    Being in a relationship with a slowlaner...

    You two should consider what a post-nup communicates to a Leader. Protector. Provider. (Pre-nup is a bit different if one party brings a business or seven digit wealth to the relationship, but otherwise, same same)

    @CarrieW- Which I guess balances out Nadia's post for the needs of men. You ably demonstrate the key needs of most women(especially moms)- security and emotional support. It's taken me forever to learn that latter one... (EDIT) These are super important to remember for an entrepreneurial...

    Being in a relationship with a slowlaner...

    GOLD! SLOWLANE PEOPLE CHAT 
    Knowing what you said in your follow on posts, why are you guys doing a postnup? It seems like you've worked like a team through hell and for decades, why do the business portion of a divorce now? When DW says "whatever you want" for something important I see an oncoming train, maybe years...

    An important reminder that isn't much talked about in the book

    Agreed- my comments were specific to business structures which so many get stuck on. Insurance needs are very specific to industry and net worth/collectibility of the business owner(s) but do think about insuring assets or getting a liability umbrella in place to protect yourself. IP is...

    An important reminder that isn't much talked about in the book

    Don't get too hung up on business structures until you're actually doing something. There are very damn few things that are irreversible.

    Yes, passed Nov 5, 2012 and covered all earnings in 2012, last election I voted in as a Californian. They've also been kicking around an exit tax, which I had dismissed as crazy talk until I had to pay a retro-F*cking-active tax increase. It seems to me "zero F*cks given" has to do with what...

    GOLD! SLOWLANE PEOPLE CHAT 
    IME, Sidewalkers are most obsessed with the trappings of wealth and "deserve". Most Slowlaners (Dave Ramsey, Millionaire Next Door, etc) on their way to success must sacrifice and be diligent with savings- this might be as much of a problem, but it's quite different from the competition of...

    Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)

    HOT! 
    Have you considered building your own? I used to run dual Xeon processor number crunchers for work and my last two machines we built even when I wasn't paying the bill. I could get more machine for half the cost, and just as importantly, if it broke in the middle of a job we could go buy the...

    I really like kevdesdev's post. My wife is currently a slowlaner, and I can almost guarantee she wouldn't read TMF, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Ask yourself if you're using your SO's concerns as your own excuse. I think this is much more common than is given credit. You're going...

    Lawyer Referral

    Well, I did use the qualifier "good" lawyer. The first time I tried to hire a lawyer was over a contract dispute and a thousand bucks. The lady that did the firm's incoming actually told me not to bother despite knowing I had the money to fight and was pissed off enough to spend more than a...

    I get and share the concerns. But Shay Carl of YT channel Shaytards and co-founder Maker Studios did OK- $500mil +$450mil performance money after sale to Disney. http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/24/disney-maker-studios/ 5 years ago this guy was selling granite countertops in Idaho. His story...

    Lawyer Referral

    Honestly, a good attorney would probably tell you not to bother, if you are a new client. Cheap attorneys are the most expensive kind. Look at this as a cheap education remembering you invest in the founder, not the idea. Law is no more intrinsically fastlane than being a janitor.

    Don't get a job * Unless it is to learn sales*

    Good choice with IB. Skipping college for the right person is solid. The fundamentals you'll practice in AP or IB translate to the real world and are worth the time. (My school actually combined it to AP/IB)
