Mum, 31, makes up to £8,000 a month and enjoys free five-star holidays by dating sugar daddies twice her age
A MUM-of-two has revealed how she enjoys free five star holidays and cash gifts of up to £8,000 each month courtesy of the men twice her age that she dates.
Talitha, 31, claims she earns on average £60,000 a year from the millionaire men she has dated after joining “generous” dating website three years ago.
The woman's empowerment and lifestyle coach has been single for three and a half years after splitting from the father of her children, Neveal, 10, and King, five.
Talitha, from Pennsylvania, USA, said: "I date men aged between 35 and 72, several of which were millionaires, and others ranged from investment bankers to brokers to CEOs to small business owners.
“Dating men as old as 72 has been interesting but can sometimes be cringe. I've learned along the way that the whole fake it till you make won't work in dating. You either like him or you don't.”
As well as the money she receives, Talitha has been gifted a family holiday to Florida for her children and mother as a Christmas present.
She has also had the luxury of jetting off to a five-star resort in Jamaica for a week with a friend, which was worth over £20,000.
She said: "I have been very blessed to meet beautiful people who have always taken care of me and any areas of concern in my life.
“In fact, I feel if you have a need and that's been disclosed but it hasn't been addressed or fixed, then you're keeping the wrong company.”
It's not about my time equalling money, it's about discovering his needs whether it be emotional mental or otherwise.

Although others refer to the men she dates as 'sugar daddies' and herself as a sugar baby, Talitha tries to stay clear of these phrases and instead says she 'dates differently' with 'elite gentleman' to avoid it being seen as a taboo.
After arranging dates with men online via phone call or Skype, Talitha usually develops a close relationship with them and continues to receive luxury gifts.
What is a sugar daddy and how does the relationship work?
A sugar daddy is a generous older man who spends lavishly on his mistress, girlfriend or boyfriend.
He's often a businessman, who considers himself too busy for conventional dating - and isn't short of a few bob.
A sugar baby, meanwhile, is normally an attractive younger woman who can't afford her luxury lifestyle.
The couple will usually establish a financial agreement early on - as well as their boundaries, such as whether or not they're considering a sexual relationship.
Some sugar babies ask for a monthly allowance, while other get 'expenses' in the form of glam holidays and shopping sprees.
While a growing number of sugar babies are university students, who turn to their 'daddy' to pay their fees.
According to Seeking Arrangement, the average sugar daddy is 45 years old - and earns a salary of £176,000.
While the average sugar baby rakes in £2,300-a-month, making a comfortable annual 'salary' of £27,600
The mum of two doesn't think any woman should be ashamed of who or how they date, as she even offers advice and a 'blueprint' on how to make the most of it.
She said: "I teach women that good men are very easy to find if you place yourself in the position to receive.
"It's a whole mental shift when it comes to dating the kind of man you deserve so I created a blueprint.
"First, I show women how to build a proper profile and what key ingredients you need for the perfect one!
“Once their profile is amazing and getting the high volume and quality of elite they're looking for, we move onto spotting scammers so no one gets their time wasted.
“We also roleplay how to speak to the men to make sure they get the desired date.”
One misconception that Talitha has to face is the idea that she and other woman are obliged to give something back to the men who date them.
She said: "It's not about my time equalling money, it's about discovering his needs whether it be emotional mental or otherwise and making sure you're willing and able to meet whatever they may be.
“If I find someone who is right for me, I will step in as a mentor to motivate and aid him in achieving his goals and ensuring he has the tools he needs to be successful.”
Talitha also believes any woman can take part in this lifestyle, so long as they follow some rules.
She explained: ";Do your homework and find a group of women who think like you and find out what they did to create a solid profile to attract the kind of guy you want.
"Make sure your goals are clearly written down and you look at them daily, don't get discouraged by the stories you see and allow them to motivate you into finding your man.
“It's not a luxury, it's a lifestyle.”
