But today, many women are rethinking this story. The idea of sacrificing personal financial security for the sake of love doesn’t hold the same romantic appeal it once did. Instead, more women are choosing financial stability, even if it means walking away from a promising relationship. This shift isn’t about greed or gold-digging.
