Living On $80K A Year In Los Angeles | Millennial Money

- Wendy Gonzalez, 24, earns around $80,000 a year and lives in the Los Angeles area. She makes her money as a logistics supervisor for an auto tech company and saves a minimum of $1,000 a month. Wendy is saving for a home, has set her sight on business school and plans to grow and monetize her TH-cam channel to help pay for the MBA.
This is the latest installment of Millennial Money, which profiles people across the U.S. and details how they earn and spend their money.

She's well on her way to getting there, with over 1,000 TH-cam subscribers and $25,000 earmarked specifically for a down payment.
"I've been saving since I was 15," Gonzalez tells CNBC Make It. That's when she got her first job, working at Cold Stone Creamery. "Being raised by immigrant parents, I was always told, you need to save every penny. And so I've always had that mentality - that you should strive to save for the future."
Gonzalez, who lives with her boyfriend, Chris, in Pasadena, California, about 11 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, knows better than anybody that the future is unpredictable: In August 2019, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After a successful surgery in October, she's now cancer-free.
"I've realized that health is one of the biggest priorities that we should put first in our life," she says. She also experienced first-hand the importance of having an emergency fund. Her health insurance plan covered the entire cost of her surgery, but her savings account allowed her to feel financially secure during a trying time. "If I didn't have a good health plan, I did have enough savings that could have covered my surgery," and that feels good, she says.
"I've learned that, one: You should always take care of your health. And, when you're healthy, you should always strive to have some type of savings for a rainy day."
Gonzalez makes $80,000 a year working as a logistics supervisor for an auto tech company. She started as a part-time employee while finishing her last year at UCLA.
"I feel that I live comfortably with $80,000 in LA, especially because I am splitting costs with my boyfriend, but there's always room for more growth and higher pay," she says. "My goal is to make roughly $95,000 a year."
Besides her 9-to-5 job, she earns an additional $500 to $700 a month as an online ESL teacher. Gonzalez wakes up at 3:30 a.m. to teach for two hours before heading into the office for her full-time gig. The extra money goes straight to savings. "I don't count that as part of my yearly salary," she says. "I just look at it as money to invest and save."
She also has a TH-cam channel called Invested Millennial, which she uses to share her experience investing in the stock market: "I don't see a lot of women on TH-cam talking about investing - a lot of them are focusing on budgeting and saving, which is amazing, but I think we need more women talking about the power of investing."

Living On $80K A Year In Los Angeles | Millennial Money
$50 a month for eating out is incredible! I can blow that in one meal, easy.
@@InvestedMillennial Great will power, have you. There's an amazing amount of good food in Pasadena!
Invested Millennial just subscribered!
And $150 for all meals/grocery the entire month?
@@75and1 her boyfriend probably buys groceries too
Same!
Gets out of college debt free....buys a BMW that cost the same as a college education 🤣🤣
@@InvestedMillennial this is maybe just the frugal me talking but I can't imagine $700+ coming out every month to a depreciating asset.. thus why I drive a 2006 Civic LOL
@@InvestedMillennial sunk cost fallacy... But you have good income, so yolo.
Based on her situation, it sounds like she didn't come from wealth and worked her ass of in college to get a good degree and a job. You don't understand the feeling of being able to afford something of luxury after constantly struggling. She deserved that gift to herself.
woman...
@@InvestedMillennial Millennial...
She is on a GOOD PATH in life . It breaks my heart that she was dignosed with cancer. I hope she'll embrace healthy eating while doing her treatment. She has a positive spirit , I will check her youtube channel .
She's not, she never was. Tax payer paid her college , then she buy a 60k$ BMW car as a gift to herself for...graduating free, putting herself in major debt for decades.
She's stupid.
@@InvestedMillennial i'm sure we'll pay for that, too...
@@InvestedMillennial Did you even acknowledge that the tax payer paid for your college?
She has a great head on her. Sorry to hear she has cancer. I hope her a good speedy recovery and best wishes with her YT goals.
@@InvestedMillennial I'm so happy for you. 🙏🏾
@@InvestedMillennial I just subscribed your channel. Best wishes🤗 for your future endeavours (from India)
Invested Millennial happy for you! Best wishes!
Invested Millennial This made me so happy! I’m so happy for you! May you get more blessings your way!
@@InvestedMillennial That's awesome to hear! Good luck!
Wow she's amazing! 2 side hustles, a full time career, and overcame cancer!
