The rising cost of living in Canada, particularly in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, is making it difficult for many immigrants, especially those from punjab and haryana in northern India, to keep up with rising housing, grocery, and utility costs. As a result, in an increasingly difficult economy, some people are looking into unusual ways to make ends meet.

Creative response to financial struggles
Monique Jeremiah, a 37-year-old Canadian woman who experienced financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic, is the subject of one story that has recently garnered public notice.  Monique had to come up with creative ways to make ends meet after being left alone following a split and experiencing an unexpected loss of income.  Her answer was to rent out one side of her bed to random people, a trend that is currently trending on the internet. 

The rise of 'Hot Bedding' as a side hustle
The practice, known as "hot bedding," entails two unconnected people sharing a bed, typically with explicit agreements or rotating schedules.  Monique was shocked by the strong demand once she started marketing her communal sleeping area at a reasonable nightly charge.  This side project developed into a substantial source of revenue over time, allegedly assisting her in making up to $50,000 per month at its height.
 
Monique emphasized that the arrangement had explicit boundaries: all engagement, including hugging, had to be mutually agreed upon, and there was no requirement for physical contact.  Her candor about the experience has sparked intense discussion; some have criticized it for raising privacy and safety issues, while others have applauded the creativity and even revealed their own comparable endeavors.
