    This week i made very little money & all from small pvt's, NONE of my regulars were around, it will make sense they pay CC bills or are out of money, i really hope it picks up, same like them we spent more during holidays & we need money to pay bills and keep going.

    Cheer up! Tomorrow is a full moon, so I would imagine that it will be great to cam then, plus guys get paid today,as mentioned above.

    Do You think it's become slow because this is the week everyone got their bill from credit cards they used over the holidays?
    I'll go 'out on a limb' and point out the following. Since the first of the year ...

    - higher state taxes are taking a bigger bite out of lots of US webcam customer paychecks ( the first of which may be just now starting to show up for bi-weekly payrolls )
    - higher health insurance costs ( or new IRS penalty tax for not having health insurance ) are in effect
    - higher 2014 property tax bills have just arrived, or rent hikes are taking effect
    - higher utility rates / bills are in effect
    - unseasonably cold weather has increased heating bills
    - for self-employed webcam customers, the 1st quarter estimated tax payment is due today ( true for self-employed camgirls as well )
    - monthly payment bills on Christmas purchases are now starting to show up ( credit cards, Rent-A-Center, etc. )
    - end of year statements on investment income are arriving ... allowing some webcam customers to calculate how much they'll have to pay in higher cap gains taxes
    - high earning webcam customers who exceeded their maximum Social Security tax partway through last year now have to start paying SSI tax again


    For better or worse, it seems that almost everything on the tax and 'necessary' spending side is rising, while almost everything on the 'paycheck' side is not !!! And, unfortunately for camgirls, spending money on paid webcam must take a lower priority with most paid webcam customers versus paying ( higher ) taxes and paying ( higher ) bills for 'necessary' spending items.

    Admittedly, some of this involves 'one shot' deals in January ... such as paying down credit cards, the first quarter estimated tax payment, lump sum property tax payment etc. But much of this is going to recur every month ... such as higher tax rates, higher health insurance costs, higher utility rates, higher rent etc.

    Thus, IMHO, I wouldn't expect to see any major change for the better until tax refund season arrives / heating bills start to fall off due to warmer weather in April. However, due to last November's US gov't budget impasse / shutdown, the IRS has already announced that 2014 tax return processing thus refunds will be delayed by a month.

    The new healthcare reform tax penalty will not affect your returns for 2013. We are required to ask about health insurance for information purposes only but any penalty assessed will not happen until you file your 2014 return. I work in a tax office.

    The new healthcare reform tax penalty will not affect your returns for 2013
    That is true ... but it WILL affect estimated tax filings from April 15th 2014 forward. Thus self-employed webcam customers ( and self-employed camgirls ) should already be setting aside the additional % to cover the new IRS penalty tax if they don't have health insurance ... since the penalty tax for not having health insurance for 3 consecutive months will hit on March 31st, and will continue to hit every quarter throughout 2014. And setting aside more money for taxes means less money available for spending on non-essential items like paid webcam ! But true enough that paycheck receiving 'employee' webcam customers won't really see the impact of the new IRS penalty tax until they file their 2014 tax returns in the spring of 2015 ( unless their employers have increased their paycheck tax withholding to cover the additional tax burden of the new IRS penalty tax, in which case they will be seeing smaller take-home paychecks right now ).

    However, in the grand scheme of things, the new IRS penalty tax is a comparatively 'small potato' compared to other tax increases and other price increases for 'necessary' items that many paid webcam customers are now dealing with.

    Just made $12 in an hour.

    I'm really kicking myself for being so lazy and never logging on during times when it's good/steady and I easily make $75+ an hour. You don't realize how sweet you have it until it's gone! :p

    So terrifying and annoying and makes my life a big mess of paranoia and accidental overshares.
    I don't care if people know what I do but I don't think my family members want to have it shoved in their virtual faces.

    Stuff like this is making it SO hard to have privacy from anyone.
    My google account with all my purchases on it is connected to an email that involves my real name, my phone wants to know what to call me. you are a robot you don't call me ANYTHIIIING.

    I started camming in waves again instead of staying on for hours because it gets very depressing when you'er on for 2-3hrs and make what you normally make in 1hr. I go on and do a GS and a few pvts if I get them within 10min of my GS and leave if I don't get shit for 15min. This keeps me positive and worked in the past.

    My landlords are doing some remodeling in my house, and the guys they hired to do it are SOOOOOOOOOOOO freaking slow I swear!! It's supposed to be going on for three weeks now and they are showing up at 7am and not leaving until almost 6pm every single day which is completely throwing off my camming schedule, and I freaking hate getting on at nights anyways!! They are really fucking up my mojo right about now! Then when I'm sleeping during the day, they come and knock on my bedroom door at least once an hour while I'm trying to sleep and they always have some stupid fucking excuse "Can you move your dog kennel??" "Your puppy is crying" No shit dipshit, she is a puppy and doesn't want to be in her kennel while she's sees people walking around and she's all cooped up. My puppy is a blue nose pit, so when I got up to get some water this morning this guy has the nerve to ask me "Would you mind leaving her collar and leash out so I can take her for walks when I get here in the morning??" Hell fucking no you can't! I don't know these guys from Tom Dick and Harry and now you're working on my place so you think you can take my dogs for walks and shit?? No hurry up and get the work done so I don't have to deal with you guys screwing up my camming schedule! Plus I take my dogs on multiple walks a day and they have a backyard they can run around in.
    XOXO

    Cripes... I must've gotten the full gambit today. Wednesday in January. The freeloaders were in full force. FIRST TEN MINUTES I get on cam a trans person comes in, tips a little and asks lots of questions about hormones, voice, and all these things. I take em seriously cause of course I like to help em out.

    One of my Mods PMed me that this person was another model, and it turns out she'd been bullshitting me the entire time to steal my traffic. I was SO PISSED. Made me so angry. Then shortly after have this guy who like says to say a bunch of names of people watching me from his cam or some shit, tips 1 token. 5 cents, bah.

    On top of that, loads of freeloaders or the quiet cheapskate custies with money. and at the end to top it all off had this person keep takin gme private and then cancelling it immediately. Probably trying to get a fuckign free show. Yeah.

    Made $10 tonight. Officially at "Kill me now" level.

    Men who come into my room and insult other models...that shit enrages me.
    Dude has the audacity to say "I can say whatever I want, I spend to much to get in trouble"
    We were having a perfectly normal convo, I mentioned I regularly creep ladies and tip, and it's easy to blow a paycheck on a beautiful girl! He asks my favorites, so I tell him. He proceeds to bad mouth a few.
    GAH that makes me mad.
    I ripped him a new bhole and blocked him.
    Ugh. :< Made me want a group hug with my favorite ladies.

    It really bothers me how MFC has no report feature for members (and if there is, I can't find it). I hate the guys who come in and try to scam me (and of course other models) into "flashing their tits then I'll take you private" or "Show me X" *fake ___ has tipped you 1000 tokens picture*. I don't fall for it, but there's probably new models who do, and that pisses me off. You shouldn't be allowed to do shit like that. UGH. I was talking to another customer about it and he says he's seen models fall for it, which makes me just sad. I hate trickster assholes like that!

I hav no problem banning blues or premiums so that's usually what I do in that scenerio...but fuck!! I hate that self entitled attitude of "she won't ban me because I might tip her!"
