I would love to work for Accenture as well once i graduate, but eventually I want to start my own business and become the first black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company
Natalie, it's so awesome that you're so humble about how you saved your entire Accenture salary, but don't discount yourself! yeah you have a ton of money saved up (and I get you're trying to say it without bragging) but you also were basically working 2 full time jobs and that's how you did it! I know people can be judgemental on the internet, but you worked hard for that money girl!
I got laid off because of Covid. It's been heartbreaking, but seeing you hustle and succeed is so inspiring! I definitely wish I had saved better but it's a lesson learned. Quite literally being forced to pursue my side hustles full time! It's kind of a cool opportunity!
I quit a job once and thought it was the end of the world, but it would’ve been worse to stay in a place that made me miserable! It’s awesome that you did what you thought was best for you 💜
My parents never pushed for a job that I was passionate about either! it was always about financial ability, i'm currently majoring in business. Also, your voice is very smoothing!!
Your constant gratitude and lack of taking things for granted (across MANY videos) earns so much of my respect! I want to be like you! (I mean, of course I want to be myself, but with inspiration and good qualities I can learn from you.😊)
Just started my TH-cam channel and trying to balance it with my 9-5 and girl this gave me hope cause it’s definitely not easy!! The fact that you were able to double your Accenture salary AND afford rent in NYC is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing 🤞🏼✨
also, I LOVE the fact that you don't spend so much money, I don't care what other people do but it's sometimes hard to relate to TH-camrs when they spend ridiculous amounts on designer bags and shoes and most of us want to see other young adults budgeting and saving up 😊
Natalie Barbu -- you are the biggest inspiration in my life! I can't thank you enough for sharing your insight on creating a life of your own and doing what you love. you have no idea how grateful I am for you & your videos!! super excited to be joining your patreon xo
I am so incredibly happy for you. I used to think the only way to success was going to college, getting a degree and getting a 9-5. I was domesticated to fit and confirm to "society's rules". I no longer resonate with the the corporate lifestyle of trading time for money. I value you my happiness just as much as hard work. Since starting an online business, I am much happier, surrounded by the right individuals and have more time and financial freedom. My best advice to anyone who sees this is to dream big because who is going to dream big for you. Do the things that scare you the most because thats where the growth happens. No one is forcing you not to accomplish your goals. So do this for yourself and nobody else!
The degree is now something you can fall back on. I'll never forget my dad saying that to me. It made me feel a lot better about having such a difficult time finding work in the field I went to school for. Also love the video of you at 15 so cute lol 😊
I LOVE 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 TRANSPARENCY 👏🏻 IN THIS VIDEO!!! Thank you so much Natalie for being so open about your personal life, it allows younger people to see that pursuing your dreams isn’t impossible and what better example than for you to show it to them! I do hope and look forward to watching an investment video from you as I would love to hear all about it. Thanks for all that you do ♥️
You are so humble Natalie! I appreciate your honesty and candidness. I’m sure you would never have to go back to corporate, but it must feel so good to know you can.
your drive and motivation and passion inspires me so much! You make me want to WORK HARD and be so dedicated and sometimes I really need that so thank you so much! I really hope your future endeavors and work, work out so week for you! You deserve the best💕
Yay! I’ve been following you for years. I currently work in consulting and was so surprised to hear you left, but it’s so reassuring to see you so happy. You’re doing amazing!
OH MY GOD the video of you from when u were 15 saying you wanted to be a stylist was the CUTEST thing i've ever seen in my life. Such a young hustler and such a good idea I'm shook. "you guys can talk to your parents and if you are under 18" oh my goodnessss so much respect.
Could you talk about what how you create your budget based on % of income? Ex what % do you like to invest, what % do you like to save vs what % do you give yourself for fun things or clothes? Would love to get your advice on that as I keep modifying my budget!
Thank you for sharing. I've been in the corporate world for close to 5 years so I am definitely well versed in that area. I am actually currently working at Accenture after working for IBM for 3 years. So I can relate to some of the points that you made. I think that it is always inspiring to see another woman, like myself, coming from the tech and engineering space create their own business. It's not exactly my goal to own my business but financial stability always has been. I would love to hear more about your experience in investing and potentially buying a house. I am at that point financially where I've saved a good amount to start investing. Love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!
I really appreciate the update. That’s always cool to see how things have worked out. Glad it’s been going so well for you. I’m working on my long-term plan now 😁
Haha I relate to the whole watching TH-cam at 2x speed! Also it’s so cool how things have worked out so well for you since you met your boyfriend through Accenture!
