What got you thinking and writing about prenups?

Here's why Devin from Love is Blind should definitely take his fiancee, Virginia, up on her offer for a prenup.

You have laid out what my understanding of a prenup always was, which is there's a rich guy.

He's coming to the marriage with all the money.

The woman has no or less money.

And so the idea is basically like, I'm going to protect myself from this woman just in case.

Very gendered scenario that I just laid out, but I also think rooted in some truth.

You said it was a woman on Love is Blind who was like, I want a prenup and she didn't have money.

So what are the differences that we're seeing here?

I wonder about something.

When you were learning about the details of people's prenups, what surprised you?

Like what really raised your eyebrows or made you go, oh, damn, they really thought of something there.

I want to ask you about the question of inheritance because we've covered on this show before the great wealth transfer.

You know what this is.

Yes.

It's like millennials and Gen Zers are going to inherit like trillions of dollars from their boomer parents over the next decade or 20 years.

And I would imagine that...

The great wealth transfer and younger people expecting to get something from it actually may be juicing the prenup industry as well.

It's like, I know that I'm inheriting an enormous amount of money and I want to kind of bulletproof myself.

Do you see that playing into it at all?
