      I would really like to see family stories. I'm in the older end of the millennial generation and I have a teen daughter. Those expenses look entirely different and most, if not all of these episodes (at least of the ones I've watched), while enjoyable, aren't at all relatable nor motivating because they are so unrealistic when you have kids.

    Loving the more realistic Millennial Money episodes. I was starting to think that a salary of 100K+, multiple lucrative side hustles and a house by 30 is normal. She is a more refreshing role model: making it by just fine on an average salary, giving back to her family and charity, doing something she loves, and on her way up!!

      ​@@BenShope Being in debt does not equate to stealing. She's paying her credit card off incrementally. It isn't realistic to pay off your debt with every last dollar of your expendable income. Giving back to parents and charity can often be a more pressing matter. So good on you, Carlina!

    As other people pointed out, Carlina needs to separate her business expenses from her personal budget. I know she has an issue with credit cards but she needs to devote one of those cards to only business expenses and use a bookkeeping program like Quickbooks. That way when it's tax time she can get as many deductions as possible. She can also go a step further and make a LLC or a S Corp and pay herself and her mom a salary. Boom! More tax breaks.

    She seems like an awesome person. For those who don't live in LA: 52K means you are treading water. If she hasn't already, she should talk to a tax professional about writing off her cooking-show-related expenses. The pie chart suggests this is part of her personal budget. But it should be structured as a business expense with funds from a separate account that should not be commingled. Keep those receipts!

Her giving is admirable, but without a solid emergency fund and reasonable level of debt (and NO credit card debt), she'll find herself in serious financial trouble should, say, Nickelodeon go through a "restructuring" leaving her without a job.

    personally, I would save that $200 donations and up the savings or open up an emergency fund. That's a huge chunk of donations......or even give that $200 to her mom. OR, $50-$100 donations and the rest to mom.

    They cited her typical monthly budget at $1,968, which included savings and investments. That calculates out to $23,616 annually. They're missing at least ten to fifteen thousand dollars of where her money is going after taxes on $55k salary
    Not that it's anyone's business, but why use her and her budget if you're not going to give all the figures?

  • @CW-yj8ce
    @CW-yj8ce 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    This is a more realistic salary for most. Her story is more typical and relatable. With her positive personality, she will greatly improve her life in a few years.
    I always tell younger people don’t worry about a late start, 10 years will pass no matter what you do so even if it take you 7 years to get your degree you will have a degree if you continue to work at it. Everything was going great but life happens and I had to start from almost zero again at age 32. I still remember that low point in my life but looking back there were only 2 choices, to give up and just cry how life is unfair or try to improve my situation. It was a hard 15+years but I’m more than fine now and looking forward to retirement soon. ~30 years seem to pass in a blink of an eye and I plan for next few decades to be enjoyable because of all I had done to ensure it.
    Stay safe and best regards to all.

    Glad she's doing well for herself now. In perspective, $50k in Jacksonville (single income) is considered "above the poverty line" so living comfortable but not extravagantly. Raise your hand if you live in Jax and don't make $50k+/yr 🙄🖐️
