Wow.... Such a polite individual. I haven't sworn or insulted you in the slightest I simply wondered if you had some basis to have such a differing point of view from the 'people in the know' so to speak.Quote:

Also I don't have asperger's. Plus I wouldn't use a developmental disorder as an insult type - quite a callous thing for someone to do as it shows a complete lack of respect for people who have to cope with such things in their daily life.Quote:

Some porn stars invest their earnings, others spend it, the assumption that they and those who escort or do both, are making good money is just that, you cannot know how much someone has benefited from one job without seeing the accounts for what is a career that may not last more than 10 years.Quote:

If you're bragging about the bank you bring in.... you're probably not bringing in the bank.
2) Income like the cam model is discussing is fleeting. A high rollers interests will change over time and your income will drop like a rock. It's not sustainable income over the long run.
3) Someone else raised the issue of Luxury Items? A gift bought by someone who'd rather have a Macy's charge on their account their wife won't question.
4) Someone else raised the issue of girls who charge $1K plus per hour. That seems like a lot, but they aren't working a 40 hour week. I don't have significant insight on escorting as it's not my cup of tea, but from what I see from the girls I know do it: on average most will only see 0-1 clients a week. That's not exactly retirement money.
Are there girls who make money and squander it? Sure. But even if they didn't, they still wouldn't have a huge cash reserve to draw on.
did u say invest? i hate to tell you this but i am here to tell you that 99.9 percent of porn performers don't know what an equity account is much less have any money in it.
