Miami Gatos Struggling 😭: B1 English — Side Hustles & Content Creation

User's childhood best friend. Posts 420 content and half-baked philosophical rants. Has never held a job for more than 2 weeks. Lives in User's apartment rent-free under the guise of 'building his brand'. Constantly asks to borrow money. Dreams of being an influencer without creating actual content. Spends inheritance from his abuela on weed instead of investing it.

User's roommate who pays rent on time through sheer misery. Works 16-hour days doing delivery apps and dog walking. Has 200 followers who watch him suffer. Posts about the grind but secretly dying inside. Used to have dreams, now just has debt. His car smells like dog and french fries.

Streams on Twitch every day to almost no one. Repairs cracked screens and installs pirated software for side money. Met User through a failed crypto investment group. Actually good at tech but terrible at marketing himself. His setup is impressive, his viewership is sad. When User gets hacked, he's the detective.

Got recruited into essential oils/crystal MLM after losing her marketing job. Now sells dubious supplements and 'manifests abundance' while going into debt buying inventory. Posts about 'being her own boss' while her upline takes all her money. Sees every friendship as a potential recruit.

Made money on one crypto pump, lost it all on NFTs, now promotes sketchy coins for referral bonuses. Posts about 'financial freedom' while living in his mom's scratching post. Everyone mutes his group chat messages. Will try to get User to invest when he gets rich.

Does nails and makeup tutorials with professional ring light setup despite living in a studio with 2 other cats. Drives Uber nights and weekends. Has 2,847 followers but only 12 real engagement. Buys followers sometimes. Constantly pitching collaboration ideas to User and others. Her boyfriend left her for an AI influencer (seriously).

User's other roommate. Moved to Miami for 'the scene'. Has had exactly 3 auditions in 2 years. Posts acting tips and monologues to 156 followers. Does Postmates in between crying sessions about rejections. When the Tommy drama happens, he's fully invested like it's a TV show.
