It is not uncommon to see women around the world and especially in a masculine society like Africa, who 100 percent depend on spouses or partners for their livelihood. This way of life is not sustainable and it should not be encouraged!
In Genesis 2:10-14, it is written that a river in Eden was separated into four rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Chidekel (the Tigris), and Phirat (the Euphrates). And a wise man said, "if the garden of Eden where God and his original creation resided needed 4 river streams to water it, then all humans including women need at least 4 sources of income to live comfortably".
Many would argue that the man is the bread winner and should provide for his family. Whilst this is true, it should be noted that, when God decided to give Eve to Adam, he said “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper as his complement"( Genesis 2:14). He wasn't giving a burden, a child, a dependent or a trouble maker to Adam. God knew that the man needed the woman's help to navigate through life.
Some Shocking Statistics About Women, and Money.
Ms Kim Kiyosaki wrote a book "Rich Woman" in which she made some shocking revelations when it comes to women and money:
At least 47% of women over the age of 50 are single.
Men over 50 around the world are 60% more likely than women to die early.
50% of marriages end in divorce.
In the first year after divorcing, a woman’s standard of living drops an average of 73%.
Of the elderly living in poverty, 3 out of 4 are women and 80% of them were not poor when their husbands were alive.
6 Reasons Why Women Should Earn Their Own Cash.
Contrary to decades ago when women were seen as house wives only, the new generation women are very well educated, professionals, and they participate greatly to the evolution of our society, which can be reflected on an increase in financially independent women. Oprah Winfrey alone is worth $3.5 billion.
There's a misconception that women who make their own money will find it had to coexist with their partners. Women who ask for money to fuel their car, to go to a beauty saloon, to buy their clothes and even their sanitary pads, are setting themselves up to be disrespected some day by their partners.
The woman and the man should be able to meet half way and sort out the economics of the home. The man should not be overwhelmed to the point where he looses his cool. Being able to relief your partner of micro expenses will not only earn you respect and consideration, but will also reduce your partner's stress levels (better health), and foster a happier and longer relationship bond.
2. Fulfill Your Destiny.
Ever heard the saying "what a man can do, a woman can do better". This couldn't be truer!. Women are fantastic multi taskers and besides being a girlfriend, wife, mom, home builder and all that, women can contribute much more to the world. Each one of us were sent here on earth with a solution to an issue mankind is facing aka mission. Women are endowed with natural gifts that can be showcased in engineering, entrepreneurship, activism, political and social leadership. A woman has it all and can do it all. All ambitious women would most probably be passionate about one or two projects which can be financed with their own money without having to convince their partner to believe in them or help fund this passion. Princess Diana is a perfect example of such a woman.n you earn your own money, you are more than capable of achieving your goals and fulfilling your destiny. Earning your own cash simply empowers you!
3. Discipline Your Partner/Spouse.
If you take a keen look at homes where the men are serial cheaters and openly disrespect their partners/wives, it is likely that the woman has little or no economic power. Men often get away with open cheating when they have insignificant respect for the woman. This is prevalent because the man is of the impression that the woman will succumb to this emotional torture and blackmail because he is funding her livelihood. Women who are victims of such a behaviour often have children, and the man will make sure to keep you financially dependent on them to enable their sinister actions. A financially viable woman who can pay her own rent, buy her own car, shop her own clothes, afford her holidays, fund her own dreams and provide for her offspring will surely tame a cheating partner. Being financially handicapped will tie you down to a man who treats you like his house keeper, for the simple fact that you cannot afford to live without him. Generally, men will not mess about with a financially independent partner or wife, for the simple fact that she has no obligation to put up with his mistreatment. Earning your own money as a woman empowers you to walk out the door if you are not unhappy with the status quo.
