Damn - 30 minutes in and the guy is eloquent and interesting.
TLDR : GET A PRENUP - for$2,000 you can save millions in legal fees. 56% of marriages end in divorce- and likely another 20% of marriages are “just to avoid divorce”
“what other contract has such power ofver your life, but almost zero warning? None”
56% of marriages end in divorce, but the serial divorcee effect is real.
The first-marriage divorce rate is lower than the second-marriage rate, which is lower than the third-marriage rate. Some people just can't stop fucking up, which messes with the statistics.
I present the story of six boomers, married 9 times. Five of them are on year 35+ of marriage, while the sixth was divorced three times.
You could say their divorce rate was 33%, or that if you were to be one of the six, you'd have a 16% chance of getting divorced. Both statements are equally true, but they provide different information.
Don't be a selfish dick, and don't marry a turbo-thot, and you've got a better chance of dying of natural causes in your eighties with woman you've spent the last 50 years at your side than the numbers would leave you to believe.
Don't prenups not work though? Or is that propaganda?
I know they are definitely far from foolproof, though. Get the wrong judge, and they'll throw the prenup out the window entirely because "it wouldn't be fair," or because the woman would make less money then if the contract didn't exist...which is like, no shit.
Some judges will literally overrule prenups because they would have worked.
Some judges will literally overrule prenups because they would have worked.
They will also overrule them because they were signed under "duress," because that voids most contracts. Except the "duress" in this case is asking her to sign a prenup, because she is now "coerced" into signing it by you holding the marriage hostage until she does.
So its basically a small extra obstacle you can add to maybe hope the judge doesn't side with the crying woman with the kids and no work history over you.
In a lot of states, you can't sign away interest to monies earned during the marriage. If you're talking about money you bring into it, they do often work.
But people wanted to bring up prenups when Jeff Bezos was divorced. I'm like, you can't do that. He was married while building the company. Half of that is standard. And that would be true whether his wife had worked at the business or not.
Well, I guess I finally found it. The video I can send to someone if they ever ask me "Why don't you want to get married?" as if interacting with women nowadays isn't already a minefield if you don't already know them for a while.

Seems to vary wildly depending on the state.
Wat?
Ok that makes sense.
Soft White Underbelly is about as good as it gets for youtube. Feature-length interviews from people who wouldn't get 30 seconds on TV/Netflix.
