HOW I Afford LUXURY & QUITTING YouTube.

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hey friends, we have a scammer in the comments who is impersonating me and telling you you’ve won a prize. I’ll never ask any of you for money or announce winners in the YT comment section xxxx❤️❤️

[@brynhsu2008]

Sophie, your videos 5 years ago inspired me to begin a career in a creative agency and I've absolutely loved it! Thank you for literally changing my life for the better :)

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! It’s like a dream career!😍xx

[@Sara-iy3oz]

How do we start applying if we have no experience at all i this field? Also which video are you talking about? Thank you

[@brynhsu2008]

@@Sara-iy3oz I took a short 2-month graduate marketing course at a local university, and that course also linked me up with an internship. My internship became a full-time job and now I'm at a mid-senior position at a larger agency :) hope this helps!

There is never anything smug or big headed about you Sophie. You have always stayed humble and that's why people like you so much. You're relatable. 😘😘😘

[@kh.1756]

Sophie I am just going to say you’re one of the most humble and inspirational Luxury Vlogger!!! You empower people, there is no smug about you love from Canada :)

[@Chanelboateng]

Love this video sis, sooo inspiring.. you are beyond humble even with everything you have been blessed with. Love you loadsss and so glad you are my friend ❤️

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

I’m so glad to have you as a friend lovely Chanel 🙏❤️xx

[@Zeerokool]

Yaaasss! I love this! Remove the stigma of being wealthy. Being an entrepreneur did not give me more time, it gave flexibility. I still have a ways to go before I hit my goals but putting in the work is key. You inspire me to keep going! Much love to you and your family 💕

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

What a lovely comment, thank you my friend! 🙏❤️ I wish you a lovely rest of the week xxx

[@AdrienneMint]

I didn’t know there’s a stigma to being wealthy.

[@bethjensen]

Sophie, you’re the most candid, and humble KZbinr I’ve had the pleasure of watching for years now. You seem to lead a very fulfilling life with your husband, and your work. You don’t buy luxury just to “buy,” rather you are quite thoughtful about the purchases. I love your videos and vlogs, as they paint a picture of your life, in an open way.

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Thank you for such lovely feedback Beth, I do appreciate all of you so much xx

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Even though I don’t buy as near as much as you when it comes to luxury I still feel like people are questioning how I afford it. The truth is that my husband and I were extremely careful in our early days together. It’s only the past five to ten years that we’ve felt comfortable to spend on ourselves. We haven’t had a mortgage in years and we’ve also been able to buy a second home for when we retire. We feel confident enough in our financial status that we know we can spend without going into debt. I would advise everyone to put your future in mind before spending too much or anything on luxury. This is coming from someone who is closely approaching 60.😖😖😖

[@KarinaSwan]

Can you maybe share how were you able to save for a second house? I'm trying to save for a second house, (don't have the first one anymore) and with the new market and everything else, it seems every time I get closer to anywhere near it, something comes up and I need to restart.

I'm feeling like you're my very own personal cheerleader! 🤗 I CAN do it! 🤩 Love it when you share your experiences with us, Sophie, and I'm happy to hear you'd miss us too much to give KZbin up! 😊 Big love to you & David & the bunnies 😘💕 xx

Hi Sophie! I’ve been a silent viewer for a while now. I just wanna say, you are truly an inspiration. I hope you have a lovely day. 🥰

[@steinaf]

I truly feel better when I watch your sitdown videos, Sophie. I feel motivated to better, do better - I can't explain it even though I dealt with social media jealousy before. I needed this too, your timing is perfect! I hope the rest of your week goes smoothly 💙

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

I really appreciate your kind feedback, honestly this means a lot🙏. I never want anyone to watch and feel inadequate, social media is good at doing that to all of us. You have the nicest rest of the week, we’re cooking a spaghetti bolognese right now 😋👍 Hugs xx

[@DaniOchannel]

I love when you reference your earlier career and also realistically tell people it's really hard to make enough money on KZbin. I think luxury is not the right niche if someone wants to make good passive income from youtube.

