Economically independent women in marriage have a more stable family status

Have you noticed that the women around you who live particularly well in marriage often have one thing in common - they carry confidence in their wallets. When discussing the topic of "who is in charge of the money at home" during a gathering with girlfriends, those girls who earn money and spend it themselves even smile more calmly than others. Economic independence is like an invisible armor in marriage, there is no need to deliberately emphasize a sense of existence, but it can always firmly hold the right to choose in life at critical moments.

1. Economic independence reshapes family discourse

1. Financial freedom brings decision-making freedom

When mortgage bills and parenting expenses are no longer completely dependent on partners, decisions such as which restaurant to go to on weekends and which school to attend for children will naturally form negotiation mechanisms. Data shows that 74% of major expenses in dual income families need to be discussed together, while this proportion is only 36% for single income families.

2. Consumer choices reflect personal value

There is no need to judge one's complexion just to buy a set of luxury skincare products, and there is no need to be cautious when giving red envelopes to parents. Spending the money earned by oneself with confidence will naturally make your partner adjust their attitude towards you. Just like the 38 yuan latte in a coffee shop, it always tastes better when you pay for it yourself.

2. Economic ability is the trump card to deal with risks

1. Stay calm in case of emergencies

Elderly people suddenly need to pay a deposit when hospitalized, and children need to pay additional fees for summer camps. When these unexpected expenses come, they can immediately mobilize their financial reserves, which is far more dignified than asking for money at the last minute. The number of deposit balance, to some extent, reflects the speed of response to life.

2. There is a way out in case of marital upheaval

Although no one wants to separate when they get married, the "Fuckyoumoney" always kept in the account can indeed give people the courage to turn around and leave when they encounter betrayal or cold violence. This is not pessimism, but a risk plan that adults should have.

3. independent income promotes equal relationships

1. More reasonable division of household chores

When the economic contributions of both sides are similar, the war of "who washes the dishes and who mopps the floor" will naturally cool down. Economically independent women are often better at using outsourcing services to solve household conflicts. It is much easier to share the cost of hiring a cleaning lady than to argue about who should take out the garbage.

2. Growing together and maintaining attractiveness

Continuous work ability and social circle can avoid becoming a "full-time housewife who only talks about food prices". The fresh topics and problem-solving skills brought by the workplace can actually become preservatives in marriage. Those who complain that their partners only use their phones when they go home are mostly the result of the significant difference in their living radius.

Of course, economic independence does not mean a stingy AA system, nor is it about winning or losing in marriage. True independence is having the confidence of 'I can rely on you, but I don't need to rely on you'. Next time you receive your salary, why not schedule the baking class you've always wanted to take - the best investment in marriage is always to become a shining self first.
