SORAAAAAA !!! It’s amazing seeing in this light ❤❤❤ I loved you on Love after Divorce, I thought you were a perfect catch and you still are. You’re so awesome and amazing, keep it up!
It's so inspiring seeing a normal, intelligent woman succeed. We need more exceptional normal people telling their story. Wishing you the best moving forward!
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
Why the hate? It’s not like she’s some useless, lazy gold digger. Does it really bother people so much that she’s independent, hard-working, and financially savvy without needing to rely on a partner?
What is she running away from? All humans have to do is farm the land share the food, doctor and plumbing? What real skills does this chick have other than making money. What is she making this money for?The real skills are the stuff she’s spending the money on. Food/farmin, healthcare/doctor, toilet and water/plumbing. People don’t need “money.”
I wonder how she'll be doing next year though. That lucrative salary is going to disappear after Biden's TikTok ban takes effect and her job disappears
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
I’m looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you thing I should be buying?
My daughter worked as a server and she matured as a person. Her understanding of money and financial awareness was one of the best things that she learned. She was already very social, but learned how to deal with rude customers.
Honestly any minimum wage job teaches you so much about yourself, others, interpersonal relationships and skills, and life skills. I didn't work in food service, hospitality or retail but I spent my youth as a babysitter and nanny. It's by far the one role that taught me the most about myself and boosted my understanding about human behavior, development, psychology etc. Can't get that from a regular office job.
Yet she didn't learn to pick a better husband?? Just like my ex, she was a barista, of course being a cutiepie female would attracts a lot of human male. Therefore now she is currently opposing her entire family for a toxic boyfriend who let her do anything as she pleases instead of preserving her dignity. No after all the years being a server she end up not learning anything, the only one she excel from being a server in FnB is trying to please everyone which end up ruining her health. I don't mean to belittle her since i love her so much, but yeah having a proper father figure is more important than having to work as a server. Cuz without a proper guidance all those skills you learned as a server could become a downfall, like the girl in the video marriage. At the end of the day, having a wholesome family, a loving husband or wife beats everything that anyone would trade over their money for it if they can. Im speaking for my own exp, one who stays single for a whole 30years. despite me loving being alone, if given a chance to have a wholesome family i also want that too -(hence me taking a shot with my ex lol)- www god bless us all
@@linnen_elm You've just said what I wanted to say! When I watched her story, I became very worried and skeptical about young people-whether girls or boys-who believe they will find happiness after divorce. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but some people who are already married might naively think that divorce will automatically lead to a better life.
The success comes from 15%failure and learning from mistakes, 20%willpower and opportunities, 50%efforts, 5% other ppl support (the Tik Tok recruiter that liked her a lot, in this case, and ex husband who still used to take care of finances while married married cause there are also husband that guide you badly), 10% luck and timings (planning your back up plan, in her case, she was ready before the Meta lay off).. Great story❤
for those who did not watch the show she was on (love after divorce), she mentioned that her ex-husband was abusive and the reason for divorce was domestic violence
@@tallwaters9708 Correct. This girl is hyper masculine. It will be very very diffficult to be with her and maintain a masculine role in that relationship. Its probably why she faced a tough time with her ex.
Sora is a hustler... I'm really inspired by her work ethic. I, too, agree with her comment about working in the service industry. I'm a therapist, and honestly those customer service skills always come in handy, not just with my clients, but in collateral contacts that I may have to make on their behalf.
I waited tables for 10 years since I was 17. Even after I got a full time job I still worked at night to pay off credit card debt accumulated while I was away in England. I honed my efficiency and organizational skill working at busy and big restaurants. I sm retired but from time to time I dreamed about working at a diner like LaVerne and Shirley, refilling coffee mugs and talking to regulars 😁
My biggest takeaway after burning out multiple times throughout my life is that we all operate at different capacities and there is nothing wrong with that. Just means we need to find jobs that help us maintain the balance we need to be happy healthy human beings.
I don’t know this woman personally and so don’t know the validity of the comments about her but I think she gave a really good working parent tip about giving the child chores to do. Telling the child to ask for a spoon etc. at a restaurant is a good example and something I will take into account now that my child is at an age where he is able to take on more responsibilities and learn to be more independent so thank you Sora for that advice.
Thanks for inviting her. Ah! She was from Love after marriage S4. Love that she is so honest and gave valuable tip. Didnt know she works for Tiktok. Younger than me and has a full life with fam and a career ❤. Her kid is so cute.
True but this wealthy woman here has nearly $800K in cash/stocks/crypto alone, not including assets, and has very little debt compared to her income, she's definitely ahead of the financial literacy curve. LOL
dont fall for it, this is part of her schtick as an influencer. do you really believe an economics major from berkeley wouldnt have any idea of personal finance?
Born in Brazil to Korean/Japanese parents. Moved to Vegas alone in 1992 at 18 to attend UNLV. My first job ever was as busboy making $3.25/hr, then promoted to server at 21at a steak house, asst mgr, then mgr for a fast food chain, multi-unit mgr, lastly regional mgr and real state investor. Now, I own 11 rentals in Vegas with no mortgages, It brings in $21K in net income/month. Hustled my entire life until I semi retired in 2019 at 45. Moved to SD, surf every weekend, kayaking, camping and raising two small children. Gave up decades of fun, holidays, travels. Soon I'm planning to get a cheap sailing boat, fix it, sail to Portugal and visit my childhood friend. Just posting this cause Sora mentioned being a "server" had an impact on her and how her career took off as she changed careers, like mine did. Life will treat you good if you don't waste it. Lastly, how many of you has an MBA? Probably none, so why post negative comments about her or anyone who has achieved greatly at only 34?
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Many individuals report success in investing in stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), yet I continue to struggle. Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
Been in your shoes and it's probably because you don't know enough about the market yet. You must either understand the market or get the services of a fin. adviser if you don't have the time or expertise for your "investment" to count.
