Inflation!

Inflation is a bitch !! . When I started mongering the average at a fast house was between 10-12$ for 15 min this was back in 1991. Then by the mid 90s it went up to 15-18$ for the 15min. Then late 98- 2000 it was 20$ . Then 30 by the middle of 2000 then going into like 2012 it hit 40 some places I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be an average of 60 or more for the 15 soon 40$ gonna be history. Around 2003 I hit up this place on west 70st it was a house with pretty young mostly white girls i did the hour for 200$ so today that’s about an equal of 400$ maybe.
$.95 for a pack of Marlboro reds from a vending machine in the entryway of a Foodtown in an undisclosed town in south-central Nassau. Get a nickel back and a pack of matches. Used to be able to smoke in bars while watching a game and having a few bottles of suds...21club near the old Shea stadium, 20 bucks to fuck a dime piece Latina and a buck for a condom. Free 8oz bud quickies while you waited for the right girl...ahhhh, the good old days...
Ha to you — I can beat that: I used to get a free minipack of cigs (brand was always a surprise) in my free C-ration package.
Good news was my job supplied me with 3 free meals a day. Bad news was that starting pay was $60/month with no holidays, no extra pay for overtime and safety/injury rate was just terrible.

To quote a guy named Jhonen Vasquez "Nothing quite brings out the zest for life in a person like the thought of their impending death"
Some people react with depression and substance abuse, others become mongers.
Anyway during the early 60's I remember buy gas for 29.9¢ but minimum wage was $1.00/hr (if as a teenager you could even get a job).
However, to put things into perspective you could buy 3.3 gals for 1 hour's wage; today with NYS minimum at $11.10 you can buy 4.4 gals at Farmingdale Exxon for 1 hour's wage. Plus an economical gas mileage car would get mid 20's mpg at best and today high 30's mpg.
Maybe the good old days weren't even as good as the good old days.

back in 2006, spanish people have the delivery guy who brings the girls to your home and they don't do any longer then 15mins, $20 for bj and fs. it was hit or miss though, sometimes you would get a really hot or innocent looking girl in her 20's and sometimes you'd get beat up lady in her late 30's or early 40's. didnt matter much though b/c these dominican ladies in her late 30's are freaks!
Strictly anecdotal, but I've witnessed a few recessionary cycles in my time and noticed an interesting hobby phenomenon. Just before the economy goes bust the asking price of providers, especially those on the lower end of the spectrum of sophistication, skyrockets. Almost like squarrels gathering nuts before winter.
Recently I noticed the asking price of a few urban providers approached the lower end of donations requested by high end escorts. Last time I witnessed such a phenomenon was just prior to the 08-09 financial crises. Then after the crash prices steeply dip until they level off slightly higher than pre-crash rates. Or service offerings get fragmented into short stay, half hour and full hour options.
Remember a time when as a rule at an incall the only option was an hour? Fast houses were named accordingly because that is the only thing they offered- a quick nut. If you finished early at a regular incall location, or with outcall, that was your problem, not the providers. Those were the days.
Obviously this observation will not fetch me a Nobel Prize in economics, but I thought it interesting as others speak of inflation.
