Could you retire tomorrow?

Serge and Mike AI are among the lucky ones. They dont have to sweat Visa's next move, worry about how to replace upsell and cross sell income, or fear what the Justice Department might do to all of the evil porn-do'ers.

Their retirement got me to thinking, with all of the money that has been made in this industry, what percentage of the people have invested it well enough that they dont need adult today?

Hell no, but I've got non-adult shit going too. If there's no risk and big reward, put all eggs in one basket. Otherwise, diversify.

I like to think I have enough skills and contacts to get a job in the non-adult world, so I could probably retire from adult and be fine, but retiring completely and living off the $1.56 that I have...probably not

I can live without adult business, but I can't live without PEOPLE I met in the adult business
;-)))

If Oprano dies, I'll be inconsollable
;-))))

Adult is such a small portion of my online income at the moment, that I would be fine.... moved into non-adult at the right time ;-)

I think my mason jars of the good old days atre running out LOL.....

Adult is still going to be a huge money maker, it is just a new frontier...

Long live the legend of Serge!!!!!!

I agree ,Serge.

I could see Oprano evolve into more nonadult areas , as its members do.

I already prolly earn more money in Non adult then I do in adult.

my sentiments exactly

while I can't retire, I'm a highly specialized chef and could easily go back to the restaurant business and make what I do in adult, but it would be 15 hours a day in a kitchen dealing with idiots....I don't want to go back to that until I OWN the restaurant ;-)
