Otherwise brilliant women too often trust a man, a company or the government to plan for their financial future. Today’s reality? Women are in charge of their financial future.
Kim Kiyosaki is the anther of “Rich Woman”, she says some women do stupid things when it comes to money – including marring for money and taking advice from “experts” because we don’t think we’re smart enough.
Stupid things some women do when it comes to money.
-we marry for money
-we stay in bad marriages or relationship because we’re afraid we can’t make it financially on our own.
-we let a man make all of our key financial decisions
-we accept the myth that men are better with money and better at investing
-we won’t challenge a man’s financial decisions because we don’t want to rock the boat and hurt his ego.
-we take financial advice supposed “experts” be cause we don’t think we’re smart enough.
-we hang on too long because (at least financially) we’re “comfortable”
-we keep quiet to keep the peace
-we hope the man will change
-we settle for” OK” in life when what we really want is “great”
-we stay to long-only to be left behind for younger women
-A man is lost but won’t ask directions- and we follow him.
-we sell ourselves short
-we put up with inequalities on the job-for a paycheck
-we feel quality working extra hours and not being with our kids
-we get passed over from a promotion we diverse and stay
-we accept less pay then our male counterparts and often end up doing their work
-we miss our kids soccer games and recitals because we have to work
-we often look into the future and think “someday”
Most of up have done one or more of these stupid things. The bottom line is that many of us sell our souls in the name of money. The real crime is the toll it takes on our self-esteem, our confidence and our self-worth.
