We then dive into the more practical aspects of end of life planning like, why is a will even important, and what do most people miss when setting one up? We also touch on Ethical Wills and Pre-Nuptials (aka Pre-Nups), including why you might consider getting one. We cover Erin’s financial journey from the money lessons she learned growing up to the changing money dynamics in her relationship with her Co-Founder husband. And be sure to stay tuned to the end where Erin shares some of her top tips for couples who go into business together.
