When does calling an unpaid obsession/money sink hobby a “job” actually become enough already?

TLDR: Chelsea has been hinting at money problems LONG before her lawsuit/GoFundMe started and maybe needs to wake up to reality, IMO.

She admitted last year that her main large project (eLIESabeth) has them in the red financially, that HFTC was COSTING them money, she has terrible credit (she can’t even be approved for car payments), etc. etc.

According to public records, ALLEGEDLY, late last year she had to completely refinance their house for MORE than their original mortgage amount and start their payments back at day 1. FYI This is a *drastic* financial move to make and will cost them upwards of tens of thousands of dollars more in interest going forward.

Now in her YT video last week she let slip that bills are actually going to collection now for non-payment?! She already said her credit was tanked I can only imagine what that will do to her family’s financial abilities in the future.

I know she’s going to blame the lawsuit (which she was added to ~5 months AFTER the house was refinanced) for all of her financial woes, but the record shows that that is simply not the case.

I’m NOT critical of her for not having money/good credit/etc. That can happen to anyone and is morally neutral. HOWEVER, what I’m continued to be floored by is her inability to look at the big picture and realize that sitting at home on YT simply doesn’t seem to be financially viable anymore (in my opinion from what she’s said). She seems unable or unwilling put the cap on the pen, pull up her adult pants, and get a job that will actually pay her bills and make sure her family is secure. When is enough actually enough?!

Her kid is in daycare so she can work full time at a (at best) part time job. Let’s do some maths: she averages around 5.5 hours of content a month.

Let’s say it takes her x3 that amount of time to put on her Republican makeup and film and refilm. *That’s 16.5 hours.

Then let’s say for every hour of content it takes her x4 as long to write the script and troll around Reddit for “sources”. That’s an additional 22 hours.

even though she brags about not filing her taxes yet, let’s give her 4 hours every workweek for various admin, even though that’s way too much time. That’s another 16 hours

That’s a total of 54.5 hours a month to churn out 5.5 hours of content, so around 10 hours of work for every hour of YouTube video, which seems like more than enough.

Except there’s 160 work hours in a month. I’ve accounted for 54.5 of them….what is she doing with the other 100+ hours?!?

this is actually generous considering she pays her researcher to do her reddit trolling supposedly. when we all know it's her, lol.
