#338 | New Trend With Young Married Couples

Why Young, Wealthy Couples Are Keeping Their Stuff Separate

More and more young, successful couples are making an unexpected move with their finances. It's a shift that prompts the question: Can love be forever, while assets remain individual?

🤍What happens when a married couple wants to keep everything (or almost everything) separate?

🤍Is it possible to "share a life" while not sharing wealth?

🤍How does this choice impact trusts, estates, and unforeseen events?
