Not looking for audited financials here, just a ballpark amount.  

I find they all have problems when you first meet them that you have to corrected.      They appreciate the help and it comes back to you.    2 SB 4 times a month each and 1 will stay days if required and I can visit her place trips etc..

Meeting my first two POT SBs this week. If I figure expenses/food, drink, entertainment, room and then "sugar for her" of 300-500 it definitely adds up, more than I would spend on a pro. Hopefully the complete experience will outweigh the extra cost compared to the clocks running time with providers. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy and still see providers, just expanding my horizons.

This gives me female company 3-5 days/nights a week.

Between hotel and Sugar, mine is about 500-600 per month for 1 visit. Because I'm attached and can only see SBs during the day, the hotel expenses are what really kill me bc if I want to meet an SB near me between 11a-2p, there are no hotel day rooms available and I usually have to rent the room for 2 nights to have it available when I need it.

Not being critical but that does hurt the wallet when you add it up.  Like you, I am married and have to watch when and where I can play.  Right now, I travel a lot to one city so I have my "hotel" covered.  I use Airbnb and get better than hotel rates and stay at apartment buildings, but then again I am there for 4-5 days.  

I agree, it's not the optimal solution... but it's been the best I can do.  

Many of my SB's live a good hundred miles from me. I try to see both a hooker and then an SB either on my way to or from my trips to Dallas. I sometimes spend the night which works out fine, but some SB's can only spend a short time with me and I hate spending about half as much for the room as I do "sugar" for my babe. One girl in particular can only spend a couple of hours with me, I typically give her $300, but then I have to spring for another buck and a half to rent a hotel room for us to play in for those two hours. I'd rather give her the extra money, but she's only 18, and a student, without her own place to "host".

I prefer girls who can host to avoid the hotel cost too and agree with GaG on not staying in shit hole even for a few hours.

I agree with the pain of hotel costs. I have a huge advantage in several ways:  

There are plenty of bars, restaurants etc within a mile or two to meet publicly, "just in case" she is a catfish, BSC or both.  

not since I bought the RV. I know I've been teased about this in the past and I realize most guys here are married with unsupportive wives. Even so, couldn't you sell the idea of an RV to your wife or SO? and if you don't want her or the nosey neighbors to know when you are driving it, you could store it at an RV lot or elsewhere. I have found that nearly 100% of the SBs are delighted with meeting me in the RV, and some of the pros like it as well.

By pure coincidence, I think I just nailed down a new POT today who can host. 23, pics look good with rockin' body, and the $$ has been negotiated. All that's left now is meet and greet, hopefully later this week.  

I could be wrong, but I think the only person who ribbed you was Z, and he "tried" to give everyone shit who didn't play the Sugar World the way he thought it should be played.

Depends on day and location.     points for extra days.      Old hotels but usually clean
