This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.
Arguably, there’s a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn’t seem like one.

Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative

Fucking trust fund babies.
im so happy that i was blessed with parents who never struggled with money. nothing wrong with that. and yea, im hella vibing in life jobless <3
Found the trust fund trustafarian 😂
i have no idea what that means but ok
You’ll be able to go through life saying that a lot. Eventually, the only thing you’ll fear is when that might end.
For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)
thank you, im always open about my privilege. but theres always gonna be wage cucks who shit on people like me lmao
Try not calling them ‘wage cucks’ and you may get shat on less.
nah they can shit on me all they want, it makes me laugh
Why are you even here?
just to suffer
I guess. I’m trying to imagine a world where I could consider that suffering. :p
Congratulations on your detachment from reality.
fuck reality
Fuck leeches.
mald harder ✨
Nah, I’m not mad, just disappointed. You’re disappointing.
Don’t you know you need self value from being a slave. Chase fake paper money like a good gerbil. Our slave morality tells us you are not a good person like us unless you do what we do.
im a bad gerbil~
The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
You guys don’t have a welfare system?
Can’t afford to have good vibes. Money brings you happiness and prettier partners.

That chick is annoying. I think I’ve blocked five or six video different clone accounts to stop getting her videos on the reels feed.
Just skimmed through the thread and its filled with strawmen or plain misunderstanding.
Nobody is criticizing someone for having rich parents, even if said parents got that money from exploitation, heck even slavery.
No the criticism is that someone rich, thanks to their parents rather than their own effort, is promoting a way to reach such a position in life by replicating a path that is not real. If you have rich parents and you promote “making stuff” or writing a book, which you actually did yet never meaningfully contributing to the lifestyle you are promoting, you are basically dishonest.
TL;DR: nobody cares about that specific person or that situation, we are just tired of lies sold for profit.
Tbh, that’s not true. If your standards are low enough, you can get by with very little money.
When I was at university (10 years ago) I could get by with 5-10h of work per week. I had a single-room flat and no car, a 10yo laptop, a cheapo second-hand phone and ate cheap food. The total amount of assistance that I received from my parents were birthday and christmas presents with a total worth of €700 over 5 years.
Now I have a larger flat, a wife, two kids and a car. Now I need much more money.
Of course, neither the cost nor the lifestyle are comparable.
i sincerely doubt you could afford to live on barely part time work 10 years ago, which would be 2015, unless you were massively subsidized by unemployment, an angel investor, or you were a squatter
Neither nor.
I paid €350 for my flat and made €25/h doing tutoring. I had a monthly budget of €800 in 2015 and that was enough.
I never received unemployment benefits and why on earth would someone invest in a random student?
I think you just got extremely lucky, and it’s not exactly transferrable to most others especially today.
I don’t think that surviving on €800/month is extremely lucky. I know quite a few other people who also did that. I also know quite a few other people who just stayed with their parents during university so they didn’t have to work at all.
Being able to live on 800€ a month isn’t that hard if you’re in a lower COL area, like a smaller town.
What’s hard is making those 800€ while working 10 hours a week. I checked the tutoring prices in an area like that (my small central European hometown) and the only people charging 20+ eur per hour were people with decades of experience.
It’s not that difficult. First, you need to start with the right subjects: Maths with English on the side. Maths alone is usually enough, but English is a good side for slow times of the year.
Then get into an agency that does tutoring at home and employs you as self employed. The don’t pay that much, but their clients pay a lot. In my area, they paid €19 for 1.5h to the tutors, but the clients had to pay €65.
So after the pre-paid package that they booked was done, I took them on as direct clients for €40-50/1.5h. Together with the travel time (I used public transport and had the flatrate subscription) that came out at roughly €20/h. And since I was a student at the time, I used the travel time to study, so it wasn’t really wasted time either.
(The big advantage of these agencies is that their high prices prefilter the clients, so that only wealthy people use these services, and if they got a decent tutor for their kids, they are willing to pay a lot for that. Also, it’s super easy to get into these agencies. They are always looking for tutors and their tutor screening is incredibly easy to pass. If you managed to finish school, you’ll have no trouble getting into one of these agencies.)
When I was a bit futher into my university course, I switched over to freelancing as a software developer and made €40/h, working from home.
Yeah, I guess if you live in a place where people can afford 65 eur per hour for tutoring but also has 800 eur studios it works.
