Definition of A Financially Independent Woman

There is nothing more attractive and empowering than a woman who has her shit together when it comes to her finances.

Independence is a gift that not everyone experiences in their lives — especially women. Throughout the centuries, many women have been misguided into believing that it is natural and OKAY to financially depend on others (e.g. parents, spouses, partners, etc.), but I am not sure why. Not being financially independent partially incapacitates one’s freedom. If you remain dependent on others you will never truly be the leading driver of your life; furthermore, you will not be calling the shots, and you will remain a dependent leech on others’ finances.

A financially independent woman has the following characteristics (plus more):

1. She has her own car (if she needs one) and can afford the maintenance bills for it.
