Being broke. I am putting more effort and just not seeing the desired results. I've had 2 cry spells this week from stress. I am watching my lazy neighbors that dont work drive in new cars and have nice things while I don't have one (got it stolen in 2015). I live paycheck to paycheck. This is humiliating to admit. I know things will improve, I just do! 2 deaths and financial problems is too much to bear for one soul. <3
Sorry you are going through that but things will get better may not seem like it right now but it will. Then camming being so stressful and longer hours on top of everything doesnt help. Things will get better hugs to you.

Being all friendly and following fellow cammodels on twitter and then getting myself blocked from another cammodel for doing such. Like... I don't get it. I don't piss anyone off. I keep the peace. To each her own I guess...
That happened to me. I'm friendly. I followed someone on Twitter and she blocked me. Guess she feels threatened.

Yeah, but I'd have to pay $4.99 to rent it on Amazon. The whole point was for me to use my 'free Redbox rental' code to see it for free.
I just saw it, by the way. It was just okay. Definitely not a movie I plan on purchasing. I'm definitely buying The Revenant on April 19th though. EXCELLENT movie.
I didn't like the last Hunger Game. Good thing it was free for ya. And yes, the Revenant was awesome!

The next time someone asks "do you regret not having kids?" in that condescending tone...reply, "do you regret having them?" I hate that kid crap...I never wanted them either...and guess what? It's not necessarily the money that makes you happy, but it takes money to get you the things to make you happy. Freedom is what I enjoy...work when I want, where I want. I live a pretty simple life, but I love to travel and pamper myself with weekly massages...and moolah from camming pays for that.
I'm rather super pissed right now about a custie that jumped into group chat towards the end of a countdown. I was at 2 when he starts clamoring, "where's your strap on? put that dick on! I want it!" I told him to wait until I was done with the countdown and then we could do strap on play...(had a few guys in group that were doing JOI with me and we were at the 10 minute mark)...he leaves and then gives me a 1-star rating. what a dick! I'm so mad about it right now...trying to shake it off
Yes!!! Couldn't have said it any better. I don't want kids. I completely get it.

I an starting to cam again after a taking off a few years. I was on F4F the other night & was inundated with fake tippers - VIP & Basic Members both. Long story short, I'm not dealing with those kind of guys any more. I'll hit them with the ban hammer even if it affects my Power Score. Its not worth my sanity :)
On a more positive note, Thank you guys for being such an awesome support group!

If it makes you feel any better I just did 2 hours and got £2.69 in paid minutes. Jeeze. Lots of people talking. It's usually busy hour now but I have to go and eat and rev myself up for the midnight hour. Staying on the damn pc til I reach a mini goal. Might need some strong caffeine over here

Hmm Im wondering if the ladies of this forum are getting their cycles at the same time? I'm just wrapping up mine. Didn't cry on cam but I lost it the other day when I watched my dog chase a squirrel. He's never caught one in 8 years. But that never stops him from trying. He just keeps going day after day after day. He inspired me and then I got emotional.
just finished mine yesterday lol,i wondered about that too!

I've just lost a really generous long term regular, and I wasn't that upset till I realized just how much of my income came from him! I need to step up my camming game. I spent about 9 hours on cam today and made a grand total of $34. I think my biggest issue is picking a dang site! I flip flop back and forth too much.
On the bright side being able to interact with all of the awesome women on here really fills me with determination to keep improving!
It just feels good to vent a bit. :)

Sorry to hear that does indeed suck but you will find another to take his place. We cant depend on those guys because eventually they will move on, but it is nice while it lasts. Hope you do ok, just keep pushing forward things will get better.

I know many older women, women who have kids and are great, loving mothers, that recommend not having kids to younger women. They say it's overrated and that if they had to go back in time they would skip having kids. It's simply not for everyone. People need to care more about doing what makes them happy and not what other people think they should.

So, two and a half hours into a well paying shoot three hours away, I had a semi total my car. So, loose out on the shoot-have to deal with insurance tomorrow, so better have rental car by end of today. Aaaand the idiot who pushed my car into a meridian-which thankfully stopped me from going into the very deep body of water under, said he had no idea what happened and he hadn't been in an accident in fifteen years. Like it matters, you white trash, up forty hours, balding asshole-whose totally at fault.

Yes it is overrated, i will tell a young woman now: have kids later on after u lived & enjoyed life and make sure u have the kid(s) with the right guy, a good loving man u know for a good while.
Tradition, family social status & mentality, cultural background here is what made me have a kid with the wrong guy at the wrong age.
I wish i could have had options .....

This week has been pretty bad. My cam was hazing last night so had to log off after an hour. Mind you, in that hour there were plenty of chatters rather than anything else. Just got a sniff of a pvt when my cam hazed. Seems to be the way.
On a positive note sold some film clips and photos so that has helped.

I'm starting to think I might not 'be good at this' and starting to think I just bought a new PC for no reason. Between waiting on the pc itself to get here and working out the pc system so I can cam no problem, and family drama and issues with a baby sitter, I've only been able to make 27$ and that itself wasn't easy but I guess I should consider myself balling since I haven't been able to hop on. I'm hoping to have my new pc all set, updated and ready to go so that I can attempt a camathon tomorrow and just try my hardest to make a decent check.
Started imlive, and the traffic is great and even a decent amount of privates but omg only being able to charge. 98 a minute is killing the fuck out of me. When I do an 11 minute private and only make like 4 bucks... that's just... almost not even worth my time. It's hard to wrap my mind around the amount of time I'm gonna have to sell myself for cheap just to get the 'privilege' to charge what I want.
But SM has been a cunt to me lately (another reason the 'maybe I'm just not good at this" thoughts have been rolling in) and I need to start actually using the other eggs I put in my basket since sm has been less then reliable lately and it's my main.

What's a coincidence, I did on the same day as well...I wonder if it's the same guy. He wrote me to tell me he didn't need to tell me but there was something he wanted me to know and want to tell me while on cam.
I figured he was going to tell me he was married or leaving the site.
Is it fucked up I was hoping he was just married? Because he was one of my best regs too.

I really would like to go outside too. The weather is good finally, I wanna walk in the hills with my dog, spend some time with poeple, forget this insane shit and all the dumb stuff... But probably i ll waste all my energy again with "work", sitting in room try doin this shit. I feel guilty somehow, and fuckin hate it.

Update: on halfway, i reached $100 somehow. dunno how. aint had a long session, and aint touched a toy ,or even myself. Well, small money, but better than nothing.
Anyway, i think there are some tech issues on the site. many incomers just disappeared after a few seconds. that s strange.

I lowered my premium price the other day - I was THAT desperate to make SOMETHING. I lowered it to $3.99. Guy comes in and immediately takes me private. Fucker wanted EVERYTHING for $3.99. Anal, huge toy, squirt. Fuck you. No. I told him he was getting a fingering pussy show and that was it. Fuck you. It's $3.99. He stayed, but Jesus Fucking Christ.

Yep, there it is. There are too many girls giving everything for practically nothing now and THAT's partially why the rest of us can't make what we used to AND members have cheapened. Not that there weren't & will always be freeloaders. But...These girls have saturated the cam industry and made it worse for everyone. Fkn fuck.

I dunno how long you have been camming for? but that has been going on the whole time I have been a cam girl.. which is 13+ years.. there's no difference.. As the old saying goes if they really want you they will pay your rates... let's take Bonga for instance.. I charge more than the OTHER girls and I still get paid! they pay me!.. I charge way more for tits and ass flashes than the other girls.. like 3 times as much.. they still pay me.. some complain but they will eventually come around or not.
