If you are a sex worker do you contribute to your own retirement plan/pension? Or do you just wait and marry into money?

- Thread starter Willingham
- Start date
A certain percent of my monthly earnings go into savings/investments, and I plan to marry someone who also has good financial management skills.
I hope and expect that for the women who have a head on their shoulders - and that describes ALL independents that I've been corresponding with but it is also a biased sample - it's the former.
I've been able to save 30-50% of my earnings. And not that I am making that much (I am extremely part-time), but rather I believe in voluntary simplicity and never became the slave of the "lifestyle", don't own any $1,000 purses, etc. The only designer items I got were few and far in between, and I see them as an investment into first impressions on dinner dates and business meetings.

Ah, that matters too.
But good financial management skills and marrying into money are a bit different in my view.
Besides, I don't even know IF I will find a man I'd like to officially marry... But I would certainly never consider marrying FOR money - and I think a lot of SPs choose escorting because they are too independent to become wives or sugar babies to men they don't love.
They are completely different and that is exactly my point. A guy needs a LOT more than money to keep me interested...
I've already been the "trophy wife" once and would rather stay single than be a lap dog to a man who sees money as the answer to everything.
As the other ladies mentioned - live well beneath your means and invest well
In addition to saving and investing the money we have left after taxes, we do max out our RRSP's and pay into CPP as any other business does.
I would venture to guess that most of the independent ladies with a strong business sense are fiercly independent. If we choose to marry, it will likely be with an equally ambitious man (which does often correllate with higher socieoeconomic status). However, I reckon most of us cringe at the thought of 'being taken care of'. We are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves.

What about the burning desire to have children, which seems to hit almost all women by the time they are in their early 30's? Would you use a man, just to have a child and then tell him to get lost?
The majority of girls in this biz will make a little or a lot of money, party it away & end up with the same guy they thought they could escape. Or worse. Passive aggressive much?
