«Breaking News» Twitter users mock millennial entrepreneur, 22, on $25K a month who avoids Ubers

Twitter users have mocked the money diary of a millennial entrepreneur who won't spend $6 on an Uber despite earning $25,000 a month.

Writing for Refinery29, the anonymous 22 year old, who lives in New York with two roommates, revealed she runs an e-commerce store that sells handbags manufactured in China across the globe.

Despite being able to put $20,000 into her savings account every month - in a city where the average monthly salary is a fifth of that - she insists she's not a 'baller'. The entrepreneur lives in a shared apartment, for which she pays $1,207 a month in rent, and regularly finds ways to cut costs in her day-to-day life.

The handbag designer, who revealed she has already made 'more than $600,000 in revenue this year' at the time of writing her diary, admitted that her frugal lifestyle wasn't due to a lack of desire to spend, even confessing that she puts such a large sum into her savings account every month so 'I never feel too flush and accidentally buy a Chanel bag'.

Her frugal spending habits in spite of her huge monthly salary have been questioned by many

But despite being fortunate enough to enjoy such financial comfort, the woman is constantly looking for ways to cut back on her spending - and her frugal approach has left social media users baffled, with many questioning why someone earning so much would still choose to share a rented apartment, and scrimp on daily costs.

At one point in the money diary, which details her spending over a week-long period, she reveals that she has been hunting for bikinis from budget retailer Zaful, and opted to buy a $15.99 piece from the brand, instead of perusing some of the many high-priced designer labels she could easily afford.   

Even when she does allow herself to splurge on a designer item, she buys it from a 'pre-loved' website, spending $707 on a Celine tote bag that would have cost 'around $1,900' had she bought it new. 

'I know I can sell it for at least $1,200 on Poshmark or eBay if I ever tire of it and make some easy money!' she adds.

The businesswoman also decides against a $300 in-salon hair treatment because she discovered on Google that she is able to buy the product used in the treatment from Sephora for just $28, and regularly opts to take public transport instead of Ubers - even when they cost as little as $6. 

On day five, she writes that she spent the morning 'Googling ways to save on taxes', while eating a Cuban sandwich that she had purchased earlier in the morning - after taking a bus back to Manhattan from her boyfriend's home in New Jersey. 

'I am seriously [considering] moving to Miami to save on taxes,' she says. 'My BFF said the Cuban sandwiches there are better anyway....  

'Check Uber — it's $6 to go home and I ain't a baller, so I take the subway home.' 

The woman's very regulated spending habits have sparked serious debate online, as readers of the diary question why someone who makes so much money would choose to restrict her finances so much. 

Myla Marcia wrote: 'I'm confused as to how she makes this much money and can afford Chloë bags but doesn't wanna pay $6 for Uber.'

Cat added: 'Why would you live with two roommates when you can afford to live by yourself??'

Amelia Costa even called out the woman's choice of Netflix subscription, pointing out that she opts for the cheapest package available. 

'I am in no position to judge other people's financial decisions but this woman saves $20,000 a month and is still paying for Netflix in standard def,' she joked. 

Others lamented their own financial situations, with one simply saying 'God, I'm poor'

Others have been left baffled by her eating habits, which see her buying burritos, pizza, and candy, while simultaneously claiming she has been a 'healthy living influencer of sorts on Instagram since high school'.

Mish Mosh said: 'She says she’s a healthy living influencer of sorts... but her lifestyle is not “healthy” at least food wise..I’m confused. 

'And unless she’s super frugal, her “spending” is suspect. But if this is true, GOOD FOR HER! '

Chris Edward added: 'Day 3: 4pm: "I have been a healthy living influencer of sorts on Instagram" Eats nothing but burritos, pizza, brie melted over pasta, McDonald's, and cookies... 

'Unless she takes a bite, chews and then spits it back up, this woman eats worse than I do...'

Some Twitter users simply shared their despair at the size of their own pay packets.

Nancy-Elizabeth said: 'God, I'm poor.'

Esra added: 'Thank you, now i truly realize how i will never have my life together.' 

Rebecca Fishbein added: 'Somehow I am MOST annoyed that she is incredibly responsible with this money because it makes me less able to hate her/reminds me that I need to stop buying jeans every time I get more than $400 for a story.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