What are some of the lessons from your job that you still use today? Do you think you'd be as successful/ where you are today if you hadn't gotten the corporate experience/engineering degree for skills and learn and drive your need for creativity? Would love to hear more thoughts in a part 2 of the video! Lots of great advice for young professionals in general!
THIS IS GOING TO BE ME!!! I’m working on a couples side hustles to get me out of my corporate job hopefully soon!!! You’re such an inspiration!! I admire you and your journey much!!
You won't ever have to worry about going back to corporate. Why? Because I'd hire you in a heartbeat to manage and oversee my 200-plus rental units. I'll have to find someone one day because I'm getting old and tired. But I'd turn it over to you in a snap of my fingers because that's the confidence I have in you. You probably wouldn't want this job, but I'm just letting you know you have a home if the bottom ever falls out on TH-cam (it probably won't). Thanks for your uploads!!
I changed career so many times, and am now wanting to write a novel plus study real estate. At the end of the day do something that makes you happy (& you can survive on) because you only life this life once...so might as well love what you do!! Thank you Natalie for sharing your journey with us, and being quite open about your life/finances & etc. I think it's great to show your audience how to make better financial decisions, I wish I was wiser about money when I was younger...but working on that now. Love your lots, sending much love from Toronto!!💕💕💕
Love this video so much and how honest and truthful you are about your situation! You should be so proud of yourself girl! You are literally my inspiration to start a TH-cam channel after many years of contemplating it! 🙌🏻💞
Omg I just found you and sooo wish I discovered you sooner! I graduated from NC State last year and I have always wanted to work for myself and I am in a corporate job right now (p.s. GO PACK! ♥️🐾🐺). My parents want me to stay w my company because of financial stability too 😭 I just started my side business and aspire to be independent like you one day!
This was so interesting to watch. I'm also very happy and thankful to have a corporate job, especially in these times, but in the back of my mind I want to start my own business one day! 🙌
I love you Natalie! This video was so good ❤️ I started watching you and you helped me decide I want to be an industrial engineer. But I am so proud of you venturing off on your own and it being so successful! That’s awesome I wish you all the best luck on your future endeavors 😊🥰
I would love to work for Accenture as well once i graduate, but eventually I want to start my own business and become the first black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company
That would be AMAZING. Accenture is a great company from my experience. Def has its downsides like all companies, but I liked my experience
Yess you can do it and you’ll probs be a better ceo than most
meghan sadler thank you. That means a lot
Chima Louis of course girl! Rooting for you
You can reach your goal!! Go for it girl
Natalie, it's so awesome that you're so humble about how you saved your entire Accenture salary, but don't discount yourself! yeah you have a ton of money saved up (and I get you're trying to say it without bragging) but you also were basically working 2 full time jobs and that's how you did it! I know people can be judgemental on the internet, but you worked hard for that money girl!
Thanks! It’s def weird to talk about
Hell yeah she did!
That clip of you talking about how you wanted to be a stylist was sooooo cute!!
IKR !!!
I know I loved that!
Such an entrepreneurial mind, mad respek
I got laid off because of Covid. It's been heartbreaking, but seeing you hustle and succeed is so inspiring! I definitely wish I had saved better but it's a lesson learned. Quite literally being forced to pursue my side hustles full time! It's kind of a cool opportunity!
it's refreshing to find someone on youtube who's so transparent. much appreciated. congrats on all your success! being your own boss is huge!!
I quit a job once and thought it was the end of the world, but it would’ve been worse to stay in a place that made me miserable! It’s awesome that you did what you thought was best for you 💜
I’m glad you did what was best too!
Natalie Barbu Thank you, life’s too short to stick around doing something that brings misery!
My parents never pushed for a job that I was passionate about either! it was always about financial ability, i'm currently majoring in business. Also, your voice is very smoothing!!
Your constant gratitude and lack of taking things for granted (across MANY videos) earns so much of my respect! I want to be like you! (I mean, of course I want to be myself, but with inspiration and good qualities I can learn from you.😊)
Congrats! always putting in the work will get you so far!
I appreciate your transparency related to finances! Especially from a female's perspective.
Just started my TH-cam channel and trying to balance it with my 9-5 and girl this gave me hope cause it’s definitely not easy!! The fact that you were able to double your Accenture salary AND afford rent in NYC is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing 🤞🏼✨
Me too! Motherhood and youtube while consulting! It’s a lot of work and gets tiring but so worth it 🤍
You are actually one of my favorite TH-camr. You are so real and raw.
You are such an inspiration to all young girls out there!!! Really appreciate your authenticity and transparency. Hope you have a beautiful day :)
love finance videos! hope you’ll do more!
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU🤍
also, I LOVE the fact that you don't spend so much money, I don't care what other people do but it's sometimes hard to relate to TH-camrs when they spend ridiculous amounts on designer bags and shoes and most of us want to see other young adults budgeting and saving up 😊
I am so proud of you!!!! I've been watching your videos ever since you were in college and you've come so far!!!💛💛

