I have had a similar experience; when I was working and earning good money, I could afford a bit more expensive services, plus I was able to do more and even have two pops within an hour. Now that I'm a bit older (and not necessarily wiser!) and am careful about my dollars, I find myself looking for a bit less expensive fare. Enjoy more mature MILFs who are often more reasonable than the young hotties, and also enjoy FBSM rather than full service. I find I can enjoy a nice massage with lots of teasing thrown in and still enjoy reaching an orgasm by hand.
Like a lot of guys on here, I'm retired now, so my six-figure income has been cut by about 80%. Fortunately, my itch has decreased as well, so my hobbying is cut way back from the glory days. Lately, I've been shopping for a worthwhile experience, while staying within my budget. There are lots of local and visiting gals who fit my requirements, and I just need to pull the trigger (not my finger, which is another gift of aging BTW). But then, my power miter saw stopped working. So I'm shopping on the HD website, and trying to find the best saw for the least money and I get to thinking...wait ...I'm pinching pennies on a tool that will make or break a woodworking project, and will hopefully last as long as my old Sears model (25 years). VS one hour and a couple of pops that will satisfy me for a week or month. For the price of one visit, I can buy a hell of a decent saw with all the new safety features my old one didn't have.
With age comes, perhaps, thinking with the big head instead of the little one. Anyone else have this experience?
I can see whee you are coming from. My phone is starting to show signs of aging, won't turn off consistently, screen flickers. New iPhone SE is $299 with trade-in. I'm noticing a lot of things are in that price range. Then I remind myself that I like experiences and memories just as much, and maybe more.

when I'm shopping for things or making a selection from a menu. After all, not wasting money is one of the life skills that got me to where I am now, able to afford a decent "entertainment" budget! But I do often chuckle inwardly when I realize I'm trying to save a few bucks and how that compares to spending a few hundred on one date. Gotta have those priorities straight!
traveling for work, my opportunities are less. Ladies that cost $300 ten or twelve years ago now cost $400. Sometimes you can still find a good quality experience for $300.
Yes, the massage experiences are fine experiences but sometimes I need the GFE experience with lots of kissing, foreplay, etc.
...Sorry to hear it stopped working but there are several Viagra threads above that may help.
Just kidding!! Yes, the same thing has happened to me several times when making purchases such as a TV, sofa, fridge, etc. It crosses my mind about how long those products will last vs. an hour or two with a provider. But that doesn't stop me from hobbying.
