Why are you here then if you are advocating against punting? Sounds rather hypocritical to me for a fellow punter to equate punting as a lack of self respect and dignity.
More power to you to have a wank,but I certainly do not lose self respect or dignity for spending on WGs

Neither do I visit 'dodgy girls in filthy houses'. The girl might be dodgy sometimes, but the houses aren't filthy.
Holidays? Rip off. Take the family on holiday in school time when they're affordable and you're fined. Take them in holiday-time and they're an over-priced rip-off. Rather like the picture some people paint of AW. Promise the earth in the photos, but just as likely to be a building-site when you get there. Two weeks in somewhere foreign where you can still buy a Big Mac and a Coca-Cola? How different is that?
I'm 62, what else am I going to spend my money on? Maybe I should save it, invest it, so I can pay it to some Old People's Home to sit me in a chair, give me a cup to dribble into and a TV to watch all day, then just as likely put me to bed with a kick up the arse or a smack round the head. All so I can live a few years longer and pay them that much more. Yeah. Dignified. Self-respecting.
I just had a wank. The postman delivered some letters and the noise of the letter-box brought me out in a cold sweat even though I live alone. I'm sure we've all been caught in mid-wank by a knock on the door or the phone or something else, we all know what I mean. Did I feel more in control? No. Did I feel more dignified? No, but no less than before either. Did I feel more self-respect? No, my self-respect does not come from my gonads, it comes from being who I am and how I conduct myself. Did I save money? No, because I wasn't punting today anyway, and I'll still be going to see a sexy, willing, enthusiastic, friendly, self-respecting hooker next week anyway.
Dignity? Well, what's dignified about wanking or sex, when you look at it objectively. Loss of control, sweating, lunging, plunging, aching muscles, panting for breath, not one square inch of one's body left undisplayed, but if it's your wife's haemorrhoids or a husband's hairy sphincter, that's ok, that's dignified?
I could go on.
