Financial Independence: Who Has the Title
on You?
There’s one aspect of holding your own in a relationship that cannot
be overlooked: money. Many women dream of having a knight in
shining armor pay all the bills. The part they don’t show is what
happens after Prince Charming sweeps you off your feet. If he’s
paying all the bills in the castle, he’ll also be calling the shots. That is
when the princess stops feeling like a princess and starts feeling like
a servant.
This chapter explores what happens when you give up your “pink
slip” and the ability to provide for yourself.

He’ll never respect you as being able to
hold your own unless you can stand on your
own two feet financially.
When you have the clear title on a vehicle, you are the legal
owner and you have the “pink slip,” or certificate of ownership, to
it. The “Pink Slip” in some states means you’ve been fired.
However, the meaning here pertains to 
ownership of a vehicle.
When you have the pink slip, there are no lien-holders. There are
no monies owed. There are no debts unpaid. This means you own it
free and clear,
so what you do with that vehicle is entirely up to

you. Likewise, when a woman keeps the pink slip over herself, she
gains leverage in the relationship.
This is what many mothers tell their daughters: If a woman gives
up her independence and becomes financially dependent on a man,
she’ll have far fewer choices in life. She’ll end up at someone else’s
beck and call. She’ll be at 
someone else’s mercy.
This is why a
woman should maintain her independence, her “pink slip,” and full
ownership of 
herself.
