I was choosy - for a year - and didn't have sex for almost a year! That's just too long for me.

So I made a decision to date, even if some of the guys were too young or otherwise not right for long-term. And I don't regret that decision - I have a dated a couple of lovely guys who are still good friends, and finally gotten some decent sex out of the deal.

The last guy wasn't inappropriate because of his financial status - as I explained before, he may have been struggling but he had a new business and has no debt, he was in a good position to make a decent income in the future. Since I am able to provide for myself, I care more about a guy's attitudes towards money and debt than I do about what he has right now.

AS for why bother to go out with this next young guy? Why not? It's not like I have a flock of appropriate attractive available guys lining up to date me. I've BEEN looking, believe me! I will keep looking, but in the meantime, I might as well enjoy a few dates with someone interesting. Better than sitting home alone in my book.
