Posted September 15, 2012 Yep! I budget about 10-15% for pleasurable pursuits, which includes the ladies, cigars, & scotch. I do not drink or smoke...leaves more roses for hobbying...at my age, the next one may be my last. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah, I did the math. It has added up fast, and I haven’t been doing this for very long. It got the guilt wheels spinning for a while, especially given the fact that I was out of work for a year. On the other hand, the cost seems pretty small for the amount of pleasure I’ve experienced. I might just be trying to justify it to myself, but I also took a look at what I had spent on regular dates for three months prior to beginning this little adventure. Now THAT was scary! Hell, if I rule out the option of celibacy, which I most certainly do, I might actually be saving money. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2012 I try not to think about it, actually. I started out figuring I'd do an hour or two a month to get by. Then I realized that having the company of women the likes of which I've never been anywhere near before is awesome. And I realized that I have no debt, no kids, my other hobbies are essentially free, and I didn't really want to die with a bunch of cash stacked up for some random asshole to end up with. So yeah... let's just say that at this rate, the women that grab my attention long term aren't going to have much trouble paying for college 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 15, 2012 Never budget for much of anything… But I would say if I had to, 3-5% seems about right 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2012 About 10% of net take home pay. Some months a little more some months a little less. I've learned restraint in my old age;) so the percentage has gone done from when I first discovered internet hobbying. ...Happy Hobbying... ...Crazy Horse... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2012 Banging hookers is sort of a form of sunk costs, so I like to keep the budget low. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2012 Guys, use your head - the one up top, not the little one. You busted a nut. Whether you paid $50 or $500 - you busted the same nut. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2012 ...You busted a nut. Whether you paid $50 or $500 - you busted the same nut. True! And I could do it for a lot less than that with youporn & a bottle of Jergens 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2012 no. not to sound economically reckless but i never have. i have a rough guess of what i've spent this year. i suppose i have a surplus that allows me to spend it on my hobbies, so to speak. in the end, i have no regrets! it is all priceless fun, pleasure, and great companionship! also being single, i'm lucky to only have accountability to myself with my finances and time. and seeing ladies to engage in naughty pleasure always brings a big smile on my face! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
