“I\u2019d rather not discuss my finances with anyone as it is a personal matter. However, as it is blatantly obvious that I am not, by any means,\u00a0poor<\/em>, I will say this:\u00a0<\/p>\n "Both of my parents come from rich families and have their own inheritances. Both have careers at which they work very hard at and do a very good job. Both my father and my mother routinely receive gifts of cash from various sources. They also donate a very sizable amount to each charity that they sponsor. And more.<\/p>\n "That said, I come from a rich family. I also have inheritances. My parents have set up a savings account for me, which they continue to put funds into. These are funds that I do not touch; even the ones that I have access to. It is certain that I will\u2026 barring some bizarre circumstances, of course\u2026 never have to worry, financially speaking, for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n "\u2026I am very much like my parents in many ways, including working. The money that I spend is all money that I have\u00a0earned<\/em> in my work \u00a0as a detective, or related to such. Unlike many of my colleagues, I\u00a0do<\/em> charge for my services. Every time. Of course, I am more than willing to work with those who have need but not the ability to pay, but even then I do expect a fair trade of time or service for what I do. What \u201cfair trade\u201d is depends entirely on their situation, but it must be worth both of our time and efforts for a healthy professional relationship.<\/p>\n "So, each month I send out invoices for monthly retainers and hourly charges, including expense reports for the work that I do for them. \u00a0I also receive checks for magazine, newspaper, and televised interviews. I am not paid for my work with the police force as it is considered an internship, but I certainly benefit from such a relationship. All of these often come with bonuses when I\u2019ve done my job well.<\/p>\n "And that is, primarily, where the plane tickets come from so that I can travel back and forth between my parents at any given time. It\u2019s also how I purchased my car, how I afford such fine clothing, and am able to rent out hotel rooms whenever there is a need.<\/p>\n "Best of all, I\u2019m able to make my own charitable contributions to causes that I deem appropriate. These I am careful about, as I know from personal experience how easy it is to turn nice, considerable people into horribly controlling monsters when they know that there are financial avenues to be tapped.<\/p>\n "\u2026I tend to reserve it for criminals, honestly, who have a desperate situation that they cannot attend to while serving their sentences. But, ah, don\u2019t spread that information around\u2026 I\u2019m not certain how my colleagues would take it. I just cannot stand the thought of a family, for example, now without a father and breadwinner at home, unable to feed their children because he made a huge mistake. They shouldn\u2019t have to suffer. Thus, assigned a caseworker and a budget for a couple of months\u2026 Groceries, a nanny perhaps, so that the mother can find employment\u2026<\/p>\n "God, I\u2019m turning into my parents.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “I\u2019d rather not discuss my finances with anyone as it is a personal matter.
