Life as A Woman

Written by Norma on 06 July 2010

When I was a little girl, I used to think that the men had it all. After all, they were the ones with the big cars while their wives drove small Toyotas if they drove at all. They were the ones who paid for lovely meals, and they seemed all so powerful with their wallets. The women I knew seemed to have to ‘kow-tow’ to the men, asking for housekeeping monies or that little extra sometimes to buy a dress for a special occasion.

I was determined to grow up to be important, to have a wallet and to drive a big car.

Of course, I did grow up and I did get all these wonderful things. I love my slate-grey 5-Series BMW when I finally bought it, and am looking forward to the next new 5-Series model due to be out in the market in 2010. I love my handbags, all of them. And when I read in an Agatha Christie book once that you can always tell whether a person was a lady from her shoes, I fell in love with shoes, and only good shoes to be specific.

None of these things gave me the freedom of mind and lightness of heart. They were great. My shoes always make me feel fantastic and in the occasion, whether for the Boardroom or the all-night-crazy-parties I used to go to. Lightness of heart came when I achieved Financial Independence. I was free.

I wrote ‘Gorgeous, Sexy and Rich’ to help women attain the same. It is possible. That great feeling of having enough for the rest of one’s life, and not needing to be worried or concerned about the next job, the next pay rise or the next hand-out from hubby.

Freedom! It can be yours.
