Let's be honest, sometimes it's really easy to assume another person leads an easier life than us.

When they appear to be making more money than us, or we think they're prettier than we are, we might even become jealous about the life that they lead.

And TikTok was having a really hard time keeping their jealous feelings at bay when Nina, @ninageruntho on TikTok, started posting about her life as a "Bottle Girl" at a party venue in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In her latest video, Nina shared her first experience working in the pool area of the club, which also appeared to be the VIP section of the bar, which typically requires a minimum expenditure and gratuity in order to enter the area.

You can watch the video here:

But what becomes clear from watching the video is viewers weren't necessarily envious of Nina's job, though it looked like a really fun time for everyone.

Rather, they were in awe of the size of the tips Nina was able to receive, including one in which her customers spent $9,291.55 throughout the night and then tipped her an additional $1,800. Another table spent $10,855.14 before tipping her an additional $3,000.

Though it was unclear whether she had to split her tips or not, Nina had made $4,800 from tips alone, at only two tables.

In most of the service industry, quality tips are difficult to come by, and the amount Nina made from two tables could easily take several months to duplicate in a restaurant chain.

Some joked they were absolutely working in the wrong industry.

Others seemed to genuinely wonder how someone got started as a Bottle Girl.

A few were more focused on the girl who clearly wasn't happy she wasn't the one to work the pool area.

Though making a living and building savings is hard, it's still refreshing to see someone who is able to be financially comfortable.

But while we can be happy for Nina, we can all admit we secretly wish it was happening for us, too... and maybe consider changing our career path.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

When we think of the library, we think of books awaiting us on the shelves—but the New Berlin Public Library in Wisconsin is here to remind us that public libraries contain so much more.

This library in particular contains a "Library of Things," in which the public can access otherwise expensive items for free, like boardgames, learning resources, and even Halloween costumes.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.

As the internet evolved, certain social media accounts became known for providing wholesome, feel good content, like I Can Has Cheezburger?, The Dodo, and We Rate Dogs. Unsurprisingly, all three focus primarily on animals, offering amusing or heartfelt stories, videos, and memes as an escape from the trials and tribulations of daily life.

But the folks at We Rate Dogs recently took a departure from their usual content.
