Kung inaakala ng marami na masarap gastusin ang pera ng iba ay kakaiba itong si Bb. Pilipinas World Maggie Wilson. Si Maggie ay asawa ni Victor Consunji Jr. na nasa real estate business.
Ayon sa isang post ni Maggie sa Instagram na ang pagkakaroon ng pera na galing sa sariling pagsisikap ang pinaka-masaya para sa kanya. Mas empowering daw ito kaysa gastusin niya ang pera ng kanyang asawa na para sa kanya ay napaka-boring.
Narito ang post ni Maggie:
“It’s amazing how often I get asked, “Why do you still work?” Why is that such a surprise? I come from a working class family. I don’t have a trust fund. I don’t have parents who just hand me money and I am so grateful for that because it’s taught me never to take money for granted. NO one should ever feel like they’re being treated like an ATM machine either. Money doesn’t grow on trees.
And while yes, I could very well just sit on my ass, be a lady who “lunches”, who goes shopping, who just spends my husbands money as I please but you know what? I don’t find that fun. It’s boring as hell to me.
Nothing makes me feel more empowered than knowing that I have my own money in the bank. That I can be financially secure on my own. I’m lucky to have a husband who understands that. Who lets me thrive and be my own person. Plus, I think it’s nice that I am able to wine and dine him too. Lol!
Don’t ever let anyone dictate what you can and can not do. I know quite a few women who feel like their hands are tied, who feel unhappy and trapped because they sacrifice too much for their spouses and families that they don’t leave anything left for themselves. Protect and love yourself too because it’s important, YOU are important.”