Natalie Wong and people here are still judging her BMW purchase
@@gabrielesparza8406 right?!?
@@gabrielesparza8406 th-cam.com/video/2vhJyD3L8GA/w-d-xo.html
She's not amazing. She used the FAFSA to have the tax payer pay her way and then makes a stupid financial decision by buying a BMW and makes the assumption she'll make a bunch of money. Oh woopsie, pandemic. Guess she didn't plan for that.
@@PhysifistEngineering She has a $142,000 investment portfolio at 24 years old. I think she's doing OK.
She is 24?! She looks and comes across as older! You go girl!
Not really. It's just that many other 24 year Olds are immature
She looks ALOT older :(
@@InvestedMillennial
Maybe I missed it but how are you making 80k? When it said you make 700 a month from teaching online?
@@InvestedMillennial
oh ok cool
Yes she does look very old
At least she recognises that the BMW wasn't the best choice. Better late than never.
Which goes to show she is impulsive and therefore no one should take her advice seriously
@@pete7164 it's called moving forward. You should try it. The BMW is really her only mistake.
Everything else sounds good. But yeah the BMW was a huge mistake along with the 401k match or buy in. The Roth IRA was nice to hear though.
@@GameFuMaster sure?
@@spcysos would you explain why the 401k with match is a poor choice? I thought it was a good thing to have, along with Roth IRA
The best thing she did was graduate debt Free. That alone put her ahead in life
And then she put herself $60k in the hole wirh that BMW she didn't need. Yeah, real accomplishment there
@@pete7164 it was a gift for herself we all do it same could be said for people who buy cigarettes every day.
Invested Millennial not sure if you are aware of this, but not having a car payment doesn’t mean you drive a beater. My family and I have owned plenty of used cars outright that were not beaters and were newer models. Everyone’s entitled to spend their money on what they want, that guy was rude but that doesn’t mean you stoop to that level too boo.
Absolutely, I get a lot of criticism for paying for ny daughter's college education. I refuse to listen to people around me. Continuing to pay so she will be debt free. I am looking at generational wealth.
Keren Jael Cartwright totally agree. Parents are supposed to help their children to reach their potential. Hopefully, your daughter can do the same for her kids and give them a head start too.
She makes me look lazy. She's an inspiration
Don't worry she is a failure
@@tophatv2902 HAHAHAHA dude you made my day
She makes people look financially responsible. She's a deterrent.
That is the lowest amount I have seen a millennial spend on food in a month
Ikr
You haven't seen me lol. But she's really great with her finances for sure!
Cuz she spending so much on the car
Especially in LA our groceries are marked up compared to other places. Though if you eat mainly plant based it’s not too bad and take into account the parents give them food too.
JewelsView i guess I’m technically not a millennial (I’m 21 so oldest of gen Z), but I spend around 100 a month on food.
She has that "Imma make money" mentality and I see her being very rich. Proud of her as a fellow Latino, I will soon begin my money adventure once I graduate school and do my side hustles. Good vid!
Isnt she rich arleady?
@Major PainDiaz based
@@MrDanielfff777 she is not rich when she is in debt and pay 2x more on are credit card for does points.
@@MrDanielfff777 She is far from "rich". "Imma make money" is deficit spending so I'm not sure why you would have that attitude. Look at the economy now. Wish you had saved instead of buying into this rich lifestyle?
@Will Jacobs that's a huge and embarrassing oversimplification of Latin America's problems
Y’all gotta chill. She is 24. She has 25 k saved some of y’all don’t make 2500 a month 😂
Yes but a BMW
Right! Yet giving financial advice. Like stop it😹
@@nonye1251 A millionaire reviewed this video and said it was a stupid idea...He said she should sell it.
Money does not make the man Jesus was broke
I agree its comical ppl are going in on her.... she's doing a solid job. I'm 37 & my savings and home are good. When i was 24 i had less than 2k to my name 😅...
It really wasnt until i hit 31- did i get serious and worked 2 jobs and hoarded money like a squirrel. Now, i have a career from working my way up.
$720 a month for car repayment is crazy, don’t blame her for regretting such an unwise purchase.
She’s earning just 80k a year but she’s driving a bmw. She could do better without it and just get a low cost car.
