So I am 22 years old , I am currently in university full time to earn my BA, I am about 7 classes away from finishing. For the past 3 years I have been working as an exotic dancer to pay my bills and basically survive. As you may know, this business is up and down, hit or miss. I can make $500- 800 on a good night or $100 to negative on a bad night. I usually work around 4 days per week as this job is extremely tiring. Anywho, I just found out that I am pregnant and I have been panicking as there is absolutely no way I can afford to pay my apartment rent , utilities, food, etc. without working as a dancer. Obviously I will be forced to quit my job once I start to show. As of now I am staring to piece together a plan to have enough money saved in order to get by for the estimated 4 to 5 months I will be taking off due to my pregnancy and recovery. I need help on ideas on how to save and make sure that I will be able to get by during my pregnancy due to having to quit my job. Right now my monthly bills are rent : 1 bedroom apartment $1410, electric $100, utilities $100, and I buy food everyday because I have no time to cook. I also have a car note of $400 but I am starting to think that I will need to get rid of the car because I won’t be able to afford it ! I live in CA. Thank you for your help !
