There is something beautiful about being able to afford the things you once considered luxuries. The perfume, the outfit, the good food…..the little extras that make life sweeter.
No one wants to hear it but you will have to *work* on everything that is worth having in life.
Your career, your relationships, your health - whatever it is...
So if you don't want to work for it, be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.
One thing I learned from my dad is that real men do not complain about being providers ! They actually love being one ! He set the mf bar. ! That’s why I’ll never accept the bare minimum !
just found another reddit thread of women making 100k-150k and most (minus the ones with 2+ kids) are meeting atleast the 5% 401k contribution and others are maxing out all accts
As you get older as a woman, the things you value in a man start to shift. It’s not really about the finest man, the best dressed, or the one flashing the most money anymore. it’s about the man who’s thoughtful. The one who picks up dinner when he knows it’s been a long day for both of y’all. The helpful man who washes the dishes after you cook & helps fold the clothes without being asked. The man who sees something around the house needs fixing & just handles it. The family man who wants to plan bbq’s at the park, take little adventures, & actually build a life together. The gentle, patient type of man who brings peace instead of chaos. Life really too short to settle for anything less. 🫶🏽