It's a BMW
Girl sell that damn BMW an get yourself an Altima lol that alone will double your savings. 😂
Linda F Nissan is trash shoe should’ve gotten an accord
@@erikathoreson5786 i bet you don't know much about cars hahaha
Nah a Toyota...Toyota’s are immortal lol
Lol just thinking of price. Toyota and Honda can be just as expensive as bmw at times
Linda F Yeah but that gas mileage might be better lol I got an older Toyota Corolla...$25 to fill it all the way up and lasts me a week
Baby girl is a hustler. What an inspiration.
Alyssa - Right!! So many focus on the little negatives, while ignoring the big picture positive. Truly sad, but that's society in a nutshell today.
She went into massive debt to drive a nice car after the government and taxpayer dollars pushed her through college. She is an ignorant millennial 🙄
@@scottscriticalmass little negatives? I dont think 60k dollars is something you consider little. This is what is meant by toxic positivity. Ignoring the problem while preaching the "YASS QUEEN, OMG YOU SLAYYYY
@@Samuel-kz7ow it’s her life and her money. why are you so mad? 😩
@@MyBloomingLife because it's presented by the media and herself as a good thing and something other people should strive for. In most cases these people will end up broke because they didn't have experience and believed this is a good practice, so other, smarter people need to say, that it's not, to hopefully save some careers and lives. Do whatever you want and noone can say anything, but if you promote something like that - people will point that out.
Graduating debt-free is pretty massive. Well done. Clearly a driven person and dumps a crazy amount of time into work.
She got fasfa.
LOl are you THAT gullible shes a phony wannabe stop simpin
They should make one for Canadian millennials. For the most popular cities in Canada!
Wendy is amazing! Glad she overcame her cancer!
blogTO does an article like these, but no videos
Toronto Life runs something similar under their "life" section. I'm always so interested to know how my fellow Toronto millennials are spending and saving.
@@veonnisual it would be the same for every person featured. Well said
I am a Truck Driver.. i save more than 50k every year.
show most of us struggling 😭😭 #lovetoseeit
She is a very strong woman. Best wishes for her health.
She is becoming a finance TH-camr because she has seen how much Graham Stephan makes. She has no interest or qualifications to talk about investing. She is very greedy. Don’t subscribe to her because she is a copycat.
Her productivity has me quaking!
Fellow pap. thyroid survivor here - 10 years and counting! It sucked at the time, but it's what encouraged me into my studies in nutrition.
I love that you've learned from your mistakes and life lessons and continue to grow and evolve. If only more people who comment on TH-cam videos all the time could follow that same example ;-)
graduated UCLA debt free, traveled around the world, makes 80k a year, has 25k in savings, and studying to get into an MBA program while pursuing youtube..wow she really has it all together...truly inspiring work ethic as a fellow Latina and senior college student
I’m very happy that at her age she was going to the doctor, a lot of young people from 18-30 hardly go to the doctor. Myself I didn’t really start going until I was 25? Even though I had insurance and everything.
Who's ready for Graham Stephen reaction!
Trishy Trish 🙋🏻♂️
@David Fetta FM relax ....just entertaining honestly ☮
This is too good. He can't roast this girl
@@tramnguyen0000 exactly!!! He will mention something about the car tho
I am! 🙋🏾♀️
I love how she admits that she regrets buying the car
Y’all gotta give her some slack with the BMW, she’s graduated debt free and is really wise with her money, mostly going into investing
Shouldn't education be affordable or even free? It's sad to see that Americans are happy to even graduate debt free...
@@cokiesu yeah, I know right?!
I just started my first college course.
It's online. I'm just getting a preview of what I can learn if I decide to stay in the course further on (The course is only for approx. 9 months)
= nearly $12,000
"Computerized Accounting" diploma course
That’s why people are giving her hassle. What is the point of being so wise and frugal in areas for saving and investing and then blowing all your hard work on a luxury car you really didn’t need? Especially having to get up at 3 in the morning to work etc. Very foolish
Yodelis Sosa have you considered taking some of your classes at a community college? That’s a lot cheaper.
@@crissoa Thanks for the offer but commuity college is not for me; besides, cost doesn't really matter to me, just quality not quantity; plus I don't even have a car and public transportation here is trash.
Also, update: ---->>
I have recently withdrawn from my course because it was not for me and was taking a toll on my mental state as well as other factors. I believe financial aide covered most of it anyways. (FA & my Grant)
PS: My end goal is to become a surgeon in the future. Not only is it a Great career but it also pays a high salary(another reason costs don't bother me)(I like to do things right the first time around, not receive less for less or anything, if you can understand what I mean)
She's proof that cars are definitely an emotional purchase lol
She is a true hustler, all I can say is, she really inspired me to pay off my student loan this year. I was paying the minimum but after watching this video I am paying $1,200 a month now. Thank you invested Millennial. :)
I graduate with zero depth from high school
Bruh how do you get everything from FAFSA? I swear they like “aww, you’re poor? Here’s two cents!”
