To ALL the hard working Girls here!
I've been seeing a lot lately that many of you are putting up your tickers on saving money, $10,000 and more being set aside, and I want to say:
GREAT JOB!
You know, anyone else in any other job would put away maybe $5,000? And that would be big savings. You all are very blessed to be working in such lucrative jobs, and it's inspiring and good to know that you all are reaching your goals. And working towards them. There is nothing better than to reach a goal you're aiming towards. You all are very inspiring to me, and I hope that one day soon, I can put up my own savings ticker, not just my crappy debt ticker, and save up my $10,000 or more.
To all the Moderators, thank you for this site and keeping it well kept. This has really made me feel better about myself and has helped me get back into exercising and eating well to become again a stripper to make the money I need.
I hope I don't sound too cheesy, but, I like giving encouragement, and I'm proud of all of you, even though I'm new, I'm still proud of you all!
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Mine is actually an earnings ticker, not a savings one. I'm trying to pay off two debts this month. But yesterday I got fired so I'm gunning for dungeon sessions right now and I guess I'll go back to Montana next week, even though I really had shit to do in L.A. this month... *sigh*
Anyway, thank YOU for the boost!
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Awww! :dance:
I was noticing the same thing, but I took mine down! My car is paid off, so it's all good! :dance:
I should put my next goal up though, but I don't want it to be too obvious who I am if I do.
:dance:
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Oh shit sorry!! That blows! Yeah, but what with you make, you'll pay it off quickly. I'm not making any money, and the government is going to garnish my wages if I don't pay off $1636.25 by tomorrow. So, my dad bailed me out. Now I owe him on TOP of my $7400.00 I owe, plus my bf's mom, and the car, and other shit. I'm fucked.
Now, how did you get fired? And anyway, I'm sure you'll do fine. You're in LA? There has to be opportunity there! I just handed out a billion resumes, only to find out that I forgot to put my phone number on it! Yeah, a month went by and I could have had a job to help pay my bills, FUCK!!

Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
I just think it's awesome, you girls have this ability to let everyone know you are amazing, and you do well in your jobs. I really don't know how to say it but this place has been so inspiring to me to really make some serious money, once I lose the weight. I'm right there, and I want to be in with you all. Being teary eyed and all, thank you for just being here and accepting us "Newbies" and helping us perform better and deal with shitty issues.
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Hey, my oh-shit deadline is with the IRS too! I owe them $1200 by August 15 or they will rain fire and brimstone upon my head. So far I've saved up $500 of that. Aigh. They could not have picked a worse date, seriously, as almost all my other bills are due that same week. So I have about a week and a half now to raise another $1500 with no job. Fucking hell. I was really hoping my family would come through with birthday money this year, but now that I live with K I guess they figure I'm his responsibility now. Meanwhile I owe him over $2000 and I need that off my head ASAP too. Fucking debt, it BLOWS.
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Thanks! I think I'm gonna update my ticker, and do it one debt at a time...EEEK!!! Seeing how much I owe in all everyday is frightening. Time to change it and chip away at each debt individually. I'm trying to get rid of this debt so that when I go to Puerto Rico in January, I'll be able to concentrate on a $avings ticker. ;D
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
debt sucked when interest rates were low, and is going to suck worse now that interest rates are rising. Owing money to the taxman (of whatever country) sucks worst of all. Congrats to all of you girls who are busting ass to dig your way out from under the debtpile. Somehow I suspect that once you can see 'daylight', you'll never allow yourselves to be buried in debt again !!!
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Well Im going to use this thread to gloat then and say I have just made it over $10,000 in savings!!!!
I have never been able to save money in my life until I started dancing.
It is very satisfying and I feel proud of myself for being disciplined enough to put money away with all the temptations there are out there.
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Yay! I feel ya on the paying off debt, I'm closer than I have been for a long time, and I've got a decent chunk in savings too. I love seeing all the savings tickers too :)

I agree! I don't agree with saving much money when you're in debt...then you're not really saving anything at all! Once I get rid of it all...I'm free to just save, save, save!!!
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
^^Well, my personal experience has been, if you have no savings, then you're screwed when an emergency comes up, and get into more debt :-/
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
^I have an emergency cash fund...but I'm not 100% dedicated to saving until I get rid of the debt.
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
^^ Ah ok :) Makes sense :)

I did that! I loooove being debt free! It's amazing and fabulous and now I don't go into debt for ANYTHING. I pay everything in cash on the spot. Love it! :)
Re: To ALL the hard working Girls here!
Well, here's the story, my BF has been against dancing for a long time, well, forever. All the experiences he's had were with dirty dancers, and he was, UNTIL LAST NIGHT 100% against me dancing. Than I explained things to him, how you girls pay off your debts, like, you actually CAN pay them off, even a little bit at a time, not like me, who has to get a new loan to pay off an old debt, then I'm fucked with the new one! But he said last night, to go ahead and do it, he'll just have to get over it. Well, he's afraid of grabby custies and the stage dances, but I told him, it's like when I worked at the massage parlour, I just told them no, then they paid more just to see my boobs. The money was great, instead of $60 for a BJ from the other girls, I was getting $60 for 1/2 hr massage topless, plus my $10 from the house. I know if you're clean, and guys know it, they'll pay for whatever you'll give them. And you'll still have your pride and dignity with you. And I think he got that last night. So, 30lbs to go, and I hope I'll be on stage! And then I can have my own ticker for savings up there!

Yeah, it does BLOW I hate the government. The jerks, you know if they would just bugger off we'd be better at our lives and there would be less societal problems. But, I've also been told that OSAP, the Ontario student loans program, is under investigation cuz they suck so bad, and they're nothing but theives! Nice, maybe I won't have to pay it back after all!! ::)
