A Man Is Not A Financial Plan: TradWives And Its Financial And Social Implications

A Man Is Not A Financial Plan: TradWives And Its Financial And Social Implications

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger August 8, 2024 Duration: 50:01

In this episode, I speak to Jo Piazza, bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance, podcaster, and award-winning journalist. We discuss tradwives and its financial and social implications. 

Given that Financial Samurai is about achieving financial freedom sooner, being financially dependent on someone as an adult is the exact opposite of what I want for readers.

A tradwife typically denotes a woman who believes in and practices traditional gender roles and marriages. Some may choose to take on a homemaking role within their marriage or leave their careers to focus on meeting their family's needs at home.

According to Google Trends, online searches for the term "tradwife" began to rise in popularity around mid-2018 and reached high levels during the early 2020s.
