Strippers And Money Management
jsully63
Smoke em if you got them
We all know most of these girls live in the moment and have zero ability to manage their money. I’ve never considered trying to help them learn to manage their money. It’s their business and I have no interest in being captain save-a-ho in any way. However I was at the club Sunday night and it was a bit slow. I saw one of my long time favorites and invited her to sit and chat and being a slow night there was no rush to go for a dance. She’s a bit older than most of the girls maybe 34 or 35 and was talking to me about figuring out an exit plan from dancing before Father Time pushes her out the door. She mentioned she was talking with eight or nine of the other girls the night before about how bad they all are at managing their money and said they all wished the had someone to help them. She didn’t know I work in finance and when I mentioned it she said she’d hire me for financial advice and so wouldn’t a lot of the other girls. While I doubt any of them would take my advice seriously the monger in me thought I’d be happy to do this just for extras. And it would be interesting to see how much money the girls are pulling in. On the other side I’m not sure how well I could deal with some of the stupidity seeing them piss their money away. Many I’ll start with my favorite and see how it goes. Fellow PL’s what do you think

It was a task I once thought I could dive into, but maybe as a part time side gig once I’m retired, looking at it more as volunteer work for humanity just so I’m not emotionally invested. I’d prefer to play it as a take it or leave it approach. My practice it way too serious now to be dealing with young carefree types who have little concerto if what it takes to plan for the bigger picture.
1. Get rid of your deadbeat BF
2. Use birth control
3. Don't buy drugs
4. Work a set schedule and full shifts whether you need the money or not
5. Do extras and OTC
Not necessarily in that order.
Soon after, it will completely backfire on you. No stripper wants to give extras to a guy who she believes is acting like a judgmental d-bag, so instead they'll start avoiding you when they know that they've fucked up.
I've seen this goofy fucking theory from financial advisor types floated on here several times over the years and it doesn't get any less stupid by its repetition. If you want to spin your wheels, make no money and alienate the girls who you want to suck your dick, then by all means step right up. If you were a lawyer you might have something of value to offer them, but an FA who thinks that he has something wonderful to offer most strippers is dramatically over-valuing himself.
I know plenty of 25 year olds are shit at saving, but those with W2 jobs also often just make less per hour than strippers.

@Meatless you've certainly been in attack-mode lately. You do seem proud of yourself -- but for the life of me I can't figure out why?
I've observed over the years that financial planners are grunts, with sort of lower-level analytical ability. For example my next-door neighbor was a dipshit who struggled with high-school algebra -- yet he did go on to one of our mediocre state schools and became a FP.
Here’s the link, Randumbmember. you can start lobbying hard for convenient cock suckers! No need to thank me.
In fact, she was quite proud of her money management. She is a bright person and I’ll wager she was doing fine with her family finances.
Most people can manage their financial situation better than well intentioned strangers. Anyway that’s my experience.
But, go ahead and mansplain finance to a dancer. Let me know how it turns out.
Call me jaded but I suspect when anyone really wants advice about anything and has a serious intention to follow through, they go hire a professional. Therefore I suspect that the request for advice was more likely an SS play to butter up a customer. If you take it seriously, I don’t think it will go well.
Back to the OP’s topic, I fully concur with mark94’s last comment. Most people should know what’s best for themself, but human behavior dictates success, so if you can find success in Avenues in addition to or outside of the strip club, you’ll likely be able to manage your life quite well. Career minded club workers many times resort to creating their own prison, Pandora’s box.
Many people are bad w/ $$$ either thru innate stupidity or they were brought-up by shitty-parents that lived as chaotic lives as the strippers do - I do think many would like advice (as long as they are the ones that ask); and being strippers of course they want/expect to get-it for free from PLs just like they want a PL that knows about cars to fix their car (for free) or a PL that's good w/ computers to build them a website (for free); etc - but them following the advice is of course a different ball-of-wax.
If you do it - go in w/ low-expectations of success and don't get emotionally involved as to whether they do what they are supposed to do.

You struggle with the English language @Meathead. Any 4th-grader can explain the difference b/w "your" and "your're" (and you've made the same mistake several times in the past few days).
Also it should be "themselves" instead of "themself" to match "Most people" which is plural.

This is typical of your clumsy, clownish, pretentious, writing style. You should focus on getting your point across with simple, clear, prose. For example:
"It's better for strip-club workers to have a parallel career path. Many dedicated club workers make bad decisions."
Yes, and water is wet. See how easy that was @Meatless?
