if I had the ability to just completely pay off my mortgage, I\u2019d most definitely wipe that shit out too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But it sucks that she has to endure such abuse from the peanut gallery, just because she happened to have gotten the right combination of finding a working formula, luck in gaining exposure, and the appeal to get lucrative sponsorships and means to make the copious amounts of money needed to afford the lifestyle.\u00a0 Because I\u2019d wager my house that anyone who flung bile at her, if they were in her position, they\u2019d most definitely be buying real estate and doing exactly what she did too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The fact that she felt the need to apologize was completely unnecessary and I don\u2019t think she owes anyone an apology for being successful.\u00a0 And I\u2019m spending a lot more time white knighting for this kid than I thought I would deem necessary, but the point is, this is a scenario where The Internet sometimes makes the wrong choices of picking people to vilify, and picking on an influencer just because the majority of the people wish they could have her success, is one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Now wait for her adventures as the world of homeownership comes closing in on her.\u00a0 Home repairs, being responsible for fucking everything in the house, taxes, homeowner associations or any of the niggling things about homeownership that often makes us sometimes go \u201cI understand the appeal of renting,\u201d begins.\u00a0 That can be the content insufferable anons can get up on their high horses about instead, but those who have already taken first swings, are already playing from behind.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d find a way to organically work this Keyboard Warriors logo I made into a post, and would have to dedicate an entire post to it, but sometimes the internet provideths The skinny: 21-year old TikTok influencer makes posts about purchasing a home free and clear, The Internet responds with venom, resulting &hellip;
