Unfortunately so many people seem to think because they see the hourly fee we are all making a fortune and the truth is it is not as busy as the punters think and we do not earn thousands and thousands a week. It has a lot of downsides too a lot of anxiety and having to be extra careful you do not take a booking off a nutter.
Yes this is too true. There are upsides to this (well there must be as wouldnt be doing this right?) but most clients seriously dont understand this work is far from easy and there is a cost for us emotionally. I have times I really struggle and like most people I think to myself 'think of the money' but what happens when work drys up? still struggling but no money coming in and also its all the extras you have to pay for like sexy underwear, toys, advertising etc and of course normal costs of living and that comes first so have to pay that before you can even try and save (if you are doing this for a specific reason) Been doing this full time now since July this year (been an WG on and off for a few years now) and I am nowhere near my saving target. Anyway, sorry bit of a rant there (sorry day slow so far lol)
Understand what you mean about the nutters too! horrible feeling when its been days without no work and the only kind you get are dodgy ones, I choose not to now but even in that moment you dont think no straight away.
Not everyone of course, but some people are just plain cruel and feed off other peoples stress and misery
Anyway, wish you a good weekend. Friday already! lol xx
