    Before I got married, actually when I realized that the gentleman and I were heading towards a steady relationship, I told him let us open a savings account for the household. He said no. I decided to save for myself. Thirty years after I am now retired, marriage on the rocks, but I saved enough to last me for two lifetimes. I still engage in saving and have roped in the younger of my two sons in the saving habit. The older of the two has not been taking my advice. I would be wanting for nothing after divorce because I had the foresight to save my own money, just in case! Great advice Fumi! Don't depend on the man's money!! Set aside your own.

    My dad was the provider. My mom stayed home. My father gave my mother money to go to the market every week for groceries. He gave her let's say $100. My mom clipped coupons like crazy. Well all those years the money she saved with the coupons is what she stashed away. I never knew about it until I was older. Mother had a nice savings account from those coupon clippings.

      Right people don’t think about death. What if the husband never has a retirement account? What if he does but it’s not enough to sustain you for longer than a year or two? It’s best to have your own however I still believe the man should be the main provider. The women are always the main ones to handle take the majority responsibility for the children.

    Thank you for this talk. I make good money in oil & gas and my fiance wanted me to quit my job so he can be "The Man". I refused so I had to let him go plus he was a chauvinist and want me home to be the baby maker and maid. I would never put myself in a situation where I have to ask a man for money no matter how much he says he loves me and the kids. Mad day will always come ladies. Make sure you can take care of yourself and your kids when it does. You have the power when you don't need a man.

      THISSS!!! 💯 NEVER give up your independence!! Work and have YOUR OWN, maintain yourself so that when you meet someone you are with them because you WANT to be, not because you HAVE to be. And you can walk away (or show them the door) without worry, should it ever come to that. My husband and I both make 6 figures, but I make approximately 32% more than him so if something was to happen, my daughter and I would be just fine. My mother raised me to NEVER depend on a man, and my husband 100000% appreciates that about me. He is not treated like an ATM and his wife is his *partner*. And we are raising our daughter with the same strong sense of independence and smart financial management.

    Fumi my first daughter father died when she was three years old and I was only twenty three years old. I didn't have anything to fall back on. Unfortunately, the same situation happened to me again. My second daughter died when she was eight months old. This time I was working and doing my degree. It's now eight years since his death and I have acquired a plot of land and build my house, bought a car and sending my two children to school. Those unexpected situations caused me to realize that in the blink of an eye your life can change. This is life changing advice you giving and I do appreciate you for it.

I've been independent since the age of 16, and my mother thought me the importance of saving. I got married in my 30's and have two boys. My husband has a very good job, and he has always provided for our family, but I work and contribute to our household as well. You never know what life has in store for you, and it's better to be prepared for the unexpected rather than the unexpected thrusting you into a tailspin. Love your channel, because you always keep it real.

    I’m so glad you posted this today ♥️ I am in quite a similar position. I am blessed to be A stay at home mom. I struggle with the back and forth of working and not working everyday. Even though I technically do work I don’t receive a pay check and sometimes I feel like I should be contributing financially. These past 2 months have been rough as far as my marriage goes. I hate that I don’t have the option to just leave because financially I am not secure. It’s a position I put myself in and if I could warn anyone I would say don’t ever get yourself in a relationship where you are dependent financially on the other. I love you Dahling! Have a blessed day!

      my older sis is in the same position married to a wealthy man and totally dependent on him. She worries night and day even though the marriage is stable married 19+ years but I told her to get a part time job atleast since her kids are off to college now and she has some time to spend outside the home. There is security in having some of your own funds - anything can happen to your spouse - not that we pray for bad things but it is good to keep your skills current and have some finances stashed away

    I love you Fumi, my mom was widowed with 5 children when my father was murdered. She always saved and stretched her dollars and showed me how to survive. I'm so very grateful to her. Mami, as I call her is 84 years old now. She's still making me smile and her life story is incredible, Although she struggled, having lost her Mom to Cancer at the age of 12, and being the oldest of 9 (the baby was 10 months old in cloth diapers) she never gave up and passed that along to us. She helped raise her siblings and other children as well. My Dad did not want her to work or go to school. She went to school anyway, graduated with a nursing degree and shortly after my Dad was killed. Her strength and her faith in God, showed me who I wanted to be. Her example was a gift, I'm eternally grateful for. It's wonderful to see and hear you giving such gifts to all. So many people are lost in this world and you my darling are a sweet breath of fresh air. Blessings to you and your family.

Now going back to school and will be finishing soon and I cannot wait for the day when I will feel liberated.