I love this, I love how refreshingly honest she is about her some of the little mistakes she's made and how she's learning from them. Feels very relatable since none of use are perfect. Even if you earn a lot
*I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.*
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. He has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
I just realized how much salary I sacrificed by staying in one company climbing the corporate ladder. Job hoppers won big time. Anyways, great interview. Happy for her success.
It is only true to certain respect. You don't get that climb in catering or hospitality. But you get that climb in tech, legal, banking, etc. With a more minor jump in fields such as engineering, architecture and design.
I'm studying economics and international business, and I think she's handling everything very well - The only downside, as she mentioned herself, is buying a brand new car, instead of just buying a car that's 1-2 years old, saving her a lot of money she could have invested - But it's not that big of a deal tbh, she's doing great, big props to her!
The problem isn’t buying a brand new car - the problem is buying the wrong car at the wrong time. Tesla are known to depreciate a lot and so are EVs in general. Not only did she buy a Tesla EV, she bought it during peak COVID pricing and massively overpaid for the car. That model 3 isn’t worth more than $25K if she tries to trade it in. Last but not least, she should have leased the Model 3 so she’s not stuck with a huge loan and $1000/month payment. Cars are depreciating assets. Don’t spend $70K to buy something that depreciates every day. Instead, lease that car for three years and keep your money in the bank/investments. Payment will be lower, your money can grow in other investments, and your resale value isn’t at the mercy of Elon Musk’s mood that day.
@@KuostA That's how it is. She works in tech in a marketing management and sales role. If someone sees her driving a 15 year old Camry, they'll wonder if she really is worth the money.
She is amazing. Very intelligent and sophisticated. She knows what’s up. Not easy living in the Bay Area its expensive and nowadays dangerous. She was a server at one point too and I can’t agree more about being one is so important cause it teaches you about people. I am a full time server in the Philadelphia suburbs. I make 83k a year from that and i DoorDash on the side. Drive a brand new 2023 Acura TLX i bought last year. I always had a bad relationship with money due to family issues so i always think about money every day. Really love how she said just because someone drives a nice car doesn’t mean they are wealthy.
I work with her in a cross functional manner at Tiktok & followed the show she was on & this. She is an individual contributor in marketing, does not bring in nearly what she claims. It’s been well established that she was laid off from Meta and fired from Netflix. It’s easy to look her up and see that she rents some old condominium in Foster City, not San Mateo. Has a partner, is not a “single mom” that she states splits rent with to make ends meet. Divorced her husband, who she said bought her over $500k worth of cars after she was caught cheating and now needs constant external validation This woman just rewrote the definition of a toxic narcissist
Before TH-cam just recommended this video to me, I've never heard of this woman and don't have a dog in the fight. I couldn't care less about her one way or the other. With that said: * how would you know how much she makes? The only way you could know that is if you're her boss, accountant or taxman/tax woman. Please let us know how you know this. * she said she was laid off from Meta and doesn't seem to be hiding this fact, yet you brought it up in a negative light. People get laid off and it's not a reflection on the person. If she said she quit, that would be different, but she didn't. * I looked her up and saw nothing regarding where she lives. I then decided to look up Foster City and it's still a very posh area. It's not like she's living in the slums and this is me taking you at your word. I saw nothing to back up what you claim. * man, you're even attacking her single mom status? She and her husband are divorced and she hasn't remarried. I think that's the takeaway here. What's the point in bringing this up? Again, I don't care about this woman and have no opinion of her. But you, on the other hand, seem like you have a grudge against her.
That’s a lot of money to people that don’t live in the West Coast. But people that live on the West Coast that’s normal. This is not millions of dollars and this is honestly average income for anyone living in the West Coast. Unless they’re a multimillionaire, they’re not really making “a lot” of money.
Heard most of the leadership they got rid of at meta during thst large severance were essentially just talking heads picked up by meta so none of the other big tech could hire em 😅
2:06 I agree! I worked at McDonald's at 16, and ot taught me customer service, working under pressure in fast paced environment, problem solving, and accuracy. Highly recommend.
@@evileyez504 The Democrat Biden Administration is going to shut TikTok down (something the Trump administration will also do should Trump be elected President again in 2024).
I love stories like this. She worked her way up the ladder at a young age. She's saving, investing and came out ahead even after divorce. I love this for her!
Agree that she's got a great work ethic, but seeing that she's from Korea with parents who paid for her to study abroad in the US and Canada, 99.999% of the time means she comes from $$$$ to begin with.
@@jjn6914yeah but it doesn't take away from her hard work. It helped to have parents who can pay for her education but she had to work and study. Plus she said she worked while studying which is not easy. Good for her.
Imagine going through university, and then graduate school and getting an MBA. But, you leave knowing absolutely nothing about stocks, finances, investing, 401K etc... That right there is a prime example of the failure of our educational systems.
K to Grad School route and the academia bubble is real / insidious. there's a world full of individuals with advance degrees across the spectrum (in STEM and Liberal Arts) who's completely oblivious to living a real life
Not necessarily, that MBA degree is what got her good jobs with good pay. I’d say it worked out well for her. Plus you could always learn about investing on your own.
You can do a lot of thing while getting an MBA. The first year is basic general business stuff like accounting principles, management principles, psychology and else. Second year is electives and/or tracks, you can do more management, finance(investment banking, M&A, business law) or a combination. You can get an MBA without ever touching stocks, bonds or else because management is the core of the degree not finance.
I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other TH-cam trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow
I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.
I wish to diversify my assets by investing in ETFs/index funds and stocks of corporations with stable cash flows. I received $400k from the selling of my condo in Mansfield. Do I need some sort of asset manager to achieve this?
Remember that investing in the market carries risks, and it’s important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial with an Experts guidance. I have 850k in equity, 275 cash earning 5.25 interest, 685k in 401k, 120k cash account, 80k in car assets ( paid off cars) Gold and silver bars. age is 48. My advisor helped me realign my portfolio to my risk tolerance and it boomed shortly.
