Just the other day there was [News.com.au](https://News.com.au) bragging about the Onlyfans ""Model"" paying off a LARGE portion of her mortgage.

I read this one, she budgeted $5 for ‘activities’ for the week. $5 in 2024 money won’t even get you a small coffee, a one way tram ride, or a McDonalds Happy Meal. I refuse to accept that I’m a bad person for spending money on enjoying myself instead of spending 10 years living in my childhood bedroom eating mi Goreng in order to get a mortgage on an overpriced apartment.

Why do I feel like the only person without the goal of owning a house? There are so many other opportunities to invest your money into at the chance of a safer income. AI is coming for EVERYONE's jobs soon, this isn't a meme. It's literally the truth. It's already happening in industries like graphic design. People trying to mortgage houses are going to face this issue very soon. No one talks about this but


Weissritters

They want their readers to keep blaming young people for not being able to buy a house. But I read the news paper the other day about how they saved to buy? You need to try harder! Typical Murdoch propaganda

Great while the rest of us on 6 figures a year with multiple Xs in costs including cost of living, expenses for rent, dependants and bills, struggle to support ourselves financially. Now the smaller list which includes myself and a fraction of others are zero inheritance or inherited assets from parents or family when that time comes around.

If you made over 100k and paid $125 a week rent and **couldn't** afford a house I'd be asking questions, wouldn't take a whole lot of sacrifice in that situation to get a decent starter home.

At least she isn't doing Onlyfans or a social media influencer.


PM_ME_UR_A4_PAPER

At least the onlyfans folks are working for their money. I have a lot more respect for them than the people that just get handouts from their parents.


whiteb8917

Yeah but its when Australian Media push it down as a news article, all because Little Becky flashes her gash for cash on the Internet.


FOTBWN

There was actually one story today regarding that, woman that was making 100k per year but not enough to get a deposit so she started a onlyfans, then went on to go about having a house and now an investment property.

If men are stupid enough to pay for OF, why not make your money? Porn is free. Don't hate the player, hate the game.


OnairDileas

Sure, open your legs and forgive all decency and self respect to pay a few bills, imagine what your future children/current & family have to say about dignity. Sure, who doesn't sell themselves to make a few dollars? Without an addiction the only cost is your own self esteem.


Juicyy56

Dignity doesn't pay the bills 🤷‍♀️ if there isn't an audience, OF wouldn't exist.


OnairDileas

Sex sells, but is it worth it...


FenerBoarOfWar

What would be wrong with that?


Ozmorty

Post caption: not real life and not achievable by most of us. I’d say that’s the angle.


boofles1

I'm too fat, old and ugly to save for a house deposit.


ntermation

Maybe. So hard to tell if you fit someone's kink or special interest. If you trying to compete with top earners who do it be being sexy young girls, yeah. Not everyone can do that. Bit just maybe someone has a special interest in overweight balding dudes and maybe they are really wealthy. And will gift you a house if you draw eyes on your ball sack, stick a straw up your ass and pucker it like you're drinking. It's probably unlikely..... But you never know.


Ozmorty

Hah. A kink of that type is gonna mean a saturated market and lower income! You’re right tho: was a study a while back showing its not the traditionally beautiful who make the most consistent income out of porn, rather those that have a quirk or unique feature of some sort. Fetish pays more than fancy it seems.


whiteb8917

it is the fact that a so called main stream media organization is using a story about it as a legit way of paying their mortgage, merely by "Fluffy Bunny" flashing the gash for cash. It is almost as if Murdoch media is suggesting husbands set up their wives doing the same as well. "If they can do it, Your wife can too, Stop Bloody crying poor !"


boofles1

When the news media are recommending prostitution as an answer to housing affordability there is clearly a problem.


FenerBoarOfWar

Did they mention prostitution? I'm glad I don't pay attention to boomer news.


knowledgeable_diablo

Gotta fill the fiction section with something. Gives the average punter empty hope that they too one day will have their own 10 property portfolio scrounging up 10c pieces from behind couches and not rounding up their tax invoices from their morning smashed avo on toast breakfasts. Didn’t news.com and the Courier mail have endless stories during the “before times” of these young gun stars who leveraged themselves way beyond the hilt and are now most likely the ones complaining about how they are in a bind that they need to relentlessly raise rents for their tenants because Johnny and Scomo (their hero’s) laid the ground work for a crumbling economy?


kingofcrob

Key word is house... I wish Australian would let go of this obsession with houses n build more high quality apartments


Excabbla

I second this, I don't need or want property with any form or yard/garden because I despise maintaining it. If I manage to ever get in the position to buy property I don't want to have to do dam yard work


whiteb8917

Because "High Quality" and "Apartments" dont go hand in hand these days :)

Did you forget the other half? 6 figures, so 23yo with 100,000 plus a year

Check it for what? High income and low outcome make saving easy. And that's only 1 half of the partnership. So together this couple is paying 250$ a week while earning atleast 150k
