Short clip from a Ramit Sethi YouTube video advising how to approach prenup/money conversations. Sethi argues you should start by discussing meaning, fears, and hopes about money (values and emotions) before diving into spreadsheets and numbers; sequencing matters because once meaning is aligned, the numbers "work themselves out."

I should have talked about meaning and fears and hopes about money, as opposed to, like, let's go through the numbers. The numbers are like the last part. I was going to say it's not either or. Right. It's sequencing. You got to talk about the numbers. But once you get meaning aligned, the numbers work themselves out.
