I found
this article about signing a prenup to be so interesting. I relate to how the woman is feeling from how I was in my 20s and 30s, but I very much relate to the man, who's in his 40s as I am. It's a scary thing to have assets and be around someone you love who doesn't understand how to accumulate or protect assets. I am so so so glad my partners and I came into our relationship at about the same level of cluelessness and similar amounts of debt (though NT had more assets). I would have a hard time entering into a marriage in my 40s with someone like this woman who doesn't care about money and squanders it.Very interesting article

I'm very old fashioned about marriage and would react badly if a partner wanted a prenup, no matter which of us had more assets, because I would be horrified they would even consider terminating the marriage with anything other than one of our deaths. I don't sense that perspective AT ALL from this article. I think she just hated having to acknowledge that she hadn't been saving.
Must admit I also don't understand people who are okay having a child with somebody they won't marry. If you don't understand which of those things is the more irrevocable commitment, you're an idiot.

Greenleaf-sometimes people can make terrific parents but not so great spouses. I can absolutely see wanting to parent with someone who would make a great parent, but not necessarily want to be married to them.

People who aren't very good with money do typically respond in this way, to question why the subject of money is even brought up when it comes to something like "love." Like it or not, money is a part of love, life and everything else.
