Ladies ready to retire or not?

[naughtygirl]

I was in the business about a year and a half before my reitrement was abruptly kicked into high gear. What was on my mind is, for the ladies who have been in the business or new to the biz. Are you ready financially, emotionally etc.. to retire today if needed. I myself was not financially prepared as best I could. Part two of the question, if all the money you make in a day is gone....can you live on a hell of alot less without the allure of money for sex taking over when you feel deprived? I was used to making close to $1000 a day, which is now pretty close to my monthly budget (which I manage on without feeling deprived). So long story short how do the ladies feel if this dispensable income was gone tomorrow? What would you do?

I have been retired a mere 5 months after 9 years in the biz...Financially it is very hard to go down in lifestyle....Emotionally it has been very easy..
I do miss my work and would go back any time but my new husband would not like it...

Well since I've been around a long time, it wouldn't hurt me to leave tomorrow (but it would mess up my latest goal). And as I've taken this money and invested it into other businesses and do have plans to open yet a few others (online), I would live pretty much as I do now, but there would be alot of things I wouldn't have to endure any longer, if I chose not to.

I think the best thing some of the new ladies could do is really save/invest their money into their futures when they decide the time is right for them to retire or should they have to leave abrubptly, as you did. Figure what exactly they'd like to do when they leave this business and make that their objective, so that way they're not feeling 100% deprived. One of the toughest things about leaving this business, is because we are accustomed to living a certain lifestyle, but at the same time I could trade it all away for other things.

I know there are quite a few responsible ladies on this board, that save and spend their money wisely, but some that don't and also unfortunately there are ladies in this business that have no control about being in this period. But for those that are, as I've stated before, if you're in this business and don't have objectives, then you're not in it for the right reasons.

Very well said. Planning for next move is essential. Although financially I took a hit, emotionally it was the perfect time for me, as family took on a new and more important role than money. I wish I had saved more in that short time but hindsight in 20/20. I still have the same plans as alway, they've just been delayed. It has been a good lesson over the last 3 years to live without immediate gratification which is such a trend, in North America especially. I will go to school, will get into business, I will make a lot of money legally so to speak. Just not today. Patience is the one thing I have learned in life. As mine has had several detours you have to ride out liike an ocean wave. Love to hear what more of the ladies think?

My BF still can't even get past the fact it's IN the PAST, so I could not SP forever and he still wouldn't like it. No Pleasing some people

Yes, I would be prepared to retire suddenly should the need arise.

I think the longer you do it for the harder it could become. I was doing this for a period of 8 months about 3 years ago, and I suddenly had to stop due to personal reasons. It took a little while to get used to working in a regular job and not having quite the same disposable income, but it was fine. And once I return back to warmer lands in October, it is unlikely I will continue in the industry.

It is extremely important to plan ahead and always save a good sum of your income, in case of anything happening. You never know what lies ahead

There is a difference between adjusting to a change in disposable income and lifestyle, and adjusting to a change of future plans.

For example, I could live for two years on my current savings, with a very minor hit to the lifestyle (my indulgences are few and far between) Add a regular job, and financially that becomes a non-issue.

On the other hand, I have 6 more years of full-time school in plans to get right where I want to be. If I were forced to retire tomorrow, it wouldn't hit my lifestyle - it would impact my ability to achieve my dreams. Of course, there are always student loans and part-time jobs - but that would make the path so much harder and less efficient. It may also lead to compromises I don't want to take in searching for research funding.

To me, escorting is about the ultimate luxury: pursuing precisely the path I want, which in normal circumstances would have put me on the edge of poverty for many, many years. And that luxury I am completely unwilling to give up.

He probably focuses on things like "I could not SP forever". To him... it is a slip of the tongue indicating that you just might possibly go back.

A fight, an argument, and suddenly he thinks things might happen behind his back.

I can see poor Ava always having this problem with whomever she 'has babies' with. Poor bastard would love the nympho sex but always be insecure that tempers would lead to other pursuits.

Some will write off the insecurity as a trust issue... but it runs deeper than that.

This remark reminds me of the old or should I say same mentality on this board at times. Do you feel better picking one word apart? I think you knew what I meant. Yes of course there are insecurity issues, trust issues, issues that run deeper, and even issues you have no idea about. An SP is capable of loving one person without them being a poor bastard.

Like many of the ladies have already said, a main (if not the main) reason to persue Escorting is for the disposable income to gun after whatever goal you have- for me this is school. I'v grown up not having much money to lavish myself with & I believe this has helped shape me into the oh so slightly prickly flower I am I'm frugal, but I indulge myself in life's simplicities. Now, I had planned on being in the buisness more then a mear eight months, but when family sercomstances popped up I took it as a que to jump ship early. Do I have all I need for school? Na but I'm ahead of the game atleast...I dance now as more of a realistic income for myself; sure the money isn't as good, but you really can't compare how earnings work & I believe that I atleast can have a bit more longevity as a dancer. Students are not forced persay into selling themselves. It's more a matter of being in such a comprimizing possition to be open enough to consider this means of financing. I could rant on & on, but the other ladies have also shared similar views as to why....it's simple; save save save cause the moneys not going to be coming in forever...just learn to cover your ass with whatever out plan you can cook up

I too thought I would have been in the business a little longer to kick start my education goals, but like you, life had different plans. I had enough saved for about a year, and had to plan from there. Life has been great and wouldn't change my choice in the least. When my twins are old enough, I can focus on me again. Thanks for sharing ladies.
