Prenup- do we absolutely need lawyers (each)? Or does one of those online services with standard docs suffice?
We don’t think our situation is complicated- neither of us own a home/cars, but have some investments, both expect some inheritance eventually, and both get a chunk of equity from work that we’d like to call out. We’ve already discussed in depth how we want to split things.

If you want it to hold up in Court if it is later challenged by one of you, yes you both need lawyers.

Haha exactly my feelings too! But better to do it right!

Depends on the state (in CA it's a requirement for a valid prenup) but I'd think you should both retain counsel. I've seen those online services like hello prenup or whatever and while I think it's fine if you want a legally worthless document that outlines your finances - I don't think it's the most ironclad.

I’m a divorce attorney and I agree with the above comment- you each need your own attorney if you want it to be enforceable unfortunately. Also, do not sign too close in time to the wedding or it can be thrown out!

This is super helpful thank you!!!

SO and I are debating contributing to 401k this year since the rate of return is around -11% on our portfolios this year. I believe it would be better off saving the cash in my account.

I'm thinking of contributing again when/if the market picks up next year. Thoughts?

I have a Roth IRA which I contributed $6k to in January. However, I didn’t realize that my income this year makes me ineligible for a Roth IRA. When I switched firms this year, I rolled over my 401k

I have about 40k

Once I learned more about retirement, I then stopped contributing to traditional 401k and started maxing out my Roth 401k
I have about 60k

I have about 25k of matched contributions

This is where I get fuzzy
-Should I/can I call the broker to roll over my traditional 401k to my Roth 401k (or do I need to open a separate Roth IRA and have them roll it into this?)
