Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .

I thought Monica just became a real estate agent 2 years ago but she said she has been making $500k for the last 4 years? I'm surprised she even makes $250k from real estate in only 2 years. With only 2 years of experience and no previous network she already shot up to be within the top 1% of real estate agents in the entire country. Something not adding up for me.
@@pamelabetances143 Seems inconsistent with the experience of other TH-camrs that have even more subs like Graham Stephen (said he barely got any leads at all for real estate from his youtube channel), or Erik Conover (had 2 million+ subs went into real estate, then quit because he wasn't making any money). I could believe $250k after establishing a real network of buyers over 10 years, but not only after 2 years. Otherwise, every youtuber with 1 million subs would be a real estate broker on the side if it were that easy.
Houses in Seattle are spendy thus commissions are higher. She showed her checks. I believe her. Why wouldn't she be successful fast? She has a following and a Reputation.
I like the whole overview and the honesty about income, purchases and expenses. As a current 34 years old I cannot relate at all. One month's wages is more than my annual income. I have no chances of owning a property in the UK. It is interesting to know more about others' people lifestyles but it can also be very overwhelming if someone tries to compare themselves to it.
I love how transparent this was- your monthly income is basically what my husband and I make in a year… we might make a little more but it’s crazy to see the lifestyle differences
She’s worth 80-130k tops to me don’t worry I value you and your family more then hers 😂. People that do social media don’t contribute to the world as a blue collar job does.
I’m envious of how much money you make, but I have watched how much you’ve worked for what you have. You also don’t seem to take it for granted how well off you are. Thank you for this transparency :)
Excellent vlog! I appreciate how you ( and Shelby) are so honest about your earnings. I've been watching since 2018 and am loving watching your journey in life! You work hard and I am sure having to do vlogs constantly for years is not easy! ❤❤
@chassisluther3325 I'm self employed it's much better than being at the mercy of an employer, I would never go back. And as for taxes well it's better to hire a pro and save yourself a lot grief.
I have no idea why Monica has anxiety about money she is spending $9,000 a month an bringing in $29,000 a month that is a $20,000 a month surplus. That is a $240,000 a year surplus. I think your debt is giving you anxiety so I would take the surplus and get debt free. You also said that you love golf and play twice a week. A huge money saver would be buying a yearly golf pass.
Aww.. Please don't. Try to see it as an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ it is not the norm, you can be successful with a 20k job a year. It all depends on how you define the term successful for yourself ❤️ success can also be to get out of bed and ready in the morning, depending on your situation in life. Try to see it as a life someone else is living and it's so cool that we all have different lifes. Your life is equal as important and equal as successful. Have a great day ❤️
Don’t compare yes they have worked for what they have but their career changes were supported by a YT platform. Focus on having peace of mind good friends and great memories.
Well done Monica. What a self discovery project this must have been for you, especially doing it after Shelby did. It's nice to be able to count your blessings and see where you are and why you love your life, even if it's not the same as your siblings, I deal with the same thing exactly. I'm a grateful girl too xo
Great video Monica! Appreciate your candor. I always feel like budget videos underestimate expenses. I'm not surprised by your $400 monthly wine cost. That's easily done over the course of a month if you buy 2-3 bottles as well as hit a few happy hours with friends.
My guilty pleasures are books and streaming content. I spent roughly a $100 month on those and I would say they’re worth it. My rent covers all my living needs so I’m in a good place and I consider myself fortunate.
I, for one, cannot wait to see that finished airstream! Love this video and your honesty about “measuring up” to your sister - so relatable! It’s all about perspective!
I work in finance and I’d definitely recommend still checking your reoccurring charges quarterly! Even if you report your card missing- some companies keep your cc information and although the card number itself changes, the account remains opened/the same so they are able to continue billing. I’d recommend calling your bank and requesting to turn off reoccurring charges which is an added measure to assure they are completely restricted from going in and billing your credit card! You can actually skip reporting the card missing and just stop reoccurring charges! A bonus is you won’t have to wait for a new card too!
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I'm used to just buying and holding assets which doesn't seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I'm really worried about survival after retirement.
