Article on prenups in @NewYorker written with a bizarre snarky tone, as if millennials are getting prenups simply because it's cool & aspirational
Prenups make sense for a small group of people: Where one/both have substantial pre-marital assets
Millennials are old enough to have these!
My wife and I got a prenup. It took many months of conversation between us and lawyers. It got really hard. We went to see a therapist, who helped us unlock better communication. We both agreed we wanted to share more of what we went through -- especially because this is such a taboo topic -- which is why we've spoken publicly about our prenup multiple times
In America culture, the idea of a prenup is a wealthy man being chauffeured in his limo, throwing out a sheaf of papers and saying, "SIGN THIS!" But that's not how prenups actually work. That's just an idea popularized in movies and TV
If one partner has a business, or a large portfolio, or an inheritance, or student loans, it may make sense to sign a prenup. You're deciding what might happen in the unfortunate case you separate. In essence, you're deciding what to do at your best so you don't have to decide at your worst
In fact, with urban women earning more than men in their 20s, increasingly women are requesting prenups!
In most other parts of life, we intuitively understand the need for contracts & planning. But in the Disney-ified American romantic ideal of marriage, we still find the idea of a prenup to be off-putting, even revolting.
If you qualify for a prenup, it's already an overwhelming and confusing process. For one of the most taboo topics in personal finance, prenups don't deserve this kind of snarky article.

I spend $20k a year on uber. I don’t think a Tesla is a black car. @dkhos and @Uber @Uber_Support give me the option to not be picked up in a Tesla. Or I’m gone.

I have two toddlers (3.5, 2), and I work in crypto.
I get asked a lot about how I do this, and it comes from fellow parents, and people without kids. I like to tell it how it is, so here goes:
1. Au pair - our au pair lives with us. She’s a part of our family and does so much. She travels with us.
2. My mom - my mom lives with us. 5 years ago, tbh, I couldn’t imagine asking my mom to come live with me. We love each other, but our relationship was never very easy. You have kids, and things change. My mom helps with groceries, cooking, childcare, and fun activities with the kids on weekends. She’s the best grandma. Our relationship had evolved a lot.
3. Housekeeper - the same woman has been cleaning house for us for 10 years. Now that I have two kids, she comes twice a week. I know that seems crazy, but it’s the only way my house isn’t a total wreck. I work from home so keeping the house tidy is needed for me. There are still toys everywhere.
4. My in-laws - my in laws live overseas, we spend each summer with them. They contribute so much to my kids’ lives. They do a ton of fun stuff with them, teach them things, involve them in their daily lives, and host them when I travel for work.
6. My brother - he’s the best uncle and takes my kids to the park on the weekend so I can rest, see a friend, exercise, run an errand.
6. My sister and brother in law - helped me so much when I was very pregnant with my second and had a 17m old. There were lots of sleep overs before and after my second was born so I could sleep or be with the baby.
7. My husband - he’s also focused on his career, he’s a seed stage founder, but he’s 50/50 with me on the kids. It’s been this way since day 1. I feel lucky, but real talk, they are OUR children. This is the way it should be but very few women I know have this level of partnership. My husband is a gem of a man and I’m lucky to have him.
Im super lucky, in that I feel like I ‘have it all’, but the truth behind what you see is there is a team of people helping me get it done.
You might read this and judge me - that’s fine. But if one person reads this and it normalizes something for them, or they feel less bad about being exhausted, or skipping a work trip, then I’m happy.
Btw, I’m still exhausted a lot of the time.
Sincerely,
41 year old exhausted mother of 2 toddlers

Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited!… Let me tell you something, women have to work ten times harder and perform ten times better and STILL our success comes with excuses… its because shes pretty or because she slept her way to the top. I see the disgusting attacks against Kamala and it’s not only angered me but has motivated me MORE now than ever to not just say something, but to DO something!… I cant stand a bully!
