    I don't have an actual trust fund. To answer the question, I think it would be very improbable to find a truly RICH person dancing. And by rich I mean Paris Hilton or some such.
    I can answer the question from a middle to upper middle class perspective.

    When I first started dancing, my dad was sitting on about 100K in savings. He was comfortably retired and a home owner (no mortgage) My mom is/was a small business owner who worked part time, making enough to fund the household expenses, allowing my dad to essentially use his retirement income for leisure only.
    I wanted to go back to school. The program I wanted to take was a few thousand dollars and part time.
    Except now that I was over the age of twenty (Imagine the horror of someone living at home at 21, going to school and living rent free) my dad would NOT have it. I had a job, I was making enough to pay my car insurance and pay for the luxury items I tend to buy.
    He started to demand rent. I couldn't afford both, (pay him market rent and keep my car on the road/have the things I wanted)
    So I started stripping to maintain the lifestyle I wanted while going to school.

    I eventually moved out, graduated college, and am still dancing at the moment.
    I'm still bitter that I had to do this when it wasn't at all necessary and would have involved minimal (if any ) sacrifice on my fathers part.

    The moral of the story is, just because parents HAVE money, doesn't mean they will give it to their children.

    I wonder why guys have the perspective that dancing is something that we women do because we "have to?"

    I have plenty of other skills, and also have the opportunity to work a non-adult industry related job that offers just as much scheduling flexibility as dancing, and quite a good rate of pay. My parents also pay the majority of my bills. I have my own place, but am only responsible for the cost of utilities and whatever I need/want for groceries, etc. No health insurance, car insurance, cell phone bill - they take care of all of those for me.

    My main reason for dancing is that I have a hell of a long road of school ahead of me (I'm working towards my MD), and I'm hoping to not have to take out student loans, or a minimal amount of student loans, at least. It seems like the best chance I have of accomplishing my goal. Sure, my parents may help me with that too, but I REALLY don't want to be still depending on them for money when I'm in my 30's! That seems selfish.

    That said, I wouldn't be dancing if I didn't enjoy it.

    ^ just a thought but you mention working towards your MD without the help of your parents.
    I know you say that you don't "have to" do this, but if your parents don't help you with this..what other choices do you have that offer as flexible a schedule, with as much earning potential besides dancing? I'm genuinely curious what job pays hundreds in cash, on the same day, on a drop-in basis?

    Obviously I know nothing about your background, so I'll assume you are telling the truth, but most jobs available to students don't offer such perks..so in a sense most of us do (sort of) "have to" if you want to get through school debt free

    I didn't say that I had an option to do another job that offers just as much earning potential as dancing. Obviously, that's pretty much impossible. What I was referring to is promotional modeling, which I used to do before dancing. As a promotional model, you are an independent contractor as well, and can basically pick and choose whenever you want to work. Those jobs often pay $20 - $30+ an hour, which, while certainly not is good as dancing, is definitely more than most students (or people in general) can say that they make. They're also fun, and quite often you can go home with boatloads of free stuff (depending on the product you are promoting) in addition to the hourly pay.

    if i had another option that paid as much as stripping than no, i wouldn't have even started considering i was scared shitless to get on that stage as a newbie , and considering that altho my parents are far from rich they are very conservative and i risked getting dis-owned..but i had to so i did. now that i've been doing it for 2 years i love it and i'd do it no matter how rich i was , it fills an inner need i cant quite explain..

    I had a trust fund. A small one.

    I was given no financial education or understanding of 'real life'

    College, paid for...i could have traveled but (stupidly) didn't

    It gave me security. Started my first few businesses, and i volunteered for 7 years knowing i had the option

    It also kept me from alot of businesses (adult) i could have kicked ass at but didnt because of respect for mom and what she was doing for me.

    I grew up in a fairly affluent area but I don't know anybody that had a trust fund. I knew lots of spoiled kids whose parents paid for all of their college, cars, generous allowance, but none of them had a trust fund. and the funds also stopped once the kids graduated (aside from generous presents and plane trips back home). I think trust funds really only exist in the 1%, or maybe the .1%, and I've never worked with anyone who came from that amount of money. and the wealthy kids I know that weren't able to get off of their feet immediately after college ended up moving back in with their parents. again, generous parents for allowing the kids to move back in and giving them some spending money, but it's a far cry from independence. had those kids been girls willing to get naked for $$, I'm sure they would have been tempted to start dancing in order to have some REAL spending cash and their own comfortable apartment.

