Your Divorce Probably Won't Cost $48.6million

Are you uncomfortable with the notion of a pre-nup? Is your potential partner balking at the very thought?
Paul McCartney Didn't Have A Pre-Nup and it cost him $48.6 million when he and Heather Mills divorced. Most likely your divorce wouldn't cost that much but money is an essential component of any marriage; and the cause of plenty of divorces.

If knowledge is power at least consider the following factors when deciding if this "financial" partnership is right for you.

1.Do you like controlling your money?
Or do you like someone else managing your money?
2.How do you spend your money?
Does charity begin at home (a.k.a. do you often buy a new pocketbook or set of golf clubs) or
Does charity begin in your community (you give often and a lot to aid others)?
3.Are you a "saver"?
Do you want to save for your retirement?
4.Do you think it falls on your shoulders to save over your lifetime to support your children? Pay for college or graduate programs? Pay for your grandchildren? Save money for your children to inherit?
5. Are you a bear or a bull when it comes to investing?

Pre-nups are awkward, they imply that you don't trust the marriage to last. But determining and discussing the way you want to spend and save your money is a good way to decide if your marriage partnership will have disagreements around the volatile issue of money.
