According to a conversation Bristol Palin had with People magazine, she is financially independent and doesn't share her parents' growing purse as she tries to raise Tripp, her son. "I'm doing it by myself," Bristol told People, "I live by myself, I'm working to provide for (my son). It is difficult. Financially, it's very difficult. I'd say the majority of any paycheck I ever receive is going to Tripp." The magazine asked Bristol how a typical day goes for her while she attended a New York City fundraiser Wednesday for the Candie's Foundation, for which she serves as spokesperson. She responded, starting at the beginning, "When I wake up from the few hours of sleep I do get, I'm getting (Tripp) ready for the babysitter's house, I'm off to work providing for him, working for him."
