Do you know how many jobs they have created by buying cars and houses? I don't think you and Joe have the kind of brain to know how jobs are created. Keep your eyes on Tesla and see what will happen. Nobody buys Tesla now. Tesla has about 80,000 employees.

So you support car thefts. Is that what you are implying? To say the girls in the spa industry yo keep the car industry afloat is . At the end of the day if people make good money, more cars and houses will be bought. It doesn't have to depend on the spa girls and their industry m you are much dumber than I thought. Listen more and talk less

Of course I know the car industry is big. When gm almost had to fill bankruptcy years ago, Oshawa was nearly fucked and the government had to bail them outm

You see: a guy like krayjee has no fucking clue in terms of what's happening in this country. He uses Tesla (of all brands) as an example of how spa girls are helping our economy:

Tesla cars are now THE MOST HATED CARS in North America - particularly because of Elon Musk! So many Tesla cars are being returned! So, that would give Canadians an even bigger reason to not support spa girls (assuming that they are buying Tesla vehicles). LOL! I'm not kidding - check these out:
Tesla owners are ditching their cars as company’s woes pile up

And, the little pissant 24hrs is back, like a fucking lapdog to the rescue. You know that residue, the shit you scrape off the bottom of yer shoes, that's u boy

This guy never made it in life. Full blown loser. Negative and miserable.
He never got over the fact that his dad was and asshole or his mom was a bitch or his uncle touched his peepee.

Instead he uses it as an excuse to justify his pathetic existence and goes through life every day jealous of the high frequency mother fuckers that dealt with the bullshit that life handed them and go get it every day.

Just a miserable fake the spends all day every day on MP switching between his endless fake handles, lying and misleading.

Too late to change now sad sack. Just keeps getting worse from here.

Economy depends on people spending money instead of keeping it. Savers fuel the investors. Covid was a disaster world wide as people stayed home. Government printed which caused inflation so only the rich benefited from that. Ideally we want to have more manufacturing instead of just trading services which North America seems to have excelled in. Things are a mess out there. Spa girls contribute. How much it moved the needle is questionable.

Keeps getting better in here .

I wear many hats in the business. I am an owner, a supplier of consumables to spa - both wholesale and directly to some spa owners who I consider are my friends. I am also a hobbyist.

Some perspectives.

1. Not all spa owners are making ridiculous amounts of cash money. Like all businessess, thetop 1 or 2% makes it but the majority are like most small business owners. Just buying themselves a job.

2. Promoting their business. This is not a main street business where you can promote it to friends and family. Heck, some do not even want to disclose they are in this business to start with. Even those who are promotors, they do this on the quiet. Other then KJ who has nothing to lose can openly say he is a promoter of Spas. The rest - no way.

3. Certain owners like Ella, Renee have a list of customers over the years that they have accumalated and so can do a lot of direct marketing.

So to say that both the girls and especially the owners are making so much money that they have to laundry it is a bit of a stretch. Those that were in the business 10 years ago and when houses were more affordable might own their own home. The recent ones - they are certainly not able too. They might have bought houses in China for their family but that is a whole different ballgame. Do the math.

As of now, many owners in the EBC corridor are feeling the stress especially those that had lots of money tied up in their spa re: renovations etc. The uncertainly and the potential loss of income is keeping them up at night.
The girls - not so much as they can and will land somewhere.

Massage Planet accounts for about 15% of a spa business but the noise it generates makes it seems that it accounts for a lot more. I, as an owner has the data to prove it.

Tesla vehicles are to begin with especially it's cyber truck. 8th recall and counting. If they can't figure it out all the problems, then don't sell them.

Btw @krayjee to say the spa girls and bosses are boosting Canada's economy, I beg differ. How many of them actually report full amount of their revenue to CRA. They are evading taxes for fuck sake. How many vehicles the and houses the spa girls will buy in.thri life time?

Being a business owner has big risks and rewards. If owning a business is that easy, then everybody would have started a business already.

Do I feel sorry for the spa bosses? Not really, they know about the big raid years ago and they chose to start their own businesses.

