Prince Charles and Lady Di didn’t…and it cost the Prince more than 17 million pounds ($27 million today) during their divorce.   As you can imagine, as much as people were chatting about what Kate’s dress would look like, just as many were speculating about whether William and Kate would sign a prenup.

As we reflect on the royal wedding, here is a statistic to ponder: the number one cause for divorce is miscommunication about money.  In most cases, it’s better to “get it all on the table” versus waiting until it’s too late.  Many wonder whether signing a prenup is setting them up for divorce.  The answer is, no.  There are some very practical reasons to have one in place.

People are still transfixed by Charlie Sheen.  Some clinical speculation about his behavior has suggested the ravages of drug addiction or an untreated bipolar episode.  While all of this may be true, to me, it looks like unbridled narcissism in full fury.

The go-to definition of narcissism is thinking only of oneself.  However, when you use the word narcissist you are really making a much bigger statement.  A narcissist is not only selfish but actually lacks the ability to think of anyone else.  Most narcissists are masters at turning things around so they’re the ones being wronged, and they make it appear that they are doing you a favor by letting you make it up to them.   They are typically self-righteous and have an exaggerated sense of entitlement that leads them to believe they deserve everything and more.  When they don’t get what they want, they get angry and their rage knows no bounds.
