If you have money to pay for something that should be naturally free, you are wealthy to begin with. Inflation only affects poor people. Wealthy people can afford $20 more per tank of gas without changing their driving habits.

Wealthy people already knew to buy into the S&P500 later in the year which will make up for more than what inflation has cost them in consumer spending. Once the war with Russia ends the market will not be where it is today. Prepare yourself today.

"Inflation only affects poor people" is simply wrong.

Inflation might affect wealthy people less. It still affects them.

And, poorer people can also be mongers. I know people who can only afford one trip to an aamp a month or so. Doesn't make them any less of monger brothers to me.

End of the day, I think business at these orgs are down. I just don’t see them sustaining these high rates much longer. Monger traffic slowing and eventually the market situation will hit these orgs.

If they are struggling to put food on the table but allocated funds to this hobby instead, inflation isn't their biggest problem...

That's not what darkwingbuck said. We all have our individual circumstances and constraints, financial and otherwise. Unless someone is being unsafe or disrespectful, I'm not going to judge their choices, especially when I'm not even aware of what those choices are.

Like Dino88 said, I did not say they're struggling to put food on the table.

The post I was replying to made an assumption that all mongers in the hobby must be wealthy. This isn't a valid assumption.

There are people out there who could afford to see 7 girls a week and those who could only afford to see one girl a month. Both are mongers, both have equal rights to discuss/complain/praise on this board.

There isn't a single difference to me between wealthy and non-wealthy mongers. And imo fellow mongers shouldn't look down on other mongers because they earn less money.
