I would approach the question differently - and ask how how much discretionary income can you free up by revisiting where you are currently spending your cash. There is so much money that we leak on a weekly or monthly basis that could be better spent / invested elsewhere.

When I started out, I was probably spending $150 a week on hand jobs. Then I went on a private WL spree and was spending the current equivalent of a few thousand a month. That became unsustainable eventually - especially as I was quarantining funds from prying eyes at home.

I fell on that book I mentioned early on in punting Sugarbabes and it made me rethink a number of spending categories. I ended up free up a lot of cash flow by just not spending it on crap I did not need and by reducing wasteful spend in other categories. I now spend about $25-30k per annum on Sugarbabes. That's not on one girl. I feel like I'm fucking at least 15-20 different girls each year. I like the variety.

You have to figure out what you can free up and what you want to spend.
When asking the question about, how much someone would have to be spending on ML's/WL's before it would be worthwile to make the switch to SB's. I was hoping for an answer like - If you aren't prepared to spend at least $? per ?, then stick to punting. Intead you advise me to free up as much cash as I can.
It seems that your answer is that people should ignore what they currently spend on punting, don't try to put a base value on the SB experience, just free up as much cash as you can before joining in.
