R8000 rent (average).
R2500 medical aid (children as well)
R2000 (school fees)
R1000 (electricity)
R500 (data)
R3000 (food for family)


R17 000.

This isnt taking into account: car payments, loans, debt, studies, medical, beauty, gym memberships etc.

Even if a SP was earning R20k a month, would be easy to see how hard it would to get some kind of savings going. It's not an easy situation at all.

Great breakdown and it shows how hard it is to get life going. With the lock down one would need to make R3k a week to support that. Making it three punters a week. One every second day at R1k for 1 hour.

That has to be doable really.

Still risky. But sleeping on the street is riskier.

Seems doable... till you add in factors that some ladies charge half that, or venue fee or room fee or guesthouse fee. Then it comes to something like six punters a week, which is not as doable. There are about 800 ladies on this site, if each lady needed 6 punters a week, that would mean about 4800 punters, punting at least once a week. With the social distancing and businesses affected overall and what may be a forced lock down....those numbers really make it less doable.

All im concerned about is 8k rent and making sure my pets are sorted ; they get a chicken every night. This is no bullshit story, so enough chicken and their pellets.