Lord please help your daughter with the thyroid cancer in her body, I thank you because she’s an amazing Queen helping others in need! God bless you Queen in Jesus’ name Anen!
Amen..
Amen
BMW’s are expensive. When they break down its crazy money to fix!!
Get rid of it before the warranty expires. I had an X6
I KNOW! Get a Honda! They last forever and are easy to maintain. And they keep their value.
Cherie Nikole parts are expensive to
Subaru, same
I LOVE this channel! It has helped me realize that you don't have to make millions to live a comfortable.
I was also inspired to start my own channel!
Please keep producing this great content!
Right
Kudos to Wendy she has a whole lot on her plate and she's juggling it all so well.
This lady is super inspirational! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 hope she leads a long healthy life!
Invested Millennial Glad to hear that! Wish you well ❤️
Just subscribed to her TH-cam channel to support her financial goal. I just finished my masters, I know the feeling of doing both a full time job and school and i have a child. It’s rough! You go girl!👏🏻
LOVE... she seems like a great spirit and very motivating. Im 10 years older and wish I had been this motivated at her age (I know it’s never too late) 💚✨
Bought a BMW and opted out of the 401K which her employer probably matches, hmmmm
This woman is a legend, she really knows how to do everything correctly and she divides her time to get everything done and she is professional at handling multiple things👍 respect to her
Except the food budget , its surprisingly low. In 10 years time she will be a real fat toad after consuming all the fast food " Because she is a professional at handling multiple things " (Where this com from ? Are you a friend of hers ? )
Funkywallot she has her own you tube channel
Iw Wanly Yeah, buying that expensive car and going tens of thousands of dollars into debt right out of college was a brilliant idea.
lol "iw wanly" is a fake account created by her LOLOL
@@drewconway7135 Drew Conway. I thought the same thing
She says she’s conservative with money but pays almost 700 dollars per month on an old BMW
As someone who places value on leisure, it seems kind of silly (to me) to work an extra job just so that you can afford to pay a BMW car note. Why not wait until you're making more than 80k or living in a less expensive place than Southern California to have that kind of a car? As a comparison for folks who don't live on the coasts or in super expensive areas, what she makes is equivalent to 54k in the midwest (indiana, michigan etc.). Idk anyone who earns 54k that would buy a brand new BMW.
Because no one wants to live in those bumass locals 😂
The only thing to work on is transportation. BMW is unnecessary. Other than that, she did outstanding.
We demand a video of millennials loosing jobs because of Covid...
Why are the only choices "live with someone you love" and "live with a roommate you don't really like"?...
Living with your boyfriend is living with your roommate. His wife (the woman he really desires) won't have to pay half the rent.
Scorpia of Rose lol
Scorpia of Rose you took the words right out of my mouth! In time she’ll learn.
@@theconcealedmistress you want to be equal to man but when it comes to pay your fair share is man that have to pay all? and you wonder why you only get simps
@@theconcealedmistress lol what ?
No way only $150 a month on food, especially with eating out!
She’s an inspiration! Enjoy your car. We only live once.
@@InvestedMillennial I did the same thing as you and bought a 4 series when I graduated from grad school lol. It's an awesome car!
You realize she's driving a million dollar car right? Complete waste of money. By the way, I'm speaking as a self-made millionaire driving a used Corolla, paid in cash.
i believe theres some things u can be frugal on, some not. everyone have diff priorities in life
Maybe you
Alexander Kang other’s joy is another’s bore. A corolla might not bring as much joy as a bimmer does, and vice versa, because it rly depends on what you like, regardless of the price points. Im also speaking as a self made who has a bimmer but started with a corolla. I like the bimmer better, not the wisest financial decision, but definitely made me a happier person. Despite my increased income, i dont buy designers shoes or fashion, because it doesnt bring me happiness. At the end of the day, Purchases has less to do with rationale. you buy what u think is worth it, and that’s completely subjective.

I agree!
"The majority of Wendy's expenses were covered by FAFSA." FYI: FAFSA is a form you fill out. It is not a fund. It enables universities to offer funding. CNBC is a money-focused program. Do better!
