In this episode of The PayPig Chronicles, we explore one of the earliest and most revealing writings from the Your Money Slave blog, published in 2010 and titled A Thought About Being a Slave.
Through excerpts and commentary, we unpack the author’s internal conflict between desire and identity, submission and self-awareness. The discussion moves beyond erotic labels, diving deep into what truly defines a “money slave”: psychological vulnerability, the search for validation, and the emotional mechanics of giving up control.

By revisiting the origins of online financial submission, this episode exposes how personal introspection can sometimes illuminate the hidden architecture of modern findom.
