Hi, I'm Melanie.
Blogger on financial independence, former employee, now self-determined. I write about the way I live.
Who I am
I'm 31 years old, I live in Vienna, and four years ago I quit my regular office job to shape my own life – financially independent, with no fixed boss and no rigid working hours. An important building block on that path was sugar dating, which I now write about quite openly.
Geld-verdienen-ohne-Arbeit.at is about a question many women ask themselves but rarely say out loud: how do I become financially independent without forcing myself into a traditional employment relationship? Sugar dating is only one of several routes I write about – but it is the one that made the biggest difference for me personally.
How it all began
After years as an employee in which I never felt truly free financially despite a good education, I came across the topic of sugar dating for the first time through a colleague. I was skeptical, then curious – and in the end convinced. Not because it was only about money, but because for the first time I could talk openly about my financial wishes and expectations without having to justify myself.
That experience completely changed how I see work, money and self-determination. And I want to pass it on, because back then I would have wanted someone to tell me honestly which paths really exist beyond the classic 9-to-5.
What you'll find here
I write every article from a first-person perspective, with my own experiences and concrete tips. Not a generic "get rich without working" guide, but honest content about how financial independence beyond a traditional job really works – including sugar dating as one realistic option among several.