Almost everyone knows what it means when you get money from FAFSA
Loved listening about your story ! Will be subscribing to your new channel!!
This is an awesome couple and great video but why doesn’t her monthly budget add up to $80k less taxes? $3,468 x 12 months is $41k?..🤔
Oh i wonder what it would have been like getting out of college and having a real job instead I got out in 2008😒that was bloody hell.
$700 a month on a bmw but chick fil a is dining out. Lmao
I’m sos surprised to see so many comments compared to when you first started and I discovered you :) def going in the right direction. SO PROUD OF YOU WENDY
So***
Yep scholarships are well worth pursuing. I graduated from a quite well-reputed university and after doing the sums, realised that I actually had a net profit from attending, after counting all the scholarships, national financial support, etc.
She’s smart and motivated! Just wondering though: she has 25k in savings which makes sense assuming she’s been working about 1 year. But in a comment she said she also has 50k invested in the stock market. How did she get that money when after tax she makes *roughly* 40k?
outsidegirl100 probably an older acct , meaning she’s had it before pulling this job. Or side hustles and gifts invested overtime in addition to her main job🤷🏾♀️
After tax? How lol
40k after taxes? I work in CA and make 85k a year and I take home roughly 55-60k a year after taxes though I'm married. I'm sure she takes atleast 50k some after taxes.
@@TB-vb3ov Jesus...~30% in taxes
cokiesu tax deductions....after tax (30%)without standard deduction on 80,000 is 56k.
Omg so surprised and happy to see her on here! Definitely follow her channel for investing insights!
This one is very relatable to me. I'm a double Bruin, undergrad ND MBA, and also made a terrible car decision after my undergrad. I'm sure you'll do fine.
Love her story. However, Cars are depreciating assets. That BMW is a bad investment. Financially, a bad idea but if you can afford it, good for you
Everything is a depreciating asset. Even your life. So why do anything? Just wait for death right?
Point is, there's no point in making money if you don't buy things that bring you happiness.
Not everything has be about appreciating and depreciating... Some things are about happiness. Try having a positive outlook. Spend money on things you like because everything is depreciating asset.
For example: mattresses are also depreciating asset.. but they bring comfort. So the same way a car brings comfort and happiness.
Try having an outlook that is about happiness.
Except for japanese cars like toyota, not as european
Buying that car was a huge mistake.
Yeah bro she admitted that herself and most people in the comments mutually agree with that. Comment something that hasn't already been addressed. This is old news.
Agreed. It's like she avoided the student loan debt just to get a car loan debt...
Vanessa Malone i follow her on instagram and subscribe to her youtube, she is fairy smart.
This is my favorite one by far, I am inspired and yes you deserved to get the car that you wanted. You are super hard working, gorgeous, and I only see you progressing in the future. My cousin does the teaching on the side and said it is great side money and flexible hours. May you have continued success and health💜
@@InvestedMillennial yay you have a channel #newsubbie and you're welcome! Glad to hear you are doing well :) thanksss, you have a great weekend as well!
What a wonderful lady, very hard working and dedicated. Best of luck to you Wendy.
Nobody:
Graham: why spend that much on a carrrrr
Invested Millennial just keep the car, there is no point in selling it at a loss to prove to others that you saw your mistake. You already did and that is worth far more. As if Graham is as frugal as he says. I hope you saw Antwerp when in Belgium, if not you haven’t been here ;)
Owning Tesla, telling other people to sell their cars :D
@@InvestedMillennial yeah, you know what's up at least. That thing has for to go as soon as you can. Drive it another year or so and then get something that fits the new budget more reliably. Kudos on admitting that!
@@iamadeus Do you understand much about cars?
You go, Wendy! Incredible.
This makes zero sense unless you guys are renting a bedroom. I lived in la for 43 years and just moved out of there last year. This doesn’t sound possible at all.
Oh no the cancer :( I’m so sorry to hear but you got this girl!!! I wish the best for your health 💕
Graham will be disappointed. Not enough bad decision macking from wendy !
Nicky Rostan the BMW is a good one. Not contributing to a 401k first is a good one
@@VerStarr Just read the CNBC article that goes with the video. No employee matching, so she's doing ok. At least she realizes that the car was a mistake.
Buying that car is terrible and he surely won't like that at all as that isn't smart spending.
JBoogie1977 yeah, I read that too.