Crazy to think that was a year ago! Can't wait to see all you accomplish in the next year!
I’d also love to see an income report video. Those are so motivating
Same! I love to watch money videos lol 😂 But I definitely also think that money should be talked about more openly.
OH MY GOD the video of you from when u were 15 saying you wanted to be a stylist was the CUTEST thing i've ever seen in my life. Such a young hustler and such a good idea I'm shook. "you guys can talk to your parents and if you are under 18" oh my goodnessss so much respect.
loved this, loved the honesty and transparency. Im happy to see you happy and doing well a year later 💕

You are the most transparent TH-camr ever!!! So happy for you and your one year of working for yourself! ❤️

Loved this! Wish you would talk more about numbers, as a 23-year old girl trying to figure out how to budget this life, it would help a lot!
I have a budgeting video up on my channel too :)
you are such a genuine and humble youtuber, really appreciate your transparency on finances 🙂
You’re so inspiring Natalie! Keep up the good work ^^
You won't ever have to worry about going back to corporate. Why? Because I'd hire you in a heartbeat to manage and oversee my 200-plus rental units.

Would you be open to a call on your real estate experience? Would love to do an informational interview if you are open to it!
Love your videos and how open you are. Your drive and ambitions keeps me going!
so early but how has it been a YEAR?! love your videos Natalie!!!

I changed career so many times, and am now wanting to write a novel plus study real estate.

I loved this video! It inspired me a lot to keep going and push through the difficult times on the path to my dreams. 🤩✨
You are so smart and humble. You'll be successful in anything you do!
Honestly love the transparancy!!
NC real estate is so much cheaper than NY. My bf and I are buying a place to rent out in NC/SC soon!
Yup, I will NEVER buy a place in nyc or at least not any time soon bc it’s SO expensive
Exciting love nc
Please do a video about managing time for people with actual jobs with side hustles AND including self care cause I think I’m going crazy !!
You look so happy and I can't believe it's been a year since you quit your job.
I would love you to do some more budgeting videos.
This video was SO insightful and also so interesting! Thank you for everything that you do. You’re so inspiring!
this was very insightful to watch! thanks Natalie :)

You motivate me so much ❤️
I would love to move to New York one day and your videos have helped me so much to get to know more about it all! Love your videos 💖
Aw awesome! I hope you can!
Please do a video about finances and how to be smart with your money / money you make on TH-cam
This was so interesting to watch. I'm also very happy and thankful to have a corporate job, especially in these times, but in the back of my mind I want to start my own business one day! 🙌
I love you Natalie! This video was so good ❤️ I started watching you and you helped me decide I want to be an industrial engineer. But I am so proud of you venturing off on your own and it being so successful! That’s awesome I wish you all the best luck on your future endeavors 😊🥰