Sure, the popular Kristin Amy Rose is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details on the web to set up an appointment..
Thank you for sharing, I must say, Kristin appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call.
she is beautiful, intelligent, well-educated, caring, and takes good care of herself. haters gonna hate because she is doing well in life without a loser man who is holding her back.
*Your explanations are clear and straight forward It's always a honor to have you here as a mentor, I appreciate you for the time being spent to educate us financially. Regardless of how bad it gets the economy, I still makeover $28K every single week. I truly value Laura, and her helpful guides.*
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional.
Congrats! Will be following her. Amazing! Asian women are killing it with work/ life balance. Really inspired by them :) A few of my co working clients are Chinese and a few of them send their kids to private mandarin immersion school and they have a tight knit and welcoming community. Its beautiful to witness :)
you're right. there are many engineers working at top tech companies in this same area, earning upwards of 450k TC and still living in an apartment with 3 other people. this area is no joke.
@@newmexicoballer3867not just probably, but she admitted it. She basically filed for divorce after reading an article about the benefits of divorcing once the child hit 2.5 years old. She’s successful because she’s very calculating and aggressive.
@@LifeSoDevine watch the video. She's making nowhere near 400k. Her salary in 2023 was $290k WITH a sign-on bonus... Her base is probably only around $260k to $270k... You are definitely not buying 3 houses with that money
@@wucool33 @1:16 it says her base is $320k and her RSUs are 80K. I think you're confused because at the 4:35 Mark it says she made only $290k. That's because most of that year was spent at Facebook
@@opia7693 I was replying to the person saying she was making 400k so she “definitely co owned the house”. My point was that she didn’t make any where near enough money to co-own anything while married.
Nah good for him. She will end up old and alone and he will find another partner, hopefully someone who marries him for the right reasons since this chick clearly didn’t.
well, she had to pay HIM spousal support after the divorce, so he's obviously a deadbeat, especially when you factor in that she is supporting the kid alone.
Wow a real person. Still a lot of money but she's obviously a real person and not afraid to talk about her insecurities and mistakes. She obviously knows what's she's doing. #inspirational
money doesn't buy happiness, it buys you a comfortable life, but happiness is something totally different imo. stupid society makes people needlessly competitive otherwise you are a loser, whatever that means =P
If girl is beautiful she can literally became ceo from intern in corporate in just few years. For beautiful girls life in corporate is easy.Never trust their words.
You can’t apply your mindset of today towards the income of someone with a different mindset that led them to a job like that. Those kind of people are stimulated by always dreaming about and wanting to be a better version of themselves than yesterday. Settling down and having a mundane and stable life would drive high income people crazy usually
It was great hearing her story. One thing I wish was expanded on was that we can do it all as long as we have good time management. While that is a necessary skill many people do not have, many of us are also just overworked. For that salary I can see it being worth it but I've also seen people in the high 6 figures and above income who have no lives outside of work. Trying to work your way up in a healthy way that doesn't cause burn out and other issues is difficult. But watching this definitely made me want to do more.
This woman appeared on Korean match-making TV show and no one wanted her and she left the show ALONE , making $400k don't mean nothing if no body wants her
All the participants had their own choices and preferences ,especially because they were all divorcees, they had certain criteria before choosing their partner, like distance for one. About 10 of them came to the show, and just two couples came out of it and are dating to this day. So that show says nothing about her. She is happy with her son.❤
I admire your transparency, takes a lot of confidence & courage to share your financial details out loud as most people don't feel comfortable broaching this "taboo" subject.
Don't feel bad for this Single Mom stuff. She initiated the divorce, put her child's future in question and walked away with Cash. No man with integrity should LTR her. Play time 🍆 only
@@katies2067 It’s because asians tend to be quieter than Americans, so by American standards asians tend to look like they are sad and depressed all the time.
@@Bob-v8h I thought she cane across humble and dedicated to her son. Instead of hating on her success you could focus on bettering yourself. She probably earns more than you and it stings.
She could be doing better if she didn’t buy the car brand new like that, but she still saves and invests most of her money now. So, as long as she keeps living like that, she can still live well financially. Especially since she makes 6 figures a year! I’m almost 30, with a degree, and I’m still not there yet even though I have been living frugally and investing since I was in my mid 20s. I wish her and her kid the best! 🙏❤️
As someone in the space these apps are made to be addictive, but if you aren't watching your kids usage that's your own problem. I wouldn't let anyone that's in school on these apps considering they're using behavioral psychology to keep people on the app. Adults also should check in with themselves to make sure they aren't addicted.
it is called "if they don't see the coffin, they won't cry". Meaning, if they pay you $150k and the person doing the same job gets $400k, they won't care. But if you have a counter offer that is $380k and they have to have you, they will pay $390k or $400k. If you say you want to leave, it is possible they may find another person, unless if the project is to be done in December and now it is August and they have no time to find and train somebody. Otherwise, they always make the job nature "replaceable" and then treat the person like trash
8:55 I love her parenting talk- giving your kids chores and engaging with them, helping them getting interest in learning things. A few of my girl friends seem doing too much for their kids and the kids are getting too comfortable and too lazy, also the kids kind of miss out opportunities to learn in little things. She is great! However, after finishing watching, I'm still left wondering, how does she make $400k a year working at TikTok? 🤣
@travelvideozif all it takes is luck why are you not in her position, wealthy and successful, as opposed to sitting on TH-cam commenting about someone else’s life?
@travelvideoz i think it is both. i think for anyone who watched the full video, it would be reasonable to say she seems to be quite intelligent and driven. she got a very good degree that not everyone would be able to get, she reads and educates herself on topics she doesnt know much about, she is very conscious about how she raises her son, and she recognizes the financial mistakes she made and seems like she would not repeat the same mistake again. however, i also think that not everyone that is intelligent and driven will necessarily find themselves in the place that she did. things happened to work out for her, when she got laid off she got. a new job two days later. this isn't usually what happens, who knows, if she didn't have that new offer, things could look very diffferent today
@@missfrosty98 Finally a sensible comment on this thread. Also, if you prioritize family (spouse , kids, etc) your chances do go down of reaching this level of success. Keep in mind how much time she does sacrifice to also accomplish this but her priorities are those to each their own. Divorce and fast success do have a correlation in many cases.
