Normalize that She is not “too expensive” normalize that She is out of your budget.

Price is what someone charges.
Value is what someone is worth.

Sometimes a price may be higher or lower than what someone is worth. You only determine if you value Her enough that the price is worth it for Her. You do not determine Her value in general. If She is not in your budget, we understand that’s okay.

I have even worked with a submissive’s budget because they find Me worth it and vice versa. However, it’s rude to tell Her that Her value isn’t worth the price She charges, you do not determine Her value, you determine if Her value is worth it to you.