[@Trolldollz]

i think this is a very lovely video you seem a very kind caring person i wish you happiness

[@peilinyeo2522]

Love your videos. Been following your videos for a few years now. Always love listening to you talk. Tq.

[@cathm652]

Aw don’t Stop Utube Sophie. I love listening in and watching you go round Harrods!

[@scribbyscribner118]

This is my only luxury Chanel because I do like luxury, can’t afford right now (just bought a home, and I moved to another country. So when I have $3,000. I go home.) absolutely love that you suggest different, more affordable bags. Love coupon codes. LOVE your motivation videos. I’ve stopped watched everybody else, because I can’t stand straight up “here’s what I bought.” Every time. One bag at a time is magical, and I feel that in your vlogs.

[@spiritualgangsta2178]

You have a genuine connection with your subscribers. I found myself nodding yes when you ask a question (have I lost my mind?), like you are a friend and we are just chatting. THAT, my dear, is something you cannot learn at school.

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hello lovely! That's such nice feedback, thank you so much :) I adore all of you and it really does feel like I'm talking to friends. Hugs to you xx

[@adastra5214]

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate your honesty, and how classy and elegant you are while being down to earth, it's a unique set of characteristics that I love about you and why I follow you and look forward for your videos. Despite not knowing you in person, I'm so happy for you for having found David, your love seems so genuine and you truly look like made for each other. Even the fact that you have bunnies, which are my favourite pets in the world. Thank you for everything and for sharing your luxury and life advice in general.

[@AnonYmous-bc3jt]

You’re very humble ❤️❤️❤️thanks for your honest content I really enjoy your videos

[@ubiquitousflow]

It's crazy to know that you filmed this Sunday and used the same mountain analogy that my pastor used that day. He said there's 2 mountains you have to climb. The first is establishing yourself in career and identity, and the second is about community and showing others how to do the same. You clearly are on the second mountain, and you're a great role model to show younger folks like me the way 😃

[@user-rd5ig7ft5c]

Sophie, I remember a video a while back where you shared a bit about your career journey. As someone toward the beginning of my career, you sharing really inspires me to lean in and go for it when it comes to going after opportunities and moving up the ladder. Congrats on your success and thanks for always keeping it real!

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hello lovely Katherine! I hope you’re having a nice week ☺️ I’m so glad that video was of interest! I find that bit where you’re starting out to be the hardest part. Trying to work out what you want to do, getting your foot in the door somewhere etc, it’s stressful! It sounds like you’re past that bit and are on your way. Keep going, you’ll smash it! Hugs xx

You explain it so well. I just want to say that it is not necessary to give up having kids to afford luxury. You just get to it later, when kids are grown and the house is paid off.

[@StephsAdventuresAndFabFinds]

You're the smart cookie & dedication is the key to success you've found. I love how you point out you did the right things & nothing special bc there is NO shortcut. Hard work & dedication. Nothing more, nothing less. Ppl ask me all the time how the money was made & when I explain all the hard work went into it they say, "Oh no that's too much!" expecting an easier answer. Kudo's for your hard earned success! Ppl will b jealous it is what it is but do not give them second thought enjoy your luxuries dear. We appreciate you sharing.

[@kristinpenta]

I have been following you for a couple of years now, (or so 😅) and when I started, I saw one of the videos in which you are discussing this same topic. I have always been a very hard and determined worker, too, so watching you made me want not to buy luxury, but rather to have the financial freedom to do so, if I wanted. So thank you for that!

[@SophieShohetOfficial]

Hello lovely Alexandrina, I love chatting with you all here, thank you so much for writing ☺️❤️ You’re so right about financial freedom, that’s ultimately where we want to be. Hugs xx😘😘❤️❤️

I'm a new subscriber who cannot by any means afford any kind of luxury good. But I just really like designer items and you are the very first youtuber I follow because of luxury goods but I stayed because I LOVE your personality.

