I feel like I did everything I was supposed to. I worked really hard, got into a top university, climbed my way up the corporate ladder and STILL it is not enough to live comfortably by myself in NYC without spending 50% of my income on rent and its like I can't even buy a house despite the fact that 1. I never eat avocado toast or drink starbucks 2. I have no student debt 3. I have been saving super aggressively the past few years...Its like I will literally be 35 by the time I have enough for a down payment for a shoebox sized apartment in Manhattan.

It all feels a little fucked up like...I spent so much of my life dedicating myself to a faceless corporation just to have them spit me out so okay I find myself a new job with nearly a 35% bump. Shit I make more than twice what I did when I first joined the workforce but still not enough. It was enough to have a cute little studio precovid but now with inflation and landlords raising prices 40%, its like well back to square one with roommates. Capitalism is so fucked.

I know some onlyfans gays who make a shit ton of money from OF...and yes I know some of them are living it up on IG bc of credit card debt and sugar daddies idc. Like I am seriously considering starting one. Any advice on how to build your following or get started? Bc inflation and housing prices is going up faster than I can find new jobs/get promotions. I feel like I am drowning in NYC
