these are just my cam earnings daily pretax just to keep me accountable, i also have an online business that brings in some income, and i also do earn from fan/clip sites as well that are not included.
omgg dont mention taxes to me lollll
i just talked to my french lawyer a few days ago and my tax rate if i make over 75,000 euros .. its going to be 40%...
so ill need to make less than 75k total taxable earnings once i move to keep the tax rate at 30%

next month i will try 335 a day average to get $10k a month.
once i move to france i pretty much will cap my earnings at 7k a month maximum to keep under the tax bracket. or ill need to make way over ...for it to justify the 10% extra in taxes.

Surely it will just be 40% of the earnings above 75K?

in france there are social charges and income tax. it is 40% of the total earnings and no tax deductions. for high earners the tax can be up to 60% of your income.
it sounds so crazy.. because it is. france has one of the highest taxes in the world.
but the trade off is excellent medical care, retirement plan, unemployment insurance, housing allowance if an emergency happens to me, education and many other things included in that tax and other things included.
plus cost of living is much less there than the usa rent ect.
so even with 30% of my income gone in the lower tax bracket (below 75,000) it will still be much cheaper and better than the usa.
i lived in france before .

I wish it was like that in the USA to be honest. We pay 15.4% of our income for medicaid/medicare (a sort of free medical insurance when you are disabled/below poverty/retired but you need to buy supplemental insurance ANYWAYS because it doesn't cover everything you need including dental!), social security (income based on earnings if you become permanently disabled or income for retirement however through poor management even if you contributed your whole life, it's looking like the program won't exist anymore as too many people are taking and not enough people are contributing.) Then you pay 10-40% in income tax depending on your income level. Then there is state tax if you live in a state with an income tax. Most states you still have to pay property taxes even through retirement. Then 20% of your earnings should be saved for retirement. So yeah 15.4% + 24% average federal tax rate + 5% average state tax rate + 20% for retirement = 35.6% to live on. There is no universal health care either. Totally normal to pay $500-1200/mo for fairly good health insurance. In the USA - kiss your money GOODBYE. Americans just hate taxation even for programs that are obviously cheaper than doing it on your own like we are doing now... Americans would just groan about 40-70% taxes with guaranteed paid medical and parental leave, guaranteed dental and medical insurance, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed disability insurance etc.

this is exactly the decision i am facing this year.
i am american but my husband was deported from the usa . he can now go back , but it would cost atleast $15 to 20k for immigration lawyer and a long wait time and no promise of approval.
and id be going back to the usa and starting over.
or .. i can just move to france. pay $150 dollars for the application and i have been told i will be approved easily on my income this year.
and can pay into the socialist system..
with rent $700 a block from the beach ..... health care that is amazing , cheap and good food prices NO gmo, organic, travel around europe is cheap..
i was able to live like a princess last time i was there. so it was kind of a hard choice
but literally everything you wrote made me feel confident in my decision
the only thing i need to figure out is how long i need to pay into the system to earn the retirement
the health care, unemployment insurances, housing allowance for emergency, home care if illness, ect ect will all take effect the first few months of my arrival
which is a HUGE relief for me as i am un insured living in mexico and i have a strong family history fo cancer. my mom got cancer at 36!
so yeah your words make me feel even better about my choice. i cant wait till my shift is over to show my husband what you wrote.
it really sums up what i wont be missing in the usa, along with the high rent prices and crazy food costs!

Lately I've been demanding my pay but some clients I've denied because I don't want less pay for more work but at the,same time, I need allllllll da monies so I'm picking my ego off the floor until I can reach goal then I'm raising them even higher.

yes ill have to pay small taxes to the usa but its a drop in the bucket compared to the 40% i would have to pay in france for the other visa type.

You need to make about $10k a month at this rate. Just for savings... hmmm... can your husband's income cover the rest of the living expenses, so you can put aside everything you make?

i figured 10k a month. :-( sadly you are right. uggg
i dont think i am going to make it at this rate.
we run an online boutique and do day trading as well. but its not yet enough to cover all my expenses.
my husband has started affilate marketing for cam sites, maintains my clip sites, editing vids uploading ect. manages the household stuff, organizes my cam room, cooks, and does all the laundry, take care of the dog . stuff like that . because i am too tired after camming.
but its still not enough. my living expenses here are $3,500 a month.
wages in mexico are like $150 or 200 a week at most. so its more helpful running my other businesses as my assistant than wasting 35 hours a week for $150 bucks.
make him work 35 hours for what i can earn in 1 hour would be a bit useless. besides.. who would clean my dildos? ROFL!
i am not able to move next spring because rentals in summer go sky high so no one will rent to me so close to summer.
so it pretty much has to be before winter like november at the latest. and i have to submit the application like 1 month before with the proof of income.
so i would only have until september.
so yeah its not enough time .
i am camming harder than ever. ive increased my daily goal to $500 a day.
i upped my rates as well.
its just so physically demanding. i cant keep up more hours than that.
damn i was thinking i was being to negative but.. you said what i was thinking $10,000 a month. those were my thoughts.
Cutie101
03-02-2022, 01:32 AM
No, you're being realistic not negative. Negative is when you just complain without doing anything about it or willing to change something. But you're powering the engine to the max and do anything you can already and the living expenses aren't helping either. I get it, about the husband, it's good that at least he is doing everything else and helps you out. Definitely not worth to get a job, with salaries like that.
It sucks that your hustle is so demanding, maybe you can try to slow those guys down, cater to an audience that's more willing to have some chit chat, some sensual seduction before the actual dildo show starts... it helps you take it easier.
BTW, have you considered taking a loan? See how much you can save and take a loan for the rest of the amount? Is it even possible, maybe getting it from an american bank, or? Idk... It was just an idea that passed my mind, Idk how things work in there. I think it would be really helpful. I mean, if I was you and I could do it, I'd get a loan and happily move faster and work to pay the money back in... how much? 5 years? Way easier than saving $50k in 4 months...

