When your money tanks so badly that you can't even pay basic living expenses...how do you know what the problem is?
I know the economy sucks, and is probably not going to start picking up till mid-2009. Maybe that's the problem.
Or maybe it's me? I feel burnt out. I've gained weight in the past year, and it pretty much shot my confidence and hustle down to nothing. I have such a hard time even approaching people because I feel so self-conscious and embarrassed about how I look. And hustling and asking for money has become near-impossible because I don't believe I'm selling a good "product" at the moment. In the back of my mind I'm always thinking "why would he buy a dance from a fat chick?"
Or is it my club? If it's my club I'm shit out of luck, because this is the only decent club in my city that I know of...and the nearest big city is two hours away and doesn't have much to offer either. But my club is just never busy! I'm sick to death of showing up to twice as many girls as customers every freaking night. And this is something I can't put my finger on or accurately describe, but my club has changed over the past year and now has a lot of negative energy, for lack of a better term. Could that be affecting my money too?
I've been thinking of taking a trip to New Orleans to work, but there's no guarantee that it will be busier down there...I'd hate to make that fairly-expensive trip and come home even more broke than I am now!What if it's not just my club that's slow as hell? What if it's pretty much everywhere that's slow right now? Which brings me back to "is it the economy?"
I used to make great money. I never imagined as a stripper that I'd get to the point where I couldn't pay my bills or put gas in my car. This is not meant as a pointless 'downer' post; I'm just really confused as to WHY my money went down the toilet.
And I'm not sure what to DO about it. Take a risk and go to NOLA? Take a break and stock shelves at Target for a semester? (because even though that sounds like hell, I'd be making more doing that than I am getting naked now.) Try another club? Try another club after taking a break?
So...if anyone else has ever been in this situation...how do you know what the problem is? Any advice?![]()