True, I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you'll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
In my opinion, it was much easier investing back in the 60s but it's a lot trickier now, those making consistent profit in these times are professionals reason I've been using an advisor for the past 5 years to consistently build my portfolio in preparations for retirement.
My CFA NATHAN TRAVIS COOK a renowned figure in his line of work. I recommend researching his credentials further. He has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Is this video real? Like what are we doing? Hard to be empathetic for the most priviledged. Kudos to her for making this income, but def not feeling bad for her.
So inspiring to see a woman who is doing so well be so transparent. You're the role model my younger self would have needed. Now on to me to work hard and try to double my income! Thank you for the motivation, and best of luck on your budgeting journey. Also, if you're going to live in California for 50% of the year, it'd be interesting to learn more about how you plan to handle the tax consequences.
I love this, it's inspiring and relatable in the sense of no matter how much money we make, having control over our finances matter. I think Monica does a good job overall. I love the transparency.
I'm moving out into my first apartment alone in Appleton, Wisconsin. Nothing compared to Seattle or Palm Springs, but it's a small metro city. Just recently they added Bird electric scooters to the community which I thought was cool. At 23 years old I also spend a lot of money too! I'm not worried about paying bills or anything but more concerned about investing for my future, like if I want to purchase a home in 5-10 years and for unexpected health emergencies. I'm still navigating that.
Monica! This is an awesome video! Love your transparency and I’m so impressed with the lives you and Shelby have built for yourselves. It’s a testament to the benefits of working hard and following your passions. And your video production value is amazing. 😃
Monica - this is one of the best videos I've watched of yours. It's been really fun watching you, and your channel, grow into what you and it are today! Bravo, boss lady!
Wow! Thanks for expanding me, that’s what I want. $500k/year sounds possible now that I know you do it, would love to hear more about your tactical steps to get there. All the best!
I'm just curious. Can you rip off a video format that someone else already does and name it the exact same thing? I still find the video enlightening and entertaining, I'm just curious what other people think about Shelby and Monica copying the exact format.
Hmm, good question! TH-cam is an interesting place. I’ve had people copy videos of mine down to the exact word for word sentences. I tried to take as a compliment. Hopefully my video draws more attending to other CNBC videos for them! Legality wise, I don’t think they’ve copyrighted the term.. but if so I guess they could ask me to take it down?
@@MonicaChurch regardless of whether or not people have copied your videos is irrelevant because you aren't the multi billion dollar corporation with all sorts of copyrights and trademarks on their material, logos, etc. You are making money off of their idea and video series by monetizing your videos. In order to do such, you must get permission from the copyright owner and compensate them for this, just like people do in the music industry.
Love the transparency. Loads of other bloated videos on youtube that are boiled down to humble ragging with no tangible information. Really inspirational!
When it comes to shacking up, i have a 3 year limit. There's some things you won't find out about your significant other until you start living with them so 3 years is fine. But once you hit 3 years shacked up, you should be able to decide if the person you are living with is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Monica every time i find my self procrastinating i just have to watch one of your videos to feel inspired ! Wishing you and Shelby the best from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Thank you Monica for looking at this episode, I am about ten years older than you, and I make way less I live in Austin, Texas, but I like your video because I struggle with money. It comes from emotional spending, Im one of those people who like to do different things. I think I was meant to see this video because struggled really bad, I going to keep going. I did want to say that I want to pray for you are a beautiful soul, I saw sadness in your eyes you are on the right path please take some time to relax and self-care, I'm not sure if you are spiritual but it ok, you will obtain everything you desire, I wish I had your drive. It was in my heart to pray for you, just be patient, the Lord will work everything out, take care of yourself, and put your needs 1st. Have a bless day.
Man you've come a long way since the Hairodynamic days and when I first started watching you when you were a teen (and I was too..) Really time flies... LOL $250K from your TH-cam career - you've made it! I'm a doctor and I earn around that.... You really worked hard to go down the self-starter/influencer route - very competitive space!
Great video until you mentioned at the end how much Shelby makes in a year. If her income doesn't bother you or make you jealous, then why would you even mention it?
