Why Women Should Be Financially Independent

Being financially independent is excellent
for everyone.
Each of us, can make a small or big effort
to earn money and stand on our own feet.
The benefits go beyond the economic
reasons. It is good for women and the
whole society.
Some of these benefits include:
1. Financially independent women take
their own decisions.
When women are dependent upon others
for money, they might need to take
permission from them. Some women
might be happy to do that while others
need to be more independent and take
their own decisions.
2. Financially independent women are
good financial backups for family.
In times of financial crisis, when many
people lose jobs, it is good when both
partners are earning income. When
one loses job, other still has income to
support the family and fill the gap. In terms
of health, if one partner is sick, he or she
can take time off and take good rest and
recover properly. Finally, in case of
unexpected death of family
member, the other person can still handle
the family expenses.
3. Financially independent women
contribute financially to the family.
When the inflation is up, prices are
skyrocketing, if both partners are working,
it is easier to own a home and meet family
expenses.
4. Financially independent women
contribute financially to the society and
economy.
When women earn money, they can be
financially givers to society. They can give
to charities and help in social causes. They
also boost country's economy and GDP by
earning actively.
5. Financially independent women
motivate children to stand on their own
feet.
When children see that mother is earning
money, they are motivated to stand on their
own feet. They see good work ethic in their
own home and want to follow it.
6. Financially independent women can
follow their dreams.
We all dream but sometimes when we
don't have money, we need to adjust to
what we have and be content. Women who
earn money tend to follow their dreams
which could be a social cause or a big car.
7. Personal independence boosts your
confidence
Independent people naturally tend to be a
little more confident on handling issues
affecting their lives. This is mainly because
they are more prepared to take actions and
do things without having to wait for
support or permission from someone else.
Being independent therefore means that
you will be more likely to try out new things
that you want, rather than what or how you
are expected to. This also means that you
will have more experience than a less
independent individual. This will in time
build up more confidence in you with the
knowledge
that you can do things on your own. For
entrepreneurs, this confidence opens
yourmind to taking bigger risks and
unbeaten paths that eventually returns
bigger rewards.
8. Personal improvement and creativity
Having a free and independent mind gives
you
freedom to explore your skills and talents
and will ultimately bring out the best in
you.
9. Self-value and self-esteem
Independence can help increase your self-
value and self-esteem, more so if becoming
independent is one of your goals. The
achievement of financial, emotional, social,
career and personal independence gives
you a sense of accomplishment that
eventually changes how you rate yourself
and how others view you.
The increased self-worth that comes with
this independence is a great booster to
your self-esteem and personal success.
