    Default After 7 years and $1.1Million, this is what I have learned

    It's hard to believe, and certainly some readers will not, but I have recently passed the $1 million dollar mark in my stripping / hustling career. And later this week, I will retire from the gold-digging life forever.

    As with so many other of the milestones we all experience, its a mixture of happiness and sadness. I accomplished so much; I made so many mistakes. I learned so much; I have so much more to learn. When I was down I thought I would never be up again; now I'm up and I know the down times will return some day. Money isn't everything, but it makes a hell of a difference. Especially when you came from the gutter.

    I grew up dirt poor, my mother was insane, my father didn't acknowledge me, and by the time I was 15 I was hopeless and homeless.

    I knew three things: I was broke, I wasn't always going to be broke, and pussy was all I had to trade on.

    I've worked in strip clubs, as an escort, but things didn't really come together for me until I put all my energy into gold-digging from a short list of wealthy men.

    The gold digging took all kinds of forms. There was one man who didn't want to fuck me (really!). He dutifully showed up in his Jaguar and handed me $900 every time we saw each other. He wanted to be listened to. He needed a pretty to need him. Drives in the countryside, trips to Europe, he changed my life.

    The next one was much more wealthy. It started with meeting once a week at a nice hotel, $2000 passed discreetly to me behind closed doors. He didn't just want sex on Friday afternoons. Sunday mornings he showed up at my shitty apartment and took me out for coffee. When I graduated from law school, he joined me to pick up my degree. Eventually he handed me a cheque for $150,000 to help buy my apartment. The money kept coming. I have so much to be grateful for. And so much to regret.

    Could you suck dick of a man twice your age? Could you pretend his stinky balls don't bother you? Could you lay in bed beside someone who physically repulsed you, and pretend he's the man of your dreams? Could you do it for a million dollars? I did.

    I reached a point when it wasn't worth it. The adventure was fun. I walked into Gucci store and spent money like it ain't no thang. Those sales bitches wouldn't have given me the time of day when I was younger. By the end, I pitied them. Looked down upon them. Spent my money and walked away to my easy life. Let them toil on their feet all day long, waiting for a commission. Same thing with the car dealers, the real estate agents. I proved my point.

    Most of the money passed through my hands like water when you try to make a cup to drink from between your palms. Your thirst is quenched, but you're never going to be full.

    Most of the money is gone now. Whats left will be enough to see me through to the next stage of my life. Whatever that is.

    I'm in the 'fuck you' position now. If I don't like a job or people in my life, I can just say fuck you. I have my regrets but I wouldn't have it any other way. The alternative, honestly, it makes me shudder. Earning an honest living, when you started with nothing, is not something I could have survived.

    Some day it might become a book. But for now, the lesson I learned is fairly simple. Save your money. It doesn't matter how much you are earning, the only number that counts is how much you are saving.

    Pussy is a perishable commodity. By the time you realize this, its almost too late. I figured it out in the nick of time. The last score was enough to put a roof over my head and money in the bank, to achieve the fuck you position I needed.

    What comes next? Who knows. All I'm sure of is that I earned more money in the past 7 years than most people do in an entire career. And what I have to show for it seems hardly enough for all the shit I had to deal with.

    So if you're in this game, if any of this is resonating with you, just remember: it doesn't matter how much game you have, or if you're walking around in $900 shoes. You're only really making progress in the sex industry if you are saving your earnings.

    Good luck ladies!

    I enjoyed your bittersweet post on what this industry can do for you, and what it can't do for you. One thing that can never be taken away from you is your determination and work ethic. Congratulations on being in a position where you can retire! Also, I'm impressed by your ability and willingness to reflect honestly on your career. Lots of people try to either glorify or demonize this industry - the truth is always somewhere in the middle.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Agreed. That's why I try to save a good chunk of my money; I don't want to be one of those girls who says "Yeah I was a stripper for 3 years" and has absolutely nothing to show for it but a bunch of overpriced purses and shoes. I want to at least have a nice, paid-off car that will last several years and be able to pay for (at least part of) medical school. This is a high risk, high reward sort of industry and you should get the most out of it you can. It can be a great opportunity if you use both your high income and extra free time to pursue another, more permanent, avenue.

    Thank you for posting!

    @Luvlydancer we are sisters from another mother Hopefully your wonderful post will resign-ate with some ladies here and their years in this industry will be more fulling for their long term success rather than short term gratification

    I'm glad you have some of that money left so you can choose what you want to do now, and I really really hope you do write that book. You write beautifully!

    Thank You for posting such an inspirational Thread! Congrats on knowing that saving is the only way to go.
    I never did when I danced, (well I did, but didn't want to listen). I spent money as fast as it came in, thinking that I would stop dancing and get married to someone wealthy. I did, but when we spit, his lawyers were more powerful than the ones I could afford, and I got nothing.
    I went back to dancing, made money form a corporate job, but sadly everything I invested tanked back in 2008.
    I have always known one thing,,, that it is the male species that does come through for me financially.
    Even as I am going through tough financial times right now, the very wealthy girl friends who COULD help me, WON'T.
    It's still the men who are coming through for me.
    I have learned this lesson the hard way, and never take money earned for granted anymore. Saving is the only saving grace.

    Man, this is why is why I joined stripperweb. Only a woman who has lived the life can truly understand what that feels like. And*Salute* to you for taking lemons and turning it into lemonade.

    The business can be so cold, lonely, and isolating at times.

    I'm a total wreck about how much I've made versus what I have. In 9 years, I've made $1.8m. I don't have a million dollars because I only started saving three years ago. I've got two years left, and I intend to make the most of it. Honestly, I'm sad.. I love my job but I'm 29 and I feel my time is limited. Stripping is such a huge part of my identity; I wish I could do it forever.

    Huge congrats on your 'work ethic'. And even larger congrats on saving / investing at least part of the money you earned, to the point of now having a 'f#@k you clause' available. IMHO that 'f#@k you clause' is the true measure of success in our industry. It took me 12 1/2 years to finally get my own !

    I agree entirely regarding the 'perishable commodity'. No matter how beautiful a girl is, and no matter what kind of 'shape' she keeps herself in, eventually the day will arrive when the physical / emotional / psychological demands of our industry can no longer be tolerated ... and the income stream will stop flowing. Before that point arrives, it's of paramount importance that the girl has saved / invested enough money so that she can exercise the 'f#@k you clause' without having to worry about rent payments, looking for a 'straight' job, etc. for the rest of her life.

    Of course, the next 'challenge' will be hanging onto the money you have saved / invested ... or better yet letting your money earn you even more money !!!
