A man who maximizes his Roth IRA contributions. Woof!

Right now Blaine is my favorite https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/140696-blaine-in-miami-ft-lauderdale/

I have been seeing Blaine every time I visit Ft Lauderdale annually since 2018. I highly recommend. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/25925/

I saw Karl last week, based on his mention in this thread. The meeting was satisfactory. If you're looking for very sensual massage at a reasonable price, he's your guy. But there are plenty of other massuers in Ft Lauderdale who offer better deep tissue massage and/or more erotic elements, so he won't be becoming one of my regulars.

I would NEVER let a masseuse sit on my face. 🤢 🤮 But a massuer... Have a seat!

I have. I won't stay there again. Overpriced, money focused, not a gay hotel. They are "gay friendly", but which hotel isn't these days? Can't be naked at their pool. Staying there offers no discounts or access to their beach club. Stay at a different hotel a little further north, closer to the nighttime action in Romantic Zone. You can always visit their beach during the day, but their hotel on top of a hill is a far walk at night and goodluck getting an Uber or taxi to pick you up there, it's just too out of the way for them.

I've been to many clothing optional men-only hotels in Ft Lauderdale and Palm Springs ever since I was 28. You will find that most of the guests at any of these hotels are over 50, as the young ones just aren't as comfortable with their bodies.

In Alaska, you'll find single men on land up there working for the summer... And they're horny as hell. When you get into port, turn on your Grindr. The whole page won't even fill up because it's so desolate, but I managed to have sex in almost every port. Locations to meet up are still hard to find: I had sex in the bathroom of a guy's commercial office, I had sex in the basement of a realtor's client's house, I had sex in the break room behind the front counter of a hotel. This was all on a 13 night Alaska cruise and land tour

Grindr In Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone, look for Grindr profiles with the 💆emoji, then offer a price for massage and penetration at your hotel room. When you find a winner, keep his number for future visits.

PA out for oral (not worth losing a tooth over), but in for anal. May tear the condom, so prepare to be bread

I spent 3 weeks in Puerto Vallarta over Christmas and New Year's. I had a massage every day. Prices ranged from: Low end (but not always guaranteed a Happy Ending): Advertised 700 pesos ($35 US) for 1 hour massage; I would give them 1000 pesos ($50 US) total including tip at the end of they have me a good massage and Happy Ending. Happy endings varied from hand jobs, to oral, to fingering Mid range: 600 pesos ($30 US) for 30 minute upper body or lower body massage in a chair on the gay beach. Out in the open, so nothing sensual; but, damn it feels nice to have your muscles worked on while facing the ocean, having drinks delivered to you, and watching gorgeous men in speedos walk by! High end, but guaranteed sex: I would offer 1500-2000 pesos ($75-100 US) to massuers to come to my hotel room and give massage and bareback sex. Did this several times with several great guys. I usually wanted 2 hours and offered 3000-4000 pesos ($150-200 US) pesos for 2 hour massage and bareback penetration. Very high end: Strippers and RentMen ask 4000 pesos ($200 US). While they're nice to look at, in my experience the RentMen don't give a good massage, and the Strippers won't offer anal. I do have a regular stripper who works at 69 who will come by my hotel room on his way to work, and let me give him a blowjob for 700 pesos ($35 US), but I won't book a full hour with him because I've tried it and he just doesn't do it for me. He looks good, he gives great lap dances, but he's just not a massuer or escort.

Anal disgusted me for about 10 years until my very late 20s. I wouldn't/couldn't watch images of anal. I would fast forward through the middle sections of gay porn.... Just watching initial oral scenes and final climax at the end. By my late 20s, I graduated from oral only to a little bit of anal (both top and bottom). Now at 40, I don't even want a blowjob. Just go straight for the ass, please!

