Insights from a Certified Money Coach:
Stop Waiting for "The One"—Why You Don’t Need a Partner to Achieve Financial Freedom 💸
Alright, let’s get real for a second.
How many times have you heard some version of this advice: "Just find a good husband, and you’ll be set for life!"? 🙄
From fairy tales to family dinners, it’s the same old story: marriage = financial security.
But here’s the truth bomb 💣:
You do NOT need a partner to feel financially secure.
Yep, I said it. And I know some of you might be rolling your eyes or thinking, "But maybe it would be easier if I had someone to split the bills with..." Trust me, I get it. Society has drilled this idea into us for decades. But hanging onto this outdated belief? It’s holding you back.
It’s time to flip the script. Let’s dive into why financial freedom is 100% something YOU can build—no partner required.
The Big Fat Myth: Marriage = Financial Stability 🕊️💰
For so long, we’ve been fed this idea that tying the knot is the ultimate financial safety net. And while it might sound comforting, let’s be real—it’s not always true. Here’s why:
1. Marriage Doesn’t Guarantee Stability
Sure, two incomes can be helpful, but let’s not pretend marriage magically solves financial problems.
Divorce is a thing. A BIG thing. And it can leave women scrambling to rebuild their finances.
Even in a happy marriage, life throws curveballs—job losses, debt, or completely mismatched money habits (hello, financial stress).
Marriage isn’t a golden ticket to stability; it’s just... marriage.
2. Dependency = Risky Business
Relying on someone else for your financial future? That’s like building a house on sand. If the relationship crumbles or something unexpected happens (loss, divorce, you name it), you could find yourself in a tough spot.
Taking control of your money = taking back your power. 💪
3. Not Everyone Wants to Get Married (And That’s OK!)
Let’s normalise this: not all women want a partner. And some are still waiting for the right one (or wondering if they even need "the right one"). But here’s the kicker—you don’t need a ring on your finger to build a life you love.
Financial freedom isn’t about finding "The One." It’s about becoming your own one.
The Reality Check: You Are Your Best Financial Plan 🌱
I know what you might be thinking: "Okay, but how do I even start?"
First, let me say this—you’re not alone if you’ve ever wished for someone to swoop in and make your money worries disappear. But the truth is, waiting around for a financial white knight is like waiting for rain in the desert. 🌵
The good news? You’ve got everything you need within you to create financial independence. YES, YOU. Here’s how women everywhere are doing it:
Starting businesses and building their own empires 🏢
Investing in property, shares, and retirement funds 📈
Getting savvy about budgeting and money management 💡
Single women are out here thriving, creating wealth on their own terms. And guess what? You can too.
5 Steps to Build Wealth Solo (No Prince Required) 👑
Feeling inspired? Here’s how to get started:
1. Know Your Numbers
Time for some tough love: do you really know what’s happening with your money?
What’s coming in vs. going out every month?
How much debt do you have, and what’s your pay-off plan?
How’s your savings looking? Investments? Emergency fund?
Understanding your financial situation might feel overwhelming at first, but trust me—it’s so empowering.
2. Invest in You 🌟
You are your greatest asset. Want to earn more? Start here:
Take a course. Learn about investing, budgeting, or starting a side hustle.
Consider furthering your education if it’ll boost your earning potential.
Build skills that can open new doors.
Every step you take to grow your knowledge builds your confidence and your bank account.
3. Build Your Safety Net
Let’s talk about the uncool but essential stuff: an emergency fund. 🛟
Aim to save 3-6 months of living expenses in a rainy-day account. Because trust me, when life throws a surprise bill at you, you’ll be so glad you’ve got that cushion.
4. Start Investing—Even If It’s Tiny
You don’t need to be rolling in cash to invest. Even small amounts can grow over time. 🌱
Open a retirement account or contribute more to the one you have.
Try index funds or ETFs (they’re like the "set and forget" of investing).
Dip your toes into real estate—there are options like rental properties or REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) if buying a house feels too big right now.
Consistency is the magic sauce here.
5. Dream Big and Plan Bigger
What does financial freedom actually look like for you?
Travelling more? ✈️
Owning your dream home? 🏡
Retiring early? 🌅
Write it all down. Create a roadmap. When you’ve got a clear vision, those big dreams don’t feel so far away.
Rewrite Your Money Story 💖
For too long, women have been told that their financial future depends on someone else. But it’s time to call BS on that.
Here’s the truth: the most secure, abundant, and fulfilling life isn’t handed to you by a partner. It’s BUILT by you.
So, let’s stop waiting and start thriving.
