What Do You Do and What Do You Make?

I thought the Cam Girl's one was interesting:

$284,000

$104,000 from taxable income (escorting, porn, cam modeling)

$160,000 from nontaxable income (cash gifts from partner for living expenses)

$20,000 from investment income

> In 2024, I made $800,000, and the year before that, I made $1.2 million. But last year, I took a kind of maternity leave to get to know my primary partner’s children. I also started a business helping adult-industry professionals with their finances. The industry has the NFL problem where people get a great deal of money in a short period of time and then they retire with very little because they don’t know how to handle their money. Escorting comes and goes in waves. A lot of girls say they’re making less money these days camming — for many reasons, including age-verification laws and foreign competition. Clients can pay a Ukrainian something like 50 cents a minute instead of paying you $6 a minute.
