Hi Karen. That was a surprising video that most people would not share on TH-cam, so well done on your honesty on your life from work, income, likes, dislikes, goals and so much more. Take a bow and pat yourself on the back, because I am hoping that video was very helpful and therapeutic for you when you just talk it out. Yes? I still have a minute left on the video, but I noticed you didn't mention anything about your social goals with the exception of a few family things. With your work schedule (7 crazy days a week) I am guessing your social life is not where you would like it to be (friends, dating, etc.), yes? Maybe your travel related collabs might be something you enjoy and make for some happier days for you, I know that they probably give me and your other subscribers enjoyment. Ok, again thanks for sharing and I hope you get what you are looking for today, tomorrow, this year and the years to come. 🙂😊
Wow new information as well. The last minute of your video was helpful (like, comment and watch the ads, which I usually skip; my bad). I can at least remember to do that for sure.
Why dont you Lyft or Uber instead of Walmart? You make up your own hrs and is much more flexible. This way you take time off whenever you want and if you need more money, then you work extra hrs...
You are in one of the most expensive states, if you’re not willing to move and create your own happiness then you will always be living to work. That’s no way to live. I know you wanna stay close to your family but you can always visit them if you’re not working 7 days a week. Other than that? If you do stay, get the hellllllllll out of Walmart, I worked for both Walmart and Sam’s Club and they are by FAR the worst people in my 30yrs of working. Go to some mom and pop store or else just DoorDash again, you’ll make basically the same amount not having to work daily. Just my 2 cents. Hope you figure it all out
Most states that have cheaper rent the minimum wage is very low compared to California so that is something I need to think about. I got deactivated from door dash.
@ ya it’s def state dependent….well area dependent too. Like I’m in Ohio, not in a major city, about an hour east of Cleveland. Walmart here starts at what you’re making now, but also for what you’re paying for your studio you can get a 2 bedroom apt. The economy is crappy everywhere but it really is area dependent. They are paying Chik Fil A workers the same amount that cheap A$$ Sam Walton is paying you guys lol…honestly they should be embarrassed they are paying people that wage, esp in Cali. They are the legit devil I swear
I just commented something similar! The only way to live comfortably in California is if you’re rich. I know people who make $150K a year who are barely making ends meet there. It’s gotten insane. I’m so glad I left that state. I still have friends and family there who I miss dearly, but my mental health has improved so much.
can you add up the cost of your vacations and weekend trips the last year probably wouldn't need a part time job not everyone travels to enjoy there life
I am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I never got days off for years as well. It has been tough for so many with this crazy economy. I just signed up for insurance. 100 more per paycheck. That is crazy. 200 a month. And I just have 2. I know some employees went up 150 per paycheck. Praying things will start to get better . Gas today here was $2.89. That is a start.
Same! I wish I had time off, and did not have to work so much. My family is all on the east coast, I only get to see the 2x a year, so I feel your pain
Sounds like you need the income from the second job so maybe you should look for another part time job that you would enjoy. I think that would help a lot. Your lack of focus could also be symptom of peri menopause.
Yes it is so hard trying to get ahead nowadays it seems. You have two jobs and I can't find one LOL Seriously though, I feel your pain. I hope your channel and mine both do well my friend :) Martin
Thursday through Sunday at your second job is a lot, that's the whole weekend! Can you cut back 1 day? Or only work Saturday or Sunday but not both. That way you have 1 whole day to yourself a week.
California is unlivable. The price of living is honestly disgusting. Why don’t you move to Texas near your sister where it’s more affordable? And then you’ll have extra money to fly to California to visit your mom and other sister. Living in California forces you to work non stop just to have a roof over your head. That’s not living that’s slavery. You need to prioritize your quality of life.
That is very hard working 2 jobs with no days off. Everyone needs time off to recharge and to take care of ourselves. It’s so important. You don’t want to look back in 10 years and be sad you don’t enjoy life.
It's funny because just watching your videos, me and my girlfriend.We're in walmart this morning and I asked her about the point system.. She said it's the worst job she's ever had in her life.. Everything that you have said in your video's about Walmart is exactly truthful!. Lol You have so much experience with retail.Why would you not go to like b j's costgo home depot?
