As I am 'extablished' and expect any man I am with would also be so I feel it is only right to sign one. It doesn't matter to me who has the most property, but they surely have the right to leave a relationship (high divorce rates..NOT negativity) with what they had when they entered it if there is a huge discrepancy. Whatever was earned when you are together should be shared.

IMHO
I kind of agree with what you are saying, except I would also want to leave with my whole and entire pension benefits, stocks and their income and my precious metals inventory.... as well as all of my guns, reloading equipment and armor.... because they were earned before the relationship.
If either one of us are wealthy at the time, I would sign it without a second thought.
If we're not wealthy, and one of us wins the lottery in the future, it could be to my advantage if it's written properly. I would have an attorney make sure of that.

If you care to read it again, what I said was....
“they surely have the right to leave a relationship (high divorce rates..NOT negativity) with what they had when they entered it....... IMHO”

Does that not cover what you just said as well???
Well, I think, yes and no. Some here in the usa consider pensions new and ongoing earned income and others dont. If considered as "earned" it is also considered part of present day lifestyle making it a possible target for alimony. I think I should have used "especially" in my post.

Here we have superannuation, and every worker has it. You can receive it as a lump sum or as a pension on retirement. It is considered joint marital property in a divorce...the same as the home, investments etc.
I feel that if a person marries some-one who already has a great deal of property, then it is intelligent to have pre-nups.
I know from experience, that the person you enter a relationship with is definitely not the person you part from years later!

I just learned yesterday that the contribution your employer makes to an employees medical insurance is now taxable.

OMG ! You are kidding! Right? My pension system currently pays 100% of my healthcare premium! I hope this tax doesn't apply to us pensioners. Will medicaide as well as medicare people also have to pay this new tax to. This must be part of how obama care is paid for!

Not kidding.
I was emailing my daughter that I was thinking about having taxes come out of my Social Security cause last year I had to pay quite a bit to the IRS cause I didn’t have enough taxes taken out of my unemployment. My unemployment ended last May so I was afraid I was going to have to pay again for 2012 but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that I’m getting a refund.
This is her exact quote “They’re going to tax what your employer pays for your medical insurance as untaxed income”. I don’t know if they will be taxing Medicare payments.

Well if they don't tax actual federal healthcare medicare premiums they shouldn't be taxing my state pension paid healthcare premiums either ....
sorry OP, here's the the most recent information I find on this employer sponsored healthcare issue:
Half Of Americans Would See Their Taxes Go Up If This Obamacare Tax Hike Is Implemented By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR 12/25/12 12:09 PM ET EST

WASHINGTON — New taxes are coming Jan. 1 to help finance President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. Most people may not notice. But they will pay attention if Congress decides to start taxing employer-sponsored health insurance, one option in play if lawmakers can ever agree on a budget deal to reduce federal deficits.

Texas retired teachers pay over $300.00 monthly for health insurance.

Relax. For now, anyway. The amount of your insurance premium is not taxable, regardless of where it comes from, in part, or in whole. For instance, let's say you gross 2,000.00 in a month. Your total health premium is 500.00. Your employer pays half and you pay half. You are only taxed on 1,750.00 as income. If you were to pay the full 500.00, you would only be taxed on 1,500.00 as income. Accountants working for payroll deduct the non-taxable premium amounts before figuring the net. This is in the employees' favor.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have a problem with this as I don't have anything to hide, I don't have a hidden agenda and I am not interested in anyone's money, assets or titles, etc.
However, call me old-fashioned... I would have serious doubts as to whether my hubby-to-be fully understood me, trusted me and who should be more interested in a mutual, jointly-ventured and equal relationship than what I was to gain should we part. I believe in looking to the future, of course, but not with a view that we may part and who's is who's and what belongs where.
freesparrow: Texas retired teachers pay over $300.00 monthly for health insurance.
Hi, freesparrow.
Retired teachers here, with more than 10-years service, pay nothing towards their health care premium until they turn 65 and on medicare. Their contribution amount may be changing too though, as other state retirees are now paying more
State teacher retirees here have had the best pension of any other public employee in Ohio. At one time their pension alone was spread equally over 12 monthly payments but they also received a 13th check (direct deposit) equalling one of the original twelve. Go figure.
