A woman should have her backup money in a relationship. I am a huge fan of a happily married couple having joint assets. However, you can have a loving financial partnership and still maintain financial security as a woman, in order to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstances.
Financial security can be achieved in various ways:
- Cash in the bank
- Passive income investments (aka side hustle)
- Life insurance coverage
- Fixed assets
- Business partnerships
- Constantly updating your skills and education.
It is my belief that in the event a woman loses her partner through natural causes or otherwise, having at least three of the above categories or assets would protect her and give her a financial peace of mind.
Today, the queens and I discussed this topic. They all had a very interesting perspective. Before you watch the video below. Checkout their bios and follow us all on social.
