Lessons my Mom taught me – Part 15 of 23

Make sure you make your own money because your brothers have support. You don’t.

If you could hear the amount of times my late Mom drilled this into me until it was carved into my bones.

And she didn’t just do it with me.

She did the same to ALL women.

As protection!

She knew what it felt like to be dependent for money, having to ask for it.

Every. Single. Time.

It is tiring.

It chips away at your dignity and you start feeling small, powerless and unworthy.

She did not want that for me.

I knew what that felt like too because money seemed to be the controlling factor of whether we were valued or not. You cannot order a drink. You cannot have a driving license.

We were not poor.

It did not feel like unconditional love (not that money equates love at all but we did not even get time, like most kids my era didn’t ….. although if you go up the spiritual ladder, you will eventually learn otherwise!).

And because I did not get any certainty with love and time, the kind you’re supposed to grow up with, MAKE MONEY I DID.

I made a promise to myself that I would never let money be the reason for me to feel weak or helpless. And I kept that promise.

Mom used to teach women how to keep their money, invest their money, make their own money, OWN their money; because people could use money as a weapon.

It must be awful to be a woman who stays in an unhappy environment with no money when all you want to do is run.

Watching these women in financial knots, I knew very early on that I was never going to end up as a woman DEPENDENT ON SOMEONE else, for money. Not like them.

So I turned the tables to retire my husband instead. With absolutely no regrets.
