I wouldn't count on it, my wife has been trying to the best of her abilities and at the limit of our financial reach...it's been 10 years so far, 20k on insta and recently picked up YouTube which was now getting close to getting paid pennies...but not anymore it seems.

You either have to get lucky or have the funds and means to keep pushing yourself into the system until you trip over success.

My wife had a single sponsor which paid her €20 per month but being sponsored by them led to her followers expecting her to behave like customer support 24/7.

She now has this co-op with a printer resin company where she gets a percentage of each sale...she made zero in the past 10 months of pushing the product.

At least she's happy for being able to share her interest and hobby with a fuckload of other people.

    No I was being a dick you dumb sealant.

    You can't really believe I'll be posting a friend's private bank statement online to prove some silly argument with a idiotic stranger online that's actively trying to run away from the possibility of being proven wrong in an argument.

    Go bother your family and stop replying to me.

    My local supermarket has a lot of fresh cake in stock, usually half of the display is 40% off because of the expiration date is "today" or some goof held the box at a silly angle causing a visually ruined cake.

    I'll happily snack away on the poor whip cream squashed sugary treat. Especially when it's super cheap.

    No they need a second wage to pay the bills.

    As a result of that the need for daycare arises, then that daycare gobbled up that ENTIRE wage in my country.

    It does not work. It costs too much. No matter how much you justify the cost from the business point of view.

    I'll explain it slowly, parents need a second wage to pay the bills as a result of this their kid gets put in daycare which they rather didn't.

    But then that daycare eats up that entire wage, leaving the parents in the same spot financially but now without time or energy.

    This is a beautiful piece of art, I like how not having a truck didn't make you useless.

    I'm not American we're not big on trucks here, unless you're an independent contractor they do have trucks even though they don't really fit our country haha.

    But if someone needs help to move something and you can't supply the car, you're instantly considered useless and never involved in anything from that moment on. Doesn't even matter if you can move the whole couch by yourself.

    You're excluded. It's a peaceful life, but it gets lonely at times.