Although these are good you and your sister should be really cautious about using a possibly trademarked or copy righted show series. Companies like cnbc might send you two cease and desist letters. Just some thoughts I love you and your sisters videos and the transparency I just know how ruthless those companies can be. Hopefully both of you reached out before hand. Would hate to see a copy right strike! Just being real!
Happy for you. You make in a month what I make in a year. I honestly wish I could take home $5k after taxes, so I dream for a 70k a year job. That's my goal for now. I won't be pay check to pay check anymore.
Thank you! A little bit. I’m come up with some rough ideas, but typically leave the shooting VERY open ended/no list of shots. It all comes together in the edit for me :)
Would you say that growing up in a family of financially modest means has helped you? I can imagine that with all this money it would be very tempting to live lavishly, but both you and Shelby are able to resist lifestyle inflation and stay financially responsible.
Save way more than you think you need to. At least 50% of what you make should be saved if you want to be safe in the future to insure against unexpected loss of income in the future. Real estate and social media are very fleeting sources of income. Protect your lifestyle
$500K a year is just enough to live comfortably in the SF Bay Area nowadays unless you’re mortgage free, LOL. This young lady is doing awesome for herself and making more money than a lot of surgeons and anesthesiologists!
In answer to your question, yes, I would be interested in a follow up video. because I get the same feeling. If you find out the secret, I would be interested to know. I now employ my daughter to manage the bank account and expenses, but I still get the same feeling when she asks, "When's the next invoice being paid?"
i don't think you should feel jealous. She may have made more money on it last year but i think its mainly because your doing the real estate thing so your income is more diverse now.
The title of this video is hilarious. Same from Graham Stephan. "Living on $1M/year" or "living on $500K" LOL.... seriously like why? Why does this video exist? You do you realize you make more than like 99.2% of the US population?
Careful about cancelling your subscriptions by changing your card. I did that once and a merchant reported a 30 day missed payment for a $5 payment. Ridiculous.
Did I just make it up, or was there once a video you posted where someone gave you two bottles of wines and you said you liked the cheaper one better….??
Okey, you earn 500k per year on average. Why don't you buy the house in one go, and have the house for the cheapest amount of money? I really don't get it. Never take loans, because they suck. Period! Greetings, Jeff
Absolutely, as always, love your finance videos. I'll probably never get to that point in life as I'm not very optimistic lol, but its okay.😊 wait, you were in Cape Town!? When? Why!? Is there a vlog!? Hope you liked it here! 🤗
The Church sisters are by far one of the things I look forward to watching on TH-cam. I absolutely love what the both of you are currently building.
Thank you so much!

I’m envious of how much money you make, but I have watched how much you’ve worked for what you have. You also don’t seem to take it for granted how well off you are. Thank you for this transparency :)
Excellent vlog! I appreciate how you ( and Shelby) are so honest about your earnings. I've been watching since 2018 and am loving watching your journey in life! You work hard and I am sure having to do vlogs constantly for years is not easy! ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Her monthly budget for wine is more than my monthly budget for food.
I was ready to watch a video about someone out of touch, but you seem so down-to-earth and smart about money. Proud of you!
Anxious? I’m sure you make more than your parents. You are in a very good space financially. Truly enviable. 🦋
I think it’s just the subscriptions that I didn’t have a handle on, not always knowing where my money goes. I want to get that very under control.
Not being fully aware of the money you're spending can make anyone anxious, no matter how much money you make.
@chassisluther3325Maybe a ton of inconsequential problems. It's not like she is worried about eviction or being homeless.
@chassisluther3325 I'm self employed it's much better than being at the mercy of an employer, I would never go back. And as for taxes well it's better to hire a pro and save yourself a lot grief.
I have no idea why Monica has anxiety about money she is spending $9,000 a month an bringing in $29,000 a month that is a $20,000 a month surplus. That is a $240,000 a year surplus. I think your debt is giving you anxiety so I would take the surplus and get debt free. You also said that you love golf and play twice a week. A huge money saver would be buying a yearly golf pass.