I'm glad you do get to have some short trips. Maybe get a small pet, even a fish. I had a "feeder" gold fish from Walmart... A few actually, but one lived 7 years. It was always excited to see me. Probably just wanted food...but even so, it was nice to have around.
I wish I had an answer for you Karen that would help but unfortunately I don’t🥹 The area you live in doesn’t help your living expenses situation either bc living in CA is so expensive and the cost of everything is thru the roof these days but your area is worse🤷🏻♀️ I’m praying for you, I told you it greatly saddens me that you have to work 2 jobs plus do YT, it’s a lot. Best wishes, I hope that something changes for the better🤞🙏♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️🙏
I recommend looking up guided meditation videos that deal with putting you in focus and motivation. Meditation is for everyone, but maybe try just a five or 10 minute video.
@@karebeareats my response is actually that meditation isn’t for everyone. honestly, I didn’t think it was for me until I started taking it in small doses. I also recommend repetition. taking it slow and let it easily become a part of your life. I have been on a mental health journey and a year ago I never would’ve thought I would even recommend guided meditation. I know you are really into that kind of stuff anyways so I bet you will do great. good luck with TH-cam. I really do appreciate all your content as you’re always pretty open and honest.
Best wishes, Karen! You are such an inspiration to me since finding your channel! I love how grounded and relatable you are as a youtuber, who puts themselves out there on social media, l know it’s not easy!
I say quit Walmart and work Amazon flex you work own hours and of course use your own car and I do believe you can work the area you want a couple of our friends do it and they like it… I told you to look into Kaiser they pay very well up there as a receptionist then you can quit your full time job
I signed up for Amazon flex but they said it might take a year for openings in my area. Kaiser sounds like a good idea but I hate answering phones lol.
@@karebeareats you’re old. you should’ve worked harder in your 20s lol. no husband? like you aren’t a housewife? pathetic . i’m 20 and i’m a housewife 💋 never have to work a day in my life and im so happy. i love knowing ur miserable
I drive a cab and make good money. I'm in a small town tho. Maybe you could do Uber or Door Dash? I think you can make your own schedule. Just a thought.
I don't really like driving people. I got deactivated from door dash and tried signing up for uber eats but keep getting an error message. Maybe I need to call them.
@karebeareats I don't know how Uber eats works but it's worth a shot calling them. In the upside you got a lot of responses on this video! Maybe do more of this?
I think you should focus on the positive. You went on more vacations this year than many people have since covid. Texas, Las Vegas, Santa Barbara. Did your sister invite you over during your vacations, too? You seem to be with family members often. It's not like you are working 2 full time jobs, either. Isn't Walmart 16 hrs a week? Ironic you are complaining about your jobs while on vacation. You don't know how good you have it. Sorry, but true.
You made some good points. I don't usually take that many trips in a year. For some reason I did this year and I'm also renting a cabin this thanksgiving for 2 days. I currently work 16 hours a week at Walmart but I'm increasing my hours on the weekends because I want a bigger apartment.
Not famous but a bit of cash. I hear ya, Karen! I hope you can work it out as a full time TH-camr. I'm sure you can make it on this one channel. I'll check out your mukbang one. See ya, cheers!
Why aren’t you building your Riki business? Aren’t you paying for studio space? Don’t you make $100 a session… 30 min? Bay Area, people can afford to get Riki
For the last 2 years my Reiki business has declined. I barely see 3 or 4 clients a year which is bad considering business costs like office space, website and insurance fees.
Oh gosh beautiful yes totally you work way too hard and it's not worth it as you are not getting to have YOU Time. Can you maybe move somewhere cheaper? Also - the way Walmart treats you is totally disgusting how you are treated. Can you afford to quit one job and live from your TH-cam and one other job for now..... You need at least 1 full day off all work to rest and just take some time for you beautiful lady. 💛
I'm considering options at the moment for a better life. Quitting one job would be hard at the moment because I want to move into a bigger apartment which would cost more money.
I want your channel to soar. You deserve it.
Thank you!
Quit Walmart and Just move in with your mom? That’s going to save a lot of money with rent and helping your mom is a nice thing to do .
I will consider that possibility but currently my mom has a roommate.
Your channels deserve so much more and so do you!! I feel you try to find some time for yourself also ❤
Thank you so much!!
Sending you hugs Karen. Thanks for working so hard. We appreciate you!!!❤
Thank you so much!