Not really. TikTok is an asian owned company and she’s Asian, which has a lot to do with how she got that position and money. She’s hard working, but there’s more to it that that
Very inspirational! This is the American dream! I think everyone in America who sits around and complain about how this world is unfair should watch this video and think about the adversity this woman had to overcome being a minority woman immigrant, donating her eggs to pay for her studies and better her situation. congratulations on your success!
To be fair, her relationship with money is a journey that she’s still working on. And regarding the 4K necklace, it was to celebrate a milestone. Would I have personally purchased a 4K necklace? No. But it was what she wanted, so she purchased it, and that’s okay. It doesn’t sound like she’s spending 4K on miscellaneous things all the time and doing so every month, but rather, this was a one-time thing.
At one point she said she sometimes thinks she needs to be more and make more money. That coupled with how she grew up I think for her having a health relationship with money would be not idolizing it or worrying about it too much, spending it on enjoyable things and not feeling bad about her purchase. She's killing it
Is it just me or is it crazy that an individual with an MBA didn't know how to throw money into a brokerage account? I guess the first step is really sparked from interest.
I would love to get her ex-husband's POV. Come on CNBC interview him for the 2nd follow-up "where are they now?" segment. This woman has multiple mental disorders and needs help.
@@Charlieprivatevids I knew something was off when the biggest slice of her pie was selling the home she “co-owned” with her ex-husband. We all know what that means!
tf is wrong with these comments??? dont like tiktok? ok, then move along. dont like her choices? ok, then move along. nobody is asking you to date her or be like her. i earn more than her as a software engineer and dont feel the need to judge her like whatever, doesnt affect me. some of y'all seem jealous.
What is she running away from? All humans have to do is farm the land share the food, doctor and plumbing? What real skills does this chick have other than making money. What is she making this money for?The real skills are the stuff she’s spending the money on. Food/farmin, healthcare/doctor, toilet and water/plumbing.
@@cryusratu2573 weird comment. why do you care so much about some random lady's "real skills"? why are you responding to me? im not her, and i won't know the answer to that, but if i had to wager a guess, in 2024, there are a lot more skills needed to keep society running than just the ones you mentioned. also you seem like a bot spam commenting this everywhere. maybe get a life?
Software engineers work hard. What exactly is she doing for $400k as marketing of TikTok. Not jealous or mad because she’s found a way to do nothing much and win. But these tech people are always overpaid. That’s why so many are laid off at once.
BIG mistake letting someone else control your money without doing your own frequent checks. Stay on top of it. Even in a good marriage a spouse could become ill or die. You need to know what you have and how to manage it.
Shes getting paid way too much for what she does. Tiktok doesnt sell products. The people on the app sell products. She basically does nothing and gets paid 400k
You have no idea what you’re talking about… in tech, the app itself and its various features are a product. Their livestreams itself are products (not to mention, TikTok likely earns commission from the sales made during those livestreams, like QVC infomercials.) The For You homepage is a product, powered by its own algorithm. Etc etc…
She succeeded this is very inspiring wishing her the best especially coming out of an DV relationship she’s doing everything right and being there for her son with her partner she deserves happiness
@@HebryNegga-wy4zr some people are built differently. But speaking from personal and observed experience this level of output typically is only sustained for a short period of time.

You’re correct I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at the moment
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
How do one get started?
Amen!
Why the hate? It’s not like she’s some useless, lazy gold digger. Does it really bother people so much that she’s independent, hard-working, and financially savvy without needing to rely on a partner?
What is she running away from? All humans have to do is farm the land share the food, doctor and plumbing? What real skills does this chick have other than making money.

I see a lot of troll comments here. Just ignore them. Some of them look like bots. Or some ppl just get triggered seeing a successful woman 🤷
Wonder how much she is pulling down in "child support"?
I wonder how she'll be doing next year though. That lucrative salary is going to disappear after Biden's TikTok ban takes effect and her job disappears
Ain't going to lie, I dont see any negative comments, just yours.
Jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy! I pray everyone here becomes successful!
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
I’m looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you thing I should be buying?
Crypto/stock investment but you will need a professional help on that

Agree with her suggesting everyone work as a server. You learn a lot.
My daughter worked as a server and she matured as a person. Her understanding of money and financial awareness was one of the best things that she learned. She was already very social, but learned how to deal with rude customers.
Honestly any minimum wage job teaches you so much about yourself, others, interpersonal relationships and skills, and life skills. I didn't work in food service, hospitality or retail but I spent my youth as a babysitter and nanny. It's by far the one role that taught me the most about myself and boosted my understanding about human behavior, development, psychology etc. Can't get that from a regular office job.
@@SL-lz9jr you know what they say minimum wage, minimum effort
Yet she didn't learn to pick a better husband?? Just like my ex, she was a barista, of course being a cutiepie female would attracts a lot of human male. Therefore now she is currently opposing her entire family for a toxic boyfriend who let her do anything as she pleases instead of preserving her dignity. No after all the years being a server she end up not learning anything, the only one she excel from being a server in FnB is trying to please everyone which end up ruining her health. I don't mean to belittle her since i love her so much, but yeah having a proper father figure is more important than having to work as a server. Cuz without a proper guidance all those skills you learned as a server could become a downfall, like the girl in the video marriage. At the end of the day, having a wholesome family, a loving husband or wife beats everything that anyone would trade over their money for it if they can. Im speaking for my own exp, one who stays single for a whole 30years. despite me loving being alone, if given a chance to have a wholesome family i also want that too -(hence me taking a shot with my ex lol)- www god bless us all
@@linnen_elm You've just said what I wanted to say! When I watched her story, I became very worried and skeptical about young people-whether girls or boys-who believe they will find happiness after divorce. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but some people who are already married might naively think that divorce will automatically lead to a better life.
