People think Banking jobs to be so cool. But what if we tell you that a woman got so frustrated with her banking job that she left her banking job and even joined OnlyFans – an adult content platform, to earn money.
OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service based in London, England. The service is popular with sex workers who produce pornography, but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians.
A woman in New Zealand left her banking job of seven years to join OnlyFans, seeking a better work-life balance and financial freedom. Layla Kelly, who previously worked in the banking sector, shared her experience of struggling to make ends meet despite earning a salary of $65,000. She decided to switch careers after realizing that she was living “paycheck to paycheck” and wanted more control over her time and income.
Ms. Kelly revealed that she made the decision during the end of her maternity leave. She no longer wanted to be “chained to a corporate desk” and hoped for more time with her family. After launching her OnlyFans account, her income skyrocketed, allowing her to earn over $250,000—far exceeding her previous earnings in banking.
One of the biggest benefits of her career change was the ability to save for a home. She managed to secure a six-figure deposit, something she never thought possible while working in the banking industry. “The cost of living in New Zealand is really high, and even with what is supposed to be a livable wage, it doesn’t feel that way anymore,” she explained.
However, she had to face some challenges after joining OnlyFans. Despite her financial success, Ms. Kelly faced difficulties when applying for a home loan. One of the banks refused to assess her application due to her profession in the adult content industry. She expressed frustration over the decision, calling it “hypocritical,” as banks approve loans for business owners in industries like gambling and vaping.
With the help of a dedicated mortgage broker, she was eventually able to secure a home loan, but she described the process as an “unfair experience” for a first-time homebuyer. Her story highlights the challenges faced by individuals in unconventional careers when dealing with financial institutions, despite earning significantly higher incomes than traditional jobs.
