Shownotes

The prenup is getting a modern makeover. Once seen mainly as a way for the ultrawealthy to protect their assets in the event of a divorce, they’ve now become a financial planning tool for many middle-class newlyweds. WSJ’s Erin Mulvaney (wsj.com/news/author/erin-mulvaney?mod=WSJ_TJPOD)talks about what’s driving the change in prenup culture (wsj.com/personal-finance/prenup-stay-at-home-p…), and one New York couple dives into the money conversations they had before tying the knot! Jessica Mendoza (wsj.com/news/author/jessica-mendoza?mod=WSJ_TJ…) hosts.
