Some words from Kris related to this subject: I didn't long to be an entrepreneur, but I did yearn for freedom from the rigid 9-to-5 schedule.

If you were financially dependent on your partner, walking away would be harder. I'm careful to maintain my financial independence. This Forbes article highlights the benefits of financial freedom for women.
You make better decisions around you and your family's life. Managing money builds confidence, and you need confidence to succeed. You can take more risks to improve your life, as you can hire assistance if things go wrong in business or life.
