Current research indicates that people derive more satisfaction from purchasing experiences than purchasing items. Scho is on the cutting edge.

I love to travel, eat at fantastic restaurants, sleep with hot escorts, play great golf courses, smoke expensive PG cigars, have nice shoes and watches, hang with best friends, swim at beach or pool, drink good liquor-wine-beer and go to my pro team's sporting events.

I don't collect memorabilia, don't buy sports jerseys, don't have more than two pairs of sneakers at a time, I buy my clothes on sale or at places like Burlington Coat Factory, haven't had to wear a suit in over 20 years and don't own a single tie anymore, don't have toys like Seadoos or four wheelers, don't own any RVs or campers or boats, have a very nice car 2011 Hyundai Genesis 4.8 sedan that was $44,800 sticker price for previous owner but got it for a steal at $17,985 in PERFECT shape with just 53,000 miles last year, don't have any hobbies like stamp or coin collecting or photography, no XBOX or video games or stuff like that, no musical instruments as I have ZERO ability, no tools or fancy car shit, no massive audiophile equipment, no kids and no wives ever.

You can always replace "things" but hard to create a great experience without experiencing it firsthand.

I just can't believe more people don't go the escort route. If people really did the math on how much they are payingfor sex or lack there of they would be changing their tune.

My signature says it all......

I can't imagine the thought of knocking up some women after a short time, getting married, then shortly thereafter getting a divorce and then you are on the hook for 16 or 17 years of child support and probably some alimony. That is like a prison sentence!

If you go on 2 or 3 dates with a decent new woman in 80% of most US cities, you will be around $300-$500 in expenses before you get into the promised land.

Worse yet, if you go on a lot of FIRST DATES that don't work out, you will be spending a SHIT LOAD of money and going home to jerkoff after each.

Escorts to me are efficient, guaranteed, pretty and very hot in many cases, fun to be with, treat me nice, I get to try new ones and a vast variety, and I leave with no obligations!

If I may ask, how do you know they're not a police trap? I've seen a fair number of TV shows about police stings, and they never seem to end well for the customer.

I'd buy stock in that. It would likely be the most stable dividend provider in the whole market.

You are paying for the time the sex is free.

Brilliant as it is, I thought that wasn't an allowable defense.

Several ways:
1. I don't use Backpage or Craigslist as they are the prime areas for police stings, ripoffs, bait and switch, plus just bad shit
2. I use verified services that ensure with about 99% certainty that they are not LE
3. When the pictures are real hot with the women also real young, plus fully clothed, 99% they are LE
4. Most REAL escorts have websites with a gallery of photos being in various stages of undress with their faces obscured or blurred.
5. No online reputation or reviews or ratings for an escort is a sure fire way to spot LE traps.
6. They rarely charge the Johns unless they are trying to make a point. It seems most of the time it's guys who get popped at Asian Massage Parlors that they publish names. Costs are minimal and charges not horrible, just embarrassing for many guys.
7. Last but the easiest way to spot LE is they set up an ad with SUPER hot women and their prices don't match their hotness, like a price of $200-$250 an hour for a woman or girl who is an 8. They are also fully clothed.

There was a big sting in Northern VA about 5-6 years ago with the agency I was using and it took a lot of woman out of the market for a good while. The owners were Nigerian guys out of Miami who got charged with Federal Tax Evasion and Money Laundering as the main charge, not promoting prostitution. I heard because too many powerful people from DC and the area were clients.

Hope that helps explain.

When you're 53 they work just fine. Not all of them are saggy.

NSFW-this is one I was with around 5 years ago. She was awesome and only around 4' 10" . Got me to pop three times in an hour.

#1 on your list is quite attractive, and she uses the word 'erudite' in her profile. I think she would be fun to hang around with.

I don't know enough about the rest of the story to say if the guy ate poorly and that hastened his demise.

...but you are paying them to spend time with you. No thanks.

About 3 months after burying his Father In Law, his wife went over to check on her Mom since she hadn't heard from her for a couple of days and found her dead.

He lamented how they had lived so frugally, sent their kids to college, and saved wisely so they could enjoy retirement and never got the chance to. What was worse was watching how the kids fought over dispersal of the estate.

Sometimes even if you make the best plans it still doesn't mean everything will turn out like you plan. You still have to plan for retirement but don't forget to enjoy your life along the way.

I could make more money than what I do, but at age 37 I spend an hour or 2 home a day working and than head to my gym for a few hours and workout while Im "working" there. So I have about 20 hours a week on the clock and my wife about 25 helping with the businesses. Id say we are upper middle class by Midwest standards. We never have to pinch pennies and have a ton of free time to enjoy life. It is a perfect setup because you never know what day will be your last.
