If you have been in this industry a long time and earnt some good money and have no savings something is very wrong.

If you have been in the industry a long time and do not earn enough to save anything then no point doing this job in my view anyway with the risks and hassle it brings.

Coronavirus or not anything can happen at any time to put you out of work for a period of time so saving when you earn ok or good is the only way to protect yourself if you need time off when self employed.

I have been working in this industry for ten years, ans I have always made alot. However, I also have children and debts, so no, I haven't put savings aside. I wish it was as easy as you're making it out.

Exactly THE LAST TIME spot on.

I have debts too and thousands on bad previous business shut down so i know all about debts. But everyone is different and some people are just not good with saving. I have had past working escort friends that have earnt a lot of money over a long period of time and wasted most of it even though they could have saved lots i do think there is a lot of escorts that do struggle with managing there money it is just the way it is, seen lots who have earned more then me have less pay out then me but still cannot save money and then ask to borrow money off me because they have spent it all even though they earnt more and worked more then me.

I am not making out it is easy for everyone, it would only be easy for people that earnt enough to pay all living costs and whatever they had left they save some of that and do not touch it unless emergency but i understand that everyone is different and a lot just struggle to do that.

I have a working girl friend that makes about 1500 a week and her outgoings are low and she just cannot save more then a £100 from it as soon as it is in her hand it must be spent then when has a bad week is panicking so that is how she chooses to live.

With the best will in the world EG, the above applies to everybody with an income of any kind and not just sex workers; as others have taken up their time to point out, everybody's circumstances are different and some people have outgoings which they've been stuck with through no fault of their own - illness, being dropped in the shit by an partner, or whatever. And plenty of people in civvy jobs just piss their money away too, which is their choice and no-one elses.

It's also nothing to do with this thread, so we'll get back on topic now. I ought to point out that my post was more to do with things are are realistic for everybody, like adding a couple of cheap tins or a bag of pasta to the shopping each week, not setting up some giant slush fund so we can all put our feet up and take a month off whenever we like .


EDIT: cross posted with post that was finally back on topic

I think sooner or later people will be in a state of panic.

I am thinking about how I can protect myself while escorting? Are any others taking precautions?

The only way to protect yourself is to isolate yourself. Otherwise, handwashing and general good hygiene. No panic here until a few million have it and/or the fatality rate increases, and even then it will be more the practical/social aspects that would worry me.

Of the circa 100,000 people globally who've had it, about half have already recovered.

I do think however that the human condition doesn't change irrespective of pandemics there will always be clients who are solvent and there will always be those who are in need of our service to cheer themselves along.  There are also those clients who won't be swayed by the pandemic at all and will act quite rational.  In addition some clients will always take more risks especially the younger ones.

Given we have those four types above I don't think we should be majorly affected if we have a positive outlook and keep our blogs ratings and photos up to date and our availability is good.
