Women, Your Finances Are Your Responsibility
The burning question I have is why do so many women neglect their financial lives? Is it fear? Is it lack of interest? Do you assume that someone else will handle this? If so, why do you believe that your financial life is someone else’s responsibility?
I believe that one of the reasons more of you don’t take control is that there is very little peer pressure to do so. So here it is: I, your concerned sister, hereby strongly encourage you to be financially educated and independent!
I hear you say enlightened things like, “No man can tell me what to do!” Well, if a man buys you new boobs or pays your rent, he may have good reason to think he has some input into the decisions you make. I don’t know why you don’t see that if you treat a man like your human wallet, then you can bet he will feel as though he has purchased your freedom. Wouldn’t it be easier to focus your energy on your career instead of manipulating money out of men?
In Simple English:
» the burning question = an important question that must be answered quickly
» peer pressure = the strong influence of a group on members of that group to behave as everyone else does
