I don't look at my payslips. I don't look at my bank statement. I don't know how much my rent is, or any of my bills really.
Someone recently asked me what my budget was for some trip and I looked at them blankly.
People either think I'm loaded, or that I'm totally broke. Sometimes they think I'm rich because they see me buying things without checking how much they cost and realise I don't think about money. Although because I am so oblivious to financial matters I also let people buy me things without the kind of polite protest expected from adults. I also don't always reciprocate. I'm trying to work on that but it seems so transactional. And I never expect anything back when I get someone something. Although this also has lead to me being taken advantage of.
Thankfully my partner takes care of these details. Even though I earn more than him I always have to ask him if I can have something (although I sometimes secretly order things online
). I prefer it this way. I think for the same reason I like people to buy me things, it's not about the money, if someone buys me something it creates a kind of power dynamic, I feel taken care of but also helpless and childlike.
Like many here I like to feel like a child, and a big part of that is not understanding finances and thinking they're silly grown up things. People are weird about that stuff and so I'm really grateful I can opt out. I realise this isn't practical for most, but this is probably the biggest part of my lifestyle that's little. But even if I wanted to I just don't think I could do financial management. It's so weird and iky for me!
So I guess I'm wondering if anyone else lives this way, or wishes they could. Does anyone else feel they just aren't capable of being grown-ups about finances? Does anyone else let someone control their finances as a kind of power exchange thing?
I wonder if you could get a sort of kinky account to spank you for spending too much video games.... just a thought.
