I was cruising the personal finance news this morning and came across a great story on Tim and Edra Blixseth. The story with Tim and Edra is that they have a LOT of money, but decided to divorce without getting the courts involved.
According to the story, they sat down one afternoon in a hotel room and divided up their property. Tim kept the real estate business, Edra got the 420 acre estate and the dogs. The interesting thing about this is that they managed to split up without acrimony. Its especially remarkable in light of the fact that they have a LOT to fight over.
Given that my wife and I had a couple of very tense moments in drawing up our prenuptial agreement, I give Tim and Edra a lot of credit for splitting up without a court battle.
Best,
James

We've both been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've both successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!