Really love how she's honest about her mistakes and knows to learn from them in the future. Super honest of her and wish her the best of luck!!
The success comes from 15%failure and learning from mistakes, 20%willpower and opportunities, 50%efforts, 5% other ppl support (the Tik Tok recruiter that liked her a lot, in this case, and ex husband who still used to take care of finances while married married cause there are also husband that guide you badly), 10% luck and timings (planning your back up plan, in her case, she was ready before the Meta lay off)..
Great story❤
simp
She’s a goldigga
for those who did not watch the show she was on (love after divorce), she mentioned that her ex-husband was abusive and the reason for divorce was domestic violence
Sure, but if you ask him you'll hear another side to the the story.
An abusive white dude...before anyone assumes she married and had a kid with an Asian guy.
@@tallwaters9708 Correct. This girl is hyper masculine. It will be very very diffficult to be with her and maintain a masculine role in that relationship. Its probably why she faced a tough time with her ex.
@@irshviralvideoThe husband didn't have a job.
@@banshee1133 according to who ? her ? dont take her word for it....
Sora is a hustler... I'm really inspired by her work ethic. I, too, agree with her comment about working in the service industry. I'm a therapist, and honestly those customer service skills always come in handy, not just with my clients, but in collateral contacts that I may have to make on their behalf.
@@tdc7totally didn’t catch that! 😂
I waited tables for 10 years since I was 17. Even after I got a full time job I still worked at night to pay off credit card debt accumulated while I was away in England. I honed my efficiency and organizational skill working at busy and big restaurants. I sm retired but from time to time I dreamed about working at a diner like LaVerne and Shirley, refilling coffee mugs and talking to regulars 😁
I gotta say I admire her work ethic. I don’t have kids, but I became burnt out after just 10 years in the work force.
Same.
Ya are weak bro. Man up.
Same.
My biggest takeaway after burning out multiple times throughout my life is that we all operate at different capacities and there is nothing wrong with that. Just means we need to find jobs that help us maintain the balance we need to be happy healthy human beings.
Burn out isn’t real. You just didn’t have a purpose behind your work.
Really appreciate her honesty and transparency around her divorce, money and career! Respect
A woman without a man is a human without god.
I don’t know this woman personally and so don’t know the validity of the comments about her but I think she gave a really good working parent tip about giving the child chores to do. Telling the child to ask for a spoon etc. at a restaurant is a good example and something I will take into account now that my child is at an age where he is able to take on more responsibilities and learn to be more independent so thank you Sora for that advice.
Thanks for inviting her. Ah! She was from Love after marriage S4. Love that she is so honest and gave valuable tip. Didnt know she works for Tiktok. Younger than me and has a full life with fam and a career ❤. Her kid is so cute.
Goes to show even wealthy people don't always have financial literacy. Appreciate her openness and honesty.
True but this wealthy woman here has nearly $800K in cash/stocks/crypto alone, not including assets, and has very little debt compared to her income, she's definitely ahead of the financial literacy curve. LOL
@@ojames1983this very smart cause once TikTok shuts dow she will at least gotten something out of it.
she isnt wealthy lol, wealthy is net worth of over 5M
dont fall for it, this is part of her schtick as an influencer. do you really believe an economics major from berkeley wouldnt have any idea of personal finance?
Born in Brazil to Korean/Japanese parents. Moved to Vegas alone in 1992 at 18 to attend UNLV. My first job ever was as busboy making $3.25/hr, then promoted to server at 21at a steak house, asst mgr, then mgr for a fast food chain, multi-unit mgr, lastly regional mgr and real state investor. Now, I own 11 rentals in Vegas with no mortgages, It brings in $21K in net income/month. Hustled my entire life until I semi retired in 2019 at 45. Moved to SD, surf every weekend, kayaking, camping and raising two small children. Gave up decades of fun, holidays, travels. Soon I'm planning to get a cheap sailing boat, fix it, sail to Portugal and visit my childhood friend. Just posting this cause Sora mentioned being a "server" had an impact on her and how her career took off as she changed careers, like mine did. Life will treat you good if you don't waste it. Lastly, how many of you has an MBA? Probably none, so why post negative comments about her or anyone who has achieved greatly at only 34?
I'm also Korean/Japanese. 👋🏼 Had to say hi cuz this is not a common mix.
@@LostGirl415
Thanks for sharing.
How was it like growing up in Brazil?
Love that last line!😊
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.
It is remarkable how much long term
advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid,
instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Many individuals report success in investing in stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), yet I continue to struggle. Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
She's really way up there in the ladder. Very few people make that much. Wish I was her but my 9-5 will not let me be great
Not that much man, calm down
It’s good in the most magnificent. Even as a 9-5er, I make close to that yearly from stocks only. She's earns well, but she isn't way up there
how do you make that much from Stocks? Tried to and let us just say it did not go as expected
Been in your shoes and it's probably because you don't know enough about the market yet. You must either understand the market or get the services of a fin. adviser if you don't have the time or expertise for your "investment" to count.
nice. So did you use an FA? What are the steps for getting one? like a really good one
I love this, I love how refreshingly honest she is about her some of the little mistakes she's made and how she's learning from them. Feels very relatable since none of use are perfect. Even if you earn a lot
Yeah , I do love too. I see myself in her story and don’t feel ashamed anymore for doing my mistakes
*I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.*

That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started.
What are your strategies?
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions.
I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. He has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
I just realized how much salary I sacrificed by staying in one company climbing the corporate ladder. Job hoppers won big time.
Anyways, great interview. Happy for her success.
Only in certain fields. Software is one of those fields.
It is only true to certain respect. You don't get that climb in catering or hospitality. But you get that climb in tech, legal, banking, etc. With a more minor jump in fields such as engineering, architecture and design.
