…intended for exotic dancers but valuable to many more of us (found by Geegaw):

“There are many excuses for not saving your money but in my experience few of them are valid. Single mother, health problems whatever- you can still afford to save.”

“Set enough aside to pay for all of your expenses–food, housing, tuition, utilities, car, whatever for 4 months. This is your emergency fund, put it in your saving account and don’t spend it. The rest you should invest.”

The best possible investment you can make is an education. With a nice big nest egg and a good degree you can do just about anything you want when you retire from dancing. Without an education or any job skills that money will eventually be gone.”
