13th month coming up!
November 07, 2008 | 09:07AMDecember is coming and with it comes the much-awaited 13th-month pay!
I know a lot of men are just itching for that extra cash, and I know of some who are planning to indulge themselves with an expensive escort.
Before you do that, though, here is some financial advice: Settle all your other obligations before you yield to your vices. This means paying off your high-interest debts (including those astronomical credit card debts or personal loans), putting aside money for your family’s needs (like education), or adding up to your savings for your retirement, a new car, or a new house. There are many things to invest in before one splurges on paid companionship. If you are living in an apartment or you are commuting to work, you can put the money aside for a down payment.
I am already in the point of my life where many of my obligations are taken care of. But there are still a number of times that, after spending five-figures on a photo-shoot model, I felt a tinge of regret because I could have spent that money on something a bit more long-term. Or at least something that would last more than 3 hours. For example, I could have bought a new cell phone, or a new laptop, or a new stereo system for my car.
But, there is one other aspect that probably outweighs many of my materialistic wants. And it is the fact that we only live once. Some experiences would never repeat; some opportunities may never crop up again. I had once admitted to a handler that there are two celebrities that I wouldn’t mind spending the big bucks with. They were available once upon a time, and now they are not. I doubt if they will ever enter the trade again because they are both married with men far wealthier and far more good-looking than me.
And there are a couple of high-end escorts that have given me the best times of my life with experiences that, up to this very minute, still linger on in my memory.
In short, before you spend the big bucks on an escort, consider what you are also giving up. And if you do decide to spend the big bucks, milk the experience for whatever it’s worth and don’t look back with remorse.
