I've usually "paid" dates (non-providers) with dinner, weed, or other gifts.

One time I met someone who said he tips his regulars in gold and silver.

I once paid a guy with some Euros I had left after an Eurotrip, and the difference in Canadian.

I’m not sure if this qualifies as non-cash but I once set up a Roth IRA for a provider.

It’s been over 20 years but I did the same for two providers back then. Setup bank accounts, IRA, local biz license for their incall city, encouraged them to report majority of income to IRS, etc. Two success stories followed over the years ??

I had a visiting international client buy me an iPhone from the duty-free store once in lieu of my appointment fee because I was living in India at the time and the iPhones were way cheaper at the duty free store in the airport than in the local shops... however after giving him specific instructions on which iPhone to buy me, he bought entirely the wrong one, so I ended up re-selling it (at a profit). LOL

The right advice can make a difference in a providers life. Unfortunately most of them simply don't save money...

Since some are talking about bitcoins:

 

What are the non-traditional payment methods that you've used with providers?

 

I only pay cash! I use my CC, PayPal, and Venmo for others things but not for this hobby.

 

I have given Walmart gift cards as tips... at least you know they'll be used for food but a local guy I know just put it on Ebay. He's smart! Cash is king!

When escort agencies were still very popular, I usually paid with credit cards.

Frankly, when I was escorting in my twenties, I wasn't even convinced I would still be alive in a decade, much less in retirement age. We have sex work criminalization and a host of popular media that loves to portray dead sex workers, along with police that label murders of sex workers as "no human involved" to thank for that, I think. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's a common sentiment amongst sex workers in their 20's. At least a few of my friends have agreed with me that they didn't save either because they felt this way.

 

Not to put a damper on the vibe or anything. Now that I'm in my early 30's and have been doing this work sucessfully and safely for over a decade, I don't feel the same way anymore. I save for my future and have a Roth IRA myself now. But it wasn't the right advice that I was lacking in my 20's. It was security and the belief that I would continue to live for a typical lifespan after being inundated with a lot of media and legal conditions that suggested otherwise.

How many young guys save a lot of money for a "rainy day" I certainly didn't in my 20s.

 

The money I saved during my teenager years went for college related expenses. As did money from Summer jobs during college.

 

Enough about not saving money also when one serves in the military

When you're young, you don't need to save a lot of money for it to add up. When I was in my mid-20s, I put $2000 a year (the max allowed at the time) while I was in residency (3 years) into an IRA account. That account is separate from my other IRA accounts because those contributions were deductible (and my subsequent IRA contributions were not deductible). Just that $6000 is worth well over 10 times that amount now, and I don't plan on touching it for at least another decade, when it will be likely worth a good deal more. When you're in the military, I assume you're contributing to your military pension, as I contributed to my government pension during the decades I was working. Military work usually lets one retire rather early with a nice pension. I have two friends who retired as Captains in the US Navy in their early 50s, then started putting into social security. I'm guessing they also had IRA's. I don't know if the military can contribute to 457 plans like other government workers such as myself.

These days young People have student loans to pay off. And the cost of college/ medical school/graduate school is very expensive even if one gets a stipend from the University.

 

As to military pension, who knows.. Service of ten years without a war is possible, services of twenty years without a war -- good freaking luck, pal.

 

Like many people in 1967, I was drafted into the Army.. Military salaries then were pathetic. I barely survived. During basic, advance infantry training, field wireman training and officer's candidate training. I remember taking buses from Boston to New York and New York to Fort Dix, New Jersey

after Christmas late at night with only a five dollar bill left.

I must confess, I went UCLA all the way from undergrad to med school, and the most I ever paid per year during med school was $1500 per year. I tell young people that, and they have a difficult time believing it... :eek:
