    Default Who is frustrated by the year 2014?

    I had alot of working/financial goals that I had this year. And I missed my goals by alot of money. I got really sidetracked this year by travelling. And I'm feeling a lot of anxiety with the fact that I didn't work as hard as I could've this year. Is anyone else feeling this way.

    Wow, this's the perfect thread for me!
    Although, my sitch's more along the lines of issues that came up about working/keeping me from working: health, living conditions. Yes, for sure feeling lots o' anxiety, but really trying to stay positive.
    ETA: Going to project 2015 to be my year, finally! & wishing the best for all!

    Agree w/ you & Whirlerz.

    My situation has been getting laid off from my vanilla job bc of office politics, bad luck w/ my club in DC shutting down, a not-so-profitable strip trip to Baltimore, & then my home situation preventing me from dancing now that I am back in my hometown. My romantic relationship is shot, probably for good, so there go the goals & hopes I had pinned to it. I have felt so frustrated & depressed over my financial situation, esp since my tax debt is now family debt & while there's 'no pressure' as far as when it gets paid back, it is still hanging over my head. I have no idea what kind of earnings I'll be able to expect from the military, & wonder if going to the reserves rather than active would have been a better fit since I could possibly dance on the side.

    All around, this past yr just feels like one failure after another.

    Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one. This year was extremely disappointing to me too. I had high hopes for making lots of money this year, but I couldn't work consistently enough to save up. I keep going into the club, and come home and spiral downwards into the deepest, darkest depression. But I am feeling positive for 2015! I just look at the year of 2014 as "growing pains" and learning lots of lessons. Some lessons I've learned this year include: learning to stand up for myself more, learning to control my emotions a bit more, and just overall learning more about myself. Stripping has definitely toughened me up a bit, and that's what I needed.

    BTW, Aniela, good luck in the military. I'm not sure if you've been involved in the military before, but be prepared for the way they treat females. I've heard that, as a female, you fall into 3 categories in the eyes of the males who dominate the field. Girls fall into the category of being known as either a Bitch, Slut, or Dike. I'm sure you know all about it, but just in case, I thought I'd share this with you and anyone else who is thinking of joining the military.

    Anyway, yes, on to 2015, here we come!!! I agree with you Whirlerz, we can turn this shit around!!!

    @SK you are preaching to the choir love, but thnx I have long since made my peace w/ 'being the Bitch'. Been telling myself that if I could survive sm of the situations I've encountered while dancing then the military should be cake … hoping the stripper mentality of 'Be polite but keep to yourself' & just a little (ok maybe not so little) touch of paranoia will keep me safe.

    ^^Yeah, I figured you knew already. I only just learned about that recently, so it was still fresh in my mind. I guess we live in a misogynistic world no matter what field we're in. We just have to adapt and keep moving forward regardless. Here's to 2015 for all of us... < (nonalcoholic beverage in glass, lol)

    I didn't make all my goals like stripping as a means of financial independence (I'm convinced the area kinda sucks for stripping) but I did accomplish some things like finding a side income besides club money.

    All the sucky parts of 2014 is just feedback on what to improve upon for 2015.

    this year has been my worst earnings wise..by far. some of it is my fault, but a lot of it had to do with my club getting greedy and getting slower, then firing me..oh, and gaining 30 pounds from my medication really threw me off..so yeah, i'd say this year really blew! and it went by SO fast. i can't believe its almost 2015. here is to a MUCH better year !

    This year actually started out great for me! But then ended up crashing in the beginning of the summer:-( I had the worst summer EVER! Not only did my husband's business take a huge blow, then he took a job he didn't like which created bad energy in our living space; but weather wise it was just one heat wave after another! It was fricken 90 degrees on ThanksGiving Day!! I also started looking for a new job, but I would end up getting two interviews, then not be hired:-(

    I was forced to work more shifts a week and the club I work in was in a much hotter (weather wise) part of the city. Then one day I went home in the negative. So I found a new place to work where they paid me hourly. We did so much stage work that I dislocated my thumb (no lap dances). In October, we came into some $$, so things were getting back to normal, we paid all of our bills, we were able to go out and do some fun things, so I quit the stage club. In mid November, another financial thing hit. This time, it hasn't hit me so hard. I went back to my old club and for some reason, $$ is a bit better. (But last week I got hit with a horrible cold and haven't been able to work).

    I'm studying for my CPT now, have a job interview lined up for after Christmas, so I think things are looking up.

    This year was kind of rough for me as well. I expected to come into dancer maturity and start off the year right but after a really bad breakup with my on again off again boyfriend I kind of hit depression hard and even though I was going to work I wasn't putting in any type of effort. These last few months have seemed like bad club after bad club that I've been working at, but My area isn't really a strip club mecca so I'm definately rooting for 2015. TO be the year to travel and kick ass and give it my all as a stripper. I really want to be financially independent just dancing, and not worrying about bills that I have to pay or debt that I need to pull myself out of.

    this year def sucked ass for money making in this buisness but I'd rather be doing this than a boring vanilla job! The year has also sucked for me in many other ways that I hope to make a turnaround for next year

    ^This! I couldn't work for like 6 months cuz of an injury, and then school started and it kicked my ass so hard that I basically had to spend every waking moment studying, and had NO TIME to work at all. Soo....I realize that a lot of that was technically not my fault, but it does make me feel a lot worse about the days when I could have gone in but CHOSE not to. 2015 will be way better!!

    2014 Sucked, so did 2013 but 2014 was worse. 2014 had to have been one of the worst years in my life so far and I am not exaggerating. Business sucked and it hasn't gotten much better yet either. My car was a piece of junk so I was and am still car-less which I know has affected my business to a certain degree. My personal life was in turmoil and to top it all off I think I might be pregnant (something I wasn't exactly planning on right now). So yeah I am ready to leave this year behind me.

    Agreed that it went by SO fast. I've gotten much better at a lot of things with dancing, like disciplining myself to go in and save instead of being a subsistence stripper... but I definitely have not worked as much as I wanted to. Hopefully next year I am able to work/save more.

    This was the worst year of my life. Emotionally, financially, etc. People would see one thing after another happen and be like "how are you not completely depressed?" But I was. I reaaalllllyyy was. Thank god most of the "wounds" have healed and things are getting back on track. Can't wait to leave 2014 in the past. 2015 FTW!!

    I was. Took a lot of time off for my boob job and had various health issues on top of that. Not to mention spending $6500 on the boobs, ~$4000 on a new place, ~$1500 on a vacation, and I don't even want to say how much in taxes. This was the first year I dipped into my savings rather than added to them, and holy shit did I dip..

    Here's to next year.
