Episode notes

This chapter discusses the emotional and psychological challenges that come with discussing prenuptial agreements in a relationship. The speakers highlight the conflict between emotions and logical thinking when it comes to considering a prenup. They also touch on the importance of finding the right timing to have this conversation and the need for both partners to understand and agree on its significance.

On today’s Millennial Investing Rewind Episode, Robert Leonards chats with Erin Lowry to discuss her book— Broke Millennial Talks Money: Scripts, Stories and Advice to Navigate Awkward Financial Conversations. Erin is a personal finance expert, founder of Broke Millennial, and the author of the now three-part Broke Millennial Series. Her main goal is to get people more comfortable with their money and to talk about their finances in a way that it is understandable, digestible, non-condescending and most importantly relatable.
