Money can be gained a few ways:i'm kinda stuck at chapter 2, I don't have the gold to get the girl drunk and I don't know where to go to be stripper, ( I tried speaking to everyone at the club in red light district, but that apparently ain't it)
- Progress Abbie's relationship quest until you unlock Emily's house and can do maid work for her
- Sell items in town
- (Chapter 3 onwards) Wrestling.
But you can also get past that part without getting the girl drunk, it just requires taking a bit more of a risk...
You can become a stripper after you've retrieved the phone and given it back to the agent by talking to the barmaid in Cervexa.
