I decided to touch upon the topic of the family budget that is exciting for everyone. From childhood I was taught that a man is a breadwinner and a woman is responsible for housekeeping. However, now in our society everything is completely different. Women earn on an equal basis with men, or even more. I am insanely happy for such ladies, but I still think that a woman should not invest equally with a man in the family budget.
This is the most common mistake many women make who have just gotten married. Why exactly a mistake? Yes, because even if at the beginning of a relationship everything is just perfect, then very serious problems can begin. And I decided to talk about this today. What's so terrible about investing on an equal footing? Read on!
Family budgeting
The couple in love decided to get married. They went to this for a long time, and now the time has come when they finally decided that they were born for each other. At first, everything is just perfect. Both work, invest equally in the budget, discuss their spending, plan purchases. In addition, the couple thinks about having children, planning begins, and here it is, the long-awaited pregnancy.
She continues to work, and then goes on maternity leave. And that's it! She stops earning money, gives birth to a child, and all her strength goes to him and the household. And what about the husband? And he begins to be indignant that there is not enough money, is angry with his wife, breaks down every day. He starts spending some of his own, without the knowledge of his wife. There are scandals at home, she presents him with expenses, he replies that this is his money, and he can spend it on whatever he pleases.
The man begins to insist that his wife go to work faster. And this becomes a very unpleasant discovery for a woman. The feeling of reliability and trust disappears. In fact, everything, the relationship is over. It seems that there was no love here either. How do you like this scenario?
Many couples are faced with this. Therefore, I do not recommend women to invest in half with their men in the budget. It is a very unpleasant feeling when you are left without money, when you cannot earn money and you know that they will begin to reproach you with a piece of bread.
So how do you budget properly?
As we already understood, sometimes men who invested equally in the family budget with women came to the conclusion that they could not take full financial responsibility for their spouses and children.
Therefore, you need to think over everything from the very beginning of the relationship. Girls, do not be afraid to put your chosen one immediately before the fact that one day you will have to "sit" on his neck. Understanding everything initially, a man will try harder so as not to fail later in a difficult life period.
Although women are now fighting for equality, it is time to admit that the main earner in the family is a man. No, a woman can also easily earn money for herself, remain independent, help her spouse financially, but not take on half of all expenses. And a man should be prepared for the fact that in the first 2-3 years after the birth of a child, a woman will not be able to be a breadwinner.
And what if a man is already used to investing only 50%? Then just sit down and discuss everything sensibly. Either be prepared for the fact that you will continue to have to participate equally in the budget, or agree that everything is on the shoulders of a man while you have a small child.
How do you manage your family budget? Do you agree with my opinion or think it is incorrect? I look forward to your comments!
