Emily Webb, 25, explained that she ended up living out of her car over the summer on Australia’s Gold Coast, an experience that pushed her to think outside the box.
The 25-year-old TikToker, who has a following of 65,000, told her audience how she had been sleeping on friends’ sofas. But she came up with another approach that would let her stay with others without feeling like she was over-relying on friends.
Emily shared that she has had a tough time finding a stable home, even after offering to pay up to a year’s rent upfront to secure a place.
Her income comes from her work on OnlyFans and her growing Instagram, where she has nearly 170,000 followers.
Even so, Emily wasn’t overly stressed about her situation. She had another method in mind that would help her find temporary places to stay until she could secure something more permanent.
Her approach involved using the dating app Hinge to meet men and then staying at their apartments for a few days before moving on to someone else.
The OnlyFans creator explained that not paying her AU $1,000 weekly rent allowed her to save quite a bit of money, adding: “It is good not paying rent. The places I’m looking at are around $1,000 a week, and I’m saving so much.”
But not everyone was supportive, with some viewers quickly criticizing her in the comments section on TikTok. One person commented: “You are sending all the wrong messages to viewers stop sponging off people!” while another warned: “This is a very dangerous game you’re playing…”
Another user concluded: “I’ve seen a few of these videos and I’ve come to the conclusion this is satire lol.”
In September, she shared a story-time video about her trip to Bali, where her “two boyfriends” ended up discovering each other’s existence.
In her more recent TikToks, she seems to be filming from the same apartment regularly, which suggests she may have found a more stable place to call home.
Although Emily managed to get through her “homeless era” in one piece, her approach is one people should think carefully about before considering.
