Would you go to the golf course and tell them that you can't afford the greens fees, and offer to only pay for 5 holes?  While there have been many discussions about whether the ladies work ONLY for the money, the money definitely does enter into why they are here.  If you can't afford to play, you'll need to sit on the sidelines until you can ante up.

I'm sure that some guys spend money that they shouldn't, but I never do.  My problem is time, not money.  If I had more time, the money would get to be a problem.

As tempting as it is to dip into savings, I only hobby as much as I can while staying within my budget.   I have really enjoyed getting into  hobbying, and would love to hobby with greater frequency. I could probably hobby twice as much as I do now for about a year, but then I'd be broke. So, I stick to once a month.

Clients who can't afford to hobby...

RE the question --- ladies do you ever feel some of your clients can't actually afford your service and have you ever offered them a discount?---

Yes I do (feel some can't afford to play) and no I don't (give a discount).  Nobody gets a discount.  Well almost nobody...  

If I feel someone is out of their league finance wise I wouldn't feel right taking their money.

I remember one time on a trip to Montery. Some guy in Salinas (about a 40 minute drive away) didn't have a car and lived with his parents.  He wanted me to drive out, pick him up, play and return him for like $1,000.  I was like dude, "I think you need to save your money and buy a car."

I hope he did and has since been able to play with  some other lucky girl.

I truly hope you are just bored and couldn't think of anything else to ask.

If you can't afford to pay without hurting yourself financially, you can't play.

I, as I'm sure most here, have a budget setup to "play" with.
If I want to see someone who may have a higher fee, I save up longer.
Under no circumstances do I take funds that are meant for other things, like food, clothes, mortgage, phone, electricity, etc.

Remember, this is a hobby, not life and death.

It's not worth hurting yourself financially.

Oh, BTW, barter or negotiate for services? NO class.

Just my opinion...

I also once took a cash advance on my credit card back when I was in college, hoping I would be able to convince my parents to pay the bill just this once (it worked, but I had to think of a creative explanation for the money).  

No matter how old I get, I always seem to want to hobby above my head.  There's never been a time when I see a provider with money that I "don't need."  I always need my money.  There's no such thing as "disposable" money.  For me, this is a very expensive luxury, but since it's really my ONLY luxury, I find ways to rationalize the expenditure.  But I always make sure that my bills get top preference every month.

OJ Simpson, and then tried to sell it back to him in LV.

Didn't work out too well.
