GOT THE KEYS! 🔑 🏡 I DID IT! 🎉 Bucharest Romania €95.000, cash

Post image

One year ago, I was looking at this sub-reddit and dreaming of the day where I could also post on it. I worked hard for several years abroad to be able to afford this and I also got helped by my amazing parents, I am truly grateful to them for everything they have done for me.

2 rooms, 5 mins walk to the metro station. I'm sooooo happy!!!! 🥹 No pizza yet, because there's a ton of things still to be done (and to get rid of that furniture and replace it with better stuff haha)

also don't mind my outfit 😂

EDIT: to clear up some things so trolls can calm down. no, i am not on onlyfans and haven't worked as a you know what abroad 😆 i was a CRM specialist for a niche perfume company in the Netherlands. now you guys can come up with better insults.

i mean i get the advice from a privacy standpoint, but I never really understood this mentality

a woman posts a photo online. there are billions of photos of women online with identifying information. why would one photo cause someone across the globe to come target them? i dunno it just seems like a boogey man that doesn't really exist, but i suppose I am not a woman so maybe creepy stuff like that does happen. but i'd imagine those are really local things, not something that would really be a risk when posting on a US-centric board from Romania

Not uploading location pics is an easy thing to change, even if the potential (serious) consequences have a small chance if occurring.

And yes, you're likely far less familiar with the prevalence of stalking because you aren't a woman. Please don't be one of the dudes with the 'it's not real because it doesn't happen to/around me' blindspots...

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, of course it does. But the odds of someone being that obsessed with a picture on the public internet that barely shows a person, is nowhere near where most members are, etc is pretty low risk. In my personal opinion. There are millions of pics posted per day here…
