She’s constantly pushing the narrative that she didn’t get any parental handouts. But she lived with her parents until she and Josh moved in together. And how was she already in a salaried position at 16?
That is exactly what I thought!
She obviously sees the fact that she worked instead of attending university as meaning she hustled harder than anyone and somehow earned her way more than others.
Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with choosing to not go to university, nor am I saying it would be wrong for her to live with her parents. BUT she doesn’t seem to realize that in bragging about her full salary, she reveals she was pocketing those paycheques while also living rent free with her parents and not paying the usual expenses that come with independent living. (Now I’m sure we’ll get another story claiming she also paid her parents rent lolol). That is a huge privilege to be able to earn money and just save it. Which sure, go ahead and save your money. But that IS the same as receiving “help” from your parents!
In setting herself apart from others by making herself seem like such a hustler, she doesn’t acknowledge that many students at that age are either studying full time OR many are paying any money from PT jobs towards their degree and other expenses. Once they are finished their degree, it’s only then they can try to enter the full time workforce. And at that point not many people fall into YouTube as she did, they start from the bottom trying to earn their way.
I think she’s very narcissistic and is insecure about the fact that she knows she’s very average. Her story is just that she was working a random job after finishing school and like many of her peers was lucky to start YT at the right time... but she has to make it some noble story of entrepreneurship and fortitude. She just comes off so badly IMO and so so so self absorbed.
