    Default Imagine yourself retiring....

    Well even though we love camming and addicted to it. It's not like we will do this forever, right?

    So i been wondering....

    How do you see yourself after retiring as a cam model?
    What are you going to do?
    and at what age do you want to retire?

    I think I will try and find some work in phlebotomy (I am certified phlebotomist) or to volunteer with Red Cross. Or to help my hubby to start his Dutch bakery. He makes bitchin pies and meringue cookies. Mmm. Also, to do some of rental real estate. I already hold one on top of my home. So, I will try to cam as much as I can for next couple years for an additional home for rental purposes.

    I want to retire at 30. Ain't happening cuz I will be 30 in few months. Haha.

    I think about retiring from camming every.single.day

    I have no idea what I will replace it with yet though. I figure I just need to find a bunch of other small projects on the internet that I can make money with.

    Since I don't currently have any savings I just assume that I will be working somehow through the internet till the day I die.

    ^^Ditto! I think about retiring a lot. Especially since I haven't had a vacation in over 6 years. Or a day off-(well, not a day-off where I wasn't worried about not having enough money).
    I thought I had the ability to retire a few years ago, when the company I slaved for went under, and all of my investments with it!
    I think back to when I had moved to a retirement community in the California desert,(Palm Springs). preparing to retire, and just travel dance. and It was the happiest and most relaxed time I have had in a long time.
    I was surrounded by active seniors, who were truly enjoying their lives!
    I know I'm not the type of person to not do anything and just go sit on a beach somewhere, (plus I hate the beach), just an example, but not having financial pressures would be a huge relief.

    Funny you posted this because I was talking to my bf about this same thing. Was wondering if there will be a market for a 70 year old tattooed cam old lady or if I will indeed have to retire at some point *pouts*
    I've always wanted to become a chef , pastry chef sounds like the most fun. So in the next few years I'll be attending culinary school for that and that will be my next venture once I can't cam any longer. But to be honest as long as it's making me money and I'm profiting enough to live comfortably I'm sticking with camming/PSO - I quit my vanilla job Jan 5th and I've never felt more stress free and happy about work. So I hope I have many many years to go with camming

    I will retire from cam July 12, 2014 so 6 months basically. I plan on going on a long burn out vacation, and coming back home to re-launch my business. I can't wait! As far as actual retirement, I plan on retiring at 45-50. I'll be a billionaire by then so why not?

    I'm currently investing my money for retirement. My partner and I do own some stocks that he manages. (He has his degree in economics and I know shit about it). Saving is important. Since we both own our businesses we 35% of earning in one account for taxes and 15% in another for retirement. While the 50% we split between general savings and checking.

    I also draw stock art, so each month I get maybe around $200 which I put 65% in my retirement fund.

    So investing and saving are key. It also helps to have something else in you basket to save for retirement.

    I plan on retiring maybe in my forties.

    This is something my BF and I argue about constantly. He would love for me to get out of the industry, but brewing part time just can't pay the bills, especially while he's getting his doctorate. Plus, I LOVE camming. I'd love to do this until I have a kid, take a year or two off, and then go right back to it until I'm ready to leave. I'm not a huge fan of being tied to one person, so the scenario of being a single mother crosses my mind at least once a day. If that's the case, I'll cam and make clips until I give birth, take a couple months off, and hop right back on the clip/camming train. Maybe once I'm in the 35-40 range, I'll be ready to brew full time. I'd love to go out with a bang... publish a sex tape with a celeb or some such. Oh well. I have time to plan.

    I do not see myself retiring. In fact that's like my worst fear. I am one of the girls who adores her profession and I am lost without it. Some complain when they have no days off...I dread having days off. Doing what I do is what makes me happy. And I think if you pick the right niches for yourself you don't really need to ever retire. Sure those catagories might not be the same right now when your young as they will be when your older though.

    Retiring from cam one day just means you move on to something else. It's those that retire and sit around all day who die, really!
    I see me leaving cam in a couple years this time for good! I am making videos now while I still look pretty good.

    When I am all done with Cam, I already have a Dog Rescue that I have built many many years ago. I will the be looking for people to get involved and help me run a thrift store for money to feed and adopt out homeless dogs. I have saved for this, but keep taking money out because dogs and pups I always get in need all their shots and to be altered. Heart Worms are a problem in Florida too. That will be my retirement.
    I love it! Worked today with a large Animal Shelter for 4 hours trying to do a dog adoption expo. Turn out was great! I walk the dogs, talk about the dogs and do a meet and greet with the dogs I handle for the public. Also learn about any 'problems' the dogs may have with other dogs, children etc.
    As well as take my own dogs and pups that are turned over to me to greetings.

    Love it! My passion! My retirement!

