stripping: mom approved, cure-all to any and every money struggle.
Examples:
2 years ago after graduating with a less than impressive English Degree from The University of Texas, with no job prospects. Mom says's, "Well Sam.. have you considered stripping, like ...the opposite side of town from where you live? There is money to be made, I won't be ashamed of you."
When my student loan bills started coming.. in red envelopes. Mom says, "Sam, seriously.. strap a pole, come on, put those good moves to use, you have rhythm, use it.
Yesterday, when after reading this article about a guy who paid off his $90k student loan in 7 months, I asked her if there was anything I could do. Like what was I good at that I could do on the side, something creative.
Mom's response: That would be great, but he sacrificed quite a bit. Are you willing to do the same thing with strapping a pole… you should respond to his blog if your able to and ask him to help you out. Appeal to him as only you know how to work it…..
Thanks mom.. I feel like she's alluding to me doing a bit more than strapping a pole. How does she know what I would do to "appeal to him?" ..oh that's right, she's my mom. Mom's do know best, right?
On occasions of circumstance, I will sell shots at a bar where everyone knows my name. When telling my mom how much money I can make on a good night, rather than say "Wow, Sam that's awesome".. My mom says, "Wow, Sam...see imagine if you were a stripper!!"
