I use public electrical plug ins for my electronic devices such as my android phone, portable DVD player and Playstation 3. The only bill I have 2 pay is 4 my storage where I keep my stuff. I’ll get more into how I live in another subject but I thought I would just give u all an idea of how I save money Younger brother, is this you? Actually it’s not, because my younger brother doesn’t earn even that much money, but manages to live on the streets. Of course, he restricts himself to using free computers and eating at homeless shelters/missions/etc. I don’t see the debate here. ---

> [@Yakuza](#): > > Ok, u know the answer is gonna be yes but let me explain. I would still socialize with the escorts because a man needs a woman, but I would have an even more greatet responsibility 2 try 2 changr the escort’s life around so that she can be encouraged 2 spend her money on more positve yhings like rent, a car, or 4 her child You think that your greatest responsibility is to turn around the life of a drug-addicted hooker? How about turning around the life of a sex-addicted homeless man? ---

[Well…](http://www.phrases.org.uk/images/fish-bicycle.jpg) OTOH, I was thinking that maybe I’d get a maid - find a place nearby for her to stay. Just someone to keep my house clean, fix my meals and go away. ---

> [@CanvasShoes](#): > > You also may want to explore your view on women as “free women” and paid for women, that, rather than your lack of funds is probably 95% of your problem. This is really what it boils down to. Except that, from the OP’s point of view, it’s not necessarily a “problem”. He appears to think of women primarily as a commodity, and for people with such a viewpoint, paying for them is indeed probably the most appropriate way to go… certainly the most forthright. ---

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a small fortune is clearly going to need to budget half his income on hookers. ---
