What’s so bad about working into your 30s?

Earn more, spend less.

Earn more: Learn sales, upsell every sale you already sold, work more, don’t leave for the night til every dollar is gone. Ask for a tip, ask for another tip. I never say no to any $. If I’m dressed and leaving work and someone wants a dance, I stay and do it clothed. Realize that if you work an extra weekly “shitty tuesday” shift for a year, (let’s say 200$ shitty tuesday x 52 weeks in a year) is 10,400$ more in a year. Look for new opportunities. Take some risks; break some rules. Shut your mouth, be smart. Be private, say less. Look for different streams of income. I have like 5 I would say. All sexwork related but all different.

Spend less: Track your spending. Every single dollar. Spend as much physical cash as possible, when you can. Make budget, review it monthly. I am not materialistic which is just my nature. I don’t like shopping. But I love nice restaurants, so I have a lot “dinner daddies” so l don’t go out unless it’s paid for by a dude. Give every trick a role. Each one gets a small bill. Sometimes you don’t need a whale, you just need minions. lol

I have a crazy work ethic, like money is my drug lol. That and I’m very frugal, I don’t succumb to “lifestyle creep.” I combine “earn as much as you can month challenge” with “spend as little as possible month”. I don’t like to waste things, food, makeup, etc. I use every last drop. It gives me satisfaction to do that. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it actually gives me dopamine, so that helps lol.

Familiar yourself with FIRE: Financial independence retire early. There’s many subreddits. It’s a community.

With that being said know the different between “frugal” and “cheap”. Frugal is choosing to cook at home, cheap is not tipping the waitress when you go out to eat.

Frugal is shopping around for a good deal on getting your car fixed, cheap is not fixing it and having a bigger problem later. Same with your health. Don’t be cheap with your health.

That’s all I can think of for now but there’s a lot more to say.
