RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I grew up in Guatemala. You might know its one of the most unequal countries in the world - you're either in the rich class or poor.

I don't have a degree, don't have professional level skills or business skills. I worked for everything I had, never had much money. But nothing too bad - usually had enough food.

Two years ago I met a gringa in a tourist spot. I'm good with girls and we ended up sleeping together that night. We are both in out mid-30s.

Then I found out she's married. Married tourist looking for some cock on vacation - old story.

She has a rich husband and three children. I think she is from a rich family and her husband is also from a rich family, so between them it's double-rich. She mentioned having "oil rights", she mentioned multiple homes (I think over 20 rental properties).

Since then, I have done little bits of social media work for her businesses - it is easy work anyone could do, just running the company's facebook page and stuff. Plus we see each other in the Caribbean/Latin America and sleeping together for a week here and there. Since two years. She started saying "I love you" six months ago.

One time she said, "something something.... because you've already made your money...". I didn't let my reaction show. She assumed I was in her social class!. Just because people assume their life is the normal life. It feels normal to her to have multiple houses and a million a year in passive income (or whatever number), she thinks everyone she meets is probably like that.

Now she is starting a business, has almost finished investor funding. I let her keep thinking I am rich, and I asked for a big salary for my social media role. She is offering me more money than anyone in my village ever had, plus a percentage of the company. If the company works, it could be millions of dollars. I have seen the contract now, and with luck we will sign in one or two months. I can't fuck it up now.

Yes this is a sin because it is adultery. But I have the opportunity on a plate. The only thing I've ever been good at and I can use it to climb the social ladder.

I could blackmail her if I need to, but I don't want to.

Once the contract is signed, everything will be in the bag. That is only a month or two away.

This could make me hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe a million?). If I worked as a gigolo, I would not get that in 20 years.

Welcome to reality, where happening to know the right person can be more valuable than a lifetime of hard work.

Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I'd delete this. Delete any texts I had sent about this. Delete any emails. Tell my friends never to bring it up again. If she finds out? Whoof.

Yeah lol, good idea.

Go get that bag, absolute masterclass. If a rich person wants to give you money you should absolutely take it.

Sex on the side is a very nice bonus.

just want to say, brilliant work. you deserve whatever you get!

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Damn. Can't say I'm not jealous now, but you go man. Get the bag! She might as well share a bit, lol.

I have to say, this is normal. The public image of a company used to be the responsibility of someone highly trusted who directly managed it. Now it's unknown departments, with underpaid faceless people, who aren't really responsible for anything individually and can be blamed for everything.

If you don't want to climb the capitalist ladder, there's always the option to ditch morals and take the elevator.

The only way to get to the top for real

There are millions of people who are making $100K/year in the USA. (In some states that isn’t even a living wage) The top is so far above that they are making millions per hour.
