My wife and I came from two very different income brackets. My father was a successful businessman and while we were dating sold his company. His share was in the low 8 figure range. He died a year or two later due to a congenital heart defect. We thought about a prenup for a while, my wife was even on board, but every time we started to actually work on getting it set up, it all felt very weird and unsettling. It's also kind of strange, in that I personally didn't have much in the way of assets, but my mother was left with too much to ever spend, and my father had a generation skipping trust setup that was funded by his life insurance, so that my kids were destined to be multi-millionaires before they were even born (something that we are keeping from them until my mother passes). So, we were kind of planning around the possibility that my mother would die early or that we would divorce after 30 years, and that seemed odd. 13 years and two kids later ... shrug
