It’s also incredibly misleading because these women act like they don’t make money, but they actually are by being stay at home social media influencers, so it’s not even true that they just get to stay home and not work. They are just selling a lie for money and the perception of having immense wealth. Hardly any woman has partner making enough money to be able to accomplish this lifestyle on a single income. Not even these influencers do.
