This is a really good point. Who TF is paying for this? I recently read about a woman who makes $4MM a month.

[Mik]

I guess it's like a strip club where you think they really like you. Why anyone would pay for porn is beyond me.

[Jolly]

In the first place, very few people make the big money on Only Fans. In the second place, I don't understand it. Paying for sex with a professional? A bad thing to do, but there is some type of physical sexual intimacy and gratification.

Only Fans? It's a computer screen, people...

[jon-nyc]

Exactly. I’m not shocked that people pay a little. But how can it scale so? Even if just for a few stars?

[Axtremus]

If one can pay millions for a duct taped banana …

[Horace]

Mind slaves are free over on BlueSky. The currency there is "It breaks my heart" or "I'm terrified". You can trade those phrases for mind slaves.

I don’t know the model, but isn’t most of it live? And the whores models respond to viewer suggestions based on tips?

[LuFins Dad]

As a reminder, there were articles this past year regarding AI Girlfriends and guys sinking hundreds of thousands of dollars into them.

[jon-nyc]

That’s incredibly sad.

[Axtremus]

If it's all about fantasies anyway, for sure the virtual stuff can accommodate fantasies better. AI is just taking the virtual stuff to the next level.

WTF do these people do for a living?

I have been surprised to find out how many of these kids are investing and investing early. A 28 year old lady that works for me does okay as a salesperson, but most of her income is through day trading. Evidently, there are large groups of these young kids doing so. A friend of Luke’s has been trying to talk him into getting into the markets.

The girl was the one that convinced me to put allow himself few dollars into Rocket Lab about 6 weeks ago.

Which is great, until the market crashes. And it will happen again. We will certainly have another recession. We will certainly have another depression.

Best of luck to them.

Kids screw up because they’re overconfident and too sure of their own infallibility and they overestimate themselves.

Older adults screw up by underestimating kids and their abilities.

The girl has 40% of her portfolio in stable growth options, but the 60% is invested in very aggressive companies.The money that she actually uses from her investments on a monthly basis comes from a CD ladder her father helped her build. Every month a CD closes, she takes the interest earned into her checking, and gets a new CD with the principal. When the market stalls or even crashes, her philosophy is to hold. Maybe even buy a little. It’s a sound philosophy, and she continues to work and teach piano on the side.

My son’s friend graduated with an engineering degree and is currently working at Lockheed Martin. He’s making $70K a year, but it will be higher very quickly, and they are going to help pay for him to get his Master’s, which will skyrocket his pay. He’s also staying at home with his parents for a year or two. He’s probably being over aggressive with his stocks, but will have the financial security to afford the mistakes, and he’s smart enough to learn from them.

Luke’s discussing a 15% approach. Taking 10% of his income into an IRA, and 5% for market investing. If he can hold to that, I think he’ll be fine.

[Horace]

I'm glad young people are getting into the market.

You could rent a real one every night for that price. Or a really great one once a week.

I have no earthly idea what the going rate is.

[LuFins Dad]

There's a real movement among some Gen Z and Millenial men to not get married or even date girls. They aren't gay, but they just aren't interested in today's women and are honestly concerned about forming any significant and personal attachment

[Horace]

I can easily imagine the culture drifting towards that sort of attitude.
