0:06.7 | So I recently got engaged. My fiance and I are both 36 years old. We're looking to start a Brady Bunch. We've got five kids between 10 and 12, between us. |
0:16.7 | Oh, wow. Between 10 and 12, is that what you said? Yeah, I have twin sons who are 11, and she has a 10-year-old, 11-year-old, and 12-year-old. |
0:25.8 | Oh, my gosh. That's going to be a houseful. That's fun. So great. Yeah, it's been really fun. Yep. So the reason I'm calling is because we have a pretty large difference in assets. And I think based on your |
0:39.8 | advice, the advice would be that we should get a pre-nup. So I have roughly $12 million and she has |

1:41.1 | wise decision to do one. And I say that even more, I have a friend who's going |
1:44.6 | through not a great situation and she came in with a lot more. And now he's just, I mean, it's just |
