After reading various posts, I got to throw this out there. How do some of you guys do it? I swear it's just like some mongers got money coming out of their ass! Especially those who go AMPs multiple times a week. For me I try and spend $40 to $60 a week just bar hopping. And maybe Visit a AMP on a special occasion. But other then that I try and limit my spending as much as possible. So like I said how do some of you guys do it?

[QUOTE=ElPayaso;3955545]I 'could' go once a week if I wanted. But honestly I need that $200 into my Roth IRA as well.[/QUOTE]First of all, unless you inherited a bunch of money, you'll need to put as much time as possible working for several large companies both Federal, State or private that has retirement and matching savings plan. I worked for the Federal DoD as a Reservist and did as much MPA active service I could qualified for and retired with over 28 years around half being active, so get a monthly pension and rolled over my TSP saving combined with a Verizon pension lump sum into an Edward Jones money investment Roth IRA which should earn at a very conservative prediction of 5% after two years should be at least a quarter million. So the payout monthly checks over a period of life of 33 years is between $2000 to $3000.
Combined with my current military pension, VA disability compensation and early Social Security disability which is not taxed except the military pension amounts to over $7000 with the $2000 monthly E Jones payout, with the $3000 it will be over $8000 a month. Having the VA disability also gives the veteran free 100% medical / drug'dental benefits for life. So yeah, I busted my ass for many years and sacrificed allot, never got married so no alimony or child support that suck your hard earned income. That is how its done, you can do the risky adventure in the stock market, but like anything else it takes a large amount of capital to start investing wisely. No fooling around when young and doing stupid things when one's emotion is out of control. I've seen people die in front of me recently, so decided to enjoy life to the fullest including many visits to AMPs, you can't take it with you when you kick the bucket. And I'll be a fool to get into some relationship and support a good for nothing female.
I knew a guy who since passed away, his passion was gambling. He had a house up nuuanu valley and lived there with his son and son's family. House was no shack. He said that when he died his son would inherit the house. He took care of his family.
He spent all his saving going to vegas. When that was gone, he saved from his retirement checks until he had enough to go to vegas. Over the years he spent so much money that he got comped for room and meals.
He told me that when he died he wanted to be completely broke, not a dime to his name.
I thought about that. Yeah, what good is money if I'm dead. My vice, if some want to call it that, is going to AMPs. Pay and play, no further obligations, no messy or tiresome relationships.
My savings are going to AMPs. When I die I want to have a contented smile on my face and be dead broke.
Spend them, if you got them.

If you have no dependents that could really need your money after you're gone, you should spend it now and use it to maximize the enjoyment of whatever life you have left to live. That is the key, receiving maximum enjoyment doing whatever it is that pleases you.

They all wanted the land and even tried to involve myself in that process because I once helped pay several years of property taxes when mom had difficulity when on active duty.
Several times my sisters asked me to fund their kids education and I refused because they didn't even try to apply for student loans or grants. I put myself through several colleges and graduated from each while working several part time jobs and attending full time. Kids these days are spoiled rotten, lazy and just want easy handouts, so to hell with them and its the parents self created problem, not mines to resolve.
My final will and testament specifically names those that should be kept out of any interests and it is fully dedicated to go to some land conservation, preserving it for wild life animals, who seem more appreciative than what humans are. Meanwhile all those pussies that need to be plowed are rewarded for their most satisfying endeavors, no drama or bullshit. Every time one of my nieces or nephews ask for something I demand they write a detailed business plan, just to see how they are thinking even though I plan not to give them anything in return.

Of course it isn't as simple as that, but some guys make more money than others. I don't even bother mongering much here since I take a few trips internationally a year and (literally) get a lot more bang for my buck overseas.
[QUOTE=ElPayaso;3955545]I 'could' go once a week if I wanted. But honestly I need that $200 into my Roth IRA as well.[/QUOTE]I wish I still could put money into a Roth, I have to do backdoor IRA conversions every year. Roth IRA is definitely the way to go.

