I have come across a few dominants who say they can't 'afford' a fultime slave unless the slaves brings in $, and holds a 40 hr/week job.
This puzzles me, since for one, when a slave holds a 40hr/week job there is not much time to do other things. At the same time when a slave performs duties these duties dont need to be contracted with strangers, like a cleaning lady ($30 - $40/hr) , personal chef ($40/hr), handy man/plumber/electrician/painter ($40 - $75/hr), Yard maintenance ($25/hr), Doing laundry / dishes etc. so when a slave serves fulltime does the slave not save $ .......where is my logic going wrong?
Or do these dominants just want a slave who besides doing all the work also acts as an atm?
The whole point of such a relationship is for the Dominant and the sub/slave to grow together. In My experience, a sub/slave having a job gives them confidence and an independence that gives them a healthy self esteem. I have known and seen those who were kept and in the end, it was not healthy for them not to have a job. In this day and age of rising inflation here in the U.S. it is not always easy for a Dominant to support a sub/slave who runs up the bills when they have bills of Their Own. In My opinion, if I wanted to take care of someone else's bills, I would have kept My children at home. As an adult, the sub/slave should hold their own and provide for their own needs above and beyond the normal bills.
Regarding the services of cleaning the house and such, while working, I do My part within reason, but since when should a Dominant clean up after their subs/slaves? I personally do not care how many hours they work as long as they contribute to the bills they run up and provide for their own needs above and beyond the agreed upon situation.
On the otherhand, I have exposed Individuals claiming that they EXPECT their subs to have a substantial bankroll and have flat out refused to consider anyone who is "poor" in their eyes and THIS is a golddigger who has little or no experience in the lifestyle and is looking for a sugar sub....Such a person (and I've seen a few on this site) are predators to be leary of. THAT is one who is seeking an ATM.
An adult submissive should NOT expect to be supported if they are capable of working for they run up bills and expenses just as anyone else would and since the Dominant did not give birth to them, they are not fully responsible to carry their able bodies, unless They are wealthy and can afford to do so and that is the agreement.
In My world, My sub/slaves have their own bank accounts for they are responsible individuals, not children. They have an independence which helps their confidence, esteem and spirit. I do not control their money unless I am footing all of their bills which would tax those that are already established in the household. But I will not support a slacker who is selfish and inconsiderate.