    Get insurance on your husbands, ladies! That way if he suddenly drops down dead, at least you get paid. Insurance is the way to go in a marriage. That's what rich folks do. They take out insurances on their husbands because it's usually men who die first leaving behind a wife, children, mortgage, debt and lots of bills. Get life insurance now not later, ladies.

Otherwise, if you're not, although you feel you're struggling independently, at least your efforts and work is just for YOU. If you're still in the marriage, I mean...for what it's worth to stay, no matter what I'm thinking or what anyone else is thinking...I've since come to realize that everyone has to make their own personal choice to stay or go, use the moment of his financial contributions, (no matter how little he contributes), to hoard your own money. Also, you may need to consider getting a side gig or side gigs so that some or all of the side gig money can go to savings and some can go towards your daily livelihood. Good luck.

    When I first arrived in the States, my now ex wanted me to immediately start working to start paying bills. I told him I wanted to go to school, he said he didn’t bring me to U.S to go to school…. the rest of the 25 years of my life with him was SLAVERY..! I never did go to school…
    I have to actually divorce him for me to even have control of my own money…!
    But thank God, I’m free now. My kids are all adults and I’m basically FREE from his bondage and slavery and I’m very happy. Mine was no marriage, it was slavery..
    I will say it once again, Auntie Fumi, you got a GOLDEN husband…! Some of us women are never that lucky..!

When I watch your videos I actually see an older version of myself in a lot of ways. It makes me happy as I live my life, day by day and with the grace of God I know I am a success story. The bible talks about older women advising the younger and I love that you do this. This is also something I'd like to do when I am a bit older and have gained more life experience as well. So I am learning a lot from you. Thank you so much for inspiring us all.

    You are so right Fumi, I am a living example of what you just described. Young ladies, learn how to save while you still have something to save. May God bless you Fumi, so proud of you. Keep educating and encouraging our young ladies: mothers, sisters and why not your aunties like me!🙏🤗

      Seriously. Going through that right now.
      I wasted my hard earn money buying stupid stuff, traveling with so called friends. And now I have nothing to show for it.
      No money, and left to stay with the father of my child.

    Love you Fumi!! Keep'n it real!! I lost my dear husband love after 34years of marriage and fighting through a six year illness before he passed away. What you're saying here is so true!! Tried as I might to be prepared when the wheels fell off my life I still wasn't ready!!

      I just lost my husband a few months ago unexpectedly. We were only married for 15 months, and he never got around to adding my name to any of his financial affairs ( like I did for him). When he died, there was nothing there for me to live off of. When I say nothing... I mean absolutely nothing. It all went to his previous family, because he didn't remove their names from his paperwork, even though he led me to believe he took care of things, and that I'd be provided for, should something happen to him. I could t believe it! If it wasn't for me having my own savings and assets, and very good friends that helped to provide the cushion I needed to keep me afloat, I don't know where I would be.
      I learned the following lessons: As a woman... keep saving your own money, even if you're married because tomorrow is not promised, your life can change in the blink of an eye like mine did, and most importantly, sometimes men screw up, and we're left to clean up the mess.

    This really hit me‼My parents operated exactly like yours. My father provided for our family, he paid all the bills, mortgage and car notes. My mother also worked. She provided things for the house and provided for my sisters and I. Things like clothing, getting our hair done, extra curricular activities, etc. My mother, always from the time we were young girls, drilled it into her daughter's and any young woman she came across to have your own (job, savings, car, etc...). I appreciate her teachings so much and I miss she and my father as they have both passed on. I am the youngest (53) and have never been married nor do I have children. I always wanted a family; husband, kids, the house. I have faith that it will all come to pass for me. Even the child, although at this point not in the conventional way. Maybe the man I marry will have a child. Thank you Fumi for this reminder‼ You are truly a blessing. I hope one of your big announcements is your bra line coming to fruition for us heavy chested girls 🥰‼Happy Holidays🎄🎆🥂

You have a way of giving your opinion or guidance without malice or being passive aggressive. When other ppl tell me these things they make it seem like im doing something wrong or i should do what they said BECAUSE they're older, a im right and you're wrong aura to them.

I remember I use to have every credit card for every store...the only saving grace was the cards didn't have balances. I've been in debt which is a special kind of hell! Oh I wanted every designer handbag...not anymore. Now I want travel experiences not things. I am glad I wised up!!!!!

I watch my spending and will buy classic pieces to mix and match with good pieces. I have a nice 401k and savings account. I have a separate account from my boyfriend. I don't play when it comes to my coins.
