The prenup boom, explained.
About this episode
The episode discusses the rise in prenups among younger Americans and explores financial trends related to interest rates and AI fatigue.
New data shows 53% of engaged or married Americans under 45 now have a prenup, up from 34% just a few years ago - and women are the driving force behind the shift. Sophie and Vic unpack what's behind the surge, what the "default" marriage contract looks like if you never write your own, and the question lawyers say you need to answer before you book one: what's your actual worst-case scenario. Plus: New Zealand, Australia and the UK just made three different interest rate calls off the same oil shock, and Amazon's $25B bond raise came in softer than expected, a possible early signal of AI fatigue.
