AFTER years of working as a flight attendant and constantly having to make sacrifices to save cash, Alanna Pow has now totally turned her life around.
Sick of working long hours and putting her social life on hold, , 21, finally took the plunge and quit her job - and now makes five figures a month.
Not only this, but the young beauty has even landed her first property - a dream that once seemed out of reach.
The Australian bombshell revealed how her unique and "spicy” side hustle allowed her to take control of her finances, and secure herself a brighter future.
While soaring the skies for two and a half years, Alanna strictly saved her flight attendant salary.
But despite her dedication, the tattooed youngster found herself faced with the harsh reality of Australia's competitive property market.
Although she was “doing everything right”, she claimed that the “numbers just weren’t adding up.”
As a result, she realised that if she wanted to grow her property portfolio whilst still being able to enjoy her life, she would need to think "outside the box”.
Subsequently, in 2023, Alanna made the bold decision to become an adult content creator.
She quickly found success and now, she shares a mix of bikini snaps and exclusive content with her growing fan base.
As a result, the curvy bombshell, who has over 74,000 followers on Instagram, earns five figures every month and has managed to transform her financial situation almost overnight.
Whilst being a flight attendant was her dream, she told the all on why she decided to walk away from the role.
She said: “It was just getting too much - all the gossip and the rumours. My management [were] always calling me in for meetings.
"I had three letters of allegation against me and always felt picked on. If there was a line up of people for uniform checks, I was always the one that got pulled up, even if everyone else's weren't up to standard.
"It was always just me. It might have been my Instagram posts, but it just seemed like they did not like me.”
But after a year into flying, Alanna's bank account was looking low, and she had a mortgage to pay.
As a result, she ended up having to get a second job, in retail, and was working every single day to make ends meet.
It’s turned my world upside down in a good way

Eventually, she decided to ditch the retail stint and started a saucy page online.
Alanna admitted she set up the page "secretly", sending responses with the link to it to people in her DMs.
The 21-year-old said she was born with a thick, curvy body which men "love", so she was able to fit right in, as she confessed: "It’s turned my world upside down in a good way.
Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income.
Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024.
Those aged 24-42 aren’t far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income.
Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one.
Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way.
"I never thought I’d be able to say, 'Oh, maybe I can actually pay my mortgage off in a few years', instead of it being a 30-year loan, which is insane.
"Like, my mum is still paying off her mortgage, and she’s around 60, and the fact that I could do it sooner is just insane. I’m so grateful. I can travel when I need to - like when I had to go to Turkey.”
It was insanely expensive, but worth it. The fact that I could even do that was insane. I feel so lucky
Alanna Pow
As a result of her hefty income, not only has she had a nose job and a BBL, but she also splashes thousands of pounds on business class flights.
She continued: "I was dying after my nose job and BBL, lying in my hospital bed and I was like 'I’m not flying economy home'.
“So, I literally went on my laptop and booked a $6,000 (£3,101.57) business class seat.
"It was insanely expensive, but worth it. The fact that I could even do that was insane. I feel so lucky."
