This thread is very confusing to me. I don't really have a budget. I could spend 20K$ a month on the hobby without worrying... and yet I haven't spent any money on it this year... zero. At that level of spending, money has nothing to do with enjoying the hobby. Some ladies will charge an arm and a leg for your time, and - barring bragging rights for having been with a porn-star (a pretty sad line in my book), you are way better off trying a few ladies, and then being extra nice to the one(s) you like so that they return the favor, than to pay top dollars for someone who thinks they're worth a bazillion.
So, my advice, if you ever come into that kind of money. Just stay real and reward companions who make it worth your while, be open about your fantasies and enjoy life in the fast lane without getting fleeced. They say money cannot buy happiness, and I'd say there's a treshhold where that is also true for the hobby. Sample the city and be nice when you find the right partner - that's advice for both genuine relationships,
SB arrangements or ones you pay for by the hour.
TLDR: have money: don't be an asshole, enjoy life by rewarding ordinary gals instead of chasing models.
