WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? He Would Demand What He’s Worth!
Do you think there is any caveat in the Bible that tells its followers to pay 5% if they can’t afford 10?
My mother is a Christian, and she has happily supported Jesus for decades. The Bible explains to all followers of Christ that they should happily hand over 10% of their income as tithes, because “God loves a cheerful giver.” And so many women, including my dear mother, have invested hundreds and thousands of dollars a month (for decades!) to a god who:
Doesn’t pay any bills
Isn’t saving for retirement
Isn’t building a business
Has no family to take care of
Has no life goals that actually require money
Now this isn’t my non-Christian ass shitting on this male deity or disrespecting anyone’s beliefs. Quite the contrary! I have noticed how unapologetic men are when it comes to money, and as women we can adapt their “Fuck you, pay me!” mindset.
Ladies, this is why I am telling you to demand what you are worth. Of course there will be people who will push back and tell you your prices are too high. But pay them no mind and keep working until you attract your tribe of fans and supporters who understand that access costs.
