Being dominant doesn't automatically make you good with money. I'm sure there are plenty of relationships where the submissive is the one who manages the money. Right. A good dominant knows their strengths; for me, managing money is NOT one of them. I have complete financial control in our household, but I don't manage the money. He handles everything, including paying bills and investing. He doesn't buy anything without asking me for permission, but I spend freely, and buy whatever I want. I do, however, ask for his opinion MOST of the time, because he always has valuable input. Money = control to me, and I have always had a very skewed way of dealing with money and relationships. If I was courting a man, I wanted to pay for most things and have control that way - I was very much into the perception of the older, sophisticated corporate diva with the cute boytoy on her arm. I went through a sickeningly expensive phase in my late 20s shuttling boytoys all over the US on business trips with me, buying their clothes so I could "dress" them, etc. Luckily I grew out of that (but it was fun while it lasted). Having the money meant having control to me. Still, I do prefer to be the one working and my husband not working, because earning the money = having the choices. I make the money so it's my money at the end of the day. I also like having him free to devote his time and energy to taking care of my needs, not working for a living. Sometimes I do think life would be much more luxurious if he worked and I did not - but deep down, I am a career woman and a workaholic. Akasha
