Alright, I'll have a go at this. This has been addressed in the past, but usually as an aspect of conversation that has ebbed and flowed around one of the many "money" threads. I am using the universal "you" here, and this is not directed at anthrosub, personally. It depends on the situation. I use a contract, and that is part of what is covered. A percentage of income is put aside into a savings account of some sort. If there is a retirement plan of some sort that is in place, and being added to by payroll deduction, I do not touch it, and I insist that it continue to be added to. If there are other liquid assets to be considerd, perhaps from the sale of a home, a decision is reached regarding those funds via private negotiation. OTOH, I try to make it very clear in My profile that a boy should be reasonably prepared to enter into an "owned property" sort of relationship, if he is seriously looking. I am amazed at how many aren't. For example, if a boy purchased a Lexus last year, I am not fond of the idea of taking on his $400 or $500 per month payments for the next several years. Whether you like it or not, part of your value as a slave is your ability to make My life more comfortable. Expensive cars, boats, motorcycles, SUVs or trucks, pricey gym memberships, rounds of golf several times a week, and those ski vacations you just can't live without, thousands of dollars in credit cards bills, and bragging rights to your custom made dress shirts do little to impress Me. (Yes, I have had that!) Unless you are already independently wealthy, if you wish to serve Me, part of your service and submission does not include your platinum credit card with a $12,000 balance. If you are independently wealthy, then the bill be be paid off and the card will be in My control. How about them apples? I do take a very careful look at a budget. You might be surprised at how many boys really don't have one. They eat out most nights, go to the football games or watch them in the sports bars with their buddies, often are not available for a phone conversation because they are taking a long weekend vacation, and any other number of reasons why the money constantly flows out. These are the boys (so many of them) that give Me pause. Are they really ready to serve? To give it all up? I am not going to make someone a prisoner, or refuse any form of entertainment for the rest of their lives, but there are a lot fo boys out there living a pretty free and easy lifestyle who claim they want to be "owned". I am not so sure about that! Although it is not the intent to look down the road and think that this relationship is going to end at some point, chances are it could. So a boy should be thinking about his future. You will have a car and a job, your retirement plan and, most likely, a larger amount of immediately accessible funds, if you end up hitting the street. As to retirement, same thing. I am in the same boat. I have already scaled back My lifestyle. I am not as attached to, nor do I need "things". Want a giggle? I have been turned down as a potential Domina, more than once, as soon as the boy realized I do not drive a Mercedes, and I no longer live in a 5000 square foot home. Hmmmmm....makes ya think, doesn't it?
