Speaking about how getting rich has affected her love life, Hilda Baci said:

HILDA BACI: I used to think I was in love with some people but the truth is I was confused by my brokeness. Now that I run multiple businesses and can solve all my financial needs, I can tell you for free that not all love is real love. Some love is actually just you running away from poverty. That's why I believe women's economic power is so important and financial independence is crucial for every woman. For me, it was the key that unlocked my dreams. It gave me the confidence to stand tall in rooms I would have once felt unwelcome in. Making my own money transformed love for me. It no longer became a necessity, but a choice. I love not out of need or dependency, but for the purest reasons free of conditions. The influence of my mother's example goes beyond personal milestone. Like how I have realized the most beautiful aspect of financial independence is the ripple effect it creates extending beyond individual achievements to nurture a community of empowered women. By embracing the path she demonstrated, I have been able to extend my hand back to those following in my footsteps empowering other women to see their worth and potential. In essence, what I'm trying to say is that financial independence isn't just crucial for a woman's freedom, it allows her to live, to love, to be. To live life on her own terms while giving other women the opportunity to do same. That I believe is the true essence of liberation.