[QUOTE=Incogfilipino;3956087]Just make more money. Of course it isn't as simple as that, but some guys make more money than others. [/QUOTE]Also, some guys are more focused than others on spending whatever discretionary money they do have in the most productive manner. For example, the "$40 to $60 a week" that one guy spends "just bar hopping" could alternatively be used to spend $2080 to $3120 per year on sex with well-reviewed providers at AMPs.

Put a down pmt on my wife's suv and got her a nice ring. She still would ***** at me from time to time. I said, "fk dis, it's me time!" When the rest comes in I'm hiding a big chunk and will fk until I die or my dick falls off.

I don't fear dying as much as getting prostate problems requiring surgery which will make you impotent. Some of us will get prostate problems with age and I certainly want to have as much fun as I can before that ever happens and have no regrets.

Worked hard, luckily got into a company that trained and paid well. Back in the day when the laws were a little more lax on adult bevs. Flirted a lot, but never really did much, marriage, kids in private school, life was home then work. Years later and the 7 yr. Itch. Crazy, making real good $$, but her spending was nutz. Got into a business where the partner was embezzling $$$ for his Magazine Girl hookup supports. I bought him out, struggled, and my ex-did not help the stress level. Started doing the RZ and CC, that rolled to Evergreen AMP as well as Rainbow. That is when we grew our business to Out of Country to Asia, had a mentor teach me to invest in RE which really helped. As that did well, so was my mongering. After my workouts, hormones raging so usually did the who was avail. ? VG, Indies, AMPs, and DT as last resort. The older I got, the more particular I got, seeing only me go to. The freebies were there, but many time issues!? Clingy, needy, $$$ needed. Lived like I wanted, stayed single to this day, besides the dating thing. Worked the #s for the $$ support me kids who lived with me, HSchools, College, their own families now. Health challenges had me change my habits of spending $$ developed varied LLCs for our businesses and RE producing properties that are run by my older daughters. In those years they bought other businesses that were good $$$producers (a couple of laundromats, their own CPA and Property Mgmt. Biz). My other business in marketing provides for my life (LV and vacations to visit my kids and grandkids), really particular in my mongering now, and FWB here and there. I don't want to think how much kala $$$ I spent over the last 30+yrs. (fear), but I remember in the 90's thru early 2000's (before I got sick, All good now) there were months I would easily see $2-$3 K / mo. Out the door (and that's without the NCAAF I played with some of the mamasans). I learned being an old guy, the $$$ I have now, more chang with it. Be smart with your $$, but have your fun! They hold the cards, but we are still the consumer, they have the control, but we actually have more. HOW? If they suck, put them to the curb. Ask yourself? How many businesses we do not patronage because of BAD service and or not to liking. "Ahhh LOSE Money $. " Would I change if I could go back and redo everything? Yes of course, instead of making good decisions. Enjoy guys and wahines.

I've done some research in this area and personally cured myself from prostate enlargement and a trip to Kaiser surgery to remove it.
It was about 7 years ago when I had to go piss every 15 minutes and found out my prostate was enlarged so much it was blocking the piss channel. So the doctors from Kaiser scheduled the surgery department to operate in 6 weeks. I got some medical remedy book that was banned in the US and read about Zinc reducing prostate enlargement and bought several bottles of 50 mg Zinc from the commisary for about $2. 80 a bottle of 50 tablets. Took about 500 mg or 10 tablets of 50 mg each day with three meals for about 5 weeks, then went to a pre-operation prostate exam and the doctors were surprised it shrunk down to normal size and canceled the surgery, that was over 7 years ago, but I still need to take Zinc at a reduced rate of about 2 tablets of 50 mg with three meals a day.
It also helps in the formation of kidney stones which Kaiser also wanted to cut out the bladder, which when done makes you shit your pants. So one has to wear diapers. Anytime the doctor removes part of whole body parts, it causes more problems.
