This is really an equal opportunity page. I’ll give this advice for free. Here are the two rules….

If you earn more than your future spouse and/or have a greater net worth, say..I want a Pre Nuptial Agreement. If not, are you prepared to give up 50% of your future earnings, 50% of the rights to any creative works of art, 50% of everything, because that is roughly the cost of a spouse. Marriage is a financial and legal partnership that really harkens back to a different time in society when the opportunities available to men and women were radically different. It is important to see it for exactly what it is. If you’re cool with that, say I do. If not, talk to a good lawyer about the aforementioned agreement.

If you earn significantly less and have a lower net worth, get to the alter as fast as possible and say I do. Then, reproduce. You’re set.