Well done, my mother always said, stay true to your dreams and your dreams will stay true to you

[@alexandraelenacristea]

Love hearing advice from you Sophie. As you mention, the key to everything is to first know what you want, figure our how you're gonna get it step by step, and then put in the work and stay consistent and motivated. It sounds so easy but the hardest thing in life is deciding what you reaaaaally want. At the moment I am doing my research for my master thesis and deciding on the theme of the thesis (aka WHAT I WANT to do with my thesis) is one of the hardest things I have ever encountered in my academic experience so far. It all ties back to having a very deep level of self-knowledge and confidence that most of us struggle with our entire lives.

Im happy with good collegues and a good income but I really admire your story. For me if I treat myself with one luxury item a year that is enough I feel very blessed and I wish the best for you and David and everyone.

[@marydonovan4174]

Sophie. Your chanel has changed my life in such a short amount of time. I have been offered numerous opportunities work wise. Thank you ❤

[@denisadellinger4543]

it takes tenaciousness and hard work. You need to be a goal setter and get out there and beat down the bushes. You have to know what you are doing. Most of us haven't a clue how to work for ourselves. I would spend a lot of time in preparation for teaching my kindergarten class. I felt I did a good job at that but it didn't make me any more money. Whatever I did helped me and the kids but no one ever said, "good job" Denisa. You are doing a good job. Thank you for what you are doing. NO ONE!! Did I stay at that job? NO. They took all my efforts and hard work and my pouring myself out to my class and sh# on it. It was damn hard to start again. I sometimes got to where I said, I don't think I have another new start in me.

[@kimnelson2876]

As a former ad agency alum, I totally love the environment. Production was my field. You’re always an inspiration. I’m loving your Porsche selection, as well as your style!🌹👏🏼🥂🌹

This was so inspiring to listen to! Also, thank you for sharing your story from the workplace. I am currently writing my bachelors thesis, and a theme I am covering is this about workplace, work climate, learning and keep on working with joy and motivation. Its like it was meant to happen, with you sharing your story now, about getting your dream job, promotion and knowing your direction. This inspired me very much, both for my thesis, and for my motivation to reach for my dreams. Thank you for always sharing your thoughts, and being true to yourself. Much love from Norway x

[@ginareeder53]

This is a great video. I think most people who follow fashion/luxury vloggers have the thought and ideas, that you mentioned, about how to get that same lifestyle and how you are able to afford the things that you purchase. It's great to hear that you just went to school and worked hard for everything you have.

[@clareplays7462]

Love these sit down chats Sophie. I have been following you since your very first video. You are so inspiring. xxx💕

[@JennaNeal]

I was block filming as you call it on Fridays but I have kids so when they are at school I try to do me but lately I haven’t been as inspired to film and think it is more because I haven’t been inspired to buy anything even find a new bag. I am indecisive and annoyed at price increases and what did they change… I just want a nice pair of long Tall pants that don’t wrinkle and my favorite design they went and cheapened the fabric and upped the price and no longer do TALL length. I will forever have cold ankles it seems.

[@DreamsRemorse]

I always love hearing this story, it helps me keep pushing forward. I'm still putting applications and trying to put things together in my life, even at 35 years old, so I can achieve what I want. I want to get to where you're at. I want to be comfortable. What did you go to Uni for? Did it have anything to do with an ad agency and those tasks? Trying to get ideas on where else to look for jobs...but some thigns seem intimidating when you see what the taks are and requierments and such. It seems like a lot and things you'll never learn or be able to do.

Brava, Sophie! You speak the truth (and look amazing while doing so 😉) So glad you’re enjoying life and sharing it with us! 💕

[@juniperma4630]

I just want to mention that yes, you can achieve far more than you might think yourself capable of, but if you are not where you want to be and you have worked trying to change that and not been successful, it is not a reflection of your worth. Life is a crazy ride and even though work does lead to success, it does not guarantee it. Bad shit happens so do not think yourself worth any less.

[@natlovesfashion27]

Sophie, myself and I sure many other woman, need you to do a video showcasing your entire handbag collection, girl! I need to see it in all its glory! 😂 I’ve seen you with so many jewels. I need to see the whole collection so I can take it all in. 😂

If you're looking for lower price designer: Try Ferragamo especially menswear. One bag Gancini crossbody reminds me of LV duo messenger bag. D&G also has a lot and celebrities have been picking them up again.
