Posted June 24, 2021 I continue to be amazed by the thoughtfulness that many of the ladies put into their futures.  Some others not so much, but one things for sure, the likelihood of being a SW forever is pretty damn low!  Someone should start a hedge fund for the ladies... lol kidding of course. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The likelihood of anyone being anything forever is pretty damn low. đ People change career paths all the time. Retire from one thing and move on to another. Its not like people stay in one job for 30 years anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you consider being a Companion A lowly profession?  Hedge fund for ladies -and not to take from the dear ladies please. I will join that platform! If it is honest and fairđĽ°đĽ° Hedge Funds are insane! Please I hope nobodyâs Busness is caught up in needing to pay back a hedge fund. Which is equivalent to that of a mob! Yes I will also put Congress in with that group too. After taking out Parent Student loans on my daughter for her BS degree! Damn straight 52 K is what I paid back and NO sir! You canât claim student loans on your bankruptcy! -Thank goodness I have never had to travel down the bankruptcy road ever in life. I am only saying, is please for the love of Jesus  donât damn donât EVER get involved with a loan shark/hedge fund  group business people! What also sucks is you know that huge  amount of money I just told you about? I had to refi my home to pay it off and could only claim it one year on my taxes. One and only one year. This last year I Claimed my surgeries. My surgery expenses Dont even come close to what I paid on my daughter. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me clarify Sparkey, it's not as common as it once was. There are a lot these days that aren't. My point being to shy guy is it could be said for many professions not just SWs. I get he was being funny but reality check is someone should start a hedge fund for a lot of these clients. Many are paycheck to paycheck and not anymore financially stable than a lot of SWs.

Posted June 24, 2021 Prior to my retirement I tried to let my clients know I wouldnât be around. You donât necessarily want to contact clients without them initiating first though, so I posted my ad/ announcement a lot that month. While this is ideal they may have just had to quit sooner. There are many reasons this could be. There are special clients I wasnât able to communicate with before retirement and it bums me out to this day. Donât take it personally. Lives are complex and sometimes people need to set boundaries. For me it was a monogamous relationship where my hobby was a non-starter. Perhaps they had to make similar decisions quickly. Iâm sure they cherish the memories of the positive experiences. I know I do for my clients â¤ď¸ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
