Nollywood actress and media personality Nancy Isime has said she would never reveal how much she earns to a romantic partner, stressing that privacy and personal boundaries are essential in a relationship.
Speaking on the Thanks For Coming podcast, Nancy explained that finances are one aspect of her life she prefers to keep private.
She said she sees no reason for a partner to know the exact amount she earns, adding that she also would not expect him to disclose his income to her.
According to the actress, maintaining healthy boundaries allows both partners to retain their individuality, noting that respecting each other’s privacy is more important than sharing every financial detail.
Nancy further disclosed that, unlike many women who grow up dreaming about marriage, she has never been particularly preoccupied with the idea, saying her focus has always been on building a successful and independent life.
She said:
> “Tell a man how much I earn, for what? I can never. And I don’t want him to discuss his earnings with me either. I don’t want to know how much he is earning. I’ve no problem with him going through my phone but for what?
> “I would never ask to check his phone. You know, when young girls sit down and daydream about getting married, I have never done that. All I daydream about is working, making money and being independent,” she said.
