Because you change so much. A lot of people haven't even picked careers so how can you really write down going to law school if you don't know that's what you want to do? <br /><br />I think it's important to discuss the financial aspects of life, but you change so much between 20 and 30, it's tough to have a prenup. <br /><br />You may not want kids at 25, but radically change your mind at 35 (it happened to a coworker), and the negotiated prenup means squat. You suddenly want to be a SAHM, but that wasn't even considered at 25. So it's a tough call and more why I think it's appropriate for older couples rather than young people. <br /><br />PS I work with a women who is 27 married to a 42 year old man. They have a prenup, and she says now she doesn't want kids..but everyone at work says she didn't get her tubes tied, so she might change her mind. <br /><br />Another friend tied her tubes at 24 after 2 kids, no more...so I think it's tough to decide your life so young.Living Almost Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-7671031130658328302006-12-13T00:16:00.000-05:002006-12-13T00:16:00.000-05:00I actually wrote on this topic a while ago - I thi...I actually wrote on this topic a while ago - I think everyone, including young people, should strongly consider getting a prenup. Although you may not have significant assets or liabilities right, you will almost certainly accumulate them as you progress in your careers, go back to school, stay home with the kids, etc., etc. If Spouse A supports Spouse B through law school, or if Spouse B gives up a big time law career to stay-at-home for 3 years - those are moves with real financial consequences. Of course, you always hope the prenup will just end up being a piece of paper. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