As much as I love Monica and Shelby, and how inspiring this is. It reminds me how lost I am in life rn
💗 aww, hang in there
Aww.. Please don't. Try to see it as an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ it is not the norm, you can be successful with a 20k job a year. It all depends on how you define the term successful for yourself ❤️ success can also be to get out of bed and ready in the morning, depending on your situation in life. Try to see it as a life someone else is living and it's so cool that we all have different lifes. Your life is equal as important and equal as successful. Have a great day ❤️
Don’t compare yes they have worked for what they have but their career changes were supported by a YT platform. Focus on having peace of mind good friends and great memories.
Well done Monica. What a self discovery project this must have been for you, especially doing it after Shelby did. It's nice to be able to count your blessings and see where you are and why you love your life, even if it's not the same as your siblings, I deal with the same thing exactly. I'm a grateful girl too xo
Great video Monica! Appreciate your candor. I always feel like budget videos underestimate expenses. I'm not surprised by your $400 monthly wine cost. That's easily done over the course of a month if you buy 2-3 bottles as well as hit a few happy hours with friends.
My guilty pleasures are books and streaming content. I spent roughly a $100 month on those and I would say they’re worth it. My rent covers all my living needs so I’m in a good place and I consider myself fortunate.
I, for one, cannot wait to see that finished airstream! Love this video and your honesty about “measuring up” to your sister - so relatable! It’s all about perspective!
I work in finance and I’d definitely recommend still checking your reoccurring charges quarterly! Even if you report your card missing- some companies keep your cc information and although the card number itself changes, the account remains opened/the same so they are able to continue billing. I’d recommend calling your bank and requesting to turn off reoccurring charges which is an added measure to assure they are completely restricted from going in and billing your credit card! You can actually skip reporting the card missing and just stop reoccurring charges! A bonus is you won’t have to wait for a new card too!
Is it legal for them to keep charging you with a new card you have not shared details with them? It happened to me.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I'm used to just buying and holding assets which doesn't seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I'm really worried about survival after retirement.
True, I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you'll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.
In my opinion, it was much easier investing back in the 60s but it's a lot trickier now, those making consistent profit in these times are professionals reason I've been using an advisor for the past 5 years to consistently build my portfolio in preparations for retirement.
My partner's been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you?
My CFA NATHAN TRAVIS COOK a renowned figure in his line of work. I recommend researching his credentials further. He has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
You can get his details on GOOGLE and send him a message. But remember you have to watch your spending for a while
I feel like CNBC could easily sue for using their IP to make this, especially because you used their logo.
Was thinking the same thing 😬
Is this video real? Like what are we doing? Hard to be empathetic for the most priviledged. Kudos to her for making this income, but def not feeling bad for her.
I don’t think she is asking for sympathy lol.
So inspiring to see a woman who is doing so well be so transparent. You're the role model my younger self would have needed. Now on to me to work hard and try to double my income! Thank you for the motivation, and best of luck on your budgeting journey.
Also, if you're going to live in California for 50% of the year, it'd be interesting to learn more about how you plan to handle the tax consequences.
"I don't really spend that much money on clothes and makeup" ...Spends $1500 on a single shopping trip 4 times a year
she is clueless…
consider her income it is on the low end $6000 a year when she makes 500k a year.
I love this, it's inspiring and relatable in the sense of no matter how much money we make, having control over our finances matter. I think Monica does a good job overall. I love the transparency.
Great job! I had no idea I wasn't watching CNBC's show.
I love how open and honest you are. Thanks for sharing!
Can’t wait Graham Stephan Show to review it. You already know he will.
He’s not going to like the airstream 💀
Monica, this video was SO GOOD!!! You nailed it!! Congratulations on all your success!! ❤
Finally!; a relatable vlog/subject matter for the rest of us! Godsend!
I'm moving out into my first apartment alone in Appleton, Wisconsin. Nothing compared to Seattle or Palm Springs, but it's a small metro city. Just recently they added Bird electric scooters to the community which I thought was cool. At 23 years old I also spend a lot of money too! I'm not worried about paying bills or anything but more concerned about investing for my future, like if I want to purchase a home in 5-10 years and for unexpected health emergencies. I'm still navigating that.
