,,, and in return, the Family (etc) takes care of you.  It makes sure you're not sleeping in a cardboard box, it makes sure you can have clean clothes to wear, that you can bathe regularly.

Because the Don's wife?  She's not keen on riding the handlebars of your mostly-rust-and-duct-tape bicycle, leaning against your odorous unwashed body, while her matched set of custom Gucchi luggage bounces along in a dented and banged up kid's wagon towed by a length of ratty twine tied to your belt - no matter HOW trusted you are.  She'll flag down a random cab, first.

Actually, put like that, perhaps it might be better to link Made Man with Trust Fund than Day Job. Rather than an actual "trust fund," it's the Quo for your Quid... the bosses making sure you're looked after, and they'll probably do a better job of it than some Wage Slave's paycheck would.

After all, when's the last time you saw a Made Man wearing off-the-rack?