Yup, don’t believe the lies 😎
I'm studying economics and international business, and I think she's handling everything very well - The only downside, as she mentioned herself, is buying a brand new car, instead of just buying a car that's 1-2 years old, saving her a lot of money she could have invested - But it's not that big of a deal tbh, she's doing great, big props to her!
She has to buy the Tesla because of perception of coworkers and her job
@@KK-pm7ud lawl uh no, what a horrible reason to buy a new car.
The problem isn’t buying a brand new car - the problem is buying the wrong car at the wrong time. Tesla are known to depreciate a lot and so are EVs in general. Not only did she buy a Tesla EV, she bought it during peak COVID pricing and massively overpaid for the car. That model 3 isn’t worth more than $25K if she tries to trade it in. Last but not least, she should have leased the Model 3 so she’s not stuck with a huge loan and $1000/month payment. Cars are depreciating assets. Don’t spend $70K to buy something that depreciates every day. Instead, lease that car for three years and keep your money in the bank/investments. Payment will be lower, your money can grow in other investments, and your resale value isn’t at the mercy of Elon Musk’s mood that day.
@@KuostA That's how it is. She works in tech in a marketing management and sales role. If someone sees her driving a 15 year old Camry, they'll wonder if she really is worth the money.
@@KK-pm7ud yeah, stop talking about things you don't understand lmao. just sit back down pls
“Just because people have an expensive car, doesn’t mean they are wealthy. And cars are a depreciating assets.” Wow, what a valuable idea.
That’s pretty common sense actually.
not ford gt
I wish I didn't buy a car.
read rich dad poor dad, that a grain of sand in that book of wisdom
common knowledge
She is amazing. Very intelligent and sophisticated. She knows what’s up. Not easy living in the Bay Area its expensive and nowadays dangerous. She was a server at one point too and I can’t agree more about being one is so important cause it teaches you about people. I am a full time server in the Philadelphia suburbs. I make 83k a year from that and i DoorDash on the side. Drive a brand new 2023 Acura TLX i bought last year. I always had a bad relationship with money due to family issues so i always think about money every day. Really love how she said just because someone drives a nice car doesn’t mean they are wealthy.
I work with her in a cross functional manner at Tiktok & followed the show she was on & this. She is an individual contributor in marketing, does not bring in nearly what she claims. It’s been well established that she was laid off from Meta and fired from Netflix. It’s easy to look her up and see that she rents some old condominium in Foster City, not San Mateo. Has a partner, is not a “single mom” that she states splits rent with to make ends meet. Divorced her husband, who she said bought her over $500k worth of cars after she was caught cheating and now needs constant external validation
This woman just rewrote the definition of a toxic narcissist
Before TH-cam just recommended this video to me, I've never heard of this woman and don't have a dog in the fight. I couldn't care less about her one way or the other.
With that said:
* how would you know how much she makes? The only way you could know that is if you're her boss, accountant or taxman/tax woman. Please let us know how you know this.
* she said she was laid off from Meta and doesn't seem to be hiding this fact, yet you brought it up in a negative light. People get laid off and it's not a reflection on the person. If she said she quit, that would be different, but she didn't.
* I looked her up and saw nothing regarding where she lives. I then decided to look up Foster City and it's still a very posh area. It's not like she's living in the slums and this is me taking you at your word. I saw nothing to back up what you claim.
* man, you're even attacking her single mom status? She and her husband are divorced and she hasn't remarried. I think that's the takeaway here. What's the point in bringing this up?
Again, I don't care about this woman and have no opinion of her. But you, on the other hand, seem like you have a grudge against her.
me when i lie 💀
Why do you hate her
IS THIS THE EX-HUSBAND?
@@nadiashami Probably Ex husband.
Huh, the shot at 8:42 is at 720 promontory point lane in Foster City. I've run a few half marathons on the trail there.

That Meta severance package tho
80K in RSU's as well like sheesh. Silicon Valley is not like the rest of the country.
@@kgal1298 i got 24k for being a year in amazon
@@kgal1298
Yes
That’s a lot of money to people that don’t live in the West Coast. But people that live on the West Coast that’s normal. This is not millions of dollars and this is honestly average income for anyone living in the West Coast. Unless they’re a multimillionaire, they’re not really making “a lot” of money.
Heard most of the leadership they got rid of at meta during thst large severance were essentially just talking heads picked up by meta so none of the other big tech could hire em 😅

Agree that she's got a great work ethic, but seeing that she's from Korea with parents who paid for her to study abroad in the US and Canada, 99.999% of the time means she comes from $$$$ to begin with.
@@jjn6914yeah but it doesn't take away from her hard work. It helped to have parents who can pay for her education but she had to work and study. Plus she said she worked while studying which is not easy. Good for her.

@@jjn6914I mean she still had to sell her eggs to make ends meet. Egg retrieval is no easy task.
Imagine going through university, and then graduate school and getting an MBA. But, you leave knowing absolutely nothing about stocks, finances, investing, 401K etc... That right there is a prime example of the failure of our educational systems.
I agree with you! Never too late to learn though :)
K to Grad School route and the academia bubble is real / insidious. there's a world full of individuals with advance degrees across the spectrum (in STEM and Liberal Arts) who's completely oblivious to living a real life
Not necessarily, that MBA degree is what got her good jobs with good pay. I’d say it worked out well for her. Plus you could always learn about investing on your own.
You can do a lot of thing while getting an MBA. The first year is basic general business stuff like accounting principles, management principles, psychology and else. Second year is electives and/or tracks, you can do more management, finance(investment banking, M&A, business law) or a combination. You can get an MBA without ever touching stocks, bonds or else because management is the core of the degree not finance.

I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.
I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing.
If you can, then get a professional to trade for you i think that way your assets are more secure
I'd recommend Annabelle Hartfield, her profit is great even when there's a dip
I wish to diversify my assets by investing in ETFs/index funds and stocks of corporations with stable cash flows. I received $400k from the selling of my condo in Mansfield. Do I need some sort of asset manager to achieve this?
