This is a very good question. I don't have all the answers. However, this is what I feel is part of the Master/slave relationship. As part of a 24/7 relationship, I expect to have control over the finances of the household. I pay the bills, I manage the accounts, I make the decisions (but I do not have a problem listening to slaves who are more adept at finances than I. They will learn to present ideas to me respectfully!). Thus, I would expect to be named on all accounts. This includes assets AND debts. I do not expect the slave to hand over their entire paycheck for me to put into my account. They will have their own accounts, but I will have access and manage them, giving them an allowance and such. But, this doesn’t address your question of long-term financial care. If I am not married to the slave, I would expect them to work outside the home, or own a business. They must have a job that: 1) Has retirement benefits. I would direct their investments. A minimum of 10% of their pay will go into that fund (this is above whatever the employer will contribute for them.) 2) Provides health care benefits. Dental and vision would be nice as well. This is especially true if they have children. In addition, I would direct short term savings (a simple savings account) and longer term savings (temporary investments, but not like a 401k). If the job did not offer life insurance, I would make sure this happens. Two policies, if at all possible, would be taken out, one for me and one for his or her children. The funeral expenses would come out of mine. A Will would be drawn up, stating what he or she wished to do with their estate upon their death (no, it doesn’t automatically all go to me). Specific funeral arrangements would be stated (these can vary from religion to religion). Also, items like a Living Will and such would be drawn up. I would be named the executor of his or her estate. This is to make sure that his or her family receives all that is due them. Especially for his or her children…if they are young, we could direct, in his or her will, that the life insurance they receive be put into a college or trust fund. I would probably keep all the lifestyle related items, unless it is specified otherwise in the will. If the 24/7 is clearly going to be for a lifetime, I would expect to care for him or her as I would any member of my family. If this means being named Legal Guardian or given Power of Attorney at some point, this will be done. All of the above will be done in the spirit of providing what’s best for the slave, not as a way for me to pervert the finances of the relationship.. Fire