    That's awesome Camigirl! I really admire that.

    I really think you can look good at any age if you take care of yourself. Get enough sleep, moisturize, lots of water and vitamins

    I just never let myself get bored. I'm kinda like madonna reinventing myself every few years. I've pretty much done it all.
    I started out as a phone operator. didn't take me long to realize I could make more not working for a phone sex company for 25 cents a minute so within a week or 2 I jumped right into camming on my own. I've done voyeur cams.
    Webcam sites. Token sites ( i hate those the most) Videos. writing for other people

    I pretty much do not do webcam at this point. I am completly independant though so I still have some of my regulars I see a couple times a week. And I spend all my time doing videos or writing.
    But I'm sure in a year or to I'll be bored and go back to being on webcam. I do so many different things I just kinda keep them in rotation

    Same with apperance I change it up every few years. I started out as this innocent childlike girl who sucked lollipops and completly submissive. My name when I started was even Kandee. it's embarrassing. Then I moved to changing my name and being a scary evil goth chick. Then pretty pinup. I'm kinda back to my evil phase now, but at least my makeup skills have improved.

    I think the overly important thing for the ones who want to make it last is to simply use your time wisely. I'm not saying work our asses off while we are young and get nothing else done. I actually worked the least this year...didn't even webcam and I made more than I ever have before. But what I am saying is to just try to collect as much of yourself as you can now. Especially for those girls like me who do videos. It's really nothing to record 1-2 extra videos a day if your already dressed and recording.
    And do as many different videos as you can. Fetishes are kinda trendy. ( and by that I mean take any of you who have worked on niteflirt or such places, you might in one day get 5 people call and ask you to do something weird like stick cheese all over your body. you never know what the new trend will be or what will be popular in 3 years.)

    So for me my goals are to hopefully just record a shit ton of content while I am younger and maybe it'll stockpile up for later.

    I don't ever really want to retire from camming or making clips. Although I think as I get older I will do fetish and femdom only as it's less boring for me. I want to keep doing cam/clips/phone forever because it's a huge return for very little time invested, so I can cam like 6 hours a week, or do clips and make a nice chunk of money to put towards owning property.

    But I don't want this to be my PRIMARY income beyond the next 5 years. It's just too scary for me when things are slow and I worry about it too much. I hope my desired vanilla job doesn't find all my femdom porn and fire me, but hey it's not like I have a time machine, so I have to take that chance.

    Im 26 now, i dnt think ill ever retire. Even if 5 years from now i decide to get back into the beauty industry i think ill always do this on the side even if only for 10 hours a week. I know theres a market for older women. This is the biggest return for the shortest amount of time for me.

    It's difficult to imagine myself retired from cam work, i dont know what else i could do in my situation as i have cammed since 2001 with 2 years break sometimes in 2007-2008. I have a huge gap in my CV and not a profession actually, all i had here were bad paid jobs where i was slavering the company & been treated like shit.
    I wish i could leave cam work but i know i have no chances with vanilla work by now as i am 39 already and i have some health issues, mostly back pain every day and vision/ eyes issues.
    Now i just hope i can still cam and make money tho i dont know how industry will change in the next years. If cam work would still be lucrative in the future, even i cant cam myself i think i can 'train' a young slim girl to work together with me (i am the brain she is the performer on cam) and live here with me after my son is moving out.
    In this EE country a lot of students from country area would be happy to make a living and earn good money from cam work.
    My biggest fear is 'what i would do at age 65 when i am supposed to get a pension when i only have 3 years on my book working officially?'. Guess till then i would be either dead, married with a guy who has a nice pension himself, my son would maybe look after me or i will live off govt. support if things change for better in this country. Will see, lol
    I just know i dont wanna be a slave working vanilla job for minimum wage salary & be treated like shit and fired when they feel like they dont need/ want me anymore.
    I hate how foreign companies here treat workers, they offer low salaries and slave people sucking their last drop of power and energy then throw them away when they ask for a salary raise or other benefits.

    I'm pretty "meh" about camming overall. I like it when I make a lot of money. But in general I'm a pretty introverted, quiet person and I don't think I really belong in front of a camera. I already make some money from writing and affiliate marketing. I'm working towards replacing my cam income with that, but it's taking a while. As soon as I don't HAVE to cam anymore, I probably won't, unless the money happens to be REALLY good (like if I can get back to $100+/hour regularly).

    I'm also studying web development and programming pretty hardcore. I'd like to have the skills and portfolio to be able to go out and get a real job in the tech industry, or maybe start my own business. I keep going back in forth in my head whether going back to conventional employment would be a good thing. Arrghhhh camming is awesome in a lot of ways but it really does spoil us I think in terms of how we view careers/finance/money/etc.
