For those of you gentlemen who regularly see providers who charge $1k or more an hour, what do you do for a living?

Crytpo. Got lucky.  

Today I learned that what you do for a living is "deeply personal". So "deeply personal" that most high-earning professionals have public profiles detailing where they work and what they do.

On an anonymous blog where responding is optional??

Sure and I suppose some even want to link their comments and reviews from here to those profiles.

I feel the op doesnt fully understand the dynamics here.  

How do you properly budget to spend that much on entertainment?  If you are smart, you have your priorities which are not sex related.  Pay your bills, savings, time with family first.  Leftover, do whatever you want with.

Ask one of the many AI engines "what income is necessary to support a $1,000/month (or week?) discretionary habit." Throw in as many "knowns" as possible such as geographic location to establish likely mortgage/rent, other likely discretionary spending, number of dependents, etc... and you'll probably come up with a reasonable range. Then follow up with "what professions earn (that wage).

I actually agree with QB. Our occupations are more personal. If I am booking you, then I will share more about me, like what I do for a living. But on a public fuck board, I prefer not to share this with others.

OP hasn’t been here very long, but she has developed a habit of rudely responding to people who answer her questions. On top of that, she blurs her face in her ads but can’t understand why people want to maintain some sort of discretion or secrecy. It doesn’t really make sense if you ask me.

100% agree on budgeting with priorities in mind first. And, this will not be the same for everyone. Personally, I like to have double my annual income in the bank. In the event I get laid off, I know I have two years of salary to get me through what may be a rough patch. Also, my retirement money, which includes investments, needs to be enough for me to continue my current lifestyle and have funds for all the getting old expenses I will likely have to cover.

My clients come from all walks of life (really, it’s truly diverse) but those who see me often usually work in tech or law. I’m only speaking for myself, so this may reflect a Bay Area and New York bias.

I am not a high ender, only because I am new, and I guess I need to grow into this.

I may be totally off base but I think your intent was an indirect question about affordability, which is certainly a hot issue these days.  How do people starting off their careers afford to buy a house or condo in SF, LA or NYC, or for that matter survive financially,  There was a piece, highly controversial, by a money manager that claimed the new poverty level on the coast is $140K.  So, if you make under 140K you are not middle class or lower class you are downright poor.  My advice is to seek out a quality financial planner that can assist you reach your goals rather than asking a question to the mongers on this board.

Also--there are a lot of folks that stretch the truth.... just a little......Anonymity makes it very easy to inflate ones own self worth!

So my response was rude, but their comment wasn't? 🤣 I can be sarcastic and snarky just like everyone else. I'm not "rude" for matching energy.

To me, that’s a positive thing, as I’d genuinely like to see more people posting, so I truly welcome you. That said, it might be worth pausing to listen to some of the pushback you are receiving and reflecting on whether there is any merit in the critiques. That kind of self reflection can be valuable and often leads to growth, don't ya think?. Just my two cents.

I tell people what NOT to do.

I agree.  My financial advisor basically got me down to paying an additional bill every month.  The bill to me for my savings.  Then, whatever is leftover don't feel guilty when I spend it on whatever I want.

Sounds like someone need to work on their opsec ... hunh counselor?

I have not worked in a very long time.

I'm not even sure what you mean. I looked up opsec, and I got Operations Security. Are you saying you figured out I am a counselor? And, therefore, my security is bad? If you are, you are wrong. And, if you thought you figured it out after I said I didn't want to share it, posting it is pretty fucked up. But maybe I'm off base, because I'm just spit balling here trying to figure it out.

I’m guessing that OP is hoping to target that market so is thinking of if this is a form of market research as well as conversation starting.

A net worth exceeding $1 million (excluding primary residence) and annual income above 200k/year if single or 300K if married.

I was lucky enough to be in a rapidly growing area when I started my business. I remember a customer telling me in the early 80s  " he had seen the same thing in California and advised me to buy all the land I could " .  At the time I thought he was crazy. Lots of hard work and 7 day work weeks over 10+ years brought me success but at a price. Had I been in a different part of the US with a down or depressed economy It would have taken years longer to grow my business as fast as I did. A bit of luck and hard work made into a person living the American dream.            

Options trading.

I set aside a portion of my largest tenant’s monthly rent check to cover my hobby! However, I came from nothing as my father’s largest annual income was around $60k, so I am value oriented. I try to get a $1k experience for $400-700 per session! I have rarely forked out $1k for a session, but I’ve gotten $1k in value many times!

My clients are usually people in Engineering, tech, college professors, doctors, retires, plastic surgeons, real estate... often men that travel.

You know you don’t have to respond to questions you don’t want to answer, right?

He received similar advice as a 20-something and started buying up lots in scummy parts of town. 20yrs later those scummy areas were incredibly developed and he owned about ⅔ of the parking lots and about half of the garages in the downtown and financial districts. Had a real 'Hatfield and McCoy' type of beef with the other dude who owned pretty much everything else, which made for some lively stories and late night prowls. Also went for a vertical monopoly paradigm that kept him very competitive in that industry and since he had the equipment/man power and lots of contacts/relationships at the city/county/municipal level, he leveraged those for road and parking lot construction/maintenance gov't contracts. People lead fascinating lives....

I simply can't answer it because I don't spend the sum quoted on a single provider.

Don't expect love. ❤️  

Bees good, flies bad.  Old sayings cool, botched old sayings bad.  

My question is to the ladies who buy a one K pair of shoes or a coat, it’s not my thing personally.  
To each their own life is too short, do what makes you happy.
