"Why do Women need to be financially INDEPENDENT?"

I do not like the social norms before wherein a woman is required to marry and served their husband at home. I'm glad I'm not born in that era.

Being financially independent on the side of his wife can be an advantage but ..by all means and factors ..the husband don't have any right to abuse his wife..whether she's helping the family about money or what..para nang sa ganon ay masaya lahat..

It's good that you talk about this, because it's totally real, it's sad how there are still women who think that their goal in life is to have a man who supports you

Ang Sakit isipin pero marami talagang battered wife ngayon, pero tinitiis lang para sa kanilang mga Anak, mas maganda din talaga na may pinagkikitaan ang mga wife Kahit papaano,

Tinatry ko talaga tong mangyari to be financially independent para kahit anong mangyari I have a savings.

These days, we are no seeing an increase in the number of financially buoyant women and that has given them the much needed respect in marriages. Having your own money as a woman will make you very comfortable because you know that whatever happens in your marriage, you have a failsafe to fall back to

You are not wrong. Like Lee mentioned it is healthy if both are financially independent. I’ve seen many cases when women were stuck in unwanted relationships because they had no ways of supporting themselves. It’s sad to look at

Tama sis dapat talaga mas maganda na may sariling pera tayong mga babae. Ako kahit nasa bahay ako ay may ibang pinagkakakitaan sis.

This is me sis, I have my own secret money, but not because I want but my purpose is for my baby needs, and my partner is so bulagsak sa pera, he never thinks of tomorrow.

I beg to disagree, hahaha! It really depends if you have kids sis, macocompromise kasi yung relationship mo with your kids. Kaya between hubby and I pinag usapan talaga namin ng bongga kasi kakaregular ko lang nung nabuntis ako nun so mejo hesitant ako magresign. He promised to take care of everything. It was a good decision kasi di man nya madalas kasama mga bata confident sya na andito ako to take care of them. Aanhin mo yung pera if di naman maganda relationship mo with your kids. Ayan napahaba tuloy. Hahaha! Pero of course di ako kontra sa working mother, I actually admire them because I know it is harder for them too, meanwhile being a full time mother, one thing I could say no regrets at all:)

Women should find ways also on how to support their family by having their own income that would somehow shoulder other expenses. I think it's not the reason why women should be finally independent because of the loss of her husband but to support her family. That's my opinion lang po. God bless

This could be an eyeing in this reality. I agree sis that with this generation both of the couple should already knows how to strive working for the better future not just about the future as well as emotionally and financially stable.

Indeed sis, I also believe that a woman should be financially independent. I'm a woman who don't like to relay on my partner's money and so for me no matter what would be the reason why a woman should have her own money, I would definitely agree with that. I mean, we should also learn how to work, not because we're a woman we should just stay inside and do nothing but being a plain wife, it sounds boring.

To me relationships should use shared/joint bank accounts. Is having secret money not just cheating on your partner as well, just in a different way?
