I'm fucked, like literally. Family going away on a months long holiday to see family and friends. I'm stuck with only my cat keeping tabs on me. Essentially a single guy again for a few months!

Lord help me, I can only imagine how much damage this is going to inflict on my bank account.

hahaha, good luck bro. I'm in the exact same shoes right now, except I'm here on business trip. I've been here since late July, and I have another 2 weeks or so to survive. I have to say, the bank account definitely doesn't look good. However, I do see it as an escape from my normal life since I have to go back. So I am going to enjoy it as much as I can. Not to gloat, but I saw 7 WLs in about 11 days, tomorrow will be the 8th.

Although you'll be free for months? That is a long time, you are probably gonna be tired of all the shops and WLs by then. lol. Cheers.

That is the way it sometimes is.
I stumbled on punting with MLs by accident, I was going to reputable proper genuine massage shops and one day shop was shut and I stumbled on Saigon Princess St Mary’s and I was off running.
Currently I justify punting by working OT as a balance to draw from. I was $1300 in arrears at one stage and now in front by $500.
I consider MLs as part of my psychological counselling service - called escapism- detached from reality - but the culmination of 50+ years of watching porn.
The wallets is important but so is your life - if you can’t reward yourself then you don’t have a life.,
God luck.

7 in 11 days, that's pretty full on bro. Glad you're making the most out of you're time here. Welcome to sunny Sydney!

Yeah, I think I'll try to busy myself with some activities. Self-improvement stuff like a course, get a second job, learn to cook some dishes, get a bonsai plant, maybe do something with the cat, I dunno. The possibilities are endless!

Get a secret 10k credit card and pay it off slowly so nothing major shows in your bank. I was in your shoes recently family was away 3 weeks but what I do is before hand save a secret pile of cash for WLs. Also you could sell some crap on ebay or amazon for some extra money to spend on the ladies. 3 months wow good luck.

Because I've been doing a fantastic job of keeping a tight lid on my punting for the last 6 months. Only had maybe 4 sessions in total. Now this is going to smash my record like a wrecking ball.

I second that. Don’t take anyone back to your home cos that cat will know and look at you with that guilty look. Also, there’s collars now that hide miniature 4K cameras …so punters beware lol.

I was at home alone for 10 days straight and the only way I avoided it was giving myself excuses using the no time or money thing. I need to practice guitar, I need to exercise, I need to do BJJ, I have my car rego renewal to pay, side hustle is busy blah blah.
I looked for every frigging excuse I could come up with. All BS mind you but it worked I guess.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I truly enjoy my time here in Sydney, you guys definitely have something special here.

Yea I try to do catch up on self improvement during time alone too. Maybe finish that book that I always wanna read, work out more, learn how to be productive using AI, so many possibilities! The world is your oyster!

Speaking of the excessive punting, I think you might go crazy for a bit in the beginning but I believe you will be able to pace yourself afterwards. I just punted my 8th time in 12 days, but this time it’s a return visit and I honestly think I’ll just keep her as a regular. She’s low volume, works a day or 2, so this should help me pace myself.

Cheers

I found my way to financial freedom through investing my money. Took me 2 years to hone in the skills, but absolutely life changing after I learned it. Punting funds all come from that pile now.

Damn, do you run any seminars or courses on how to do this?
I’ve been active in the Stockmarket for almost as long as I’ve been punting, 25 yrs. And for the past 18 months I haven’t made enough for a single handjob.

*not financial advise* The stock market has been a total disaster since 2021. S&P500 down 20+% last year and so is nasdaq. However, there are still ways to make money in it. To start, you have to pick a company with good underlying fundamentals. This is also called fundamental analysis.

