    Sad not sure what to do next

    Sorry this is so long! So right now I'm broke and getting out of a bad marriage. I had to move back in with my parents, but in April they're moving out of the country and I'm not going with them. I'm really freaking out about the possibility of being broke and homeless again.

    I was going to move to Tucson to live with another family member but it looks like that plan is going to fall through. I've also looked into the idea of staying with friends for awhile but I realized that they aren't as good friends as I thought they were.

    On the positive side though, starting in March I'm going to be getting paid to watch my autistic brother during the day, but he's moving as well. But at least I will get a little bit of money. It won't be too much, but at the moment I have $20 left to my name so anything more would be an improvement. My dad is also giving me his car when he moves so that is awesome.

    I've been thinking about dancing for years and it might just happen soon. The closest big city to where I live is Seattle, but I've read on sw that it's not that great for dancing. I am thinking about just moving to a whole new city and starting over, especially after a bad breakup. I've never been independent before and that freaks me out too.

    I don't really have anyone to talk to about my situation which is why I think I'm so stressed out about this. I have (or had) friends with very strong views about stripping so I'm glad I found sw Do any of you have thoughts, opinions, helpful advice? I would really love some outside opinions.

    i'm sorry everything is going so crappy for you, just remember that things can and will get better is you stay positive and try your best

    i started dancing when i got kicked out on my own right after highschool, it was a great decision for me and allowed me a lot of freedome to a good start on my own. you also have 2 good months before you are on your own, PLENTY of time to build up a little savings and get a place. would you be able to dance 4/5 nights a week?

    anywhere you work you can make enough to support yourself comfortably IF YOU WANT IT. you have to work for it but that sounds like a fantastic option toget back on your feet. get yourself situated with the clubs in your area and anywhere you move to, (its the easiest job transfer to go state to state, but make sure to geta lisence if the state requires.) keep your attitude positive and stay focused on your goals, as long as you do this and steer clear of drugs and heavy drinking at work you can be very well off. scope out clubs, figure out the ropes and rules and keep to yourself, (your job is to make $$$ not friends)

    check out all the newbie boards on here and best of luck!!!

    Thanks so much foxrc! You're right I do have plenty of time to save up money and dancing 4-5 nights a week would give me a good chunk of change. Trying to stay positive has been a struggle for me but hearing about how dancing has helped you makes me feel so much better about my situation

    Portland is a good option for you if you don't want to work in Seattle. I haven't heard very good things about working there either :/

    I didn't even think of Portland. I think that's a good option because I'm a little worried about having an entertainers licence from Seattle show up on a background check.

    And I don't have a car right now, but I should be getting one in a few months (probably in May)

    Portland is very bicycle friendly and has a much much better public trans system.
