sкчscrαρεr™:
ßeiηg fiηancially iη∂epen∂ent is oηe thiηg, ßeiηg fiηancially seηsible is αησther thiηg. . . most la∂ies woυld rather spend money on make-ups and other inconsistential ornaments rather than invest in a business or support the family. to some married women, the man's money is everybody's money while their money is for them alone. it's funny how a financially stable woman still expects her husband to always give her pocket money daily.


some of the women that exhibit there attribute owns big shops, supermarket etc.. also, these businesses were opened by the husbands.

the question is...


"what do they use the money they earn for?"


---------------
a guy will send his girlfriend airtime of N500 and she will still flash the guy to say 'thank you.'


we all talk about gender equality, yet you ask your girlfriend out on a tryst and she will come along with her friends without your fore-knowledge, demands above your capacity and puts you in trouble. the annoying part is the way she'll ask you to settle the bills like you own her money.

funny enough, you board a shuttle with your girl and when you guys alight from the bus she expects you to clear the bills.


the list goes on and on. . . we keep asking ourselves, what do ladies do with the money they earn, it's high time girls learn to be financially independent. reason is when they do so, men will respect them more, she won't look like a burden to him, and he won't take you for granted et all!!

..
All izz well
♍A̶̲̥̅ dear ladies r becoming wise dis days so its a matter of tym everythn will fall into place. Let's keep on waitn n ho

Actually, it's not true. A financially independent woman has a higher tendency to sleep around. Statistically proven!
i don't know abt ur statistics,but what you said is right, a financially independent woman has a higher tendency to sleep around.
I have so more than five live examples and experiences...i know a top official,a woman, in a bank now that sleeps around!
#btw,i fully support it that a woman should be oky financially!

I totally support Women being financially independent. Ever since my dad passed on, i have been saddled with the responsibility of doing everything for my family, had my mum been financially independent, Life would have been somewhat easier... it hurts me sometimes to have worked for abt 4 yrs and i have nothing to show for my self.

Please if u are a woman reading this... If u are married please live life as though your husband is no more. if u are single, turst me it does add to your credentials of being marriageable. haven experienced it myself, i would not make the mistake my dad made. As a rule of thumb i dont even date gurls that are not working or business savvy

You are wise enough to learn from your parents' mistakes. If everyone did it, we would have developed further faster. My best wishes to you and God bless you!

Why do you people keep repeating this lie? Independent women do not have tendency to sleep around please and a promiscuous woman will be promiscuous whether or not she is independent.
Stop trying to tarnish the image of women who are working hard to make something of their lives okay?

nayef: Let's not kid ourselves, on average..the more financially independent women become, the higher their insolence. Its good for women and the society in all ramifications. But, it reduces men's leverage on women terribly!
What leverage do you want to have over a female u call ur wife?. Just pray to find a lady with a GOOD CHARACTER and not a feminist.

Plumkin: No one talks bout dependent men, yet they exist undecided

That's the trend these days. Men now look up to their wives. They even hoard their earnings. Do a little research and see for yourselves!

When a woman is financially ok she settles emergencies in the absence of oga at the top.A woman is a home.My husband will always say a man is the head of the fam but a woman is the head of the home.Remember the home is where the heart is.

"too much financial independence results in feministic tendencies", "women should be financially independent so that they can be respected"

damned if u do, dammed if u don't. guys which way na? lol......

@topic; women! you're a lot more than just a pretty face and a nice *ass. you've got potential (plenty) and u should explore all of it. life is a whole lot more than getting an education and clinging to a man as a life support thereon.

however, with financial independence just like every other status in life, comes dignity, respect and humility. if u respect yourself, u'll never disrespect other people (unreasonably) talk more your "better half".

Gold-digging has been a cankerworm to the success of relationships and marriages.

This should spell an end to aristotle, runs and gold-digging.

...... The other side of the coin. A man has ego. Any man who derives joy collecting money without providing for his lady is LAZY . when a woman is financially independent, the power shifts from the man to the woman becoz he can't meet her need . She's not feeling the man he said he is. she's doing everything for herself, why won't she take decisions.. She's her own man. Be careful of what you guys ask for..........

I can't imagine myself collecting money from my gf without providing for her the finest things of life. Let alone being financially dependent on my wife. Men who do that are social pariahs and should be thrown out of society.

Methink once you're financially independent you don't need to hang the spectre of your financial responsibilities around his neck. Since you've your money i don't think there is anything else you need than to complement his earnings when it comes to household expenses.

But you know that paying bride price is not in the Bible.
It's not a christian thing to do and it's origins is in pagan religions.
Bearing of husbands' names is also not in the Bible smiley
