A Love Letter to My Daughters and All Daughters….
Dear Daughter,
I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. I’m writing to you today about something that’s close to my heart and I believe essential for your future – financial independence.My darling, you are a strong, intelligent, and capable woman. You have the power to shape your own destiny and stand on your own two feet. Financial independence is not just about having money. My dearest daughter, it’s about having control over your life, making your own decisions, and not being dependent on anyone else.
In my life, I’ve learned that being financially independent can be challenging, but it’s also empowering. It’s about knowing what’s in your bank account, understanding how to manage your expenses, and making informed decisions about your investments. It’s about being the CFO of your own life.
I want you to know that it’s okay to ask for help, to seek advice, and to learn. Don’t ever feel ashamed or afraid to admit that you don’t know something. Knowledge is power, and the more you learn, the stronger you become.
Just a Reminder…
Remember, my love, that being financially independent doesn’t mean you can’t rely on your partner. It means that you choose to rely on them out of love, not necessity. It means that you can enter into partnerships, like marriage, as equals, each bringing your own strengths to the table.
I want you to have the freedom to make choices that are best for you. To have the ability to leave situations that are not healthy or fulfilling for you. To have the security of knowing that you can take care of yourself, no matter what life throws at you.
I am proud of the woman you are becoming, and I have no doubt that you will navigate your financial journey with grace and wisdom. Remember, it’s not about the destination, but the journey. And I am here for you, every step of the way.
With all my love,
Mom
