I will support my slave in her career if she desires to have one. I will make sure that our lifestyle allows her to further herself in her career if it is emotionally or psychologically meaningful to her. If she prefers serving me as her full-time occupation, I have adequate means to financially support both of us. It is likely better, both financially and for our dynamic, for me to work a few hours extra each week and have my slave spend time she might have worked commercially instead relieving some of my domestic or business concerns.
Avoiding third-party employment allows for complete immersion in the authority dynamic. A slave’s role is strongly reinforced by directly serving her Master; time devoted to outside employment is only desirable if it is for personal educational, psychological, intellectual, and/or emotional enrichment. The requirements and constraints of an employer may compete with those of her Master, causing cognitive dissonance for the slave. In my opinion, psychological tranquility should be maximized once basic needs are met.
The Master is expected to address the ongoing needs of the slave as well as the slave’s long-term security. As everything a slave is and does belongs to her Master, if a slave does take outside employment for any reason, then any new financial gains (after adequate future savings) will be used to fund her lifestyle. While long-term financial security must be addressed for the slave, an ongoing perception of independent property ownership is dissonant to a slave mentality. My slave will keep all assets she had prior to serving me. If she is employed by someone else, she will contribute two-thirds of her income to her retirement accounts; in 2020, the combined maximum annual saving for IRA and 401k is $25,500. After retirement account contributions are maximized, half of her income will be saved and the other half used for her costs of living.
If my slave works for me professionally, I will fund retirement accounts for her. I believe saving for the future is very important; I will make sure she has adequate provisions for her future in the event that we were to part.
