Financially Challenged

Many years ago, Distressed Personality DP was a very in demand artist. Here and abroad, DP's mass appeal was such that every show she mounted was sure to be a major hit. She owned her fame for years and was on top of her game. Her stardom was every artist's dream and envy.

But with the influx of younger and more talented artists, slowly, DP's stars began to dim. People were hardly watching her shows. She was no longer bankable. Soon projects hardly came by. DP came to a point where she had to accept offers for shows that were once beyond her dignity, like those with very low budget which also meant very small talent fees.

Yet amidst all that, she was still able to run a small business that kept her afloat but not stable enough to maintain her lifestyle - something that DP could not afford to lose. She just loved life and her fabulous friends.

Unfortunately, but predictably, DP became very desperate for money. For someone her age, she still looked good enough for some men. Not long after, DP was allegedly being seen frequently in the company of different men, mostly prominent personalities and politicians who were much older. Ever wonder how did she make money from that?

DP's new trade must have been really lucrative because she was at it for so long. It was reportedly the reason why she became more active in her social life - she wanted to be more visible so that she could meet more people. But things could only go so far. Not long after, she was no longer as in-demand. Suffice to say, she was having financial difficulties.

DP's financial state was just so bad that when she went to a gasoline station to gas up her vehicle, she was reportedly denied when she presented her petrol membership card. Turned out, her credit on her gasoline purchases was reportedly cut-off by the company after she incurred huge credits which she failed to pay even after repeated demands to settle the same. She freaked out when told that she could no longer use the said card.

Now there are reports that in order to survive, DP is just asking for money from her grown children. More often, she borrows money from an Ex-Relationship ER who is kind enough to just write off her loans. For a long time now, she hardly went out with friends if it will only entail expenses on her part.

Where did DP go wrong? Where did her savings go? With no money and career, where do we see DP going from hereon?
