Signs of tough financial times: Rich cutting back on gifts to mistresses

Finding a sugar daddy might not be as lucrative as it used to be.

I'd like to thank my many social-networking friends who posted a link to this WSJ blog post about the rich cutting back on payments to their mistresses and kept men.

About 80 percent of the 191 people who elected to answer the question said they would cut back on the lavish gifts, dinners and trips they showered on the other halves of their extramarital affairs. 

Surprisingly,

... (to me, anyway) women actually maintained their payments to paramours, or even increased them, during hard financial times, according to the survey. A third of the respondents were women, and all had net worths of more than $20 million.

Still think you have a potential future as a sugar daddy or "sugar baby"? (the new term for the object of a sugar daddy's attention ... not sure it's an improvement over 'kept woman')? Click the link above to read how to find a one --- and Maryann's take on them --- over at Baltamour.
