View submission: How to be independent when I'm old?
IMO…you need to be financially independent. either through a job of YOUR own or investments of YOUR own.
Being emotionally stable. Yes its nice when someone can show/give affection or be supportive, but youve also got to be able to do it for yourself. Had a bad day, journal or go work out Feeling ill or get a bug, know what makes you feel better, go to a dr if need be, just get thru of the sickness.
Become knowledgeable of the tools that are available. I think this is a main factor that a majority of women lack. Because society has painted the damsel in distress ideology for centuries. If you have to want to do whatever it is on your own.
Ive been on my since I was 19. my dad really wanted me to be very independent. One thing I remember him telling me when I was 9y/o, “you dont need to depend on anyone but yourself. You dont need a man to pay your bills, feed you, or take care of you.”
I’ve invested into retirement funds and other investments so I can retire properly and have a job that I can retire with a pension and healthcare. I do have a bit of an advantage of being a Veteran and having that healthcare if needed.
There's nothing here!
