Before You Get Married

Getting married can be expensive. Once you are married, how will people spend their money? Discussing money issues ahead of time, (spending habits and where you each feel your money should go), can prevent disagreements later. How will the bills be split up? Will a prenuptial agreement be necessary? This young man seems to have considered this. He tries to earn a little money before his future wedding.
