text: Earlier this week on TikTok, a now-viral video stopped me in my tracks.
  As in... completely down the middle.
  Watch: 4 money hacks that don't cut out your daily cup of coffee. Post continues after video.
  The 25-year-old, who now lives in New York City, says she has two incomes — one through freelance content creation and influencing, and the other from working at an "invite-only subletting platform and social club".
  And for every dollar she makes on the social media side, 50 cents of it goes to her housemate and best friend.
  "My best friend gets half of my salary and people think it's so strange," she said. "Essentially how it works is I get paid a salary and obviously if I do any influencer work and get payment for that, I give 50 per cent of it to my housemate/best friend."
  Caitlin said the same goes for her best mate, who gives her half of everything she makes in content creation as well.
  "We've actually been sharing our finances for over a year now and all of our friends think it's so f**king weird," she explained. "How it works is imagine you get paid $100 and someone else gets paid $180. That $280 gets pooled into our joint bank account and then out of that, it's split 50/50 so [we] can go spend it on whatever you want.
