Marriage Could Cost You $1.7M — The Brutal Math

Описание: If one partner’s spending cuts your household savings from $20k/yr to $5k/yr, you lose roughly $1.7M over 30 years. This video shows the exact math, legal risks, and a checklist to protect your finances and your relationship.


What if I told you that every time you walk down the aisle you’re signing a contract more dangerous than most startup term sheets? This isn’t a metaphor — the law treats marriage like a merger. In this video I break down the cold math, the legal risks, and the exact checklist to protect both your heart and your balance sheet.

📌 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

Quick, brutal math: saving $20k/year at 8% for 30 years becomes about $2,265,664, while cutting savings to $5k/year (extra $15k household spending) drops that to $566,416 — a difference of roughly $1.7M.

Counterparty risk in relationships: secret debt, hidden cards, and why “financial infidelity” is more than drama — it’s risk to your life plan.

Divorce as a long-term liability: how legal fees, commissions, taxes and forced sales erode purchasing power.

Practical protections: vet your partner’s finances like hiring a CFO, why prenups are insurance not jinxes, and how to set up “yours / mine / ours” accounts and automated savings.

The upside: aligned couples compound wealth fastest — shared priorities = a compound interest machine.
