| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. We're about to wrap this season of Love Letters, which, as you know, has been all about love and money. |
| 0:05.6 | I've learned so much from our guests and their stories. |
| 0:08.6 | But before we go, I need to know, what are you taking away from this season? |
| 0:13.0 | What did it make you think about? Did it remind you of a money story from your life? |
| 0:17.6 | Do you have any money-related relationship advice that you just need to share with the world? |
| 0:22.7 | Send us a short voice memo, like three minutes or less, to lovelettersatboston.com. |

| 1:24.9 | Where are you on the prenupt? I have to say, I've never been able to wrap my arms around the |
| 1:29.5 | notion. You say, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And by the way, |
| 1:34.5 | sign on the dotted line. Do I think there's a need to have a prenupt if you're 20 and have |
| 1:39.1 | nothing? Probably not. It makes a lot of sense. And you're not just doing it because you're saying, |
