My girls watching me and learning the importance of being financially independent - priceless

[/quote] I prefer interdependence over independence.  We are all different. [/quote]

This statement does not make sense to me.  Anytime people are married and both are earning a salary, clearly there is interdependence in running the household as a whole.  I'm sure there is some rare couple out there that may have really and truly separate expenses but that has to be exceedingly rare.  If you share a space and resources, you are financially interdependent.

What the PP is referring to is that some women value knowing that they could also support themselves without their partner if necessary.[/quote]
