I wonder what percentage of hobbyists are so comfortable financially that they can play at will with no $$ concerns.
Perhaps by inheritance, owning a business, or prior hard work, working full time [or not at all] is their good fortune.
Although I make a comfortable income, full time work, traffic, and family demands leave me little free time or energy.

Not everyone has the disposable income I do.

But then I stay all cooped up in my hotel room growing my fingernails and taking large does of heroin.

I'm vehemently against sharing that info BUT;

Anyone with NO CONCERNS what-so-ever aren't going to engage in the risk factor that exists here.

While i do indeed own a business,if i were to run amok doing whatever the hell i please,with the resources avail. to me,the irresposible nature of those actions would soon render me a HOBO.

PRIORITIES brother. And sex is far down the ladder in importance. It is a luxery. NOT a must. A balance has to be achieved for all facets of my life to run smoothly and efficiently.

Guess my faculties are now BACK

I would spend ALL my money on providers! Live in a cardboard box so I could DATY until the day I DIE!
Besides I could always take a hot shower at a providers place.  Hmmm I'm starting to rethink this whole living arrangement I have now.

Money is no issue for a select few hobbyists. They do have other concerns that make discretion a critical factor when chosing a provider. My advice to you is size your hobbying so that it does not become a negative factor in your life.

I keep a fund that I put into every month.  When I have enough saved I go have some fun.  It is an addictive hobby, and not cheap, so set your priorities.  I've always thought that it is a good thing I haven't won the lottery, because I would probably spend it all on a national tour.

Priorities matter, but my ladder has only two steps and sex is one of them.

Not wealthy by far, but I appreciate the bang for my buck. If I am happy about the session days after it happened I consider it a great time.

I'm still doing OK, but I have to watch where the nickels and dimes go.

I enjoy the freedom now that I didn't have before the divorce, but I do long for those carefree days of spending what ever amount I wanted.

It's all balance.

If I had unlimited money and unlimited time, I'd probably throw the earth off of its axis, that is unless my body begins to go flakey on me.

you don't get wealthy by being generous.

the most generous clients are those from the middle class.

when talking to a girl, if a guy acts like money is "no object", that is because he's not planning on spending any.

when talking to another guy in the hobby, if a guy acts like money is "no object", that is because he is a pimp.

I agree on middle class.
Two things I go by. Never wanted any money until I had some. 90% of the guys bragging about there money have a lot less than you. I put in more hours than my employees at times. I believe in trying to be as good or better provider than the one I am with. I do not have a Chauffeur so I must be middle class.

people in history have also been the most generous.

My own personal financial situation began to improve dramatically when I gave my employees a 50% raise.  You might say "well, you were holding them back", but you'd be wrong.  My employees were already being paid slightly above the market.  

I reasoned (and risked) that if I raised salaries, I could grow the business with better people.  That year we did so well that I matched their 401(k) contributions dollar-for-dollar.  Since that time, we've grown from 30 to 400 employees and I've made the same match every year.

I'm not generous because I'm wealthy; I'm wealthy because I'm generous....and if you saw me walk down the street in my little backwater city you'd never know I had two nickels to rub together, because I enjoy the anonymity (hence the alias)
