The declining dollar and rising gold price is a sign of bad times ahead. Rather than thinking about the political reaction to this, if you thought we were headed for bad times how would you prepare for it at a personal level? This would include how much your strip club hobby might change. There would be more females desperate for money but fewer guys with extra money to spend unless they can think of ways to maintain their income.

Over the years through good times and bad never seems to affect my personal spending habits. I’d like to think that maybe I’m at a point in my life where I’m on financial autopilot and somewhat insulated from fluctuating economic conditions. I also have never experienced strip club prices dropping or desperate girls willing to perform on the cheap because of a bad economy. I think this is a confirmation bias phenomenon.

I always spend the same. If I am earning serious money I live the same and save. When times are bad I live the same and spend the saved surplus money. I have noticed a small difference in cost, ie a post pandemic 100 hj is now a 100 bbjcim and lap dances are better than ever contact. Of course it's possible I have become taller, wealthier and better looking lately.

Agree with Iknowbetter. I've not knowingly had any dancer drop her fees or say her service would be better because of the poor economy. The only correlation I've seen is the end of the month when rent is due. Whether I've gotten cheaper prices/better service is debatable, but girls have stated they'd like to see me because it was that time of the month.

@skibum609 - we’re definitely not seeing post-pandemic HJ or BBBJCIM for $100 down here! That’s like post-911 pricing!

^That's just the tip.

I'm always concerned that if you get a dancer to lower her prices, will you still get the same service or will it also be lower.

I'm not worried about bad times. I live well enough within my means that I have plenty of discretionary income each month and my rainy day fund is equal to or greater than my annual income.
I am worried about worst case scenarios - EMPs, crop blights, limited regional nuclear exchange on the other side of the globe, global trade collapse, etc. Not world-ending, but enough to threaten my life. I am really thinking about getting one of those 6-month emergency food kits with gravity water filters and solar power generators.

Gold is going up because the Chinese are buying it up like crazy. Their economy is slowing with many companies relying on government subsidies to avoid going under. The only way China can attack the dollar's hegemony is by driving up the price of gold to make the dollar look weak.

^ Plus the CCP has been selling of a lot of US Treasuries the past several years to jack with the Dollar. Make no mistake, the CCP is evil and runs the long game to dominate.

I depend on the social security and the Teamster pension (no COLA). I spent all my savings on the ladies over the years. at least I own my house.

and yes... Even after 11 years since my divorce I still pay Court ordered spousal support to my ex. easily takes over 1/3 of my income... almost one half.