Remember that investing in the market carries risks, and it’s important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial with an Experts guidance. I have 850k in equity, 275 cash earning 5.25 interest, 685k in 401k, 120k cash account, 80k in car assets ( paid off cars) Gold and silver bars. age is 48. My advisor helped me realign my portfolio to my risk tolerance and it boomed shortly.
I've been getting suggestions to use a market expert too, but where and how to find one has been challenging, Can i reach out to the one you use?
Sure, the popular Kristin Amy Rose is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details on the web to set up an appointment..
Thank you for sharing, I must say, Kristin appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call.
she is beautiful, intelligent, well-educated, caring, and takes good care of herself. haters gonna hate because she is doing well in life without a loser man who is holding her back.

The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional.
You're right! The very first time I tried, I invested $2000 and after a week, I received $8,400. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

Same. If I could invest 25% of that, I could easily build wealth, and retire.
You can’t apply your mindset of today towards the income of someone with a different mindset that led them to a job like that. Those kind of people are stimulated by always dreaming about and wanting to be a better version of themselves than yesterday. Settling down and having a mundane and stable life would drive high income people crazy usually
It was great hearing her story. One thing I wish was expanded on was that we can do it all as long as we have good time management. While that is a necessary skill many people do not have, many of us are also just overworked. For that salary I can see it being worth it but I've also seen people in the high 6 figures and above income who have no lives outside of work. Trying to work your way up in a healthy way that doesn't cause burn out and other issues is difficult. But watching this definitely made me want to do more.
Tiktok is cancer to society, but she seems like a very nice and hardworking person. Shame she works there.
hopefully she can change to a better company soon. as a mom she must know how harmful it is to children and society

This woman appeared on Korean match-making TV show and no one wanted her and she left the show ALONE , making $400k don't mean nothing if no body wants her
why did she left single ? Too picky ? Too bossy ?
All the participants had their own choices and preferences ,especially because they were all divorcees, they had certain criteria before choosing their partner, like distance for one.
About 10 of them came to the show, and just two couples came out of it and are dating to this day.
So that show says nothing about her.

Fatherless Children are the main cause of the world's social problems.
This woman prioritized her$elf before anyone.
Lol or she was in an abusive relationship? Lots of reasons to leave a marriage besides just "feeling like it because I'm selfish", lol
@@MossMini What's wrong with that? And why are you upset?
She's really high up there in the corporate ladder. 400k TC is crazy
It actually isn't for her title. Plus they have to pay her more because of the evil stuff she does working for TikTok.
It’s normal in most the magnificent 7. Most of the jobs senior are 200k and up. Add a bonus or sign on bonus and you easily add 100k
Mid level engineers make that much
I’m in Corp finance and also in the wrong industry . She’s in marketing and a director level. Where did I go wrong maaaaan.
She banged her way up
cringe content
You can tell that she is still not happy even after making all these money
Probably happier than making $20k
And you’re the one that is happy?😅
How can you tell?
@@katies2067 It’s because asians tend to be quieter than Americans, so by American standards asians tend to look like they are sad and depressed all the time.
Sora doesn’t have to smile to be happy. You can tell she is happy and loving her best life with her son. That makes her happy and successful.
I’m naturally repulsed by her for some reason
You naturally don’t matter to her, for very obvious reasons
You are jealous 😂😂😂😂
@@LMcBee repulsed. She seems a little narcissistic and hard to deal with
It’s called jealousy.
@@Bob-v8h I thought she cane across humble and dedicated to her son. Instead of hating on her success you could focus on bettering yourself. She probably earns more than you and it stings.
She could be doing better if she didn’t buy the car brand new like that, but she still saves and invests most of her money now. So, as long as she keeps living like that, she can still live well financially. Especially since she makes 6 figures a year! I’m almost 30, with a degree, and I’m still not there yet even though I have been living frugally and investing since I was in my mid 20s. I wish her and her kid the best! 🙏❤️
“How I make $400k a year destroying our youth’s mental health”
That would be the parents that allow their kids to be on social media. Stop blaming others for your failure as a parent.
Exactly 😂
@@VerleanHurdnope it’s both
The jealousy is real
As someone in the space these apps are made to be addictive, but if you aren't watching your kids usage that's your own problem. I wouldn't let anyone that's in school on these apps considering they're using behavioral psychology to keep people on the app. Adults also should check in with themselves to make sure they aren't addicted.
it is called "if they don't see the coffin, they won't cry". Meaning, if they pay you $150k and the person doing the same job gets $400k, they won't care. But if you have a counter offer that is $380k and they have to have you, they will pay $390k or $400k. If you say you want to leave, it is possible they may find another person, unless if the project is to be done in December and now it is August and they have no time to find and train somebody. Otherwise, they always make the job nature "replaceable" and then treat the person like trash
Sora Lee has appeared in the Korean Netflix show "Love After Divorce" Season 4!
Good to see u here!
8:55 I love her parenting talk- giving your kids chores and engaging with them, helping them getting interest in learning things. A few of my girl friends seem doing too much for their kids and the kids are getting too comfortable and too lazy, also the kids kind of miss out opportunities to learn in little things. She is great! However, after finishing watching, I'm still left wondering, how does she make $400k a year working at TikTok? 🤣
If a parent make themselves slaves for their kid then the kid will have a master type mentality
You deserve what you have, you earned it hard!! 👍👍 So proud!! Respect!!👏👏
❤❤❤
This is the natural course when you are intelligent and driven. Very inspirational!
@travelvideozif all it takes is luck why are you not in her position, wealthy and successful, as opposed to sitting on TH-cam commenting about someone else’s life?