For Super Bowl Sunday, I'll be boarding the Vacaya all gay Caribbean cruise that afternoon

Don't be too disheartened. That sounds about right. I, too, have maxed my Roth IRA contributions for 22 years, and the balance is bouncing around $215K right now (was $240K at start of 2022, $195K at end of 2022). That means you have been averaging about 8% per year net of fees... Around average for 20 years. Some could achieve higher averages north of 10% if they were as knowledgeable and active as @Kevin Slater, but many investors achieve less than 5% because they get scared and sell when the market falls, and wait until it goes up before buying again. The nice thing is... Even if you don't add to it or change your investments, your $225K should be $500K when you're 50 and $1M when you're 60. And that's all TAX FREE for just being patient and waiting and not having to work or actively manage it. But I agree with @Kevin Slater, know what you're invested in. Start with an s&p500 index fund, which means you'll know you're invested in the 500 largest companies in the United States. When you feel like learning more about investing in middle and small sized companies, then branch out and invest in funds for those. TIP: Before you invest in any fund, ask to read its "Prospectus". The Prospectus for a mutual fund is like a Syllabus for a college class... It tells you what to expect. You wouldn't continue in a college course without reading the syllabus on the first day, so you shouldn't invest in a mutual fund without reading its Prospectus.

I think retirement accounts are like my government pension... It's not going to make you rich, but it will keep you from being poor

Agree 💯 This was my same first impression when I visited Johnson's when they first opened. I think Spunk at the Monster Bar in New York City took notice, and have installed tablets in each booth with timers showing the $ owed in real time like a taxi meter, with a rate of $20 per 5 minutes (better deal than $20/song, since most songs are 3 minutes on average). I was originally put off by the idea, but once I experienced it I loved it! No more trying to listen to songs while receiving a lap dance to make sure the dancer isn't scamming me. But at Johnson's, that's never been a problem anyway

I rarely tip a self-employed massuer or escort. The exceptions being if they're both (1) underpriced for the market and (2) provided an outstanding above-average memorable experience. Even then, I usually leave a small tip ($40?) but ask to book again immediately (a few days later if traveling, or a few weeks later if at home) to let them know I fancy their service. I have never had a problem scheduling a repeat service with a provider to whom I only paid advertised rate with no gratituity.

I read somewhere that, statistically, salary for men peaks at age 38 adjusted for inflation. For women, it's sometime in their 40s. The best financial decisions are made at age 53.

I was told sitting Indian style is also called "Butterfly Style"

I was in YMCA Indian Guides. I fear that the next generation will not have the knowledge and respect for American Indian customs and values that were once revered, but instead come to view the group only as a marginalized minority with no knowledge of their rich history or values

It's definitely a balancing act to live for today and save for the future. I probably over-saved a little bit in my 20s, but not so much that I avoided life entirely. It did take conscious sacrifice/planning in my 20s. I did live with my parents until age 25. I went to public community college and university, so no student debt. I bought a used car in my 20s and drive it to this day. In my 20s I didn't cruise or fly, but instead drove to nearby states and was very content with the simple joys of hiking, backpacking, canoeing. I knew that every dollar saved in my 20s will be 8 dollars in my 60s. A dollar invested in my 30s is only going to be worth 4 dollars my 60s, or half as much as a dollar invested in my 20s. In my 20s I saved 45% of my income, and my employer saved 15% of my income (but we're both exempt from social security and disability tax) for a grand total of 60% of my income every year. In my 30s I dropped my savings rate to 35%, and this year I dropped it to 25%. My employer continues to match 15% of my salary. I will retire at 45. In hindsight, I could have moved out from parents at 23 instead of 25, but that was in the peak of the 2005/2006 real estate bubble. I was saving for a down payment on a house, and knew we were in a housing peak. I'm glad I waited 2 years until 25 for the bubble to burst before buying. I could have waited until the housing market bottomed at age 30, but I am happy with my decision to move out and live life at age 25.

Unfortunately, brothels are outlawed in the "progressive" blue counties of Nevada, which includes Clark County where Las Vegas is. Clark County is bigger than the entire state of New Jersey! So, the nearest legal brothels have to be in the rural red counties, which happen to be 50-100 miles from Las Vegas.

My 3 buckets: 1. Roth retirement accounts. Tax free withdrawals. Invested 90% stocks and 10% bonds, through low fee mutual funds. High risk but high reward. This bucket is for long term play money. 2. Pension. Subject to taxes. Indexed to inflation. Replaces my current income from retirement until death. No survivor benefit. Automatically raises with inflation each year. This bucket is for daily living expenses. It's stable and prodictable. 3. Real estate. Right now I rent out rooms in my house. I like this arrangement better than renting out an entire house. I may not always go this, but it's nice to have. I travel a lot, so having a housemate I trust who pays rent be there to watch the place while I'm away is a nice feeling.
