I never claimed to be making "such" money. A couple thousand of dollars a month is not hard to make dancing. I have made anywhere from probably 1000 - 10,000 dollars a month since I began dancing. I've had hard times and good times. This post was not meant to boast... at all.
But since many of you have asked, mostly I have spent my money taking trips with my boyfriend. I wouldn't see it as a waste, but since I have mostly fueled vacations with my money rather than concrete savings/material things I think most of my money has gone into memories (food, nails, drinks, plane flights, etc). I have bought clothing with this money as well, shoes and the like. But I have felt like none of the money has gone into a rainy day fund. That's mostly my issue. I've spent it on having fun, which I don't necessarily regret, but easy come easy go.
Also, my goal with my current boyfriend is marriage. I wouldn't ask him to support me while we are still dating, at least not completely. I am graduating college soon and hopefully I can have a good job afterwards, but I worry that even with my college degree I will have to continue dancing. I want he and I to be married in the future and have children. That's the only time I would hope he would support me 100% financially, because he can afford to. He is much older than me, so obviously these goals are on more of a constrained timeline. Now I would like to build a future for myself, but I don't necessarily want to do it by dancing forever. However, we do not live in the same city. He lives in SF, I live in SD. But when I go to his house I do all of his housework, cooking, etc, despite the fact he has a maid. So I am not lazy/opposed to domestic activities.
