    Default What's enough money for u to be happy

    We all have goals that we set to achieve when it comes to bringing in the money.
    What amounts of money are you happy to make every week that sustains your lifestyle?

    Now look, I know Melonie probably banks $50k a month, lolol so she's not included in this one.

    In order to sustain my lifestyle? Like $500/week. For me to be happy? Way more! I place a lot of importance on arbitrary numbers. I haven't been able to work much this year so my goals have shifted to hourly averages, though.

    I only dance once per week, a 4 hour shift. $400 and up and I'm happy. ($300 is still good, $200....meh, but thankfully that's only happened once and it was a 2.5 hour shift.)

    $400 per week to sustain my lifestyle. To help save for my nose job and maintain my shopping addiction, more like $800-$1,000+ per week.

    To pay my bills, it would be $800 to $1000 a week.

    To be Happy, it would be $1500 or more a week, which is a very manageable goal to reach.

    I typically only work one day a week... I come in for regulars only, so $2,000 for a normal shift is the minimum for me to be satisfied since that's 6 hours w/ almost no tips.

    ^Thank you. I found the only way to tolerate dancing in this city (which is otherwise a hell hole!) is to find good regs... and tell them it's not your normal day... you're normally only here on XXday of weekXX and they should come see you again then! (just try to set a time so you can space them apart)
    Sometimes one wants to dance longer and another gets mad that I didn't have time right away. Sometimes they'll go get dances with other girls while waiting, ect. Sometimes you get stood up and you're stuck actually having to WORK and deal with normal customers for a few hours...
    But for the most part I've got a fairly loyal group right now and it makes life SO much easier... and I'm basically doing ZERO work.


    The hard part is when one wants me to work a day outside of my normal shift and I actually have to go around and hustle like normal outside of the time he's there.

    ^ Wow. Inspiring. I'm going to do a better job at staying in touch with people.

    My goal amount is about 1k a week between my day job and stripping. If I barely work any hours at day job for example, I'll try to make 1k stripping for the week.
    If I work a lot at day job, I might take a full week or more off stripping. If I could actually STICK to this, it would be awesome. In my old area , I can live in like $600 a week if I try ( really ... it's cheap ). In my new area .... ugh .... this 1k a week goal like has to happen or I'm tight .

    wow! everyone's living expenses are so high. I pay 125 a week for rent, 50 for gas, and maybe 100 a week for groceries. my car insurance is 100 a month (so about 25 a week) and I have no other bills so in order to sustain myself I need 300 a week lol

    I'm happy making at LEAST 300 in one shift so whatever else I make during the week is just extra for savings and shopping sprees...trying to cut back on the shopping sprees...but it's hard! I have been putting away savings though so I'm proud :]

    I'd say I'm happy with 1500-2000 per week. it really depends on the week and how busy the club was. if it was slow and NO ONE made any money I won't be mad about making 1500 for working 4 days.

    I have a lot of bills, but luckily husband takes care of those mostly. I pay for my daughter's daycare and extracurriculars as well as paying down our credit card and to have our house remodeled.

    So for me, 1k a week is cool. That's in three 6-8 hour shifts.

    At the moment, a $10,000 night or more would make me happy enough to leave dancing behind forever. It may not be nearly enough to retire on but its a start. Otherwise, I'm happy with $400 per night and up.

    When I was dancing, I was happy with $350 and up if I was working 5 days. Less days than that, my average obviously went up.

    Usually $1500 a week made it worth it to me.

    I need about $500/week to pay my monthly bills and a have a few 'extra's (like ordering in and buying a few candles/items of clothing here and there).

    But to be HAPPY, I need to make $1500-$2000/week, regardless of how many nights I work (2 or 6). I'd prefer to work 3-4 days a week and make that number, but it's difficult week-in week-out.

    I like to make minimum 500$ /night. I would much rather be making 7 or 8 hundred a night minimum but you can't win 'em all.

    500-600 a week for me covers the bills, gas, groceries, all the basic needs. I need to make more if I want to do more than just work to survive though. Like being ablt to go out to eat, go shopping, all that.

    I always go in with the attitude that I am gonna make more, but I usually cap it at about 600. If I could work more, I could make more, but my car sucks so I have to car pool to the club (I refuse to work in town anymore) and I can usually only catch a ride thur-sat.

    I'm on the verge of getting my first apartment (I rent a room currently), so now I will need to bring in at least $1000/week to cover rent, bills, and tuition.

    ECSTATIC with 700+ a night. HAPPY with 500 a night. SATISFIED with 300 a night. Mildly pissed about 200 a night. On the verge of quitting and moving to a tropical nation at 100 a night.

    Funny though because most of my friends have "real" jobs and they make about 70 dollars everyday for 8 hours of work on their feet without reasonable breaks. We have to consider that even when things are bad we're still doing better than most.

    I'm content with $350 a night. I'm happy with $650 a night. Over a G a night and I'm calling my mom to tell her the good news while I do my money dance.


    Weekly I like to get around $2500. And I work like 6 days a week so that's a reasonable goal.
