I entered this job with the notion of getting lots of cash so I can live  lavish not to get cash to pay rent, eat and that's it.  ??? :-\

In modern day economy, unless you are a CEO or just plain lucky, lavish isn't really in most people's cards. I'm willing to bet a lot of working girls here do a regular 'livable' wage only.

Personally, I'd rather pay my rent, eat and that's it with 10 hours of work a month than 40 a week.

ditto
why have cotton when you can have silk???

What do you class as a regular livable wage though

Im a bit like the poster above in that  when I started out I had the same thoughts of no point in doing this unless I was making a considerable amount of money

Now though im more relaxed but I still like to earn a good amount if im at home working then 2-3 a day on average but if im touring then I aim for double that and more but at the moment im dead by 8pm due to the all the  medication I have to take for my back and it wipes me out by 9pm ish

Bills and food covered, enough money to support a hobby, ability to save some, and maybe travel once in a while if you set money aside for it. That's the generic "livable" up here in Norway. Where I'm originally from, "livable" is bills and food paid, maybe able to save a little bit, but not much more than that. So yeah, it depends a bit, but it's by no means 'lavish'.

I think we all gotten into this with the "notion" of making big money. When you settle in this job and you see that no day is the same.. But bills etc stay the same or even worse rise.. Then you start to change tour mind. I like the job as its not stressfull, i work from home.. I get up when i want inbetween bookings i can go out or do some house work etc. For me its ok if i can cover my bills, do my monthly shopping of things that i want to buy either for my flat or myself, and have aside for a holiday. Im not fooling myself that i can buy a mansion.. Be realistic girls theres people out there who have real professions and give alot of effort in their jobs yet they dont make as much as some of us might in a day... Think about it and then complain

While I agree with the general gist of the sentiment, I don't feel it right to imply that whoring is somehow not a real profession, because it absolutely is. Please do not indirectly contribute to the dismissive attitude the general public has towards this job. :<

I wouldn't really want to buy a mansion myself. lol. I have been saving for a boob job for months now. You would think I would have been able to save enough money and get them done by whoring ages ago but that's just not the case. I think lavish was a bit of a strong word to use but was hoping people would get the gist of where I was coming from. Prostitution IS a real profession and we as prostitutes DO put a lot of effort into this job. I have thought about this over and over in my head and  my opinion would never change really  :( I'm only doing this for a short while, not going to make this my career so I would like to make as much money as I can. So just covering bills and food is not enough for me as I would not be doing this forever. I just don't want to look back and think "What did I get out of doing this?" oh yes, food ::) The only rent that I pay is for my working flat and I guess I was/and still am being a bit unrealistic? Don't know how to get out of this mindset. But just to reiterate I wasn't aiming or suggesting that I want enough money to buy a Bentley a 5 acre gated estate and a yacht. Just enough so that I don't feel as though I am barely getting by or just surviving or ticking over.  Someone please understand where I am coming from lool. ;) xx

It's just very quiet and all my friends are quiet too. If you are seeing three clients a day then you are doing well IMO.

I don't know what's happened this year but I think a lot of people are in the financial shit. I had hoped to make more than a 'living wage' from this too but I won't lie, if things do not pick up I will have to consider a part- time job as well.

I am changing the way I work though in a last ditch attempt at making more of a profit by getting a work flat in the new year and I will give it 6 months.

Over -saturation of working girls and a failing economy just does not equal profit.

I had 5 bookings yesterday and none today and I am in a hotel. I should have 2 tomorrow who are regulars but I won't hold my breath.

The season of good cheer, NOT  :-\

I don't want to just cover my food & bills I do want & expect certain luxuries probably more laid back now as im older and have done most of wanted to do

It's the opposite though  my friends all  3 of them have all been mega mega busy and they are all totally different in terms of looks & ages

Ive just started back after 2 months off ill with my back and leg and it was a quiet first 2 days but my aw add wasn't right then it went stupidly crazy busy

Do you think that a lot of escorts just rely on aw or that  they might  have overkilled an area by visting to much which is why they might go quiet

No you didnt understood me correctly and it might be down to the way i sometimes express my thoughts, yes this is a profession although many people think it cant be coz u dont need any experince or qualifications in order to start working, and yes i get upset over such statements like most of you on here will , but this are all words from people who doesnt know how much effort this job requires at times etc. Anyway back to what i said before... you better have some plans what you want to do next etc like some girls on here they are students etc, never say never as you might end up doing this for the rest of your life and still not knowing the reason why you r still doing it. Too much competition .. Less work.. Yes this happens to all.
And im just saying.. Maybe it sounds rude to you if it does sorry.. I just like to talk my mind i might be wrong for some things but thats why i am on this forum.. To listen what other girl think about a specific theme. Good luck though

WTF happened? I've just been ticking along on the bare minimum I'm happy with earning this last week and suddenly the weekend until tonight have been ridiculously busy, bouncing from booking to booking barely able to think in between!

Have they all been saving up for their Christmas treat or something? More of the same for the rest of the week please :D

Same here, it my first proper tour/ week back since I hurt my back and this thurs fri were quiet but I did have a problem with AT on AW and then sat & Sun were mental I could have done double if I wasn't so tired by 8pm
My phone was ringing through the night both nights

So glad to hear you are back working and starting to feel better Paris after your frightening experience the other month. I'm glad the punters missed you and are keeping you busy lol :-*

I think they are being extra careful with money with the lead up to Christmas.  I had one who wanted to book asking if he can pay me with aw credits.
