The cost of living in Canada is increasing. Rent, groceries, and basic necessities are becoming more expensive. Immigrants and residents are resorting to various means to survive.
Thirty-seven-year-old Monique Jeremiah has found a solution to meet her living expenses. It has now sparked discussions across social media. The woman was struggling financially during the COVID lockdown. In the meantime, she split with her partner. She unexpectedly lost her job. With this, she could not pay the rent. That's when an idea came to her head. The woman posted on social media inviting people to share her bed. Her idea was to rent out half of her bed. Surprisingly, her idea soon went viral.
Monique Jeremiah was able to earn up to $50,000 a month through this idea, known as hot bedding. The woman has made it clear that she will only allow touching, such as hugging, if both she and the person she is sharing the bed are fully consenting.
The idea of 'hot bedding' has been met with mixed reactions. Some users have questioned the privacy violations and potential risks, while others have praised the cost-saving solution.
