I HATE Tuesdays. I don't normally get discouraged, but I am sitting in my room with a moocher who sends random $1.00 tips and thinks he can just cum in general chat. Meanwhile 40+ people are sitting not logged in just watching me. Fucking pricks! I just needed to vent and take a break. My pissy mood was starting to show through... lol.
I take Tuesdays off as I don't usually make much. I feel your frustration. Mondays are usually good for me, but yesterday I was pissed. Bravo for trying.

Sometimes I think the evil free chat is what created the entitled to entertainment attitude so many have.
Obviously!

Thanks for always making me feel better Shasha! Tuesdays are very hit or miss for me (usually miss), but today was extra bad. You didn't miss anything. It sounds like they have been working on the site a lot the last two days and that's why all our traffic has suuucked.
I am going to give this evening a go. If it's nothing but crickets after 30 minutes, I'm out! Tomorrow is a new day everyone. :)

I was on a lucky streak for so long and made great money (over 100 per night never below wow!) for almost 2 weeks now. Today I am at 0 tokens in 2 hours. Oh well. This lucky streak had to leave me some time I GUESS...But this is still brutal as heck.
It's also the end of the month now so...I'm gonna put up my "fuck you pay me" attitude to the fullest tonight and ignore everyone who tries to deceive me in the next few days. Luckily I'm taking the 30th and 31th off, going at a party.

I wonder if in general if this week is going to be dead, I didn't cam yesterday (Tuesday) but for me Wed's are no better, but today its like a fucking ghost town. Labor Day is this weekend, so I am hoping next week things pick up next week after Labor Day, I think lots of peeps are on last minute vacations and after school starts back up, I am hoping the weekdays pick up too! Cuz I just cant take this much more!

Babe, you arent struggling alone. I made $21 in 9 hours. Yesterday? $17. Now im never gonna make what most cis girls make without even trying, however I damn well do way way way better than that...its just the end of summer stagnant period. Its not about us. Theres just no dudes around. Hell, Ive actually had the best summer, overall, that Ive ever had camming, except for the past 2-3 weeks. This month I am $500 short on what i make in an average month, not even a good one. You arent the only one struggling and you arent alone. More often than not lately my shifts have ended in tears and my spending hours beating myself up for not being pretty enough or smart enough or confident enough....but, at the end of the day....its just the job. Its not us. Its not YOU. Youre a beautiful (I guess, idk,you could look like Lyle Lovett for all I know, but you know what Im saying), strong, sexy ass bitch who has made it camming this far....farther than most camgirls who start get. Just gotta ride out this drought.

^^Thank you for being so fucking supportive. It can be heard millions of miles away. Ladies, it's mos def not us. Listen, I'm not some conceited bitch...I'm just gonna state facts: I have some of the prettiest feet on the internet. With that being said: I'm fucking dying here on cam this week.
Ladies...you are not alone. I'm super positive and this slow patch is fuckin me up too. My anxiety was so bad today I wished I was dead...and I NEVER talk like that.
The best we can do is be positive, eat right, hydrate...I mean take really good care of ourselves so when it's time to bank WE ARE THERE and READY.
You are not alone. I hear you. PLEASE hang in there. VIBES WAY UP. Sending them your way.

Camming sucks right now for me because I had to go back to being paid by Paxum. I don't trust them with my money and get nervous anytime I do a wire transfer with them but the 240$ I need to make for SM to wire isn't that easy for me to currently reach. Right now I still need 60$ to hit 240 and have about 8 hours of camming time I can do before cut off. That isn't a lot but with the way things have been, it's not unrealistic to think I won't be able to make it.
On one hand, I'm grateful for camming because with my health problems I may have ended up on some kind of govt assistance without it but when I think of how many negative things I have to deal with like having myself out there for the world to see on a porn sites, having to explain to friends, family and dates that I think might go somewhere ( I'd rather tell them than have them stumble on to a "meet hot singles in your area" type ads) having to deal with horny, internet guys and never knowing how much I'll make day to day.....sigh....
Have to deal with all that and struggle to make 240$
I really need to think of another line of work that doesn't rely on cheap, horny men and isn't commission.

Camming probably doesnt suck but I do. I have to start streaming live for the first time in almost 2 years since only indy doesnt really work out for me but Im going through a heartbreaking break up. I dont know how Im gonna do to look happy and cheerful if I only wanna cuddle and cry all day. Maybe thats not completely bad, maybe faking to be happy eventually will make me feel actually happy (?

I'm so sorry. I'm grieving a break up too. Give yourself time to cry, but put a time limit on it. Then cam. Nita gave good advice. & camming will be a good distraction for you. Yes, smiling will help you feel better.

You're welcome. The first three days of my break up were really rough. I cried off and on a bit. It's been almost 3 weeks and it's getting better. Interestingly, camming helped me feel better. It gave me something to focus on and the attention was a positive. Sending you all kinds of good vibes so you can rest well then tackle the day tomorrow.

Sending every bit of love and light I have to you, Sha. I wish I were around here when my fianee died, as I had zero support, anywhere. The girls on here, although we are all grasping for the same things, we are a bit of a fucked up family and everyone is generally so, so super supportive. Just know, love, that as with everything else....this, too, shall pass. Cam is a great distraction, so just keep on doing what you are doing and before you know it all of that pain and misery will be a thing of the past....and just in time for fall, when it picks up!!! Paint those toenails and put those little piggies in these dudes faces til you are rolling in cash and dont even remember your ex's name. Much love, Sha, much much love.

Very worth it (to me). They deserve that 5%.
Just being a voice of reason, 5% is the typical % contribution to a retirement account. Think about altering your spending or bill due dates so you can keep that money. Then you actually have a huge investment egg in the years to come. I look at my retirement accounts now from jobs I fucking hated (honestly that were so stressful it gave me PTSD but took advantage of the tax free investment with 3-5% of my pretax pay.)
It doesn’t seem like much. It really compounds and you’ll have a nice set of cash just by keeping but investing that 5%.

We made it through shitty August.
Give yourself a hand!
I'm going to be reposting my savings chart, if anyone else wants to plan for taking off next August.
It's super easy to do. ( I might be posting an even easier one to follow, if I can find it.)
*Keep in mind that it will also be election year. Things on cam get a bit out of whack if history repeats itself.
Anyhoo.
When I first started camming, the summer slowdown didn't bother me, because I lived where the weather was normal. Plus, I had a side job of dog walking, which got me outside a lot.
For the last 3 summers, I have lived on the surface of the sun. It's too hot to go out from late May- Oct.
Being inside like a caged animal, makes me neurotic.
Next year it will be different, because I'm getting out of the heat.
Who's with me?

Is there a thread for this? Like "Taking Off August" or something like that? I think I'll be doing a little indy work at most but I plan on doing stuff I never do the entire 30-day period. Camping is definitely on the list but in a much cooler state. I need to get passports for us, too. I've been trying to pull together a trip to Anguilla for forever. I guess saving for that time starts now, huh?
