Description

In this eye-opening episode of Don’t Go Broke Trying, Reni sits down with Aimee Schalles and Amanda Baron, two practicing lawyers and co-founders of Jointly, a legal tech platform making prenups and cohabitation agreements more accessible for everyday Canadians.

Together, they unpack the stigma around prenups and explain why legal agreements like prenups, postnups, and cohabitation contracts are important tools for anyone in a serious relationship, not just for celebrities and millionaires.

From breaking down what these agreements really mean, to busting the myths that make people avoid them, this conversation will make you rethink what financial protection in love actually looks like.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The difference between prenups, postnups, and cohabitation agreements

  • Why everyone, not just wealthy couples should consider one

  • How to bring up a prenup with your partner (without killing the romance)

  • What a prenup can and can’t include (especially when it comes to kids, houses, and businesses)

  • How to use these agreements as tools of care, not conflict

This episode will leave you with a clear understanding of what prenups are (and aren’t), why they’re not just for the rich and famous, and how they can actually strengthen your relationship not weaken it.