Do customers worry, not really. I mean prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. It has survived 2 world wars, Spanish flu, covid, sars, etc . They will just move underground. Governments cannot get rid of them. One closes another opens. Like I said before if you like a particular mpa, build a good relationship with her and you may get their contact

I am not sure what to make of this, but you clearly have guys like krayjee claiming that a lot of these girls are buying houses, condos and fancy cars. So, his claims aren’t true? How does krayjee get to behave the way he does in the first place? If you were getting paid $100/hr (based on tips alone) with a minimum of 4 clients per day and working 4 days a week at different spas, that’s $1600 a week and close to $6500 a month (all non-taxable income). I’m talking about the lower end of the scale - some of these girls actually make $140-$160 per hour. The girls wouldn’t be in this business if the money wasn’t good. Ocean Motion has some attendants who are Canadian-based (because of this reason). But the overwhelming majority of attendants are Asian - and they clearly have a monopoly. This encouraged the spa owners to set up over a dozen spas in EBC. The well is drying up if you’re seeking sympathy. There are people in this country who have paid thousands in education and credentials only to receive $30/hour if they are lucky - even as professionals.

UNLESS you are saying that the MPAs are paying back the spa owners a huge chunk of their earnings from extras - and that’s just not legal. Either way, the situation is out of balance. krayjee can change his tune as a chameleon, however I can assure you that the locals are getting tired of this crap (regardless of what I think).

The money is certainly very good compared to what they would make working in a restaurant or supermarket given their lack of English.

Your math is correct. The majority would make an average of $6,000/month - $72,000 per year. Mostly tax free - I say mostly because they still declare some income to file taxes. Some owners will issue a T4A. To move ahead in life and to achieve their goal of owning property, they have to show income. These days even a condo is $700,000 plus. Downpayment of at least $200,000 is required if not more if their income do not qualify for a mortgage. Some of them even need a guarantor to buy a car. So yes, they do declare some income if they want to own property.

Out of $72,000 one has to pay living expenses. Rent, children needs etc. If they do not have PR status and are here on a open work permit, their children university fees is $25,000 - $30,000 per year as a foreign student. Most are single Moms. Not much left after expenses. Even if they get PR status - after and arranged marriage that cost close to $40,000, their yearly expenses would be close to $50,000 if not more.

A lot of them do not choose the profession. The profession chose them. They chose to do this out of necessity. They chose to support themselves and not rely on handouts.

And NO, spa owners do not take a cut of their earnings.

Agree with most of what you said...most spa owners and spa girls are not making ridiculous amounts of money. Most can definitely not afford to buy a house these days.

However, it's not just the owners feeling stress, many girls are feeling it too.

And regarding your last point about MassagePlanet traffic, that depends on different factors, including the location, how visible the spa is and how long they have been operating. I can tell you for sure that for many spas it's much more than 15%. Some spas opened up in the middle of nowhere with no advertising other than MP and the majority of their customers came from MP.

To those arguing about their contributions to our economy and not paying taxes etc., keep in mind most spa girls are not good at saving money so most of what they make are definitely going back into the economy...either luxury clothes, purses, cars, casinos, eating out and of course necessities as well.

Sorry, I don’t buy the non-taxable income argument. Now, I think they’ll claim less income than what they actually bring in but still pay something in taxes and not nothing at all. Claim $60K if they really bring in $80K for example. But how is this really that different than waiters, waitresses and bartenders and their tips?

The first reason I think this is that one of the requirements for a Permanent Resident is to pay income taxes. This would cause a problem with the government that I don’t think they want. Second reason is how are they paying rent/mortgage, food, clothing and transportation without a reported source of funds? Not claiming income is a red flag and can draw attention. Even applying for a mortgage requires bank approval and your sources of income need to be laid out. There are other reasons like accessing the ability to invest via TFSA or RRSP, access to CPP and OAS payments in the future, and applying to the Trillium Drug Program for prescription drug assistance for them or their families, if needed. All of that combined makes filing income tax returns the smart move.

I’m sorry, fellas… but this is just not convincing anyone that we should feel sorry for the hotshots in the erotic spa industry. All you have to do is compare this with how legit RMT professionals, kinesiologists and/or chiropractors are making a living (without offering any sexual services) - and all of your arguments above will fall apart.

We should feel sorry for these girls because they don’t have money to buy a house?! And we’re making excuses for them because they spend it on expensive items? Then why not raise the minimum wage to $40/hour for everybody? This is reckless, and I think the municipalities perhaps have a very good reason to impose restrictions as far as non-taxable income is concerned.

(Thanks for at least giving me credit for doing the math - krayjee wouldn’t be that honest.)
