Reena Singh firmly believes that women need to embrace singleness and not chase marriage. Instead, focus on breaking through stereotypes to fulfill their career dreams. She firmly states that it’s never been more critical or possible than it is now for women to become financially independent.

You may have come across people pursuing financial independence and early settlement. Technically, marriage is a much easier path to financial independence than singledom, yet women have a different voice, definition, and outlook towards life. There’s a diversity of women who choose to live on their terms and pursue independence.

However, the internet is filled with stories that do not accurately reflect women’s financial independence. Instead, articles continue feeding the stereotype by covering the dependency of women on marriage. Some women are actively pursuing financial independence and are baffled by the fame. Yet, they only wish that they presented another perspective.

Life of Reena Singh

Time and again, it is said that women need to manage their finances after they are married. But what’s unfortunate is the utter fallacy of this thought. What’s the point of stressing when the damage is done? No, here, the damage is not marriage that is being referred to, but the time spent not being financially independent before marriage is disparaging.

Imagine trying to take responsibility for a family with four young siblings and minimal access to money. That’s what life was like for Reena Singh for many years. Attaining a money-related balance wasn’t necessarily about setting a target bank balance or the ability to pay for expensive items without flinching – for her, it was as simple as pursuing quality education or taking a summer vacation.

As a PR professional with over a decade of experience, Reena Singh considers financial health at the top of their mind now more than ever. Her takeaway? “Whether it’s living in a relationship or leaving it, it’s beneficial to have your finances in order.” Having worked for over a dozen of clients throughout her professional journey, an important question that keeps coming up is: What more can I do to keep myself financially secured?

Reena Singh – Money, marriage, and mindfulness makes a financially independent woman

As a single woman nearing her 40s, having confidence in her finances has become a massive part of her feel-good factor. For Singh, a sense of financial security enables her to focus entirely on occupational wellness. She adds, “When I’m not panicking about bills, I can focus on chasing my career goals.”

When asked about an age-old question: What is more critical, marriage or money? Reena Singh said, “There’s no right answer, and it could very well change over the years. But really, I wouldn’t want my life to be devoid of either.” Unfortunately, some women like Singh have had difficulty breaking through the apparent and order financial independence over marriage.

As someone who grew up with many family responsibilities, Singh found great freedom and fulfillment working towards financial independence. Being a single woman is the no. 1 signal to settle personal finances, Singh said. Such concerns signal that women need to have a louder voice if they seek financial independence to help other women who want to take the same path believes Singh.

Her goal is to accumulate enough money to meet any situation – whether it is a job loss, ailments, or an untimely crisis. If there is one thing that millennial women can learn from their journey, it is a commitment to a single future vision.

“As a single, there’s only one thing I have to manage, me. My life, my choices,” adds Reena Singh.
