I enjiyed myself at this hotel I stayed at this past weekend. It was only $50 a night and it had a full kitchen with a stove, micowave, and a big refrigerator. Plus the room had a 30 or 35 inch flat screen. The graphics on my video game was real nice on it. Staying at a hotel twice a month will give me the feel of staying in a traditional place. And twice a month its only gonna be $100 a month. I’ll still have enough money left over for my escort and other fun

Plus you’ll have a clean, safe place to bring your whore!

But $50 a night with a 35-incher and a full kitchen? Umm…I stay in a hotel a lot more than two nights a month, and for $50 a night you’d be lucky to have a functioning AC unit and carpet without cigarette burns. What is this hotel called, if you don’t mind my asking.

So you’re now at $500 of your $800 income spent on escorts/hotels every month? What exactly is the other fun and how much does it cost?

I need to start giving less of a shit about my life. This looks fun/easy.

You can easily get hotel rooms with those amenities for $50 or less on Priceline, especially if you’re pretty flexible with dates, like the OP seems to be.

Judging from past posts it appears he’s extremely flexible with his dates.

That’s not the only thing he’s flexible with!

I, too, one day hope to rent out a homeless shelter.

Wait…

Yakuza  
There are charitable organizations that offer a voucher program to people who qualify, homeless people.  
They will give you a voucher certificate to cover the cost of a hotel room, and the hotel writes it off on their taxes.  
Can you check into options like this?

But do they offer vouchers for escorts? I’ve heard about a program where you can suckle on the government’s teat.

I’m guessing some sort of extended-stay place that’s having trouble filling up for the night. We stay in one sometimes when we’re out of town and don’t feel like couch surfing. The tv isn’t nearly that big, and the kitchen is tee-niny, but it is indeed a full kitchen.

IMO it seems like Yakuza could use some help. I do not mean to get all social worker on him, but his problems could be bigger that what little we see in his posts.  
Reaching out to some assistance agency, designed for helping homeless, is not the worst thing he could do.  
But again, Yakuza would probably say things are great for him as they are.
