I think you over-estimate the usefulness and power of money Neil. I did the whole budget/backpacker thing a few years ago and was in a similar situation as you... cheap hostel rooms, counting money to buy beers, not able to go to expensive clubs. I got laid pretty regularly too.
Now I'm doing pretty well financially and traveling much better, and strangely enough, it hasn't really affect my results much at all. I can't say I get laid any more for reasons directly relating to money. A few reasons indirect reasons sure help (nicer clothes, money for cabs, apartments in city center, etc.). But the only difference I notice now is that girls I bang are more apt to want to be my girlfriend than before. They usually want to stick around. Which is either good/bad depending on the girl.
Money's not an aphrodisiac. But it sure as shit can make a girl cling to you.
