Making Money
This page lists several ways of making money in Girl Life.
Pavlovsk
Ask your mother for money: Talk to your mother in the kitchen of your apartment. Relationship must be 80 or greater. She will give you 150 rubles if your grades are 70 or greater (300 rubles if your grades are 90 or greater). Decreases relationship by 1 and can only be done once per day.
Ask your stepfather for money: He needs to be in the living room in order for you to ask him, but your relationship needs to be REALLY good with him. Pay out is between 200-300 rubles if you are successful.
Work as a cleaning lady: Go to the clinic and ask for a job. 100 rubles for 1:00 hour work, once a day
Work as a cleaning lady: Go to the train station and into the office and ask for a job. 250 rubles for 2 hours work, once a day. You can also talk to Vera when cleaning the women's restroom.
Work as a maid: Go to the hotel and talk to the receptionist and ask about the job, then go to Administration between noon and 2pm. 375 rubles plus tips (which increase the longer you've been doing the job) for 2-3 hours work, once a day.
Hotel: Work as a Maid: there can be a random event in which the PC can spy through a keyhole. She gets caught and Pavlin will take her money. When the PC encounters the room again, they can beg Pavlin for their money back and he will demand sex. After that he tricks the PC into becoming their whore. Once a day, the PC can ask for "Peacock" at the reception desk to get a generic job. Pavlin will be in the foyer offering additional jobs.
Work at the barbershop: Go to the barbershop and ask the barber for work. You can work for an hour once a day while the barbershop is open and get 125 rubles.
Deliver mail: Go to post office and talk to postmaster. 450 rubles for up to 3 hours work, Saturday only (and you have to give advance warning if you're going to miss a day). NB. the amount of mail you have to deliver is random; if the bag is full you have to take shortcuts to finish on time which can result in you being robbed (or worse).
Distribute flyers: Go to the small park. 50 rubles for 1 hour of work, as often as you like
Community Center, Ladies' toilet, last stall: The gloryhole pays 100 rubles for each customer.
Sell trinkets: There are two ways to do this. Firstly, you can get a job cleaning the train station (see above) and talk to the cashier (Vera) in the women's restroom. She will tell you that you can make good money buying trinkets from the warehouse terminal in the city (for 100 rubles each) and selling them at the station. Alternatively, if your Sewing skill is high enough, you can make your own trinkets (at a cost of 50 rubles each). Either way, you can sell the trinkets at the station when the long distance trains arrive (at 11am and 6pm) for 300 rubles each. You will probably be stopped by police afterwards; it's simplest just to bribe them. After your first sale you can ask your stepfather to let you store more trinkets in his garage.
Gas station: Wash cars for cash between 9am and 8pm. 60 rubles for 1 hour of work. If PC dresses as a Bimbo, strangers will ask you do do something for money.
Will not work if semen is on PC's face, or if weather is too cold.

Performing with the Starlets pays up to 5000 rubles. Afterwards, Albina may ask the PC to stay behind and be "affectionate" to some guy (or guys), which pays up to 9000 rubles.
Prostitution: If PC's reputation is known as a "prostitute" around the residential area, customers will knock on the PC's apartment. Money varies by customer.
Uncle Misha: Will pay the PC 500 rubles initially then 200 rubles each time the PC visits his apartment.
For Cursed Schoolgirl playthroughs: becoming a succubus can be an income source as well. "Losing" an argument with your succubus nature while asleep will yield a random amount of money when you wake up. Also, "hunting" at night around the Pavlosk community center will yield money at the end of each successful hunt that does not involve a rapist or mugger. This can be done multiple times each night between 21:00 and 04:00.

Work in a cafe: Go to the cafe and speak to the owner. Monthly payday, pay out depends on the amount of days you showed up. You get to keep any tips you make. You can either work on the market or the cafe, but not both. If you wish you to change careers between the two, resign from your current job and apply to the other one. At either job, you can miss as many work days as you want, you won't get fired for not showing up. Familiarize yourself with the cafe owner, who will ask for help and want your body. Give him what he wants and you can earn 5000 rubles. After that, ask for help every time you finish work.

