Lexie says she has always wanted to be “financially dependent” on her husband – an attitude that has stirred the fierce debate.
Lexie, 26, is the mother of two children who ran her hairdressing business for seven years before she had two children and decides not to return to full -time work.
“I’ve always known that I wanted to be financially dependent on my husband, and I never had a problem with him,” she said.
Lexie explained that her goal has always been to become a mother and woman staying home.
“When I met my husband, we were just friends; I said all my plan.
The young mother said she fell in love with her husband so quickly because he wanted a “similar dynamics”, so money has always been an open conversation.
But when Lexie publicly shared her feelings to be “financially dependent”, many found her honesty for money and refreshing.
“Love this,” someone said.
“So good you guys were in front so early,” pointed out another.
“I think this is really great and it should be normalized,” noted one.
“It’s been like this generation from both sides of my family. So it’s all I ever knew, and I don’t want anything else,” someone else shared.
However, among the positive comments were the people who were concerned that Lexie was financially redundant for her husband and that she would end without any superranulation.
“I can’t,” noticed one.
Another argued, “men especially want to change their minds”, implying that Lexie may not make the best financial decision.
“I disagree with this lifestyle, but it is really a privilege to be able to do this now the second with the cost of living,” another said.
“If you do this, you must have signed a pre-Nup that will guarantee that you were after if the marriage ends, he decides to leave, cheat, etc.
“If you don’t have it, no amount of financial awareness can save you if you end up and you don’t have your money. Please look for yourself, ladies,” one warned.
Speaking to news.com.au, Lexie said she is frustrated that people assume that she is somewhat not spared financially just because she is not what makes money.
“Some people think there is a” issue “with what I am chosen to make or that should not be a choice or is not the right choice or is not a smart,” she said.
“Just because I’m financially dependent on my husband doesn’t mean I’m not knowing financially.”
“My husband and I have a complete transparency. Just because I’m not earning income does not mean that I don’t have to say 50/50 to say the way we spend it.”
She also said no one should worry about her supervision balance.
“We are still presenting it; instead of making additional contributions to the supervisor, we are putting it on our home loan because interest rates are so high,” she said.
She explained that the point of the video was to show that just because she is not a nutrition, it does not mean that she has no financial power.
The 26-year-old emphasized the importance of being “financially aware” and said she has full access to all their money.
Despite the concern from Aussies, the couple’s choice to live with a income is certainly not uncommon.
Millions of Australians are financially dependent on their partner, according to new research from the Finder website.
Almost one in four women who describe themselves as financially dependent, and Finder’s research revealed that 22 percent of millennia currently rely on their friends for money.
When she became pregnant, the couple soon began living outside her husband’s income to make sure they could afford to continue her.
“We had practiced to live with a new few months before my son was born in preparation,” she said.
“We reduced our living expenses and made some sacrifices, so I had the choice when I came to return to work.”
She returned to work after her first, but after her second, daily care costs removed the couple, and they decided to continue living from her husband’s salary, which is over $ 100,000.
Living in one income has not been much a fight for the 26-year-old, she insists.
“I’ve always lived a minimalist style, and we have always lived in our tools. We never had offspring or car loans.
“Our mortgage was the youngest we could get a home,” she said.
The couple’s mortgage is a manageable $ 500,000, and those intelligently bought below what they could afford to borrow.
However, the couple changed some habits to accommodate their income.
“We make changes, we change our security, our phone plans and we don’t have much broadcasting services,” she said.
“We do not buy pickups, we do not have gym members and shorten those extra items. We focused only on living with a stress -free income, but there is always stress.”
The 26-year-old eventually argued that staying at home has allowed her husband to focus on his career and potentially make more money.
“Being a parent of staying at home and taking these responsibilities means that my husband can flourish in his career,” she said.
Sadly, she thinks she has a stigma about mothers of staying home because women “accumulate against each other”, where each choice is valuable.
