Are there any books you'd recommend for women learning how to trade, invest, or otherwise grow their wealth? I'm coming from a poor community and starting pretty close to zero. Even if I don't develop much, I'd still like to have more than I currently do but I don't know where to begin.

I would definitely recommend 

The Wealthy Woman: A Man is Not a Financial Plan: A Woman’s Guide to Achieving Financial Security

Rich Woman: A Book on Investing for Women

A lot of great tips to help you take hold of your finances and to start a plan for your future.

I wouldn’t suggest jumping into trading or starting a new business venture until your basic finances are in place. 

However, some trading books to start with would be:

Market Wizards

Trading In The Zone

Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques 

Bollinger on Bollinger Bands

Feel free to message me.

Do you think Italy has Sugar potential? I am thinking of going there for a 3 month vacation.but i can't really wrap my head around it. Also , how are the men there? some juicy details needed.

lol...well to be quite honest, the Italian economy is not doing so well. That doesn't mean while I was in Rome I saw very well dressed business-men strolling around the inner city neighborhoods. I think you have to stick to the larger metropolitan cities like Rome and Milan. But Italian men are very different to socialize with than let’s say American men. There are certain cultural customs they might use on Italian women (I have heard that Italian women are very stubborn and not easy to approach...this is part of the whole song and dance of trying to pursue and win them over). That’s what I have heard. I honestly was so tired and hot from being in that climate and touring the sites to even notice half the time. Just do some google searching on culture and social norms. 

[exoticsb]

come back :-(

Aw I never check tumblr anymore...but a little birdie informed me of some interesting movements being made on tumblr so I checked it out. I'll try and come back more. As far as updates...still shacked up with my bf (who I left the sugar world for...he takes very good care of me!). I just came back from almost two weeks of traveling throughout Italy...partially with him and then the rest with my friends/family. It was pretty awesome..Italy is top of my list, with Greece which will be on my honeymoon list for sure. I anticipate that I will move In with the bae by the end of this year and we plan on getting married.

King Tut surprised me so much with literally all my favorite things! I was so tired from the early flight but honestly, this made my entire week. It was a spur of the moment trip but it’s such a short flight and a great getaway so I just couldn’t say no. He knows I love white roses and donuts from Dough’s Doughnuts (the nutella one will make you fall in love, I swear to god). The balloons were so adorable and I have no idea how the fuck he even get them all up to his penthouse. At night, he even ordered my absolute obsession (Rocky’s pizza) and pulled out some bottles of Cristal and Dom and we toasted on the balcony and watched the sunset. This is only day one of the trip but I really think King Tut has outdone himself with his kindness. I might post more from this weekend trip but I might be busy. I’m such a happy girl right now.

So sleeping with an SD means you have no morals?

No. I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I slept with a man for money.

[sensei-silvia-blog]

To point out - not on anon - when you make comments like this, it sounds like you’re throwing shade. Maybe that’s why people get salty at you. I don’t particularly care who you sleep with or don’t sleep with, and I live with myself just fine sleeping with rich men and taking their ducats, so your opinion means nothing to me. However, the sugar baby community on Tumblr is pretty small. If you’re going to post stuff and put it in the tag, you should consider your tone and how you sound. There’s enough judgment and stigma around sugaring. Don’t add to that with little side-eye comments like that. The vast majority of sugar babies do have sex with their sugar daddies.

[hrhprincesslana]

lmao loves it how you very articulately and politely explain to her why she’s getting dragged (hint: it has nothing to do with people being upset or jealous over her life or her claim that she’s a platonic sb…) and she ignores you, yet continues to respond to anons and spews the same bullshit rhetoric over and over…

@ the OP, since you clearly are either a troll or incredibly obtuse, let me spell it out for you: no one is mad or jealous of platonic SBs. there have been many a platonic SB who have been very well liked on tumblr- and they didn’t feel the need to constantly remind everyone that they’re platonic, and imply that they are better because of that. you know why? because most people know that a person’s sexual behavior and choices does not define them. no one here cares who you sleep with or don’t sleep with and why or why not. try and get that through your ~pure~ skull

and yes, you do judge and belittle FSSW. saying you don’t doesn’t make it true… like, you’re legit trying to gaslight everyone into thinking that your incredibly judgmental and rude comments about FSSW are acceptable because you don’t explicitly say “you are beneath me.” I mean it’s like the equivalent of a boyfriend always making snide remarks to his girlfriend about how all of his previous girlfriends were better at such and such, but then saying “oh but I’m not saying you’re not as good as them.” like… 

some fun examples:

I mean, are you joking? 

