Ali Gator Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Completely lacking in humility and any self-awareness, this 22 yo Chicago Rentboy shares his monthly expenses ($13,300+) with us. Let's hope he's banking some of that cash before he hits his 30s.

+ BenjaminNicholas Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I mean, he's young and working the social media angle. It's all for the views/likes. If he's lucky, he'll eventually save and invest. Also, if he's lucky, he'll develop an actual level of good taste and not just go for expensive shiny shit. As a rentboy in my 20s, I did some of this. Spent $15k a month on random garbage, travel, cars, food, etc. Hindsight being 20/20, I'd have dumped most of it into my portfolio and doubled my money, but what's done is done. It was, however, a very fun few years of complete irresponsibility Edited December 9, 2023 by BenjaminNicholas pubic_assistance, soloyo215, Luv2play and 13 others 9 1 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Belgium Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 As a client, in my opinion, it would be a turn off knowing he probably would waste most of the money. marylander1940, pubic_assistance, Ali Gator and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has more to do with being smart than having 'luck'. If he's smart enough, he will save and invest (and engage in a trusted financial adviser who is not his client). If he's smart enough he will develop a level of good taste via learning from others - and not just buy the tacky shit thinking he's 'impressive'. It looks like he's very impressionable by name brands on garbage. soloyo215 and pubic_assistance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloyo215 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think it's a generational thing. I find it tacky and even dangerous (doesn't he realize that there are people out there trying to know who has money and who doesn't?). However, like BenjaminNicholas pointed out, to them, getting views, likes and social media fame is very important, maybe more important than their own privacy or safety. The action of posting his finances is not a turnoff for me, nor do I care about what people decide to do with the money they make, nor I'm nobody to feel that he should or should not make a given amount of money. That's just none of my business. However, the immaturity about sharing this information about his own money may transfer into other aspects, such as sharing information about his clients, which is a major issue to me. How do I know that he might get the "wonderful" idea of posting information about his clients, just to get views and likes? + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just none of my business. So long as you're not a client of his, wouldn't his 'sharing information about his clients' also fall under your list of 'none of my business' ? Why would that be a major issue to you if you have no business dealings with him ? I honestly don't understand the personal concern on your part. (If I was one of his clients, I'd worry). marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Gator Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 What I don't understand - he said his rent includes a gym as one of the amenities, yet he pays $500+ for an outside gym membership (he was paying around $200/mo but then it went up when he changed to the 'Chicago' location). Why not use the gym on the premises ? nate_sf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acks0104 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm not someone who spends frivolously but when it comes to others, honestly who cares? It's really none of our business if he's literally flushing his cash down a toilet because it's his money. There are some men here who will easily spend 6 figures a year hiring escorts and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would say that's a huge waste of money, but it doesn't matter. Let the young be dumb. Some people get so judgemental with age and act as if every decision they've made has been stellar. + BenjaminNicholas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By sharing all this on Insta, and asking viewers for 'budgeting tips', he's making this anyone's business. He wants us to care about how he's spending his money, and asks for help ("So if you have any budgeting tips, post them down below", he says.) How much one cares is an individual's decision. If he said 'This is how I spend my money, so don't judge me' , then that would be a different scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not use the gym on the premises ? I assume the gym in his building is good enough for most people but not people seriously into body building. For example, I think the maximum dumbbell weight in my condo gym is 70 pounds; more than I'll ever need, but I definitely saw guys using heavier weights when I went to an actual gym. In terms of weight plates, I also don't think there are enough of those in high enough weights to provide a challenge to serious weightlifters. There's also not a lot of room to work out due to all of the equipment in the gym. But the other reason might be that he likes the social scene of the gym. Where I live, there generally are only a couple of people in the gym at any one time. There were more people at the real gym I used to go to at 4:00 a.m.! + Vegas_Millennial and Ali Gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of money isn't nearly enormous for Chicago. Enormous is having the disposable income of the Pritzker family.
