    Default Our Future...

    So, I have started camming a little late in life, not like you young hotties!

    I would class my self as middle aged.

    Luckily I am enjoying camming, BUT, I do wonder what I will do in a decade or two's time.

    I realise that there are successful cammers in their fifties, or possibly in their sixties? But the realist in me says I would not be earning much, if anything, in those years.

    So that leads to the question, what will you/I do in the later years? I do not earn enough to save and have a money pot, and my vanilla work skills will be minimal.

    I'm staying in this industry until I drop dead. Vanilla will probably die out/or be very hard to continue unless you have a fanbase. But fetishes and female domination will ALWAYS be there. I do want to eventually invest in vanilla things. But I will never ever go back to working a vanilla 9-5.

    Im with hayden, I will never be able to go Vinilla, I just got my bachelors in journalism, But im dreading the day i will have to use it, when i enroled i had a passion for anything in the field, but now its just my backup plan..

    Defiantly invest, even if it is in the industry, Im only barley 20 and already have a savings account for my future, and a studio with girls in it get some income from.
    I dont really know stocks, but my husband wants to buy some while the markets at a low point, my grandma is a investor in it and im trying to get her to teach me how to buy them.

    Truth is, you can cam forever, but you really cant... In most cases you will either get burnt out, or bored, or maybe even too sore, or have health problems that prevent it.
    Milk it while you can, Find something els in the industry you would like to do and make a clear plan on how to achieve it, even if it will take years to do it, it will be worth it.

    Open a rainy day bank account and give the password to someone close (family member), and dont know the password, put money in it every week incase the worse happens..
    Grandma porn is always a thing, but its not the ONLY thing available to older women in the industry, They consider 24 year olds milfs in most cases.
    Open a studio, if thats not your thing,( i know allot of you oppose to it ) then a whitelable, open a website and allow girls to sell things from it.
    Defiantly INVEST!

    mmm i think that aside camming it s a good idea to record videos to sell on a c4s store, elm and mgf, that way you get passive income even when older... aside that i hope to become a nurse and do this as a side job.

    Buffy, you are so hot that I think that you will be earning for a long time yet.

    Bummer that I arrived late to the party (that is camming), I think I do need to create a back up plan - not sure what yet, but your tips are good.

    Good thinking Carmen! As far as being a nurse, that is something that I wanted to do in my spring chicken years :-)

    Well, that is something for me to think about as I am pretty much a vanilla cam gal. So, that wont bring me much business when i am in my fifties, sixties! I could however get quite creative with a walking stick :-)

    I think I will be doing this until I get sick of it, and by the looks of things, that won't be soon. I love that I can be so versatile with this job, and have so many creative projects going on the side as well.

    O2BCAMGAL i m on phone so cant quote it is depressing to see that working on mgf i make sooo much more than actual nurses... but i guess that ll make me a nurse with a naughty side, for real. also because i dream of sending my kids to an english school from yr 1 to the end of the secondary school so they will learn 2 languages as their first one, plus i d like them to have hobbies i couldnt afford so i ll have to be a sexy mama busting my ass for them. if you didnt look into vids then look into clips4sale as there are simple great selling fetishes such as eating, feet, pantyhose, sneezing... some ladies say it s a great passive incomeas long as you frequently update.

    I think that it's not so much a question of if you CAN do camming as a living later on, it's a question of if You'll WANT to, or be burned out on it.
    I'm older, too, and have always been in the(since i was 18 years old) adult industry, (even while being in a corporate job), and I can tell You that it's the feeling of 'same old, same old' mindset that is the problem.
    Menopause is a BITCH to contend with, and since I'm now in an early menopause, much earlier than most, lots of things in the body change, so 'sex' loses its interest.
    I trudge through, because IMO sex work is the only way to make money in a 'man's world'.
    Just my 2 cents.

