I’m an engineer and my sister is an attorney. As a mom of 2 girls I say “make your own money and marry someone funny”

I worked for husband and wife attorneys, whose 2 daughters were in a top medical school and a top law school. I asked what they did and they said they ended every princess story, "and the princess ran away to college and made her own money"

My parents *never* implied a man was part of my financial picture. I have a husband but I make more money and it’s just great!

For me it was the PTSD from being embarrassingly poor and dirty my whole childhood. I knew around age 10 what I needed to do.

My parents always made it clear that I was capable of anything. I told my dad when I was 6 I wanted to ride my bike 100 miles the next year and we trained together and made it happen. Always felt like there was a reason to shoot for the moon because I knew I could and had the support to do whatever I wanted

I’m a doctor and one sister is a lawyer and the other an aerospace engineer. Agree 100% with you! My parents were very similar! They always made education and learning so fun—I think that also helped us a lot. Even to this day I love learning and reading! I grew up seeing their love for other cultures and people which also shaped us!

In high school I expressed an interest in a major that would have resulted in a low income for the rest of my life. My Dad said “nope”. I scoffed but he added “you won’t be relying on a man your whole life”

At the age of five we always told my daughter” when you go to college” she just assumed everyone goes to college lol. As she got older to understand life a little bit we always told her never live above your means and never depend on someone else’s money, including our.. although we have helped her through her college and now her medical school she will become a doctor next year.

This is sooo important! Especially the “this isn’t yours” part. It may seem cruel to say that to some but it’s the reality check than many teens and young adults need when thinking about their future! Side note lol, I’m so curious, do either of your parents work in medicine or practice law like you and your sister? Or do you all kind of do your own thing?

My sister and I both have multiple degrees and licensures (education and therapist) and our parents motivated us through shame 😁

I had a single mom growing up. She always said “a man can never take your education.” So get a damn good job so you can support yourself in the end if need.

Lolo🧚🏼 :
I’m a doctor and my sister is also a lawyer and our parents, specially our mom, always told us to work our ass off so we never relied on anyone specially a man. Sadly, we don’t come from privilege and for my mom her advice came from pain and experiences of her elders, but she did it!! Her two girls made it!!

Lol my parents were poor which is REALLY motivating 😂 I saw them work SO hard & still barely scrape by & knew I never wanted to live like that as an adult or raise kids that way. Don’t get me wrong my parents are amazing & I had a good childhood, but I saw how much stress the lack of money put on my parents & I didn’t want to be that stressed when raising kids. I also knew someone was going to have to support them in their old age & I’m the eldest daughter so…yeah, I worked really hard & do well for myself. When I was dating I was by no means a gold digger but I also wasn’t going to work harder than a potential husband and I wanted the *option* to stay home when my kids were small bc my Mom always lamented not being able to do that. As it turns out I didn’t want to stay home & love my carrier fiercely, but it doesn’t hurt to have a man who out earns me 🤷♀️

My sister is a doctor and I’m a lawyer and everything you said is the same for us too! Cool because we live on the other side of the world (somewhere in Asia)

med student here. my parents were the same way, especially with the “you like our big house and our nice lifestyle? yeah, it ain’t yours! it’ll be gone from you the minute you go off to college so work hard, make a name for yourself, and create the same life for yourself so you can live lavishly” haha. kind of strict and caught me off guard in the moment but DANG it was a reality check for me! they also encouraged me to be “better” than them. they want me to have a better life than they do, even though they have a great life. they want the absolute BEST for me so again, i WANT to work harder for myself and them.

🥰 2 daughters, one a physician and one currently studying for the LSAT. Never pressured them about grades, just about NEVER depending on anyone or any man to provide.

PhD in engineering here. My parents gave up their masters degrees in eng to come to America. They made it clear anything less than success isn’t just disappointment; it’s betrayal. Sister is a fancy lawyer

I don’t think doctors have good lifestyles, and it is not as glamorous as you would like to portray it to be