    ^ agree. I grew up in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Canada, and I don't know anyone who had a real trust fund..I think this is a stereotype mostly perpetuated by Hollywood.

    I also think that people hear "trust fund" and they think "wealthy" - trust funds come in all sizes and shapes. As Warren Buffet says - his kids will get enough to do ANYTHING but not enough to do NOTHING.

    Very few people have trust funds they can live on. Just add a little coolness...

    I am from a rich family. Rich by means of hard work-my parents run a successful business, turnover of more than 2million per year, my Mum retired in her forties-then went back to work because she's a workaholic-so she runs the business AND works still for her ex-boss from her previous job, selling his houses. So she works between 2 and four days a week and gets a good wage-equivelent to more than most people in similar jobs make in a five day week, because the boss knows she's good and looks after her. My Dad helps with tenancies and also does all the work on the houses as he's a joiner and general handyman.
    But they both retired from the 'rat race' early.
    I will inherit at least half the business, I have a half-sister but her Dad is VERY rich, stupidly rich, as in could afford to buy all the houses in his village without thinking about it, rich. I am not sure how they will work it but as my Mum and Dad's only child, I will inherit BIG.
    I moved out young because my Dad and I didn't see eye-to eye (another thread altogether) and since then I've been homeless for time, then my Mum took pity and moved me into one of the empty properties that they owned.

    Since then I've lived for very little money because I've lived in their houses and just paid either nothing or what I can afford-OR more recently, approx less than half what the mortgages and bills on the modest houses I lived in, cost them to upkeep. They look after me.
    At the moment I feel great because living with my Man, I don't 'sponge' any longer-I'm independent. It was a decision I made late-being spoonfed came naturally to me and they never mentioned it unless I had done something badly wrong (caused problems in their house or whatever) or argued with them about other things.
    Now I live with my partner. There was never any question about me paying to live with him-see other thread lol his house is SO bad, that I wouldn't dream of it , would rather rent a room in a nice house, off somebody else. But anyway another thread again.
    I strip because, sure I could have lived with them until I was of age, moved out, got a job in a 'respectable' field, worked with them in their business and been a good girl.
    But stripping is part of me, adult entertainment is where I want to be for the forseeable future.
    I think soon, I will move back closer to them because my man and I need to part soon. And then I think at aged 30+, I will feel ready to calm down, my body won't be up to stripping any longer at some point, and I will probably cam alongside helping them with their business-I may even 'repay' by working for them for free and cam only to make my own money-I do not know. But anyway, my story-why even though I had it all on a plate, in theory!It doens't always work like that.

    Personally, I'm a lazy bisnich and adult entertainment allows me to sleep in most days, have as much free time as anybody, yet still the equivalent of most people's GOOD fulltime wage. That's why I do it rather than being a good girl, at the moment.

    I had a college gift trust, and as soon as I turned 18 every penny of it went to my school, and still was not enough.
    I'm in school currently and I have a deal with my dad concerning financial support, but dancing allows me to have a chance to SAVE money (ever heard of that? me either.) while still living the lifestyle I prefer. I go to school full time and my dad helps me based on the units I carry, plus I dance anywhere from eight to forty hours a week but because of my flexible schedule it is very manageable.

    I have personally witnessed a good friend turning down grocery money from her mom when she was so broke she didn't know where her next meal would come from. The reasoning: the strings that came with the money were not worth it. So, is it possible for a "trust fund baby" to refuse to live by the stipulations that come along with the money or even to flat out refuse money in favour of independence? Absolutely!

    I have a lot of money, but I'm not a trust fund baby. I inherited a lot of money (about 90k) after my mother died. The money has been invested in an high-interest term deposit account. There aren't any strings-attached, the money is 100% mine and under my control. I can afford to not work for 3-5 years of university as long as I budgeted correctly, but I want to. I haven't officially started doing any sex work yet, but I'm seriously considering it. The reason why I want to work is because I get bored easily, I need some adventure and excitement in my life and extra money never hurt anyone. 90k is not enough to retire early on, which is my ultimate goal (early retirement).

    That's it, I'm coming back as a hot girl in my next life :p I'm a dude, but I do have a trust fund, not from rich family though and its a pain in the ass to access money from it, my Uncle controls it, so I landscape for cash amoung other things. I can imagine some simular reasoning for Strippers.