500k a year wow 😮😮😮 I think I live on less than 20k a year
Monica! This is an awesome video! Love your transparency and I’m so impressed with the lives you and Shelby have built for yourselves. It’s a testament to the benefits of working hard and following your passions. And your video production value is amazing. 😃
I love this video. Yours and Shelby's are so interesting. Thank you for always being so transparent! Fav youtubers ever
Monica - this is one of the best videos I've watched of yours. It's been really fun watching you, and your channel, grow into what you and it are today! Bravo, boss lady!
Wow! Thanks for expanding me, that’s what I want. $500k/year sounds possible now that I know you do it, would love to hear more about your tactical steps to get there. All the best!
How can you be stressed out about living on $500k/year?
She can’t make this much any longer. The way she earn her check, everyone with decent look can. Competition soon will flood it
Man I remember watching you with your first heartbreak video and going through your early twenties and here you are now. Such an achievement 🥹
MONICA!! I love the raw honesty in this video, i wish people did more stuff like this
The subscriptions won’t cancel with a new cc…. They still charge automatically to the new card.
I'm just curious. Can you rip off a video format that someone else already does and name it the exact same thing? I still find the video enlightening and entertaining, I'm just curious what other people think about Shelby and Monica copying the exact format.
Hmm, good question! TH-cam is an interesting place. I’ve had people copy videos of mine down to the exact word for word sentences. I tried to take as a compliment. Hopefully my video draws more attending to other CNBC videos for them! Legality wise, I don’t think they’ve copyrighted the term.. but if so I guess they could ask me to take it down?
You literally used their logo and intro though, not just the term
@@MonicaChurch regardless of whether or not people have copied your videos is irrelevant because you aren't the multi billion dollar corporation with all sorts of copyrights and trademarks on their material, logos, etc. You are making money off of their idea and video series by monetizing your videos. In order to do such, you must get permission from the copyright owner and compensate them for this, just like people do in the music industry.
Love the transparency. Loads of other bloated videos on youtube that are boiled down to humble ragging with no tangible information. Really inspirational!
You seem like a responsible, talented, balanced person……..those are great gifts!
Thank you!
Get ready for the Graham comment video. He loves these
I think because I have watched so many millennial money videos this one seemed so funny because you included so many “Monica does this” segments
Love this. I will always appreciate the transparency from your videos.
When it comes to shacking up, i have a 3 year limit. There's some things you won't find out about your significant other until you start living with them so 3 years is fine. But once you hit 3 years shacked up, you should be able to decide if the person you are living with is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Monica every time i find my self procrastinating i just have to watch one of your videos to feel inspired ! Wishing you and Shelby the best from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Thank you Monica for looking at this episode, I am about ten years older than you, and I make way less I live in Austin, Texas, but I like your video because I struggle with money. It comes from emotional spending, Im one of those people who like to do different things. I think I was meant to see this video because struggled really bad, I going to keep going. I did want to say that I want to pray for you are a beautiful soul, I saw sadness in your eyes you are on the right path please take some time to relax and self-care, I'm not sure if you are spiritual but it ok, you will obtain everything you desire, I wish I had your drive. It was in my heart to pray for you, just be patient, the Lord will work everything out, take care of yourself, and put your needs 1st. Have a bless day.
Great content! You are definitely going places!
It’s like a competition to see who is more successful between you and Shelby
You and your sister, showing whats possible.❤
Love this and hope transparent you were. Awesome video!!
In love, beautifully made. You and Shelby are the inspiration behind my art channel. One day hopefully I would be able to create an artwork for you.
Where did you get your blazers in this video? I love them!
Man you've come a long way since the Hairodynamic days and when I first started watching you when you were a teen (and I was too..) Really time flies...
LOL $250K from your TH-cam career - you've made it! I'm a doctor and I earn around that.... You really worked hard to go down the self-starter/influencer route - very competitive space!
Thank you, and much respect to you for what you do!!
sheldoncooper your impact will be felt for decades - influencers not so much
Great video until you mentioned at the end how much Shelby makes in a year. If her income doesn't bother you or make you jealous, then why would you even mention it?
Great job Monica! Such a great video! Time for a budgeting challenge video again maybe? 👀
Amazing thanks for the real world numbers, insight, and transparency!
