My Top 5 Money Horror movies as an ambitious woman
1. Having kids before You have at least $300k (this is already reduced from my target of 7 figs assets)
2. Marrying someone Before you have Any assets of your own and not having a prenup (Related: getting married too young aka younger than 28)
3. Buying an Overpriced PRIMARY home
(Aka you're not having Tenants pay your bills)
You are struggling To afford (at any age it is a bad move)
Traps you in bad relationships
Bad jobs
No real way to build wealth young
4. Buying Expensive things Because you're "young" And "yolo" instead of Investing into assets
5. Giving up on your Career bc your husband/SO Insists you stay home and take care of the kids.
Going back to point number 1, as a woman, this is a terrible bet and hurts the entire family unit in case god forbid the man leaves, abuses you, cheats, or dies.
Instead, just pay for daycare dammit
