I am in the pocket of population that can hardly afford anything ever lol, but I find that it is the way it is- no point complaining about pricing, if you can pay, you play, if you can't pay, you quit the hobby, it really is that straight forward. Do I not wish that all SPs charge a "REASONABLE" $100 only per hour? Sure I do, but a fantasy is just that, fantasy...as the old saying goes: "Wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which hand gets full first."
Actually, since we're on this topic...and I mentioned $100 a hour...Surrey jewel's as close as I can find to match that fantasy with her great service and $140 per hour rate. Not sure how she's able to maintain that and still have such good attitude while other SPs charge twice/thrice that amount and still struggle for a living... In the end, everyone's got their own lifestyle, goals and wants/needs, so are entitled to price/pay whatever suit them best. For me $20 = a day worth of emal expense, for many on here $20 amounts to nothing but tips to their waiter. Similarly, while many SPs will sneer at $100 per hour (using that as an example), that amounts to one hard day of work for me. I think sooner or later it will just be like Vancouver's housing market- only the truly rich will be able to poon while the rest of us sit around and remember the good old days lol.
