I really had to go to the depths of hell to think of some of these traumatic money lessons 😭 should I make more financial vlogs or videos like this?? lmk + hope y'all enjoy and learn from my mistakes 😅

[@xL0V4BL3]

LOVED hearing these tips they were so relatable! I live in a HCOL in Canada so a lot of these experiences are shared, so many things we don't think about. I think my first grocery run moving out put me in the trenches because I did NOT realize buying all the basics that last a while, household items like TP and towels, added up SO fast. Making a budget has been so helpful, agreed so much with your tips/learning experiences!! would love more financial vlogs too , love your videos!

[@sibymiller]

My husband and I just moved to Manhattan, so this kind of videos are one of the most valuable ones for us!👏🏻 Thank you for all the great content you share Mohuya 💖

[@ko_grindz]

Thank you so much for this financial advice. The market right now is insane and as it gets warmer it’s hard to budget because you go out so much you want to enjoy the weather.

[@mohuyakhan]

ughhh tell me about it!! warmer weather makes me go crazy haha

[@dr.drishti]

YES!! to the financial advice vid. I am moving to Chicago but I am coming from abroad so I'd really like to know more about credit cards and how to use it to your advantage. Loved the vid!

@@mohuyakhan ahhh, mohuya!! you’re honestly my fav youtuber & i always enjoy watching your videos! ❤️ thank you!

[@chi2om]

Great love this video. My money mistakes have definitely been never budgeting. If I have a job, I basically never check my account unless it notifies me I’m running low. Luckily I only have debit (I’m so scared of debt). I do need to learn how to build credit and save. Also build passive income. No more shopping what’s popular too.

[@mohuyakhan]

yup, not checking enough or checking too much is usually a trauma response or insecurity with money. I'm working on that too!

[@amanda_bliss]

Thank you for always sharing your advice ❤️❤️ I love your videos so much you’ve inspired me to start a KZbin channel and I’ll start posting soon. Love youuu❤️❤️❤️

Ask your friend (the one with the credit card that eats out) and SHARE what credit card that is….PLEASE!!! 🙏🏻

[@mohuyakhan]

it's the Bilt card :)

[@sibymiller]

@@mohuyakhan THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 💓

[@rocket4444]

i completely disagree with your point about rent. this is probably one of the only cities where paying over 30% is reasonable because most of us don't have cars. the 30% rule assumes that you have a car to pay for. before i moved to NYC, my transportation costs were over $1000/month

[@mohuyakhan]

that's true too! What I said is based on the standard and from people I know, but it's whatever you feel comfortable with!!
