from them.
Oh, my gosh. Well, I mean, the biggest discovery, especially when you think about love and money, is that the conversations aren't being had. And when people try to step into the conversations, they are getting terrible responses. And as a result of that, we inherently as animals are saying we're not going to have conversations because when we step into them, it hurts.
But the reality is the proof is always in the numbers. 50% of relationships, married or cohabitating, don't feel comfortable talking about money. Of the 50% that do feel comfortable talking about them, 75% of them say it leads to material tension. So you have 50% of people that won't talk about it. You take the group that does, 75% of them saying it's leading to tension.
Now we talk about the love aspect. That group, that small group that feels like they can talk about money and it leads attention, over half of them when surveyed said that it had led to massively decreased intimacy. And money reasons are the number two reason behind divorce. So the thing is, is that we continue to skirt. We continue to avoid the conversation. We continue to step around it.
But at some point, you're stepping into it. And if you're cohabitating or you're married, you've officially stepped into it. And we talk about post-numps and pre-numps a lot. And at the end of the day, everyone out there has a pre-nump. It's your state laws.
The idea is do you want to protect yourself by customizing those state laws or do you want to keep those based on what was established years and years ago?
My biggest takeaway with all of it is that we need to get comfortable with talking about what we make, what we spend, what our net worth is, where we have credit, where we want to spend, where we can pull back in our priorities, because it's all about compromise. It's all about compromise. The things you would like to spend on, Heather, are things I might think are the dumbest thing in the world.
And the things I might like to spend on, you might think are a joke. But when you have these conversations, you can say in the middle, like, hey, I understand. It's your friend. That makes you happy. So I'm not going to shame or weaponize it and vice versa. And I think that's what we need to do. Have that conversations. And then when someone gives you their vulnerability, don't you
don't you dare use that vulnerability as a weapon or a tool to shame them because it's so hard to open up in the first place.
Prenumps are not at all based on romance. There's no connection to romance in a prenup. When you get married, you're doing a bunch of things. And based on your religion and your beliefs and your character, you're committing to a lot of things. But legally, you're committing to a partnership. And it's also a binding partnership that ties you in as life partners, but also
business partners to a certain extent. And so the conversation, first of all, needs to start with, think about anything in life we know that historically has shown us evidence of things we need to be aware of. A very, very simple example. I don't like to judge anybody, but let's call vaping.
We know from the biggest and best doctors in the entire planet, one of the few things in this world we can all agree on, Vaping is unhealthy for many reasons. We know it. Are people still going to do it? Yeah. We know that the likelihood of it working out in your favor is not good. Unfortunately, what we've learned with divorces is that they happen, and they happen around 50% of the time.
And we also learned that if you've already been married and you're going into your second marriage, your likeliness of another divorce is about 65%. And then if you get married again, it's around 75%. And the likelihood of you remarrying the first person you get divorced with is 6%. So why ignore studies that we have?
