Financial independence is paramount. My mom always says that when a woman is financially independent, she has the ability to live life on her own terms. I think that was the soundest advice that I ever got. No matter where you go in life or who you get married to, you have to be financially independent — whether you use it or not. -Priyanka Chopra
There is so much that most of us want in life and when the means become easy to reach the end, there is no looking back. Till something hard hits, you and teaches you that unforgettable lesson!
Time and again people talk about how it is important for women to manage their finances after they are married. I often reflect on this paradox and feel sad at the utter fallacy of it. What’s the point of stressing on something when the damage is already done? Marriage is not the damage I am referring to, but the time wasted on not being financially independent before marriage is detrimental. If women must learn how to manage their finances, it has to be way before they are married or not.
One just doesn’t know the situation one will be faced with after marriage. Even though you marry someone you know or into a family that is known to your family, you still are unaware of what the future holds for you. And need I mention the gory stories we have all heard of the girl next door who has stars in her eyes, gets married and was left stranded.
