I didn’t do well in high school so I was nervous about going to college. You’d be amazed how motivation changes when you’re on your own with kids. Took nine years while working full time but Graduated Summa Cum Laude.

The only thing my mom ever taught me was to be self-sufficient and to be able to pay my own way through life. Even if you have the best marriage, what if your husband passes away?! How will you support yourself and your kids?!?

My daughter said she didn’t want to end up like me. I told her I didn’t want that for her either. She just graduated with her Masters degree. I’m so proud of her for breaking the cycle.🥰

And if their husband dies. I saw it first hand they are screwed. Some of these are Living in one room with a relative. They have no idea how to live or work. When everything depends on one man and most not even good men and quite mean.

I wanted an education but I had nothing but roadblocks, so I gave up, and sadly it might have been for the best because at this point, surely AI would have taken any job i had and I'd be in a worse position with student loans still. doing the tradwife thing did work well for me...my first kid happened after 25 tho. but I was widowed by 33 and had no village to help. had a huge village before kids. after kids? they dwindled. after becoming a widow? nonexistent. even my family who pushed the whole "don't bother with school, you suck at everything anyway, just focus on being a mom!" narrative turned around and said "you should have considered this outcome, you failure!" So hell yes, I'm teaching my daughters to do anything but what I did, and reminding them how capable they are of standing on their own two feet

What no one tells us is that if we don't work we don't earn points for our social security, don't earn points for your social security and you're at retirement age you don't get social security.

That’s exactly right! I’m gen jones and that’s my story. They’re making a huge mistake in getting married young. I was 22 when I got married and 23 when I had my first kid.

I wish I had waited to get married and had kids. I love my kids, but if I could do it over, I would do college first. I decided at 26 that I was over being broke and went back to school. I had a 4- and 5-year-old at the time.

My trad wife mom always taught me to be sure I had an education and career to support myself. Ironically, she’s maga.
