I've heard of prostitutes asking for the hat to be passed around at M&Gs to help some poor prostitute.  I read about the prostitutes begging for loans so they don't get kicked out of their apartments.

"I hate you. Don't leave me."

And most need a man to take care of them.

some just can't seem to resist the urge to spend.  But I know others who are paying off student loans (or graduating debt free) & saving for a rainy day.  
I think it's unfair to paint with a broad brush.

It's because this question falls into the category of "rhetorical question". It's like asking "why do you want to be rich/beautiful?" or "why do you like sex?" or "why are criminals in jail?"...

But what about the long time pros that have been at this game for years, and often decades.

It doesn't have to be that they manage their budget poorly. It's just means their income cannot cover their expenses.

There are a couple of possibilities here.  One is that only financially desperate ladies will agree to see you.  Another is that you prefer to patronize ladies who will negotiate their rates when financially desperate.  Bottom line, the answer probably lies within he who asks.

Maybe you don't read boards like this often.  I don't know, or perhaps your reading skills are limited?

Saucy little thing aren't you?  Kudos, though, for your use of 'ad hominem'.

1st off, SHIT HAPPENS...

you are amazing

The only reason we keep you around is that you are fun to laugh at.

some girls assume that they can do it forever and there is always be a revenue stream...that is not how the real world works unless you are a trust fund kid or own a perpetuity or navie sugar daddy from sa with really deep pockets willing to buy your sob stories...shit happens, one has to always plan for rainy day...

I simply have never made enough to support myself. I'm lucky if I see 1 client per week. At my rate that's just $1000 a month. I've been a escort for a decade , on and off. I've taken multiple years off while I was in a relationship and he didn't want me to escort. I also took time off while I attended college and I lived on campus. I've never been high volume, I just do this for the extra cash, but it's not enough extra cash to get ahead and save much.  
I just started back in this business 2 weeks ago after taking years off. I have not seen a client yet because I just had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder last weekend.
The reason I'm getting back into the business is to save money for gastric bypass surgery.

SBs are far worse IMO
 

amen sage!

If someone who is paid for his or her time discounts the rate, it becomes difficult to raise rates again with the customers who paid the lower rates. Another risk is attracting bottom feeders who only buy price.

In fact, I have dozens of fake Loubie knock-offs that I barter for free food at Red Lobster, Outback and Chili's.
It's Lobster month!  And Bloomin' Onion month!  Always!  Good eatz!
Thank god for Lipitor!

Do you think this jerk actually sees "prostitutes"? I'd say he gets his rocks off by uttering the word.

If you'd actually pay for the time you spend with them, they wouldn't have to hit you up for free food.  Duh!  LOL

  Why are so many of the prostitutes always in financial distress?  
     
  I surmise that most of the prostitutes are really poor money managers.  But I'm sure they have plenty of shoes.

I have incredible budget and money management skills, And a business.  

don't believe what you hear or read about and only half of what you see, let's hear about your personal experience with what you seem to consider lower life forms

and being a member of TER since 2005. I know you are a PYT and just can't imagine how the "old broads" make bank here but it's not that difficult if you know what you are doing. Rebranding ad knowing your niche and demographics of your client base. I did get into this world later than you obviously.  

I just got a text this morning that said, "Come See me. I miss you!"
Then a follow up text that said, "Honestly I could really use any type of contribution to my funds. I have $2 and don't know what to do."

This is what  think and I may be wrong , when you get in a relationship and stop working you start spending money from your saving account. Also a lot of us will not go and look for a job that pay minimum wage it just doesn't make sense to me to go to work and make the whole week what I can make in an hour . Also some escort I think saved money to open a business and the business didn't work at expected.
I am not going to mention Providers that spend all their money in drugs because I have never met one.  
But I don't think that all providers are broke some of them are really successful and have real estate and businesses. I think you have to be focused and know why you started this job on the first place and keep your goal in mind.

trying to confuse him with logic.  It will never register.  After all he is far from being overburdened with intelligence.

Now I'm jealous... lol.. what a great way to spend a Friday night in Paradise -eom-

Really good point.

are broke for the same reason most people are broke.  I work with may technically trained people in health care and they are under paid and often broke.  I often find an excuse to give money gifts to people who work with me because they are broke: a husband who has lost a job, a car break down.  
Somewhat higher up on the scale, many well paid professionals are, well into their thirties, still paying off usurous student loans (don't get me started on what thievery that is.) Unfortunately, many people simply do not make enough money to cover down turns or sudden expenses.  
I do know a number of providers who prepared well for their futures and are careful to put money away.  
I live in a wealthy neighborhood and many of our neighbors are professional athletes. Once of my daughters works with pro athletes.  It turns out that many of them, particular it seems pro basket ball players who earn more than the budget of a small country, often find themselves broke.
Finally I, a triple boarded physician, found myself scrambling after a divorce to try to hang on to my house as I had custody of my children and this was their home. I was traveling around the country giving well paid lectures in my "spare" time to keep the house and keep the kids in private school.  I limited all not needed spending and accepted speaking engagements all over the country often red eying it back so I could make work the next AM.  This went on for a few years.
Even Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy a few times.  
Any broke providers join a very large club.

she clearly stated that it seems you need prostitutes to take care of you. Psychological, get it? Not the money thing.

projecting your own thoughts and actions onto others you look down upon...  

but there is a more elaborate answer that is eloquently expressed in this tasteful educational bit of docu-drama:

Do you find yourself seeing many financially desperate ladies? Do you negotiate with them, recognizing their desperation? Are you part of the problem?

That's great and very true...  
Getting a decent amount of money (a few hours work and after expenses.. at least $600).. and maybe on the way home, the mood strikes and a stop is made somewhere and poof.. it's down by $300 and so on..

Not ALL men, or women such as myself prefer "fresh young meat" or providers under a certain age, my husband and i prefer the over 30 ladies because they are established, they are mature, the usually actually enjoy what they are doing as they are NOT only in it for the money, i want someone that can actually talk to me about more that just partying and or their next fix of whatever they are into.......and looks are not everything either, im more of a personality kinda girl.  

Thanks for the thoughtful post. You will get no argument from me.  

I give it an 8.5...

Both on appearance and performance.  

...and only gave it a 5.5...

Just like in the civvie world you have hot young women with low self esteem and daddy issues. lol

Huh??  He's NOT being serious?   Oh man...I'm duped yet again.

Oh, yes - to masturbate one's own grandiosity as a supreme being in the land of the trolls.

It isn't just a provider thing. Sad truth is most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have little or no money set up for life's little emergencies let alone a major one. This problem is exasperated when the money tends be feast or famine like sex work. And it is further exasperated by not having any form of health insurance as many sex workers among others just don't. This is true for most Americans sadly. I blame the fact a majority of states don't require any form of personal finance class so many are never taught how to live on a budget and plan for hardships. It isn't just a sexual service provider issue

...but there's some truth there.
