    I get credit cards, always pay off at end of the month. Airline travel cards, need to spend a certain amount of money in 3 months. Usually get a new airline credit card right before Halloween, then do typical holiday shopping, pay off at end of week, and get full reward points from the airline. I’m going to try KLM Air France card this season.

    Tony Vega.   He sent me a text ten minutes before our meeting time saying he was running behind.   Wasn't a big deal, just grabbed something to eat and met him a half hour after our schedule appointment.   Wanted paid up front and then a half hour into the scene said we needed to finish up because his business partner was scheduled to be there any minute   Refused to refund the other half hour and then had the balls to ask for a tip.   And the encounter wasn't that good anyway.
    Wasn't screwed financially but still feel screwed over by Micky Mackenzie.   We did a BDSM scene a long time when he was in my area back during the brief time period when he was trying to prodom (he's anything but now).    I was blindflolded during the scene and found out a few days later he video'd part of it.   A friend of mine called (who doesn't know I hire but knows I'm into bdsm) asking how my scene went with Micky and he didn't know he was in the area.   Asked how he knew and he said there was a video on his social media account of him whipping me.   While my face wasn't shown my voice wasn't masked out and he recongnized the voice.   And he ignored my text requesting to take it down and had the nerve to contact me when he was back up here a few months later.   Too bad becaue it was a hot encounter.   I wouldn't have even minded if he would hae asked my permission and masked my voice he should have had at least the coutesty to take it down when I asked him to (and I think I even told him it was ok to keep it up if he would send me the video clips and mask my voice out)

    One thing I like about big banks is that I travel a lot and it's easier to find their branches and ATMs and most big banks have an investment division.   I'm getting aroudn 4.5% on my money market at my bank which isn't the greatest return but at least if I want to make a stock purchase I can transfer it to my investment account right away and make the trade.  And an investment account factors into the composite balance for fee waivers.
    Suze Orman did a podcast yesterday on 30 year treasury bonds.   Thinking of doing dollar cost averaging into those like she suggested.   I've doing four 30 day t-bill ladders so I have on maturing each week   It's paying a little over five percent and I get the money in my bank account as soon as it matures and I live in a state with a high state tax and it's nice the interest is tax free

    Not sure if that protects your assets though if you go on disability or just medicaid.
    My lawyer recomended against it and told me him and his husband (also a lawyer) both have revcoable living trusts and thats how he set mine up.
    For a trust to protect your assets against medicaid, it has to be irrevocable and you have to have someone else as a trustee.   I don't want my parents in their 80s to deal with it and I'll probably outlive them and don't want my sister (who is on disability) doing it and if I have the bank as the trustee it will mean paying them 10% of my net worth for a fee each year
    My parents have that kind of trust (they are past the five year look back) and I'm their trustee and if they go to sell their house I have to sign off on the deed, they moved some investments around and I had to sign and when they sold the gas company an easement last year I had to sign on that.   I don't want anyone having to deal with my investments.
    And my lawyer made a great point when I did my estate work (and Suze Orman talked about it a few weeks ago) is that a private care nursing home is a lot better and since I have no kids to leave the money to, do I really want to spend my final years in a substandard medicaid nursing home .

    Yes, the big money center banks are starting to lose deposits to higher rate alternatives elsewhere but it's not a major problem for them so far.  It's amazing how many people don't care if their getting 0.10% on their money.  It's important to at least try to keep up with inflation, you would think.

    Agree.   I looked at my SSA earnings statement the other day and if I am disabled today my monthly payment will be a lot more than if I retire at 62 and only a little less than if I retire at 67   Crazy since I won't be working all those years if I were disabled.   Of course if I was on disability I'd hae to spend down all my assets first

    A friend of mine in LA also got a call from a chase rep and had him come in and invited him to be a private banking customer    Apparently they lowered the requirements to be a private banking customer   They offered him a 12 to 18 month CD at 5 percent but alliant is paying a little better.
    He's been doing what I've been doing and buying 30 day t-bills since the rate is a little over 5 percent and living in California which is a high state tax rate state like mine, not paying state income tax helps a lot.

    He has to be over 33.
    His first kink shoot was 2009 which means he would have had to have been 19 when he did that scene if he really is 33 now and he looks like older than 19 in that video and I know he did mainstream porn before he started working for kink.

    He has aged very well though

    Seen him out and about at bars in Las Vegas. Nice young man. Solid sexy body and yes ginger. I believe he told me he was mexican. He was dating at the time a very fem man... make up etc. Said he liked fem men.
    Fast forward a few months and I was at chill bar in palm springs. He was dancing there so I got to see the whole body. Beautiful! I'm an ass man and baby has some flap jack's on him! Never a hire but from his actions towards me I would say go for it. Also read his rentmen ad as to his do's and dont's

    Haven't heard of this porn star until today when they posted a new video on kinkmen.   HOT and reminds me of a young connor macquire (not sure why his add says he's latin).   Normally not into gingers but him and Connor are definitely exceptions and as soon as I saw the video I went over to rentmen and he has an ad up and I'll be in Vegas in a few weeks:)  Anyone been with him?   He only has one review

    First time I noticed this overseas, but I used an ATM in London a couple weeks ago and like a lot of credit card terminals, it gave me the option to have the charge done in british pounds or $USD.    The exchange rate was absurd.   I chose pounds and the amount charged by my bank on 300 pounds was almost $60US less than what the atm quoted me in $USD.

    Same for my Chase Sapphire Account.  I think any major US bank offers a premium checking account that allows international ATM withdrawals without charging a fee and does the transaction at the prevailing foreign exchange rate at the time.   Easy peasy.   Even if you're only going to Canada and/or Mexico 2-3 times per year, this is much better than changing money at airports or foreign exchange offices.  Obviously just my 2 cents.

    I ended up meeting him and my experience wasn't that great.
    His playrooms were cool, one was in the attic   He lives towards the end of the northern line.
    He was a nice guy but a lot older than 34 and the photos are either really old or seriously photoshopped.  
    One thing I really hated was he smoked.   But what really pissed me off was when e finished up that he dragged out the session and had the nerve to say we went an hour over but would accept a half hour payment   He spent a lot of the scene talking about where he bought his stuff at and spent a lot of time playing around with his tv trying to get porn on and deciding on the right music to play and wasted at least a half hour there (I was probably there just a little over 90 minutes).   He also didn't play as intense as I wanted.
    I'll stick with Master Alecs or Master Aaron next time I'm in London.   It's too bad because his playrooms were amazing.
