S3 E8: "Should I get married for tax purposes? My boyfriend swears we'd save money, but I'm not so sure...‪"‬ Bitches Get Riches

TODAY'S QUESTION:
For long term partners, what are the financial benefits of getting married? Why not just continue to live with my significant other and not legally tie the knot? My partner seems to think that our taxes would be way lower if we were to get married, but I'm not so sure. Yes, there is the added safety net of being on your partner's health insurance if you lose your job… but I'm not sure if that is enough to outweigh the financial consequences of divorce, etc. Along the same lines...is there a simple, cheap way to get a pre-nup for two people who both have similar assets/incomes but just want to be on the safe side?
