that's a sad (forced when his dating stuff dried up) retirement
don't think there's any shame in being older and still in the game. yes Joe will be the first to admit he lacks patience/control of anger to his detriment, but he's still doing his thing. there's no shame in that
to his credit I had to get new (!) contacts signed by old partners a lil while back that explicitly listed the specific site. pain in the ass and kinda embarrassing when you usually just message with a person twice a year to wish hbd
can't imagine a full catalogue of 100's/1000's of performers going back perhaps decades
re the main gist of your post, I'm kinda like you, although I got into online adult way after the golden years. savings first, always. mad travel, mad fun, taking care of others, have created a life I love where I want to be. hard core strategy for managing money because nothing lasts forever and this biz does not offer a pension plan
I think helping others online or off is a good thing that actually feeds our own soul (if that makes sense), provided the person is down to lift a fucking finger on their own behalf
obvs that cancels Huggles out, but in general? if if doesn't cost you anything, (or if it does, is it something you can afford and deem worth it), just do it. small acts of kindness make this world go round. not even really altruistic, I'm case study #1 in what I do for others coming back to me 1000% fold over the years in so many different ways
maybe it's easier for me. am surrounded by people who grind harder for far less then me, and really it comes down to where and into what families we were born. love my community, would do anything for them. do my best and just a couple of weeks ago one of my neighbours saved my life. actually. wrote about it downstairs. would that have happened if I lived closeted away not giving a fuck about others unless they jumped some arbitrary hoop I deemed suitable for sharing time or money or just being involved in stuff beyond my own ish? unlikely
AMA's hustling in his own way. no shame in that. tearing down others says more about the attackers than him. feel bad for them, don't think they realize that tearing down others cuts oneself in small, seemingly imperceptible ways that do accumulate over time
those of us who did/are planning for the future need not be cut-throat. the whole point of being ok financially is that we don't need to be
I dunno. peace y'all and still lots of money to be made while the sun shines
