An intern describing her commute to work has gone viral on tiktok. Sophia Celentano has found a smart way to save money by flying to work rather than renting nearby.
She would rather fly than rent nearby because of the cost. She has to go in one day a week to the office and works remotely the rest of the week.
She is a South Carolina resident and takes a weekly flight from Charleston to Newark for her summer internship and it's cost-effective.
She gets up at 3 am to catch her round trip and in the video documenting her trip says, "Why I take a plane to work".
She said it was cheaper for her to live with her parents and fly in once a week than pay rent for somewhere closer. She describes it as an untraditional thing to do but it works for her.
Netizens don't agree and the questions are endless about how she is doing things, especially the time she gets home to sleep.
She said that instead of paying “$3,400 + a month for rent, I book a $100 round-trip flight on the one day a week I work in-person” as a corporate marketing intern.
The 21-year-old claimed in the TikTok video that there are others who do the same. The company she works for is Ogilvy Health which asks interns to spend typically one day each week in the New Jersey office.
She saves money by taking flights on Spirit, a carrier noted for its incredibly low prices.
She claimed the expense runs her roughly $100 a week, in addition to an additional $100 for Uber rides to and from the airport and an additional $25 for lunch.
She will spend $2,250 on travel expenses for her 10-week internship. She claimed she saves at least $2,000 by doing this. VIDEO BELOW;