yes i thought about the loan since i now have excellent credit
and no debt but my credit score is too new for the loan. i already tried to prequalify so ice the loan money just sits in an account i wouldn’t even use it . so yeah that sounds like a good option.
too bad they wouldn’t approve me . need longer credit history
it would have made perfect sense since it is much cheaper to live there and i wouldn’t touch the loan money. i’d be paying myself back . too bad

cutie!! a bit off topic but if you plan to invest in skin care i highly advise ordinary. i had ache, brown spots and they are all gone within 2 months of using their products. i use many of them, and everyday, but it worked LIFE CHANGING. def check into them if you haven't before.
I just wanna fucking THANK YOU. I did use the Niacinamide and Zinc serum from the Ordinary, the one you reccomended and... my butt acne is fucking GONE?!?!?!?!??! first time in YEARS?!?!?! It's not 100% gone but it's fading!! It's fucking fading!! The brown spots now look like freckles, they are getting smaller and smaller. And I only used the serum for about a month now and not even every day.
Now that my skin got used to it, I will definitely start using it every other day.
I am forever grateful for this advice, I can't believe my butt is finally looking good! WOW!
Gonna put some before/ after pics in a month. I took a pic right before starting the treatment, to see how it's changing.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Bigbum!!

It's not 100% gone but it's fading!! It's fucking fading!! The brown spots now look like freckles, they are getting smaller and smaller. And I only used the serum for about a month now and not even every day.
Now that my skin got used to it, I will definitely start using it every other day.
I am forever grateful for this advice, I can't believe my butt is finally looking good! WOW!
Gonna put some before/ after pics in a month. I took a pic right before starting the treatment, to see how it's changing.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Bigbum!!
omggg!!!! yayyyyy so happy for you! i really swear by the ordinary! literally almost every product is a game changer. and those prices right?
yes that niacinamide is so great for spots it will also help your skin texture. ill have to try it on my bum as well... ya get it? big bum? lol!!!!
have you tried the red peel yet? AHA 30%? that one is like going to get a Microderm abrasion... ! i swear!
i ran out of the squalane. and like wow my poor face has aged 5 years because i of washing the makeup on and off this contest week without my precious ordinary.... i cannot wait for my oil to arrive tomorrow. ive been checking the tracking # from sephora like every single day.
my top products are
#1 30% AHA ( the holly grail of holly grails)
#2 niacinamide (need i say more?)
#3 lactic acid ( resurfaces your skin, spots , brown spots, breakouts )
#4 squalane oil for dry skin and dry under eyes
#5 Vitamin C cream sleep with it on like a mask and wake up to dewy skin!
#6 natural factors (use this to lock in whatever treatment like a sleep mask seals in everything makes every treatment work better)
keep us updated! so happy for you! i hope you feel more self confident , more amazing!

When I was shaving, I used to apply some BHA exfoliant after shaving (something from paula's choice, i was applying just like on face, just a little), waiting to it to dry, then applying Avene Cicalfate cream. If I was feeling sweaty down there, I'd also apply some Klorane Bebe powder (perfect for babies diaper rash, so definitely great for preventing irritations). I would do this for 3 days after shaving and I didn't have issues anymore. But I admit it was a burden, lol.
If you are waxing, I'd apply the BHA a couple of days later, not right after, obviously :))) Anyway, apply it in between the waxing sessions, start maybe 2-3 times a week and probably 1-2 times per week, for maintenance, will be ok in the future, to prevent bumps.
Anyway, whatever works on the face, also works there too. So, you may also try some Hyaluronic Acid or even the Zinc serum, it can't do anything bad, since Zinc is anti irritant, in general and the Niacinamides are repairing the skin.
Then I discovered a body trimmer from panasonic (exactly this one https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Cordless-Attachments-Multi-Directional-Sensitive/dp/B08WTJTGG5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=panasonic+body+trimmer&qid=1648470597&sprefix=panasonic+body+trimm%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExNjJYTTVGUUxIRFo4J mVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzU5MDE3MTJER1AwRVFIQTY2TSZlbmN yeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzg3MDkxMzMwRkZaSVo2OVhGNyZ3aWRnZ XROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05 vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=) and never looked back. Yes, the hair grows faster since it's not shaved, but it trims so close to the skin, that it does look shaved. It looks like day 2 after shaving. I don't have to exfoliate, struggle with razor bumps and ingrown hairs anymore, since it does trim and not shave. Really good product. Especially during summer, in a vacation, when you wanna shave your bikini line but you know that the sand and the chlorine in the pool will irritate the skin. So this trimmer is perfect, trim trim trim and you're done in less than 2 minutes :))
For armpits and legs I still use a razor, but for the coochie, that trimmer is a godsend.
As an ultimate solution, IPL is the shit. I do have an IPL device, it's from 2014 tho, I haven't used it for years, but when I did use it, it did a great job. I might start using it again, before summer kicks in (hopefully it still works cuz I paid like $500 on it, when i bought it and they said it only has a 5 years warranty lol). If you make it to France and your skin is allowing it, IPL will get you rid of your hair forever. You'll only have to go ocassionally, for maintenance. That's what I eventually plan to do.
