The day starts with all of us, busy in work from morning to evening, with sonething to gain at the end of the day. No matter what you earn, all that matters is at end of the day you have something to take with you. I am talking about the income and happiness that we deserve.

The day is relaxing if we complete our job successfully but haunts us when left uncompleted. Now, let me put on the sex indifference in this subject.

Financial Independence and Freedom - Iam not sure how many of us are lucky to spend our own hard earned money as we desire. Despite the struggle in making money, in many cases, one has not got rhe liberty to spend the money as they wish. I particularly focus this part for females, who work under family pressure and job pressure.

When two members in a family are working and when two of them get along planning the future, things have a safe and sound ending. On the contrary, if both husband and wife are working where the husband demands even the wife's salary despite he earning a heavy package, where is the financial independence for the lady.

Men work to meet the ends. Apart from family he has many other things to cover like Insurance, Rent, Bills etc.....a never endless list. But a woman focus more on her family and parents. She works just for the happiness of her family.

There is a famous mentalist Nivin Niravath based in Kerala, South India. I happened to see in one of his videos the true story of a woman who was refused financial freedom despite her earnings more than her husband.

To say her story in precise, she came from a poor family. In her school days, she was a bright student. Her father took all the initiative to give her the best education. She wanted to pursue her career as a Nurse abroad, after her schooling, but that will cost a huge amount.

She being a bright student, her father promised to pursue her wish and asked her to farewell with high marks in her forthcoming exams. But she knew it would remain a dream as they do not have enough financial stability.

She succeeded in the exams with excellent marks . As promised her father pledged the ancestral property and arranged the money for her travel abroad to study abroad. After completing nursing she decided to take up a job abroad. She was well paid for her profession.

Finally she returned back to India and got married to a man through a matrimonial ad. In the beginning everything went on fine. His salary was comparatively less to that of the Nurse. They had two children.

Her main aim was to get the pledged land and to help her parents and brothers education financially. So everymonth a part of the income was sent to her parents and this became a main reason for fight at the end of every month which disturthe little children very badly.

Finally she took a bold decision to let go the relationship. Her parents were totally against this relationship. But she has no other choice. She divorced him and the children are quite happy now.

If you don't have the financial freedom then why leave in such an estranged relationship. You are the owner of your decisions. Make your life more easier by removing the disturbing stress.

This is so true. My aunt is actually married to an Indian man and they always argue about money as they don't agree much on how it is used. My aunt sends a lot of money home for my grandma but her husband does not like it causing so much fighting. One time she asked him why he is so angry it is her own money she is spending and they ended up not talking for a week.

Yeah now they are actually living in separate households as they cannot get along. To be honest I think they should just separate but I think she thinks of her daughter.

Financial independence is what we all aim for I believe. We really have to think twice and many times before entering a relationship and growing a family.

Indeed, individually financial independence supports us a lot. Here in India in most places we cant expect this, dear friend.
