@anxiouslyalej: A man is not a financial plan. I will say this until the day I die: your independence is your protection. money doesn’t just buy you options, it buys you freedom. It buys you the ability to choose your partner instead of having to settle for survival. Yes, I believe a man should provide. Yes, I believe in being taken care of. But what someone else brings to the table cannot be the only thing you have to eat. Because when you give someone the power to feed you, you also give them the power to starve you. And too many women learn this lesson the hard way. I’ve seen women stay in relationships that crushed their spirit because they didn’t have the financial means to leave. I’ve seen women tolerate disrespect, cheating, even abuse—all because they didn’t have a savings account or a career to fall back on. Think about it this way: if your job was your only source of income and your boss crossed a line, would you feel free to walk away? Probably not. Dependence makes you silent. And silence keeps you stuck. That’s why financial independence is not just about money - it’s about power. It’s about being able to say: ✨ “I love you, but I don’t need you to survive.” ✨ “I’m here because I want to be, not because I have to be.” ✨ “Leaving is always an option if respect ever leaves the table.” The happiest women I know - including myself - are in healthy relationships because we chose our partners, we didn’t settle for them. Our livelihood didn’t depend on it. So yes, chase the degree. Build the business. Grow your investments. Stack your savings. Because when you have your own money, you never have to stay where you’re not valued. She’s 30 and single? No. She’s educated. She’s independent. She’s powerful. And that is exactly why the right man will respect her. 💼 Money first. ❤️ Men second. #feminineenergy #womensdatingadvice #blackcatenergy #datingforwomen #relationships
