    Good Subject and interesting to see how much people are spending

    Overall though what matters is - Did you enjoy yourself?
    Or looking back is it a case of - oh wow I should not have spent that much? Or I really did not enjoy?

    For me I punt when I want and feel like it, no set routine and a mix of ML and WL
    Only 3 or 4 average punts in 24, most of them fun and not sure on the total as I do not count

    Probably starting my Punting Year tomorrow, if I can find a good option

    2025 resolution - keep track of punting spent. I don't think i've crossed 10k for 2024.

    52 times 300 = 15_600 plus some rage holidays; probably, it would be more than 17_000 total in 2024

    I'm on about a 150k salary, spending about 6k on punts this year
    2024 ended up about ~$1.2k across like ~7 punts. Base salary $400k, does not factor cash bonus.

    I think 2025 might be similar or perhaps even smaller… I enjoy it much more these days than when I was visiting most in 2013 on my lowest base salary out of uni…

    Have you watched the Informer series on Vice (YouTube) ? They had a ex investment banker talking about cocaine binges and a whole heap of other crazy shit. Really interesting if you have the time and are interested.

    Just google "The Ex-Banker on Cocaine Binges & £600k Bonuses | Informer". It should be the first YouTube link with a dude wearing a mask. I'm certain these guys would have hooked up with a tonne of WL's.

    Yep, knew a guy socially a bit, he was open about his use of hookers and estimated his annual spend at between $80 - $120k (USD)

    Will give it a watch. It’s a bit of a stereotype though both here and in NY. Generally a lot of down to earth and competitive people who just like winning and want to make money.

    It has not translated into a change in my habits, and in fact punting has reduced meaningfully over the years and now it is a treat every 2 months or so.

    To each their own

    Hey brother Bull,


    Very impressive going up the corporate ladder, I will be retiring soon in the next few years and I'm on less than half of your base and I think I have been working very hard all my life............lol

    It's quite amazing how salary have grown and skyrocketed among the younger professionals especially in the fields of IT, Engineering and Finances.

    Good on you guys and happy punting.

    Cheers

    About $5-6 k although since prices are much higher it might be higher.

    That was March. I ended up on about 7.7k for the year which is only about 150 per week approx on average. I was having more civvie sex 2nd Half of 2024 so it petered off a bit and have started off in that vein so far.