@travelvideoz i think it is both. i think for anyone who watched the full video, it would be reasonable to say she seems to be quite intelligent and driven. she got a very good degree that not everyone would be able to get, she reads and educates herself on topics she doesnt know much about, she is very conscious about how she raises her son, and she recognizes the financial mistakes she made and seems like she would not repeat the same mistake again. however, i also think that not everyone that is intelligent and driven will necessarily find themselves in the place that she did. things happened to work out for her, when she got laid off she got. a new job two days later. this isn't usually what happens, who knows, if she didn't have that new offer, things could look very diffferent today
@@missfrosty98 Finally a sensible comment on this thread. Also, if you prioritize family (spouse , kids, etc) your chances do go down of reaching this level of success. Keep in mind how much time she does sacrifice to also accomplish this but her priorities are those to each their own. Divorce and fast success do have a correlation in many cases.
Not really. TikTok is an asian owned company and she’s Asian, which has a lot to do with how she got that position and money. She’s hard working, but there’s more to it that that
This has to be one of the realistic vids I’ve seen in last few years. she was dead honest about things, mistakes she made.
Very inspirational! This is the American dream! I think everyone in America who sits around and complain about how this world is unfair should watch this video and think about the adversity this woman had to overcome being a minority woman immigrant, donating her eggs to pay for her studies and better her situation.
congratulations on your success!
Am i the only one confused about her statement about working on her relationship with money but also bought herself a 4k necklace 🤔
To be fair, her relationship with money is a journey that she’s still working on. And regarding the 4K necklace, it was to celebrate a milestone. Would I have personally purchased a 4K necklace? No. But it was what she wanted, so she purchased it, and that’s okay. It doesn’t sound like she’s spending 4K on miscellaneous things all the time and doing so every month, but rather, this was a one-time thing.
At one point she said she sometimes thinks she needs to be more and make more money. That coupled with how she grew up I think for her having a health relationship with money would be not idolizing it or worrying about it too much, spending it on enjoyable things and not feeling bad about her purchase. She's killing it
Wow! I really appreciate her honesty and drive.
Is it just me or is it crazy that an individual with an MBA didn't know how to throw money into a brokerage account? I guess the first step is really sparked from interest.
Yes. I know finance people that know how to
wow, sora's story is incredible! really respect her journey, transparency, and work ethic. hope to meet her one day in the tech industry!!
Love her! I wish her all the best in life. May God bless you and your son. Keep going!
Glad she's grown since her divorce and has been able to learn about personal finance. Hope the future goes well for her.
She's a white worshipper.. not surprised they got divorced. Now she's a leftover single mom with a weird looking kid
I would love to get her ex-husband's POV. Come on CNBC interview him for the 2nd follow-up "where are they now?" segment. This woman has multiple mental disorders and needs help.
Interview her ex-husband please.
like... what kind of mental disorder? She seems fine to me...
@@Charlieprivatevids I knew something was off when the biggest slice of her pie was selling the home she “co-owned” with her ex-husband. We all know what that means!
@@Slashed888 what does it mean explain?
@@Mysteryboy0007 It means she married a rich dude and then divorced him to steal half of his hard earned assets.
Haters are gonna hate. They are jealous is all
Yup.
tf is wrong with these comments??? dont like tiktok? ok, then move along. dont like her choices? ok, then move along. nobody is asking you to date her or be like her. i earn more than her as a software engineer and dont feel the need to judge her like whatever, doesnt affect me. some of y'all seem jealous.
What is she running away from? All humans have to do is farm the land share the food, doctor and plumbing? What real skills does this chick have other than making money. What is she making this money for?The real skills are the stuff she’s spending the money on. Food/farmin, healthcare/doctor, toilet and water/plumbing.
The comment section reeks of jealousy from mostly weak men whose only aspiration in life is to hate on successful women.
@@cryusratu2573 weird comment. why do you care so much about some random lady's "real skills"? why are you responding to me? im not her, and i won't know the answer to that, but if i had to wager a guess, in 2024, there are a lot more skills needed to keep society running than just the ones you mentioned. also you seem like a bot spam commenting this everywhere. maybe get a life?
@@crystaleefyffe1230 agreed, let the trolls troll. not that they're gonna be successful themselves with that attitude.
Software engineers work hard. What exactly is she doing for $400k as marketing of TikTok. Not jealous or mad because she’s found a way to do nothing much and win. But these tech people are always overpaid. That’s why so many are laid off at once.
Let’s face it, some of the hate here is also due to her race. If she were an attractive white woman there wouldn’t be nearly as much negativity
Global head of product marketing making 400k, the number seems very low considering that the job is in tech.
It's a job in tech but it's not a tech job.
So interesting to see this new perspective, congrats to her, well deserved
She's winning in a whole bunch of arenas. Inspiring for sure 🙌🏾
7:34 why didn’t you pay cash for the car? Why would you want to have a monthly payment?
BIG mistake letting someone else control your money without doing your own frequent checks. Stay on top of it. Even in a good marriage a spouse could become ill or die. You need to know what you have and how to manage it.
Shes getting paid way too much for what she does. Tiktok doesnt sell products. The people on the app sell products. She basically does nothing and gets paid 400k
You have no idea what you’re talking about… in tech, the app itself and its various features are a product. Their livestreams itself are products (not to mention, TikTok likely earns commission from the sales made during those livestreams, like QVC infomercials.) The For You homepage is a product, powered by its own algorithm. Etc etc…
big mad 😂😂😂😂
She succeeded this is very inspiring wishing her the best especially coming out of an DV relationship she’s doing everything right and being there for her son with her partner she deserves happiness
The "have more, do more" mindset is what is going to destroy us.
She is self destroying herself
@@HebryNegga-wy4zr some people are built differently. But speaking from personal and observed experience this level of output typically is only sustained for a short period of time.
@@HebryNegga-wy4zr Nothing about this video states or shows that she is destroying herself!
It's be more, dream more, and do more.
You can do it all. Be a mom, work hard, teach your kids, etc.
Your self-defeating mindset is what'll destroy us.
@@HebryNegga-wy4zryou’re destroying yourself. Such a Negative Nancy.
One of the best and most sincere interviews I have seen. Wishing you well Sora!
