Growing income through strategic planning
10/13/2022
Handling a family’s finances is not an easy task and certainly not a single person’s job. And yet our society is conditioned to believe that only men are capable of handling money. Men are pressurised to earn a living and provide for a family's every need. But is it fair to put all the burden of earning family income on a single person? Why does society discourage women from being equal earning partners?
Handling the expenses of a family becomes easy when more than one person is in charge. While some households have multiple men to fulfil these financial needs, what is wrong if women too contribute to it?
Most people have a nuclear setup where one man has to endure the burden of an entire family’s financial needs. The pressure to succeed at work and earn a hefty paycheck leads to mental health issues among men. He is not able to take risks or change his career if he is unhappy. Life becomes difficult and monotonous.
In this scenario, just put in working women as partners of men providing for the family. If a woman starts contributing to and sharing the financial burden of a man, not only do the financial needs of the family get fulfilled each partner feels less stressed. If both men and women in the house are earning, the financial burden is shared enough to maintain a balance between familial and personal needs.
Encouraging women to contribute to the financial needs of a family breaks the stereotype that earning is just a hobby. It will also break the norm that using women’s money for financial needs is a matter of shame for the family and their earnings are either seen as their pocket money or not taken seriously enough to consider it as a part of family income.
Treating their earnings as an equal part of the family income normalises the fact that women’s careers and paychecks are as valuable as those of men.
With so many benefits of considering working women in the house as partners in the family’s finances, can we not overcome gender biases? Can we not unlearn the regressive stereotype that earning is not a woman’s role but cooking and cleaning are?
