    I haven't punted for close to 6 weeks now. Cost of living and the risk of a dud punt the main factors.

    Thank God the last punt
    was a decent one!

    I'm still across rosters but I'm finding a lack of diversity over the last couple of years.

    Still gutted I didn't get to experience Zara i think (Egyptian)? at no5 a few years back...

    To me the main sign that punting has slowed down is that I have been able to book K Rebecca on the same day or hours after the roster was published twice in a few days. Or perhaps she is not as popular as she used to be but I don’t think so

    REX airlines goes into insolvency, 610 jobs lost.

    This should have a significant flow on effect which would affect at least a small amount of punters.

    Definitely doing less. And not so much in the high end agencies like I used to as they just got too expensive. Even some Massage places become problematic when they ask for 230 for an hour and you don’t even know what the girl is going to offer as extra or even if she’s on her period.

    Just wait till they offer discounts we know for sure is bad. That may be soon coming.

    Similarly I noticed a couple of weeks back that after finishing a session with a well regarded Ginza girl and chatting to the reception guys she walked by reception 10mins later and clearly didn't have a follow-up booking.
    Maybe circumstantial or a short break but since I've been seeing her it has always been back to back, go go go, don't leave the room during her 8 hr roster ....

    Unfortunately, they stopped last week I think. They ran it for about 2 months.

    I wonder why - maybe historical data shows June/July are one of the slowest months, maybe it was a cost of living thing, or was it to get a more organised booking system going?

    I haven't punted for two and a half months now, to me there isn't the same value to it...I prefer to buy food and alcohol.

    I'm waiting to see the inflation figures tonight, if they're above the reserves forecast we're in for another rate hike next Tuesday.
    My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity.

    Not as popular as what people here make her out to be. I was able to book her within a few hours of the session time, the same day I saw her 2 times. That was in 2022/2023, and she already had glowing reviews back then.

    I had the same thought. She is tried and tested and besides her regulars, perhaps the punters are moving on. I think the hype is over by now. Same with some of the other previously quite popular and well reviewed girls.

    I'm kinda out too, have had a difficult year in my business and have tipped a bunch of money back in, and on top of that ATO is all over my ass.

    Cutting all sorts of shit to try to keep up with the bills.

    Feel sorry for you mate. How come the ATO is all over you? I hope you can get past this period smoothly without too much stress in the end

    Thanks. I own 2 businesses which do OK, but I don't earn enough to really start hiding it. So people below me don't pay the tax, and people above me don't pay the tax, so I pay all the tax.

    I had to downsize one of my businesses post-COVID and I was more focussed on recovering the business and I got behind on my BAS.

    I caught up a year, put in about $70k worth of tax, paid $38k off, and was going to stick the rest on a payment plan - but I got $27k in fines and penalties on top of my tax payable (which already included a $25k PAYG assessment).

    So I gotta get another 3 BAS in and pay them a shitload of money.

    so true. i haven’t punt much lately in past 3 months. Least i got some bit savings. even if i punt less i feel senseless, though i plan to use my taks return for my flight ticket to SE asia for a week and use my AL. stay in 3 star hotel near the beach 250week. Punt daily 2x cost 100. local food 100 week. so 1k spent. worth the value haha

    Much better value in other areas of life, I agree. Once you start being able to see the gain it's easy to maintain that rhythm.

    These girls are the victims of their own greed.
    The thrill is gone
    It's gone away for good
    Oh, the thrill is gone, baby
    It's gone away for good
    Someday, I know I'll be over it all, baby
    Just like I know a man should

    2 great points

    Sometimes we blind ourselves when we punt regularly without seeing what other things life has to offer. Sometimes just being able to enjoy a $10 KFC meal is bliss
