Lexie says she has always wanted to be “financially dependent” on her husband, a stance that has lit a fierce debate.
Lexie, 26, is a mother of two who led her own hairdressing business for seven years before having two children and deciding not to go back to full -time work.
“I have always known that I wanted to financially depend on my husband and I have never had a problem,” he said.
Lexie explained that his goal has always been to become a mother and a woman at home.
“When I met my husband, we were just friends; I told him all my plans. I wanted to marry -really young and having children, and I didn’t want to work again after having children,” he said.
The young mother said she fell in love with her husband so quickly because she wanted a “similar dynamic”, so money has always been an open conversation.
But when Lexie publicly shared his feelings to be “financially dependent”, many found his honesty about money and refreshing work.
“I love this,” he praised.
“So good you were ahead so soon,” said another.
“I think this is really great and it has to be normalized,” he said.
“It’s been like these generations on both sides of my family. So it’s all I have known and I don’t want anything else,” someone else shared.
However, among the positive comments were people who expressed their concern that Lexie was her husband’s financial oversized and who would end without any improvement.
“I can’t,” he emphasized one.
Another argued: “Men especially like to change their minds”, which means that Lexie may not make the best financial decision.
“I do not agree with this lifestyle, but it is really becoming a privilege to be able to do it now due to the cost of life,” another said.
“If you do, you must have a pre-nup signed that will guarantee that the marriage ends, decides to leave, deceive, etc.
“If you do not have it, any financial conscience can save you if it is over and you have no money.
Speaking to News.com.au, Lexie said that it is frustrated that people assume that somehow is not financially experienced only because it is not the one who earns money.
“There are those who think there is a” problem “with what I have chosen to do or that it does not have to be an option or is not the correct option or is not smart,” he said.
“Just because it depends financially on my husband does not mean that he does not have financial knowledge.”
“My husband and I have a complete transparency. Just because I do not win income does not mean that I do not have a 50/50 saying in the way to spend it.”
He also said that no one should worry about his superananization balance.
“We are still discovering it; instead of making additional contributions of overcoming, we are putting it on our home loan because the interest rates are so high,” he said.
He explained that the video point was to point out that only because he is not the bread winner, that does not mean that he does not have the same financial power.
The 26 -year -old girl emphasized the importance of being “financially aware” and said she has full access to all her money.
Despite the concern of the Aussies, the couple’s choice to live with an income is certainly not unusual.
Millions of Australians are financially dependent on their partner, according to new research on the financial comparison website.
Almost one in four women are described as financial dependents, and Finder’s research found that 22 percent of millennials currently trust their peers for money.
When she became pregnant, the couple soon began to live her husband’s income to ensure that they could afford to keep him up to date.
“We had been practicing with income a few months before my son was born in preparation,” he said.
“We reduced life costs and made some sacrifices, so I had options to go back to work.”
She returned to work after her first, but after her second, daycare costs left the couple and decided to continue to live out of the salary of her husband, which is over $ 100,000.
He insists that living with revenue has not been a struggle too much for the age of 26.
“I have always experienced a minimalist style and we have always lived with our means. We have never had Afterpay or cars loans.
“Our mortgage was the smallest we could get a house,” he said.
The couple’s mortgage is $ 500,000 and intentionally bought below what could be allowed to take away.
However, the couple changed some habits to adapt to their income.
“We made changes, we changed our insurance, our telephone plans and we don’t have many streaming services,” he said.
“We do not buy to take away, we do not have members of the gym and cut these additional items. We have focused solely on living with an income without stress, but there is always stress.”
The 26-year-old argued that staying at home has allowed her husband to focus on her career and potentially earn more money.
“Being a father at home and assuming these responsibilities means that my husband can prosper in his career,” he said.
Unfortunately, he believes that there is a stigma around mothers who stay at home because women are “against others”, where any option is valid.
