Financial Independence for Women - Where to Start?
Your Own Account is Essential
Regardless of your relationship status, you must have your own money. It is your safety cushion.
The 50/30/20 Rule
- 50% Needs (Rent, Food).
- 30% Wants (Outings, Clothes).
- 20% Savings/Investments (The Freedom Fund).
Education
The best investment is You. Language courses, professional training. Beauty fades, competence stays.
Don’t be afraid to talk about money
It’s not a taboo subject. Negotiate a raise at work. Establish clear financial rules in a relationship. A financially aware woman is a strong woman.
