SHOW NOTES: This episode is part of our FINANCIAL FIERCENESS!™ series! Our FINANCIAL FIERCENESS!™ series integrates our financial goals into our overall strategic development plan for surpassing our goals. In this episode we are examining the issue of , “Always have the ability to support yourself financially! Here's why.”
Being an adult is awesome! Our episode today focuses on a serious
outcome where an adult is treated like a child and disrespected,
controlled or even abused.How
could it occur that a capable adult would be told what to wear,
where to live, what to eat, who to be friends with, etc.? It is
often the result of an adult ceding financial independence to
another adult.
When an adult is financially “dependent” on another
adult (their
parents, other relatives, friends, romantic partners or anyone
else), an
unhealthy individual can exploit that and engage in controlling
and/ or abusive behaviors. The
ability to know that we can support ourselves financially frees us
of any of these potential negative outcomes.When we support
ourselves (either in actuality or we have done so in the past and
maintain the ability to do so if needed in the future), we are
free to enter into and nurture healthy, supportive, enriching
relationships!
When a person “stays” in a job, marriage, friendship or family
relationship simply out of the desire for money, everyone
loses. Also,
even the most stable lives can be toppled by death, illness,
disability, natural disaster, war, etc., so it is important that we
all ensure that we have a back-up plan for supporting ourselves
financially as we never know when we may need to do so. Let’s
discuss!
