+Financial dates vary widely based on location, the sugar mummy's income, and the nature of the relationship. Typical ranges can be anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+ per month, but focus on finding someone whose support aligns with your actual needs rather than maximum amounts.
How do I know if someone is genuine?
+Genuine sugar mummies will verify their identity through video calls, have consistent stories about their life, never ask for money upfront, and are willing to meet in public first. They'll also have realistic expectations and won't pressure you into uncomfortable situations.
Can sugar relationships become romantic?

What if I want to end the relationship?