Here is an example of many you can do. Take a look at a company's financial report, look for their free cash flow, if they are cash flow positive, then pit it against their total debt. The question you are asking here is do they have the availability to pay off their debt. If yes, then that's good. If not, then ask how long can they last until they run out of money? Let's say for a shitty company like Nikola, they only have enough cash to stay afloat for 6 more month. Then you know that within these 6 month, you would have to 1, do a stock offering that will dilute their shares, meaning stock going down, or 2, borrow more debt, which will put pressure on the bottom line with extra interest payments. So just by doing this simple and quick analysis, you know that this stock is gonna tank. And guess what, they just recently announce they will do a stock offering that will double the current shares outstanding, or in simple terms, a $2 stock will turn into $1 stock afterwards. When you have this kind of knowledge, then you probably won't invest in it and lose money.

*again, not financial advise, don't sue bro*

Out of interest, so you play with futures? Or just straight up buy/hold and sell?

I only do stocks and options. Currently, interest yields are also pretty good too in certain brokerage accounts. If you can earn 4.5% just on brokerage cash, then 40000 x 4.5% = 1800. And if each punt cost $300, your $1800 can allow you to do it 6 times.

BHP is 8.55% Woodside even higher 9.63% then add all the banks every year I get a nice payment from the tax office for franking credits and then twice a year dividends. Beats putting your money in the bank.

Yea, if you are going long with dividend stocks then you get to enjoy their handsome dividend yields. Instead of reinvesting the dividends, you can cash out once awhile to build your punting funds. Right on.

Set yourself some rules when you're on a budget. If you can, make sure to leave your phone at home/car and take cash with you especially when you're doing MLs as it's hard to control yourself when the extras unexpectedly pile up. I try to set myself to 10% of weekly income. I like to purposely restrict myself so that I can focus on goals to obtain more financial freedom to pursue this hobby further.

I’m already pretty bad going 3-4 times a week..

Good thing these shops don’t accept credit cards… if they did: id increase my credit limit and go everyday for a year. I’d be like Leo in The wolf of Wall Street spending his Amex card on “EJ Entertainment” and his dad yells at him about it.

Yea, these things take time to build. It never happens over night. But also never too late to start.

I remember when I was young and single, I would try saving up to 70% of every pay check and try to live on the other 30%. It was very very uncomfortable, but doable. Another thing that is helpful in building wealth is invest in yourself, especially when you are young. Spend the time and money to take a course or earn some kind of license. Then suddenly you can provide way more value and get better jobs/earn more.

I thought they do accept cards, but it comes with a hefty surcharge, like 5%-10%. 3-4 times a week on a regular basis in pretty insane tho haha.

Yeah. 3-4 times a week lately. BUT I do live within my means and I do the 50/20/30 rule. I still save money with every paycheque and I go see girls with the 30% wants money.

I highly recommend 50/20/30 rule.

Would you even want to use your credit card in one of those shops? I would be worried the card got skimmed. Also not a good idea to use a CC in a shop if your in a relationship or married. 3-4 times a week wow do you got any of your take home pay left after that?

Exactly right I take a portion of my dividends payments which are kept aside for punting and the SB and use all the franking credits to and the rest is reinvested. Also buy safe asx stocks lower and sell for a profit plus do my own online selling so I got financial freedom. I don't know how the guys on here with a regular job and no investments, punting 3 to 4 times a week are having any money left each week?

Don't know how other people do it. Investing money is truly a way to reach financial freedom for hobbies, especially when we have an expensive one. To me, it's actually better than picking up an extra shift of work, because it requires less time.

I've been working for myself more than a decade it beats a paid job and makes it much easier with the investing to afford punting and my regular sb. Working jobs that are low pay is just to hard with this hobby.

Yup. Saving money every fortnight and then investing it into something = wonderful passive income $$$$ to go out and have some fun with girls.

50/20/30 rule:

Each paycheque:

50% = Needs (bills, rent, food etc)

30% = Wants (iPhone 14 Pro, new shoes, fun with girls!)

20% = Save! (I usually save more than 20%, I also save all the money I didn’t use from the last paycheque.)

Plus: all the money I have invested, I take the interest I made from it and I use it as my extra money to “have fun with girls”
