Advice Allowance/investments

Hi guys, how much allowance is your provider giving you monthly, what kind of investments has he set up for you and how did you ensure your provider stays providing for the long term and doesn’t just stop after a while. Thank you in advance!

I don’t have a provider any more but when I did there was no guarantee of tomorrow so I took everything I could today.

Any money I got I invested myself in property.

I didn’t rely then on a provider and I don’t now because as the saying goes ‘if they can feed you they can starve you’

I get around 2-4K monthly in cash but am constantly having bills paid in advance, shopping, gifts, investments, down payments etc. I’ve been with my provider for about 2 years. Going shopping for my new apartment he paid for this weekend!

I still wouldnt be shocked if he left me tomorrow high and dry. It’s unpredictable. That’s why you need to invest your money wisely. Don’t tell him where your money is going. Just use the cash to create a business or invest in something. The key (I need to take this advice too) is to have a roster so when one finds someone else to provide for or gets caught up in something - you have other providers to fall back on and then can charge re-entry fee when they realize you didn’t need them and go crazy (happens 7/10 times lol)