Although these are good you and your sister should be really cautious about using a possibly trademarked or copy righted show series. Companies like cnbc might send you two cease and desist letters. Just some thoughts I love you and your sisters videos and the transparency I just know how ruthless those companies can be. Hopefully both of you reached out before hand. Would hate to see a copy right strike! Just being real!
one thing they never mention is net worth for some reason
Happy for you. You make in a month what I make in a year. I honestly wish I could take home $5k after taxes, so I dream for a 70k a year job. That's my goal for now. I won't be pay check to pay check anymore.
I love these kinds of videos omg do more pls ☺️
I just love your storytelling skills!!!
You and Shelby make great quality videos. Do you storyboard or visualize what the video will look like before you start making the video?
Thank you! A little bit. I’m come up with some rough ideas, but typically leave the shooting VERY open ended/no list of shots. It all comes together in the edit for me :)
I love these Millennial Money videos!! Everyone should take a good look at their subscriptions services!! 🙌
Would you say that growing up in a family of financially modest means has helped you? I can imagine that with all this money it would be very tempting to live lavishly, but both you and Shelby are able to resist lifestyle inflation and stay financially responsible.
Absolutely! I think my parents instilled an “every dollar counts” sort of mentality. Don’t just throw your money around Willy-nilly even if you can.
Great video! Honest, transparent and a lot of good info!
You’re one of my biggest inspirations to get into real estate. Soo keep doing what you’re doing!
this is a simple yet a creative type of video.
Graham is going to call out the monthly wine over pets and self care lol.
For sure 😂 and the airstream..
It's cool that her and her sister are successful on TH-cam
I was disabled 23 years ago. I would love to see a CBS show on what I am forced to live on . 1, 230.00 usd a month.
I feel like this video was dark. I kept checking my screen brightness but it was fully bright. Even on my tv it was dark!
Question- when you make as much as you do, why don’t you pay cash for your car or other items that have interest?
The loan was such a loan interest rate it just made more sense to finance and keep my cash elsewhere!
@@MonicaChurchyou mean "low"
Save way more than you think you need to. At least 50% of what you make should be saved if you want to be safe in the future to insure against unexpected loss of income in the future. Real estate and social media are very fleeting sources of income. Protect your lifestyle
Wow. You are so out of touch with everyday people. 500k/yr is a lot of money and you’re saying it’s not a lot of money?
A girl once told me she gave up doing real estate because she’s not pretty enough, and she’s not willing to undergo any cosmetic procedures. 😢
$500K a year is just enough to live comfortably in the SF Bay Area nowadays unless you’re mortgage free, LOL.
This young lady is doing awesome for herself and making more money than a lot of surgeons and anesthesiologists!
In answer to your question, yes, I would be interested in a follow up video. because I get the same feeling. If you find out the secret, I would be interested to know. I now employ my daughter to manage the bank account and expenses, but I still get the same feeling when she asks, "When's the next invoice being paid?"
i don't think you should feel jealous. She may have made more money on it last year but i think its mainly because your doing the real estate thing so your income is more diverse now.
Awesome video, must have been a lot of work to film it, congrats 👏
The title of this video is hilarious. Same from Graham Stephan. "Living on $1M/year" or "living on $500K" LOL.... seriously like why? Why does this video exist? You do you realize you make more than like 99.2% of the US population?
The fuck lol
Careful about cancelling your subscriptions by changing your card. I did that once and a merchant reported a 30 day missed payment for a $5 payment. Ridiculous.
Did I just make it up, or was there once a video you posted where someone gave you two bottles of wines and you said you liked the cheaper one better….??
Such great video Monica!!!!
Really enjoyed this video, as always! I especially liked the comments in between haha
It’s a hood video just SO darn kept turning up my brightness 😵💫
Okey, you earn 500k per year on average. Why don't you buy the house in one go, and have the house for the cheapest amount of money? I really don't get it. Never take loans, because they suck.
Period!
Greetings,
Jeff
Absolutely, as always, love your finance videos. I'll probably never get to that point in life as I'm not very optimistic lol, but its okay.😊
wait, you were in Cape Town!? When? Why!? Is there a vlog!? Hope you liked it here! 🤗
