And homemade food, and solo travel, and a cordless Hitachi magic wand. π§

Just started my savings goal of 50k that I should be able to reach in two years time for a house deposit to go towards a 200k house.
In South Asian and Muslim culture, a lot girls have a societal pressure to marry young and settle. And I have had a lot of young educated Muslim guys come up to me and say I CAN'T DEMAND HE OWN A PROPERTY BEFORE MARRIAGE!! The audacity!! If a Muslim man can't provide for me before marriage, then I'm out of there faster you can say 'hot potato'.
I'm moving abroad to teach English next year. I will have a starting salary of 45k a year. I don't know if I will stay abroad or come back to London when I'm 30. I'm 24 at the moment.
But one thing I know is after dealing with a NVM ex who tried to fuck me over and many LVM interactions, I LOVE BEING SINGLE.
And it's going to take a very special HVM to change that π

I am so, so proud of you and all the other women on this sub who come from traditional cultures and face societal pressure to settle down early but still resist! It certainly doesn't sound easy. π
[β]retro_glamourFDS Newbie44 points45 points46 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
NEVER. SETTLE.
You sound like you have good things going for you at a young age--I managed to get my shit together but it took until I was 27. Now I'm 30 and I realize that being single is the shit. I've been single for a year and I've spent the last year taking care of myself for a change and it feels great; I'll never look backward again, only forward.
YOU deserve the best. YOU are the prize. Never settle.
Wish I'd learned that at your age π

Your house is going to be amazing. May It be your sanctuary where you never have to take any crap!

One form of wealth are options.
And financial independence gives you so many options, one being never having to depend on a man to survive. Our foremothers in 19th century knew that so much of women's suffering and enslavement came from abject financial dependence on men and fought for the rights of women to own their property and engage in gainful employment.
Bravo to You! You are on the path to freedom.

AYYY fellow Desi here!! I will basically be in the same boat in a few years, after I graduate and get a job!! I'm not marrying until I'm 28 or smth.

Where on earth are you going that you'll be on 45K a year teaching English? I did that for several years but the money was really bad. Are you going to Saudi Arabia or somewhere?
[β]HoneyBouquetFDS Apprentice[S] 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Not Saudi Arabia. Any of the UAE countries so Dubai or Qatar etc. I'll make a decision which country when I apply in January 2021.

Realize that they often promise a certain income and then simply don't pay. A friend of mine was denied 6 months of pay.

For me, it's a clean and quiet home, not having a ton of laundry to do, and cooking whatever I feel like eating without arguing about what to eat. There's so much peace in being single and living alone.
[β]notochordFDS Newbie16 points17 points18 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The quiet is amazing! Being able to read without the constant interruptions and questions is so relaxing and joyful.
[β]AlienUtteringsFDS Disciple4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Ive heard so many males say that they don't shower in the evening. Can you imagine bringing all the nasty shite from the day into your bed?? And rolling around in that? Might as well sleep outside...
[β]seraphinelysionFDS Apprentice4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This was a constant battle with my ex. To the point where he slept on the couch most nights. And by most nights, I mean we lived in our house for about 7 years and I can't remember one night that he slept in bed with me.
[β]KairosnPistisFDS Newbie32 points33 points34 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes! Clean sheets, clean room, clean eating, journaling, reading good books or positive films, waking up early and feeling rested in my own home! In summary when I think about it, even the wealthy ones, I donβt want to spend another minute letting LVMs, dim my light, lower my vibration or slow my growth.
[β]Nicolo_UltraFDS Newbie18 points19 points20 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I have my house that I own, my car I own, my successful career, my wealth of family and friends, my youth and beauty, and my fulfilling hobbies. If a man doesnβt dine to take from that and only add his wealth to it, he [might] be worth it.

This is awesome! Congratulations :)

Heads up ladies, the B&BW semiannual sale is going on right now! I know because I went yesterday and stocked up on candles, and proceeded to do exactly as this meme said π
[β]gcthrowaway2019FDS Apprentice4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I've been buying so many candles from B&BW since COVID hit!! The 3 wicks are the best.
[β]LAM_humor11561 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good, my candle supply is running low...too low.
[β]sadpourtoujoursFDS Disciple9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Love this π
[β]Blacklea20FDS Newbie8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Donβt forget the ever reliable vibrator! That helps a bunch also.

Target candles arenβt bad either lolol

I love target candles!

Times I feel having a boyfriend would be neat:
When I need someone to rub lotion on the one spot on my back I can't reach
When I just sat down but forgot my drink in the kitchen
That's all.

This and only this ... I have saved myself so much damn time just in the last month by applying this principle. If he ainβt it, he out yβall π
[β]oceanpark4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
for me it's video games, my cat, my super comfy couch and some tea <3

I value my personal space so much. I think if I was to ever live with a man we would have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. We can occasionally sleep in the same room, but Iβve to enjoy knowing that certain spaces in the world are mine and mine alone.

I'm with you but I've advanced my fantasy to where I buy the house next door and he lives there.
We can even put a little gate in the fence for him to come calling.
