Your spouse just found out they're inheriting money, and now they want a postnup. Do you panic, or do you see it for what it actually is?

In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down the real purpose of prenups and postnups, share why they got one after almost a decade of marriage, and explain why the stigma around these agreements is costing couples more than they realize. Spoiler: your state already wrote your prenup. You just don't know what it says.

They cover what to actually include in a postnup (inheritance, kids' accounts, mortgages, debt), why you don't divorce the same person you married, and why building these protections while love is high is the smartest financial move a couple can make.

Think of it as love insurance, you hope you never need it, but you'll be grateful it's there.

Life insurance is one of the most misunderstood parts of financial planning.

In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down what life insurance is actually meant to do and why most people think about it the wrong way.

Instead of treating life insurance like an investment, it should be viewed as income protection. If your income disappeared tomorrow, would your family still be financially secure?

We cover:

• Who actually needs life insurance
• Why term life insurance works for most people
• The real difference between term and whole life policies
• How much life insurance you should consider
• Why waiting to buy a policy can cost you more
• Why life insurance through work usually isn’t enough

If you have a spouse, kids, or anyone financially dependent on you, this episode explains why life insurance is one of the foundational pieces of a solid financial plan.
