Show notes

Would you leave your marriage if there were no financial consequences? We surveyed people entering the last third of their lives, and the answer surprised even us: over one in four women said they’d seriously consider divorce, compared to just over one in ten men.

Terry Prone and Fergus Finlay are joined by Valerie Cox to ask why. They discuss temptation, duty, and the real price of doing the laundry.