When graham sees that bmw. He’s gonna end her whole career
She did the biggest mistake buying a brand new BMW, like no. Next best thing would be to sell it asap! Can I afford a luxury car? yes. Is it worth it right now? no. High maintenance cost and great depreciation
@@InvestedMillennial yea but you still got 30K to pay off when you could use that 30K towards a down payment for a house...but if it truly makes you happy then its worth it cuz I'm the same with Range Rovers. Doesnt make much financial sense but I'll still get it
i actually grew up/live here in Pasadena. Glad to see you winning in your fight with Cancer
Graham they made it over ten minutes!!! your words worked
Wow, I am so glad you realize what a wacky move buying that car was! Live and learn, right? I have seen people sell the car and buy a safe and reliable car for like 5-10K. $700 a month has me totally shook! You did everything right leading up to that purchase. I believe you will make better choices going foreword. You just need to mitigate the damage from the Beemer. Best of luck with your TH-cam channel!
"I graduated debt free and that helped me kick off my career." But proceeds to buy a car that cost more than my debt and payments. I graduated with $34K in student loans with less debt. My car was $3,000 and paid off.
That 3,000$ car is probably better than a bimmer tbh

@@hummerguy that would be a personal preference actually
A person who makes 80k a year, who is spending 40 000$ on a car, is suppose to give me an advice for investing money? Buying that kind of car on that salary might be one of the worst purchases.
I love the investing aspect. Thank you CNBC.
You take care of your money and your money is taking care of you. Keep it up!
I have no money it was so bitter for me my island some people enjoy all the best WB in
9 months ago she has 1k on TH-cam and now she has about 14k plus me lol! You go girl, do you and inspire others you are smart and strong.
Awesome choice of car. I suppose you could have gone used, but the 435i drives so much better then the majority of cars on the road. Some think it's all about the luxury, but they have no idea the driving experience they're missing.
I just picked up a 2014 INFINITI Q60S and it is an endless joy to drive.
Thank you for highlighting the importance of investing! I’m about to graduate from college and really respect your hustle and passion for educating others! Wishing you all the best!
I wished they have a follow up show...I would like to know if Coronavirus effected her life style...
Seems like her bf is encouraging her to spend money that she should be saving.
She need to leave him
?
Want to buy a house but no ring yet?
Girl, you've been good!!! Congrats on all your accomplishments.
You guys are on a great path, I’m super proud for both of you! Pasadena is an awesome city. Only wisdom I can give is be careful about spending tens of thousands on an MBA, unless you are certain it will move you up in your field.
Sounds like she works for a pretty solid company. Not taking advantage of the 401k and the probable match she would get from them is like lighting money on fire.
Such a refreshing take on what’s possible. Her goals are real, and not based on the absurd standards played out on social media. She is taking control of her earning potential, and played it smart through college to attain grants and such. Best wishes for her continued health and success! ❤️
Congratulations. You’re killing it.
We love that energy WENDY KEEP IT UP !!!
I couldn’t imagine paying $1,795 on a one bedroom apartment. That just sounds absurd to me!
AR least tge rent gets split, some have to pay rents like tha on their own.
It's LA dude
JJ I’m aware
That’s only 900 per person! That’s pretty cheap considering it’s probably a nice place in a nice area.
That’s a really good price for Pasadena, it’s beautiful there. Me and my gf pay 2800 for a one bedroom in downtown LA . Huge difference.
Congrats on graduating debt-free! 🎊 On Jan. 2, I graduated debt-free from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. Because of my accomplishment, I decided to pursue content creation full time. My passion ❤️
Invested Millennial Awesome! 🤓👏🏼🌟 What concentration? Mine is Journalism. I subscribed to your channel btw!
Hope she is healthy and happy now She is such a positive mature soul 🙌🏻❤️
I am happy that she graduated debt-free, but that car loan 😵 $700 a month! No, thank you!
That's nothing compared to me living in California with 2 kids making only $32,000 a year.
You did everything correctly besides the bmw
She is an inspiration! I was thinking of teaching online for students in China and this just gave me the motivation to do it!
Cool girl. I hope her surgery goes well. One advice would be to have leased the bmw. Now that she’s starting her own TH-cam channel she could find a way to write off the lead payment. But hey you live and you learn!
I love the hussle! You go girl! ♡
That Food budget is impossible in LA, even with "parents bring us food" and doubled with partner
I make 80k a year and I'm debt free. No way would I own a BMW or any other luxury vehicle.
Keep going, an inspiration!!
