I own a business. Unlike, those who get a steady paycheck, I only hobby when business is good. Sometimes I can hobby every day of the week, while others I have to wait months to see a girl.

I do have to say this. If and when I do find a provider that I thuroughly enjoy and we clcik. I put her on the weekly budget and see her at least every week. I have postponed return trips with incredible girls only to find out that they moved on from the industry when I managed to scrounge up a couple dollars.

but they always say no.

So I have to pay it out of my ass.

and oh yeah, I do own my own business.

I like to get laid at least once a day, and since I get about 80% of my action via P4P I do hobby four or five days a week. Fortunately my finances allow me that little luxury.

Keep in mind my last "hobby" was casino gambling, this hobby is much, much cheaper. lol

getting rid of baggage = best way to free up funds.

Of course I can empathize with my still married bretheren, but I wish I had all the money back that my divorce cost.

But you know why divorce is so expensive?

Because it's worth it. lol

That's assuming you have any hard feelings over the cost of the divorce.  Either way, you're still doing better than your ex.  I can't imagine she entertains up to three young bucks a day.

hard feelings are for losers, as you so aptly stated "living well is the best revenge", and when you are living well you lose all desire for revenge.

and if she is entertaining three young bucks a day, that's three less young bucks I have to compete with for the young hotties. lol

I sucessfully abstain for 2 to 3 months, then lose control and do it twice in 1 week. Then I abstain again. Repeat ladies and ATF's get ticked off at me though. Like seeing an ATF once a year..
Otherwise is self-gratification, or some fake old sounding phone flirt bag.

Just wondering how everyone here affords this hobby, whether you are middle class and save every cent to pay for it, whether you are a millionaire, or whether you are retired.  How much do you make to be able to do this so often.  Or can you only afford to hobby once in a while?  For myself i work a full time job for my regular expenses and do consulting on the side to pay for this hobby.  I only hobby a few times a month.

I'm retired. I work a part time fun job. I have some disposable income.  I choose to spend it on the hobby. When stuff happens I may have to wait a few extra weeks but I eventually make more visits. I'm single and don't require much. I visit at least once a month occasionally twice. We all work it out one way or another.

I have established a habit of accruing for my hobby expenses on a daily basis-it is incredible how much money we spend on a daily basis-so I put in a minimum of $10 every day and increase the amount a couple times a week-that coupled with the occasional expense check, rebate check, etc... I am able to keep a fairly significant pool of hobby money in my Cash Accrual Account-Keep the money in cash-stash it some place that it will not be found and do no co-mingle hobby funds with regular money-the key is to build a stash and then add and replenish consantly-it requires a lot of discipline-but if you do that you will be fine!

lucky you.....i am on a once a month budget......which i occassionily exceed.   reminds me of that woody allen line from annie hall i think:

therapist to couple:   how often do you have sex?
wife:  all the time, once a week
husband:  hardly ever, once a week

I hobby when I have extra cash to spend.  I have a fix income stream as a professional but also have a business on the side (I rent out my vacation home).  I try to save at least $3K per month for retirement, but hoping to bump that up to $4K/month next year. I did a great deal of hobbying early this year until May, but I'm taking a rest this month and maybe next month.  Just came from Vegas blew some cash.  And I intend to spend some money for another vacation next month too.   So, my answer would be - go hobby if you have extra cash to spend, but I won't sacrifice my lifestyle (taking a vacation, enjoying life, driving nice cars, going out to eat good food) + saving for secure retirement when I'm 65.  When hobbying, sometimes a 30 minute session is enough for me (cheaper), knowing that some ladies in my area don't or can't do two pops for 1 hour sessions. I'm not much into talking, so 30 minutes is enough action sometimes.

Bravo.  Not gertting married is the smartest thing one can do.
See, you are a free man

I am working hard on my second divorce.  Not sure exactly what it'll cost.  But I know one thing for sure.  It will be cheaper than staying married.

Wouldn't have it any other way...

What, you've never done that?

way to down size in hobbying, and im sure this new hobby is much for fun for every one

Like someone else mentioned, I set aside money on a regular basis with which to hobby. I may supplement this amount further if I accomplish certain professional goals.  This is money that's as disposable as it gets.  I hobby with the full knowledge of the wife and we have transparency with the finances, so it's important that it never seems that I'm taking away from other areas.  The Hobby Fund accomplishes these goals: I get to hobby within my means and remain responsible to my primary obligations.  

....... go stand on a busy street corner or freeway exit.

Cats are cheaper than dogs!

Like an old friend of mine used to say:  "I have all the money I'll ever need.....Unless I want to buy  something."

I put a little aside every paycheck to have time for one encounter a month.  Also, that makes it more of a big deal for me - if I did it too much I wouldn't get as excited.  Besides, I have my own business so I can hide the expenses form the little lady.