Also at the Nightclub, if your appearance stat is above (or equal to) 120, there is a 1/11 chance that you will be approached by the club's manager, Erik. He will offer you regular work that you may perform multiple times each night. Accepting his offer will provide the benefit of not having to pay to enter the nightclub. Looking for Erik will give you a random job ranging from attracting customers to the club, handing out free drinks or even dancing and will pay at least 200 rubles per job.
Work as a Glamour Model: At Aphrodite Photography, the PC can ask about being a model. Being truthful about your age and being brave (requires exhibition 20 or 30 at least) will take you through the interview process. If the PC is underage, they must ask for options which will lead to being told about the "Suspicious Character" who owns a shop in the Red Light district. Paying him 30,000 rubles will get the PC a fake passport. After this, return and reapply to Aphrodite Photography to begin work. You can be paid for modeling work twice a week with additional opportunities as your modeling skill and willingness to show yourself grows.
Work as a Commercial actress: this is one of the additional opportunities unlocked at random via Aphrodite photography. It is rare, but can pay several times the amount that normal modeling would pay.

The PC can make money kickboxing at the Havana fitness center in Saint Petersburg, with the winner's purse starting at 500 rubles. To take part in an amateur fight kickboxing match, the PC needs to buy some lessons in order to access the gym (although fighting doesn't use any lessons). To improve the PC's fighting skills, do some sparring (or beat up purse snatchers, etc). You can have a maximum of one fight per week -- on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. The winner's purse (and the quality of the opposition) is determined by which belt the PC holds. To advance to green belt (700), the PC must have five more wins than losses. To advance to purple belt (1000) she needs 10 more wins than losses ''at that level''. Blue belt (1500) is fifteen more wins at that level, brown belt (4000) is 20 more wins, black belt (8000) is 25 more wins. Theoretically, if the PC has one fight per week and never loses, she can reach black belt level in the fifty-seventh week of the game (and would have earned 164,500 getting there).
Also in the Fitness Center, the PC can take part in running competitions every week, with a pay out of up to 20,000 for winning the city championship (Note that the qualifying rounds only pay 2,000 and the championship is quite rare)
In the Beauty Bar, the PC with a masseuse certificate -- which can be acquired in the community centre in the industrial region -- can work as a masseuse. They may also consent to performing 'extra services', which can range from performing a massage naked to full sex, with various stages in between. The pay ranges from 400 rubles per shift for a regular clothed massage up to 1000 rubles per shift for consenting to everything. Whatever the PC consents to originally, they can later change their mind. The PC can also choose to work full time or part time -- if choosing full time, they are expected to work 10 shifts per week, and if choosing part time, they are expected to run 5 shifts - although workers may take extra if they want. The shifts for the week can be chosen in advance -- each day has three potential shifts (09:00-13:00, 13:00-17:00, and 17:00-21:00), although some of these may not be available. The chance of a shift being unavailable is reduced for full time employees.

After reconnecting with her Birth Father, the PC can meet him once a week at the Truck Complex and during interactions with him, ask for money.

Delivery job: When talking to the homeless man in the city residential area, he may ask for some money. If the PC chooses to offer him a trifle amount, they can unlock a delivery job that consists of taking a disk from the porn studio to the sauna in the residential district, receiving an envelope for it, and then taking the envelope back to the porn studio. This will pay out 5000 rubles and can be repeated every Friday. However, there are some serious consequences for losing the envelope, which happens with a 3 /101 chance when travelling via taxi and a 21/101 chance when taking the metro. As far as I am aware these are the only ways of losing the envelope, but I may be wrong. -Pocket
Work as a pornographic actress: Once the PC unlocks the porn studio (via the delivery job, Aphrodite photography etc), she can film porn a few times a week for various amounts of rubles.
Sell your body: Go into the sex toy shop in the Red Light District and into its basement. There you can watch a porn flick for 50 rubles, but sometimes you get the option to stick your finger into a hole in order to please someone.