“don’t sell yourself short by not adhering to incredibly antiquated and oppressive notions of a woman’s worth! you too can be a pure and good virginal saint like me! you don’t have to give in to a life of sin!”

“here are some fucked up judgments about escorts, but I don’t judge escorts!” ?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿

and this is not even getting into how unlikely it is that anyone will find a long term (key word: long term) platonic arrangement on the sites, let alone multiple ones, and for the rates that you claim you make… or, how 1-1.5k for a dinner date is really not that incredible a feat as most mid range escorts make just as much if not more as that for a four hour appointment, which usually includes dinner, and, they don’t spend hours and hours of time giving free emotional labor, but w/e lol

anyways, me thinks shez-a-troll, tbh. but like… this needs to be shut down

[dasweethustle-deactivated201611]

LOL. K I don’t want to see anymore of her posts on my dash. I’m done. She’s either a troll or a very young woman who has yet to really experience life and spews bs on tumblr to get some needed attention. Either way, I don’t wanna see someone who is constantly talking down to escorts and REAL sugar babies on my dash.

[sugaredbaby-deactivated20160901]

I’m sorry you feel that way, dasweethustle. I have been through a lot in my life but I don’t want to go on and on about it just to muster up some attention. I’m 23 and in grad school. I am not constantly talking down or insulting escorts on my dash. If you misconstrued something that I’ve said, please let me know so I can delete it or elaborate. Thanks for the feedback and have a good morning!

[exoticsb]

🙄 but you are talking down to and insulting escorts…everyone can read between your bs lines:

i.e. “I just wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I slept with a man for money.”

“There are people out there that just require conversation and intellect. Don’t sell yourself short by selling your body for petty amounts of cash. That’s not sugaring its prostitution.”

What in the hell are you even talking about? I won’t even get into how whore phobic this sounds but that actually sugar babies might be more defined under “dating” someone and by the way some people are intimate with someone they’re dating. AH the horror 😱😱😱

You really need to retreat back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

[sugaredbaby-deactivated20160901]

The things you have been quoting are from long ago and probably have since been deleted. You need to reread what I said about not being able to live with myself if I slept with a stranger. I have best friends that have slept with 30-60 men at my age just as a one night stand.  Nothing wrong with that. I, on the other hand, have never had a one night stand. I have some mental issues that would really damage my mentality if I did it. It has absolutely nothing to do with you or any other sugar baby/sex worker/etc. It is my personal preference not to and I am almost dating someone who would NOT agree with these choices. Please stop digging up the same tired old topics and showing up on my dash. I’m just trying to have fun and pass some time and I’m getting notes nonstop about “yaaaas girl you drag her ugly ass.” You guys are essentially doing the same thing by promoting harassment and suggesting that you are anti-platonic. Just drop it, my god.

And also, “You really need to retreat back to whatever hole you crawled out of.”

Classy.

[exoticsb]

Oh girl don’t even start. Like I said before, your words from before (in “old posts”) clearly state your position on how you view sexwork, and you’re just doing damage control at this point because people are not buying what you’re selling. So NOW you’re singing another tune.

And no nothing deletes from tumblr. FYI if you don’t want it to come back to haunt you, then bite your tongue and learn how to engage with people before you start speaking your mind about something you are not that knowledgable on.

And yes I am classy thank you for noting 😘

[sugaredbaby-deactivated20160901]

I’m sorry but you’re not worth my time. I’m not a child that wants to beat a dead horse and have nothing better to do. Good luck with everything. :)