Yes it's true I don't have much time for dating or friends but always make time for family. I'm hoping one day I can only work one job.
Wow new information as well. The last minute of your video was helpful (like, comment and watch the ads, which I usually skip; my bad). I can at least remember to do that for sure.
You're the best!
Why dont you Lyft or Uber instead of Walmart? You make up your own hrs and is much more flexible. This way you take time off whenever you want and if you need more money, then you work extra hrs...
I have considered that. I would have to use miles on my car though and not sure if it’s safe having strangers in my car.
You are in one of the most expensive states, if you’re not willing to move and create your own happiness then you will always be living to work. That’s no way to live.

@@Cell-Jai Oh wow so Walmart in Ohio is paying $17/hour?
@ yep…that’s just the starting wage. Even Sheetz (east coast version of like a WAWA) starts at $15
I just commented something similar! The only way to live comfortably in California is if you’re rich. I know people who make $150K a year who are barely making ends meet there. It’s gotten insane. I’m so glad I left that state.

Yes life is currently hard at the moment. I'm sorry your insurance went up. Hopefully it will get better soon!
Same! I wish I had time off, and did not have to work so much. My family is all on the east coast, I only get to see the 2x a year, so I feel your pain
I'm sorry you don't see your family much.
Sounds like you need the income from the second job so maybe you should look for another part time job that you would enjoy. I think that would help a lot. Your lack of focus could also be symptom of peri menopause.
That's a good idea. I'll look into that!
Yes it is so hard trying to get ahead nowadays it seems. You have two jobs and I can't find one LOL Seriously though, I feel your pain. I hope your channel and mine both do well my friend :) Martin
Walmart is always hiring! Also try Home Depot. Where I live they are hiring for $20.hour.
Thursday through Sunday at your second job is a lot, that's the whole weekend! Can you cut back 1 day? Or only work Saturday or Sunday but not both. That way you have 1 whole day to yourself a week.
Yes I'm trying to figure out how to get Sundays off.
There are definitely companies out there that will pay more and not have a point system.. Just normal crew vacation time and sick time off..
Thank you! I need to look into that.
California is unlivable.
The price of living is honestly disgusting. Why don’t you move to Texas near your sister where it’s more affordable?

That’s not living that’s slavery. You need to prioritize your quality of life.
That’s something to think about.
You already have a full-time job Walmart.Is not the end all be all.. You can definitely find another job.
That’s true.
That is very hard working 2 jobs with no days off. Everyone needs time off to recharge and to take care of ourselves. It’s so important. You don’t want to look back in 10 years and be sad you don’t enjoy life.
That's true.
i feel for you. worked 2 jobs myself, for about 2yrs. 🙏🏾 about it, ask the Lord to work it out for you.
Thank you! I am praying to God!
Thanks for the raw video Karen.❤ I’m so sorry you are so burnt out. Hopefully things will get better soon for you!❤
I hope so too!

I don't have bj's near me, costco closes too early for a second job but I have been considering home depot.
I'm glad you do get to have some short trips. Maybe get a small pet, even a fish. I had a "feeder" gold fish from Walmart... A few actually, but one lived 7 years. It was always excited to see me. Probably just wanted food...but even so, it was nice to have around.

He’s currently in jail.

My asmr videos don't get lot of views but I might consider doing more asmr videos.
So you talk about walmart and that you have another job from like 824 thirty
Maybe you’ll love it if you have three jobs again??? 😂
You can door dash and make more..
I got deactivated from door dash.
You can definitely get a better job than Walmart.I don't understand why you don't make the move.
