That is $455 per week on average.
Was it like about 2 FS per week? Well, in my home country back then I did similiar amount of punting action, its just the money spent is roughly four times less.Quote:

that kind of money on a punting habit is destined to become a rapid downhill spiral unless it represents less than about 5% of your post tax income..
That's about how much I spent! That one time I had 5 sessions in 7 days !!Quote:

This is pocket money lol.
I spend $300 per month on average. Usually 1 or 2 punts.
... about $390 a month ... that's 2 X FS (30mins) + 2 X nudemassage,
but I'm a stingey old b@st@rd...one a week
If you need to count, you can't afford it.

i find it more rewarding if you go less often. I use go 2-3 times a week, by the third night my dick hurts and its less exciting.
Couldn't agree more. That's the biggest problem..Quote:

In Average I'd say $200/week, which is not a small number considering I'm only making $1200 a week.. But then again, like bro Ahlungor mentioned, it's an addiction.. No intention of stopping, but the urge of getting more is always there.....
$$$$$$$$$$$$
I only go once a week, but my session durations have been slowly creeping up... Currently at $300 a week.
I got a big performance bonus this year which covers over half my annual punting budget, so I'm not too fussed for now.
Time and money create a bad habit- but its fun.
just 160aud/week
110 for the girl and 50 for the shop owner
I spend 5 million for cage space. :cool2:Quote:

Haven't punted since then, but it's hard to resist, especially being around all the places in Surry Hills...
If you really want to quit or drastically cut down on punting :Quote:

Just a thought

Depends which section of the forum you visit. If you read the AR or see too much of the roster, you will be tempted to punt. But if you stay on the general section to chill and chat only, you are fine. I havent punted for a long time.Quote:

I find if I'm coming home late, or have been out midweek, then thats often the trigger for popping in for a quick session, so not being able to financially afford it there and then makes a big difference.
I still enjoy reading and participating in the general section, but Bro RoyalFlush is correct, best to stay away from AR...
On my Sydney hunt in the last 2 days, $1,500 and still a day to go. Reason, ticking off all those lovely ladies I have read about in Sydney whilst being cold and starved of quality in Melbourne. Ginza, tick, 5Star tick, only MOC and 533 to go. I wonder if they offer extra soft seats on the plane back to Melbourne....
Am I the only one who is thinking of this in terms of rent/mortgage? :PQuote:

if you consider it a problem, talking about it might help..
in the past 2 years, I've probably averaged just a few dollars a month!
