As other have said. My wife and I had just graduated college and were on that ramen noodle budget.

Well guess what? No need to worry because you probably ain't ever getting married
That $100,000 in your 401k is safe

Well, when you get married, you become "one," not get married and stay two. If that's the case, why get married?
You have legitimate concerns about getting married and the high divorce rates, so I understand you think it's imperative to get a pre-nup to protect yourself. However, if you're worried about getting screwed by the person you're marrying, you probably shouldn't be marrying her or him or him/her.

This is such a crock of shite I can't stand it when people say it. There's not a damn thing wrong with everyone protecting their shite going into a marriage. Hell it may even reduce resentment, somebody may resent their spouse if they know they'll get half their shite if they divorce
Do yall realize how many people can seem totally normal for YEARS then go absolutely bat shite insane? Especially women??

A prenup automatically invalidates the marriage in the Catholic Church.

The problem isn't you signing one, it's getting her to sign one. Her primary asset is her sexual value, which depreciates over time. She isn't giving up her peak years without a financial stake in exchange. Most women with options will just move on to the next guy.

Of course it is
Therefore I assume you routinely enter legal contracts that can allow someone to seize half of your assets at any point in the future?

I'm close to your age and never married myself. However, I do think I'm with the one I will marry. If I had enough doubt that I felt the need to sign a pre-nup I absolutely wouldn't do it. However, you likely have more assest than I do from the way you speak. For contect her jobs is basically as good or some would consider better than mine. I may make more each week but I work more hours. I had 30+ years to make this choice. I'm confident I picked one I can live with forever

My wife and I never signed one because when we got married it was a making of one out of two. And if ever that was severed the last thing either would be worried about was worldly possessions.

Because good ones are expensive.

But the reality is making transactional/contingent moves for a life change that's not *supposed* to be transactional or contingent
I understand that you emphasized "supposed" in your sentence above, but marriage in America is almost entirely transactional and contingent.
Specifically, it is contingent upon you getting what you want out of it. If you aren't, you are considered justified in breaking the commitment.
Everyone knows this and everyone but a tiny minority in the country approaches marriage this way. Those who even bother to get married in the first place, that is.
Might as well be honest about it. Especially since everything that people say about the justice system absolutely screwing men in divorce is absolutely true.
Now, if you're part of that tiny minority—and some on this thread seem to be—then good for you, and your chances for a meaningful marriage in which you become less selfish and more oriented toward duty and honor and commitment are great.
But not many people are modeling that sort of marriage any more. I understand why young people are confused and cynical. All they see are transactional relationships.

Or, someone may not think twice about pulling the trigger on divorce if they know it will be financially painless for them.

Imma say a very, very small percentage. The vast majority were insane to begin with, their partners just didn't have the ability to discern it.

if you live in a community property state you absolutely should at least get one to opt out of the community property regime.
Protection from each other’s creditors is a good thing.
