Re: Women and financial independence
My parents gave me the choice to work or not, and i choose to work as i wanted to see what all the funda about working was. Now I realize that my work has given me direction in life than if i was not working.
These days, people are searching for girls who are working rather than not:(, i dont know why..but 
Financial independence is good, whether you are working or having a business of your own or…
.
Re: Women and financial independence
^ Apart from being able to help out future hubby and not having to rely on anyone I think potential inlaws might see it as a sign that the girl is motivated and has a sense of direction with her life?
How many of you think it's vitally important for a woman to have financial freedom, whether by working, by living off an inheritance or investing in the stock market (though not sure how likely the last one is these days)?**
By the way I am talking about single or married women here. We've had enough discussions about working mothers (who are most likely to be accused of all of the above) vs stay at home mom's and I'd rather not go in that direction again.**
when women work there is no one at home to take care of children. Thats why children start smoking weed. Their mom is playstation.
o paa ji i said i didnt want to focus on working mothers!!
Re: Women and financial independence
I think a woman should be CAPABLE of earning if she needs to. She should be educated and trained to support herself, so that she is not forced to stay in bad situations out of necessity. You should always keep your options open.

Re: Women and financial independence
i am on the fence with this one. Being financially independant is not my major concern. I dont think a marriage should be about this. Many times spouses divide roles and responsibilities. One becomes the bread winner the other a house runner. One doesnt necessarily need to take on two responsibilities in order to feel secure or valued.

I agree with this. Education and skills are important cause you need something to fall back on should worse come to worse.
Re: Women and financial independence
Financial security is very important now adays for women specially if they decide to stay at home. If the decision is not 100% on her own will then life becomes uneasy.
At the initital period child need mothers full time availability. In my opinion if child doesnt get it , it is discrimination with its right.
I dont like the word pocket money for wife. If husband is earning n earning well , it is because of free mind from domestic issues which are taken care by the wife so infact she is contributing equally.
We have a different way. what ever i earn is divided into 3 parts
1 part for domestic expenses( almost all decisions by my wife )
2 part we save or invest ( both give suggestion n we decide after discussion. I have more say however if we can not agree then take decision from our elders)
3 part is for personal expnses which is equally divided between us . What ever i or my wife wish to do with our share is our own choice . we dont ask each other abt it.
I usually spend my share while my wife saves some of it. So u can say my wife is wealther then me though she is always stay home wife.
