Financial planning is advised around prenups In the season of June weddings, advisers say it's good to consider prenups. Financial expert Rachel Cruze, echoing sentiments from advisors like Suze Orman, emphasizes that love can cloud practical thinking, but marriage is as much an economic partnership as a romantic one. In 2025, the U.S. divorce rate hovers around 40-45 percent for first marriages, with second and third marriages failing at rates of 60 percent and 73 percent, respectively, according to the CDC's National Marriage and Divorce Rate Trends.

Letter: Renovations on the Square Ann Pearson writes: They have a sign up that asks that trucks swing wide on the Square due to workers but why can't we just keep these big trucks off the Square all together? I mean they can use the bypass and it's less of a hassle for them than trying to navigate that Square and it makes it easier for cars. They tear things up on the Square and make it difficult to know where they are going, turning or just swinging wide.Comments re: Next courthouse renovations underway 2025-06-24 08:42:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
