Single-mum-of-two Lucy Banks is about to collect the keys on her brand-new home, purchased with her OnlyFans earnings.
The 31-year-old is in the top 0.33% of OnlyFans creators, earning up to $3000 a day creating content for her dedicated fan base on the adults-only subscription service.
A few years ago, as a struggling single parent of two children, it was a very different story. Caught in an impossible situation, Lucy turned to OnlyFans. "OnlyFans is a platform that can be operated from your phone. You don't have to leave the house. You can set your own prices, and your own hours. For single mums who are juggling kids, this is a really smart option."
These school holidays, rather than juggling childcare and full-time, office-based employment, like many parents, Lucy will be transforming her newly purchased property into a family forever home, with the help of her kids.
"We'll be spending the school holidays painting their rooms and planning our renovations. The kids want to re-tile the bathroom with a Minecraft theme, but I'm leaning more towards subway tiles," she laughs.
For Lucy, the dream of owning her own home always seemed out of reach, especially after she became a single mother. Today, Lucy has not only purchased her own family home, she is also planning on buying an investment property in the first half of 2022.
"I've been wanting to buy a house since I was 19. There is no way I would have been able to single-handedly save for a house while juggling full financial responsibilities for two kids, if I didn't have OnlyFans income," she says.
"I want to be smart with my earnings to set us up long-term," Lucy continues. "I'm not driven by money, but I am driven by stability. My little family and I have moved 5 times within 3 years, and now we won't have to do that anymore."
