    Default Good things stripping allowed you to do

    I haven’t danced in about 4 years and I’m thinking of going back. I’m quite scared and hesitant tho. I do it because I want a masters and no debt. I also want some flexibility so that I will focus on school more.
    Anyway, to encourage myself to strip again, I just want to list good things that stripping allowed me to do:
    1. Get a bachelor’s with no debt
    2. Incredible schedule flexibility
    3. Afford a much needed remodeling in the house
    4. Afford a brand new car
    5. Afford to open retirement account and stack away money for it.
    6. Make sure I have no debt of any sort. High credit score
    7. Ability to save money for living expenses for a year.

    those are all I can think of right now. Add yours too! I’d really love to know

    Allow me to live a comfortable, financially stable life despite having a chronic disability that randomly affects how I function day to day (if it flares up, I don’t have to go into work)

    Allowed me to move states away from my abusers and have my own place.

    Without getting into writing a novel-

    * Helped me support my ex when he got out of the armed services (he had extreme PTSD from being in war zones so my income helped keep him out of desperate situations.)


    * Supported family members and friends in their hours of need (I could come through for them financially)


    * Allowed me my own schedule when I was dealing with painful chronic health issues


    * Allowed me to pay off debt from when I was extremely sick and bedridden.

    Take days or even weeks off to heal from C-PTSD and suicidal depression. Be able to afford therapy and to live decently, save money, get out of debt, look the way I want to look, start my own business, invest. I also learned work ethic and self care.

    TBH it allowed me to give my kids the things in life that I never had. I don’t just mean monetary things, however that too, but a safe environment, a nice home, a reliable parent who could be there for homework and dinner and anything I needed to be there for. When I started, I was a single Mom with a one week old baby and no home or car, or life. Dancing paid for private school, a house, two cars, and the ability to be in my babies lives for every moment!

    Im going back after 5 years away. Things dancing has done for me-
    1) Allowed me a sense of freedom & creativity that I had been lacking
    2) Given me confidence and belief in myself
    3) Improved my physical fitness

    SO much. Really.
    Keep my house during the recession ( it's now my investment property and one of the best things in my life I've done financially ) .
    Travel and Adventure to 14-15 states.
    Debt pay down.
    Save me from boredom by providing interesting stimulation ( until I got bored of IT ! ) .
    ^ Just a few of the things.

    Thanks to stripping, I...

    1. Worked unpaid internships and low-paying gigs while I got established in a competitive field. (I moonlight as a dancer now, 1x a week roughly.)

    2. Am in better shape than ever and a better performer than ever

    3. Am paying down my mortgage aggressively.

    4. Can afford to maintain my appearance (fillers, plastic surgery, salon appointments)

    5. Can afford to take certain risks with my vanilla career (e.g., going freelance) bc I know I always have stripping income to fall back on

    6. Can take vacations almost anywhere and make money while I'm exploring a new place

    7. Have a different perspective on life because I see a side of it that most women don't

    8. Have learned to give no fucks

    Helped me to break out of my shell, as it were. If you understood what sort of upbringing I had, you'd realize how big of a deal that it.

    Kept me from having to deal with the wage attached unemployment which accompanied the seasonal layoffs at my last regular job.

    Kept me financially stable between jobs when I was fired from my last regular job for someone else's fuckup.

    Let me set some money aside, which I've used to make some smart investments that have paid off quite nicely, and that allows me to work a job I love, rather than chasing a higher salary in a miserable one.

    We have two girls we took into our home after they were undeservedly kicked out of theirs. There've actually been three all told - never more than two at once, though. The first decided it was time to leave the nest, and she joined the Navy last year. The other two came after she'd enlisted. So, I like to not only give them the caring home they deserve, but also to treat them a little, so I use some of the money I make stripping to do that. And now I've got that damn song stuck in my head after we bombarded our first 'refugee' with it once she'd chosen to enlist



    We have a house, and we're well ahead of our payment plan. Stripping is a part of that.

    I have a couple physical scars, including one I've mentioned before on my neck. Stripping has helped me feel less... I guess you might say broken, and it's been beneficial in helping me overcome some things related to them.

    I've met and networked with some traveling strippers. That may be beneficial to me if I get a case of wanderlust again.
