UnclearContent: Sorry for speaking about you in the third person for much of this post...
Before people keep beating up on UnclearContent's financial situation, I'll just remind everyone that 1) we don't know the details, and certainly not what his medical issues are, and 2) medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States. It's not exactly fair to UnclearContent to assume he's been somehow irresponsible to end up in this situation. He clearly has medical issues that are complicating his personal and financial life, with student loans on top of it, at a time when they are the worst deal that they've been in a long time. Exploring the idea of his g/f stripping, when she's comfortable with it, is not the "easy way out." It's just one more job option, and one which they happen to know will provide a good income to address their financial needs. People do jobs all the time that aren't ideal, all in order to maximize profits, pay off debt, or what-have-you.
The issue here is not the financial situation - which could be what it is for a great number of legitimate reasons - or the idea of his girlfriend stripping - which is a perfectly legal job, and one which can in fact pay well and provide significant help to their situation. The issue is that UnclearContent is not communicating with his girlfriend about how the prospect of her stripping makes him feel.
Stripping may be a perfectly respectable job, but that doesn't mean it's a job that UnclearContent has to be comfortable with. Clearly, UnclearContent, you're very much uncomfortable with the idea of your girlfriend stripping, so it seems you need to explain to her how you feel, just as you've explained it here, and start brainstorming other ways to get out of your financial hardship.
Good luck.
