Women who stick to struggling men until the men grow their financial IQs and become financially stable are usually praised and approved by almost everyone.

While that may be a testament to a woman's praiseworthy character, I am of the opinion that such women still fall short, in the sense that they only stick to a man while he grows his financial IQ, without them growing theirs too.

A poorly resourceful but endearing woman may mean the world to a struggling man. But the moment he mounts financial heights, his once endearing but financially uneducated partner may become a liability.

Mounting financial heights is a function of FINANCIAL EDUCATION, and financial education promotes ASSETS but frowns at LIABILITIES. As you know, assets put money in your pocket while liabilities take money out of your pocket.

A poorly resourceful woman may be an asset to a struggling man because she supplies his emotional needs despite his low financial state. But when he grows his IQ and gets rich, he'll most likely require more than emotional satisfaction from her.

If she had failed to grow her financial IQ along with him, she will depend on him to supply her financial/material needs just as she supplied and still supplies his emotional needs. At this point, the woman may become less attractive to the man.

Any woman can supply emotional needs. And when it comes to supplying emotional needs, it's a two-way traffic. But if she had grown her financial IQ along with him, she would easily flow in the same frequency with him, both emotionally and financially.

That way, their attraction to each other endures and their love blossoms. Between a financially educated partner and a financially uneducated partner, there will be arguments and fights over money, and most of the time, if not all the time, the root of the problem can be traced to the partner with low or no financial education.

That is why one partner eventually walks away. Even the Bible says; "Can two work together except they be agreed?" In most cases, the partner who walks away is the one with more financial education, which in the context of the write-up, is the man.

We may call him a monster, an ingrate, or Lucifer, as the case may be. But if you take a quick run through history, you'll find that many financially educated women had to dump their financially uneducated male partners when they could no longer agree on certain money-related matters. It is not a GENDER THING. It is a GROWTH THING.

The 21st century ladies have asserted that sticking to a struggling man is one of the most uncalculated risks to take because the man dumps them for another woman the moment he gets rich. But how many men of substance walk away from women of real WORTH and VALUE?

If you supply emotional needs alone, what happens when other needs arise? It takes more than the emotions of love to keep an affair going. And I am not in any way talking down on women who see beyond a man's pocket. As a matter of fact, I ADORE them.

That is why I am writing this piece: to give them heads up on how to keep the RICH VERSION of their partner glued to them, thereby making the years they spent with his POOR VERSION count. Don't just service his emotions while he grows his financial IQ. Grow yours too. That's one important thing that will earn you his affection and respect in the long run.

Emotion and finance have been the key focus of this piece. But they are not the only areas that require growth to keep you BALANCED. Others include spiritual, mental, academic, etc. Whatever the growth, the bottom line is: GROW ALONG WITH YOUR PARTNER TO AVOID STORIES THAT TOUCH.

Long time Jezuzboi you've taken writing to a higher level. Well done

blackpanthar:
the LONG TIME Girlfriends... did not GROW RICH... they felt love would be enough BUT it never is.

If the girls stopped sabotaging their own progress by waiting for a MAN TO BE RICH before progressing in their own lives in the name of love or in the name of "BEING THERE" for him.... even when the man gets money... he will be humble towards her.

MONEY CHANGES TASTE... both for women and men. RICH girls too dump guys who grew up with them... its called LIFE.

No one should WAIT for anyone... everyone should be moving.

ANGELMARVE:
Absolute Nonsense.

A lady stuck by you when you were broke, now that you are Rich, you left the lady because in your words, "She has now become a liability"
So tell me why Goodluck Jonathan is still with patience Jonathan?

Are you more richer and educated than Goodluck Jonathan?

Yes!!! i know a woman must develop her own self, mentally, educationally or resourcefully but that do not mean that if she fails to meet the requirement guaranteed for your financial level, that you should dump her.

A real man will use his wealth to uplift his woman financially, educationally and transform her to your standard.

sweetilicious:
I quite agree with you op.Most of these ladies feel it's an entitlement.If you were dating him while he was poor, work on yourself as he works on himself too.You are supposed to partner with him to build castles.What if he didn't make it or something happened to him, won't be able to to survive still? Build castles together and stop looking for someone to drain.The blessings of God for a man is the same for a woman.He said he will bless the works of our hands.Women should learn how to grab the bag too!

lilmax:
there's no excuse

Wayne4uall:
Most of the the long time gf once or more than twice cheated on the poor dude, the guy was only managing her because he was broke....

wetdick:
You are far from the truth.. The only reason a man will drop his long time girl friend is if she is not resourceful ..

Many rich men here in nigeria are marrid to their long time gf that was there from the start.

lefulefu:
As AngelMarve rightly said if broke men who become rich are dumping ladies who started with them then why is oga Goodluck still with Mama Peace? Abi u know goodluck met his wife wen he was dead broke. And wat of E money nko? E money started dating his wife when he had nothing. All those guys u see doing away with ladies wen they make it there must be a reason to it. Understand some of these guys when they were ppor such ladies probably disrespected them and flaunted their cheating ways in his face. Its very common to see some ladies bash their own men as useless cos he couldnt buy her murano. Some will have different sugar daddies while in a relationship with their guy and u expect d guy not to leave her when he makes it. Who wants a nemesis in his life.

It seems you didn't quite get the point in the write-up. If Lalasticlacla were to push this to front-page, you'd see that many women would be in agreement. Bro, things change. People change. It's better for a woman to develop herself and stand secure than just hope that the man will be a "REAL MAN" and do those things you mentioned. Life is too short for trials and errors.

IsiahRashad:
How about the woman who struggled with you and supported when there was nothing? What excuse is there to abandon her for another to come and reap where she didn't show.
