The reality about being economically dependent on someone else usually doesn't work out for women in the end. It's about being an adult and being responsible for your life. Most women have to work, so let's just get on with it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the end, the women can be very rebellious, and very capable and all of that, but if she depends on a man economically, she has few possibilities.
Women are living independently, but we don't yet have the social and economic policies behind us to support that independence.
As long as women are in the work force making their own money and decisions, men are going to have to realize that this way of life is here to stay - because it takes two incomes to make it and more now. The sooner you address your style of saving and spending with your mate the better off your relationship will be.
Most families rely on two incomes to make ends meet, and when a woman earns less, we put working families at a huge disadvantage.
Women continue receiving less salary for the same kind of job. Women have a higher unemployment rate in our country. When you analyze the composition of poverty, you will find that most of the families in poverty are being run by a woman.
If a woman did not work and have the opportunity to save and invest on her own throughout her lifetime, she is often totally reliant on her family and Social Security for her retirement years.
Because there still exists a significant pay gap, women tend to earn less than men over the course of their lifetimes. Compounding the problem, women tend to spend less time in the workforce than men.
For women especially, it's important to be financially independent.
So many women are financially dependent on men. So why can't men be dependent on women? I'm totally okay with it.
We know what happens when a woman earns money. She is far more likely than a man to spend her earnings on the health and education of her children and to invest in improving her family's standard of living.