    Thats the thing isnt it; once we start camming its hard to think about having a vanilla job and working for pennies! Then what about all that time that we spend commuting to a vanilla job.
    So yeah, its good camming. The only thing that I miss is human contact! I have hardly seen anyone since i started camming, then there is the lack of exercise. Still, I would love to cam as long as poss. May think about the videos that you suggested.

    Hmm, good point. I guess camming is more difficult if you do not enjoy it due to menopause and the lack of sex drive that could go with it. Luckily my hormones are high due to pre-menopause. What happens later I dread to think. Good for you for still working.

    I think the benefit of starting camming later in life is that you've already got work experience in regular jobs and it will be easier to go back to it than if you started camming straight from school.

    Another benefit of starting later in life, and by that i mean anything older then 30, is the appearance pressures arnt as hard to deal with.
    Older women are more comfortable in their bodys, and think they are beautiful, as with MOST younger women, they worry about every little
    thing, and if someone insults their appearance, they take it to heart.

    I know i do, its lightening up the older i get, and the more experience i get.
    I may be wrong, thats just how i feel when i watch cam girls..
    Older women dont set and argue with men either, arguing with men is such a huge turn off for everyone els in the room.

    Again , heres a disclaimer, This is MY opinion, well observation, if your younger or older and dont feel like this applies to you
    then it dosnt.

    You may have a point there, at least its the case with me. I could have never cammed in my twenties or even thirties. I was soo insecure and had zero sex drive. Now, its a different case.

    I'm an older woman who didn't start camming till a few years ago. The thing that surprises me most is that a lot of my customers are young men. I do have a few older regulars but 99% are under 30. A lot of young guys adore older women. I'm 53 and I don't take off any years.

    Buffy, you are right. I refuse to argue with guys. It's a waste of precious time and energy. I love the compliments and adoration but some of these guys are funny in how they compliment. For example, they might say "You're old but hot". Stuff like that just makes me laugh. Sometimes I correct them....It's "older" honey, not "old" LMAO

    I don't know how long I will keep camming but I plan to keep at it as long as I physically can. I do have physical limits because of back problems. Luckily, most guys are very understanding about that.

    I do mostly vanilla shows on cam but I have a c4s fetish store. I only cam 1 to 3 days a week so I don't make a whole lot but it sure helps!

    I've often thought about when I would hang up the towel. I'm actually doing better now 6 years after I started camming and I'm middle-aged. I often get mistaken for much younger and I have to attribute much of that to the fact that I don't smoke, I don't drink much alcohol, I stay away from tanning beds or use lots of sunscreen when I do get some sun, I eat fairly well/drink lots of water, and exercise regularly . My body may not be what it used to, but my confidence and experience make up for it. I'll quit when I burn out.

    I'm 46, only start camming 2 years ago, and I'm open about my age...I'm also surprised by how many young guys have a thing for older women, and their mothers! I'm often asked to be mother/aunt which I find weird...not because it's family but because I don't feel that old! My child is only 12 and I'm not an aunt in real life. Most guys assume that I Domme too, I don't know if that's because of my age or because so many girls on AW do Domme...they look at my profile pics and then choose to ignore them, especially the school girl ones apparently.

    I'm doing this until I can get my restaurant off the ground (or I can't balance both). I might quit when I get out of college to avoid getting outted but I plan on continuing until I don't have to work for anyone but myself.

    I'm going to do this as long as i can, Im starting to invest in other areas adult and non adult but i love camming and it's done alot for me. I don't see myself wanting to quit any time soon but i do know that if and when it does happen it will b because of burn-out. Which is crazy to think why isn't the money enough to not get burnt out? I mean i do pretty well and there's days when i just can't. I still do 25-35 hours a week but i occasionally take a day off during the week unexpectedly, I guess u can't really put a price on your sanity because i know some days i just don't feel like talking to men. Lol

    Im just curious?! Where do u "older" women cam?! My mom is actually 55 and struggling to make ends meet she knows what i do and i've told her she should try it.
    I work on SM and Ifriend. I think ifriends would be a little too slow for her and im wondering if SM may just scare her at first? Any suggestions on a good starting point for her? Thanks so much!
