  Thousands. Don’t worry too much about the strippers. I assume most are getting the $600 per week. That ends July 31. TheIr desperation begins August 1. Assuming clubs are open by then, I expect a shift in the atmosphere.

  I've been moving pretty-much all my extra/disposable $$$ I have into the market - thus hard to know how much I've saved - in the past when I'd stop SCing for a while, I'd notice my bank-account swell and I could more easily tell how much I was saving, but now I don't keep that much in my bank-account b/f moving it over to the market.

  Savings and income have actually increased since the lockdown started (ignoring UI). Supplemental income is great.

  I’m in the same boat in that it’s all discretionary income outside of necessities and savings, so it’s whatever from my personal finance perspective. I’d much rather be able to spend it on clubbing than save it.

  After the divorce, I promised my children I would pay their student loans. The pandemic and club closings made it possible to pay off some of them ahead of time. Sorry for the dancers who missed the money, but I should have put my kids first a long time ago.

  Like the OP I’m old. All of my income is not only passive and completely disposable but is fortunately more than I could possibly spend at my advanced age. One of my three passions and pursuits in life has been drinking and whoring. Since I combine that with extensive travel it is difficult to break out what I haven’t been spending on drinking with loose women but it would easily be in five figures. I do worry about all the working women that I know around the world who aren’t able to earn anything. Most are or must be in desperate situations but I’ve only been able to get money to one and she is actually a cocktail waitress that I’ve known (intimately) for years. Her reply: “thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very, very much for your help”. Then she told me what she spent it on (in order) and I knew just how broke and desperate she had been: sanitary napkins, shampoo, soap, fabric conditioner, vitamins, toothpaste and lastly transportation home. Be grateful if you’re lucky enough to live in the USA and don’t let the progressives achieve their goal of destroying the country and what semblance of freedom remains.

  I’ve saved a good amount since clubs closed. I’ve got one daughter who will be a college freshman soon - and another in private high school. So that money won’t be unspent for long. I heard about those stimulus payments - but mine got lost in the mail! Lol!

  I’ve started a separate clubbing account and am building that up while things are closed. I’m going to splurge like there’s nI tomorrow when I get the chance

  I'd estimate I saved about $1400 on visits to local club, assuming 10 visits since then. Another $300 on my usual trip Memorial Day visit to a more extras friendly city. Another $500 on a longer Fourth of July excursion to an extras friendly city. Which is adds up to around $2200. Adding in another $200 less spent on gas during the same time, and $2400 less eating out, and other stuff I have probably cut my spending overall around $5000 in 3 months. Which kind of matches how much I have been able to reduce my debts and save during that same period.

  A couple hundred dollars, maybe a bit more, depending on dancers (not) encountered.

  I haven't been hitting up strip clubs much in the last couple years as I've spent more time doing the SB thing. Since COVID I haven't done any of that either but the costs seem to be about the same. I'm guessing I've saved $2,500 or so in the past 4 months. One interesting thing I've noticed is at least 2 of my old SBs are in new relationships so I guess they are looking for something.
