October 25th, from 9-10 AM, Cense will be one of 10 featured startups tabling at IdeaCon 2025.

I’ll be demoing the new prototype, Cense Check, and talking all things personal finance.

Please come say hi! I look forward to seeing you there.

The results are in. The most romantic part of your engagement might just be… your lawyer?

Before saying “I do” to NFL star Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift is reportedly finalizing a prenuptial agreement (aka “prenup”) to protect her $1.6 billion empire — from her master recordings to her right to write breakup songs about him.

She’s not alone. Gen Z couples are prenupping up too, even if their “empire” is mostly student loans, a laptop, and half a Costco membership.

Prenups are moving from taboo to practical. Not because Gen Z loves divorce, but because we finally see marriage as more than a Disney “happily ever after.”

Marriage (if you choose it) is ideally one of the biggest investments of your life. So it deserves a plan, including what the legal side looks like.

Taylor Swift might be protecting her billions, but the logic applies even if your “assets” are Pokémon cards and a dream.

The reality is you already have a prenup — it’s just the default divorce laws of your state. They’ll decide how your stuff gets divided if you don’t.

Myth #1: “A prenup means you think you’ll divorce.”
You don’t wear a seatbelt because you plan to crash (hopefully). You wear it because other drivers exist. Life happens and planning for that is smart.

Myth #2: “Prenups are only for rich people.”
You don’t need a yacht to want clarity about your student loans or savings account.

Myth #3: “Prenups are anti-romance.”
What’s sexier than financial transparency? (Okay, plenty of things, but having hard conversations about important stuff is intimacy, not distance.)

Consult an attorney even if you use a prenup service.

“We’ll never break up!” is a beautiful line that probably started most marriages that filed for divorce last year. Plans change, so plan ahead.

Prenups start with knowing what you own. Budgeting apps make that easier.

RocketMoney and Monarch are both popular options but there are tons of budgeting apps out there.

They track spending but also give a snapshot of your assets and debts in one place.

I use RocketMoney myself. I find it useful but not perfect. I struggle with the data lag issues.

Also, quick reminder that I am not sponsored by any of the tools I note here. I wish I was! These are just the tools I use.

Make checking in on your finances a monthly or quarterly habit.

Open a Note, Google Doc, or spreadsheet titled “Assets & Dreams.”

If you’re in a relationship, sit down and talk about:

If you’re not, map out what that future might look like for you.

Being on the same page financially isn’t planning for the worst, it’s setting yourself up for the best. ;)
