Just a couple of months ago, Rae, a mum-of-two from the UK, was working in a care home, where she had been employed for five years.
But now, she is self-employed and is attempting to earn a living through social media.
In one of her recent clips, she filmed herself preparing her partner's lunch, as she said: 'I charge my partner £10 a day to make his lunch for work.'
Following this, she added: 'If he's gonna go and spend £10 at McDonald's, Greggs, wherever it may be, and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?'
Rae recognised that not everyone will agree, but she isn't bothered, as she continued: 'It does seem to be a bit of a controversial topic, but it makes sense to me.
'Let's be honest, nothing in life comes free anymore, not even a paper bag - so if you're happy to go and pay the woman in Greggs for your lunch, then pay the woman that you love for your lunch, that way everyone's happy.'
Not only this, but she also set the record straight and confirmed: 'He's fed and happy, and I'm paid and happy.'
For Rae's partner's most recent lunch, she made him a peri peri chicken salad, which she served alongside cheesy coleslaw and two boiled eggs.
She also gave her 'fuss pot' partner a cereal bar, a chocolate bar and two cans of Tango.
Later in the clip, Rae confirmed that her man 'approved' of his packed lunch.
I'm a 'bad mum' but people are reporting me to welfare for feeding my kids junk - they mostly get fed at school anyway
Not only was he impressed, but he even described the tasty meal as 'absolutely beautiful.'
Big divide
But Rae's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ raeroberts.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 229,800 views in just two days.
Not only this, but it's also amassed 7,444 likes, 65 comments and 474 saves.
Social media users were left totally divided by Rae's actions - while some thought it was a fabulous idea to make an extra income off of her partner, others thought it was 'cheeky' and 'backwards.'
Charging him?! He should kick you out
TikTok user
One user shared: 'Great idea.'
A second chimed in: 'Love this.'
Whilst someone else penned: 'From today onwards I'll be charging.'
But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one person said: 'But if you love your man, you wouldn't charge him £10.'
Another added: 'Backwards mentality.'
To this, Rae wrote back and claimed: 'Backwards mentality is men expecting everything done for them when they're grown.'
A third commented: 'Charging him?! He should kick you out.'
Eager to clap back and prove the hater wrong, the savvy mum responded: 'Kick me out of a house that's equally both of ours, yeahhhh.'
Meanwhile, another gasped: 'I think that's a bit cheeky, £10 a day, a joke.'
