I spent 30,000 on one stripper in 4 years......

So that like $7,500 a year. That's not terrible, I've seen a lot worse.

A stripper kept you out of trouble? Seems unlikely. Mine has me doing drugs, circumventing cops, getting high end hotels threatening to kick me out, and holding on for dear life while she drives high.

That's not bad. I'd say you got good value for your money.

I spent way more on my ex wife trying to keep her happy in the same period of time...

@John, really that's nothing much if you're talking about pot.

I'm not rich. I left out thousands in cover charges and the accursed one dollar tips, and birthday and Xmas gifts.
Pretty PL, compared to when I was younger.

It's all relative. Are you making $80k a year or more, then not so much a big deal, are you making $22k a year? Then it is a concern!!!

Like you eluded to, you probably would have blown it on something useless anyway so at least by spending it on her you're getting your rocks off!

So, 600 per month?

Not the cheapest hobby.

$7k plus a year average.....that's what people spend on serious hobbies, such as exotic/vintage sports car maintenance (you can always sell the car for more than you paid for it so it's just the upkeep that costs), guitar collecting or whatever. The only stone I would throw is if you considered it a waste, or found out you were gay!

Shit. I spent so much more than that on one girl.

Talk about a Pathetic Loser....

Keep it up and you will be shooting 85 before your 40th birthday

That's more than an entire year of jestie214's pre-tax janitor's salary!

Fast cash, fast cars, and fast women...lots of fun

My expenditures on my ATF over a 5 year period are an embarrassment in retrospect, but I don't regret it. For 3 1/2 to 4 years I was averaging $1000 a week. Things have changed and the disposable income is gone so; same woman; a few years older, but still gorgeous, and tomorrow she needs a hotel so I'll cover that and $50 will have to do.

Yeah. Sounds about right. In all the time I knew my ATF, I probably spent about 20K on just her, over about the same period.

*Definitely* worth it.

Well if you think you're getting good value for the money, Congrats!
Could have gotten married and divorced, lost half of your life savings and be paying child support so things could be worse. Neither scenario applies to me.

gawker, you're the only one on this board that doesn't make me feel like I spend too much on strippers.

The kind of trouble I see strip clubs keeping me out of is having legit affairs.

I probably spent around $800/mo on my ATF but we lived 240 miles apart so I only got over there once a month for a couple of days.

But I'm currently spending $15-20K a year on strippers. I'm not keeping a ledger, I just keep an eye on my bank accounts.

Average about once a week Shadow?

jester214 - Average 1 1/2 days a week.

Crazy ass guys going broke... This thread is joe approved!

If I didn't keep mrs sea on a leash i could see her doing something like this.

The fuck.In the three and a half years I've been with my future ex,that's chump change.

As I heard an older man say once - “life is for living”.

When you are 80 y/o, what would give you happier memories – the $$$ you saved not doing stuff or the stuff you actually got to do and enjoy? Thank about it.

Papi has the right philosophy. even if I die poor one day, it's been a helluva ride.

Depends on what you are getting for that $30k. If it was just spent in the club then I would say hell no not worth it. If she is taking good care of you outside the club then you are doing just fine.

Club girls are great hustlers. $600 a month is pretty easy for them to squeeze out of a lot of guys. I learned from experience and am much better at judging the ones that will take care of me OTC than I was in my youth.
