[@Madeofplasticable]

No way! Money is a very taboo and confusing topic, especially in the US. We've sort of collectively decided it's inappropriate to discuss, but that leaves a lot of people with a lot of questions and little sense of what is a good way to handle finances. I think it's totally natural to want to know more about how other people handle finances!

[@cisilver5982]

Mila2858 it does not make you a nosy person! I am always curious how much people make and how they spend it. Lol

[@westworlds]

if you are nosey, then call me Wendy Willams. I love to know random stuff about people. Thats why I love the Vogue 73 questions, Refinery 29's Sweet gigs (which is a house tour), etc. They are strangers, but it is so interesting to see life through someone else's eyes.

[@reeleesweet2]

Her savings are making me rethink life!

[@arib4118]

Marti D I think she means rethink life financial decisions* with her own savings account proportioned to her income. I feel the same way 😂. I literally JUST started putting money into a savings account the other day.

[@arib4118]

DiscoFalcon well it didn’t say exactly how long she’s been in her career, unless I missed it, and given that most people have less than $1000 saved at all based on a google search...she’s doing better than most.

[@arib4118]

DiscoFalcon and I definitely agree with living beyond their means for appearances but she is saving something. Most people aren’t saving anything and just live check to check spending just cause it’s there. It’s the principle behind having a budget and something to show for it is what I mainly got out of this video. People are in shock and awe because it seems like a lot, but with an almost $100k salary, she should technically have like $20k saved per year. And she has almost $150k. Either she has been doing it a while or had savings prior to her job as a producer.

[@monkeygirl243]

Dang I had that in my savings at 17 years old lol but to be fair I didn't do much with my money at the time

[@Detz0325]

well do you make 95k a year lol. You can't say I will need to achieve the same thing if you only make a fraction of what she makes.

[@sneekz07]

People are telling her what to do with her money, meanwhile she has over 100k in savings and can afford to blow 5k a month. She is doing fine. Worry about your own finances.

[@constancekang9914]

100K in saving is not a lot for someone who is over 40, especially because she doesn't have any real estate property like house. the reality is, she wouldnt be able to retire on that saving.

[@davidmckesey7119]

Constance Kang and what can you do? Lol how much you got saved?

[@worldpeace1081]

Constance Kang she said at the end of this video that she wasn't planning on retiring

[@wj3186]

People like her are spending our finances. She is a consumer. What essential to the human condition does she actually produce?

[@lucynguyen6613]

Yeah, I was surprised too. She also has an IRA, stocks, and a Roth IRA which people did not count as having the potential to increase further. Most would just leave it in a savings account without investing it.

[@DonYelleandDiana]

i love that she mentioned how much she spends on weed lol

[@alexisknows6513]

DonYelle and Diana ...I bet it's higher then $300 per month .

[@tylercotter9282]

Alexis Knows thats already 30 grams per month which is a gram a day if its the good stuff but if not then double those numbers. I doubt its more

[@Apryll.]

@Alexis Knows, I originally thought my number was less than that until I did the math and its 620.

[@Apryll.]

@Tyler Cotter who smokes just 1 gram a day, 13yo? She most likely gonna half with her fiancee

[@MartiCostaPrat_Eseso_de_SWAG]

Tyler Cotter idk where you live but where i live $300 will probably get you about 70 or maybe 100 grams

[@openfridi1138]

She remembers everything. When I'm reading my bill it's like what? Where? How? Why?

[@MyLady22]

Right?! I’d be like who used my card! Someone hacked my card and spent $300 at Sephora! Oh wait...nvm.

[@elizabethhachet4667]

I'm like that with delivery

[@GZsaywhat]

Would be cool to see more videos like but with different salaries because let's be real, $95k is definitely on the higher end. Maybe someone who make $50k or $30k? Checking out different life scenarios would be cool/helpful.

[@blairintheburbs]

Agreed!!

[@kqxx]

Agreed!

[@elio5105]

95k is nothing

[@GZsaywhat]

Elio True, 95k may not actually be that much. Especially if you live in a place like New York or San Francisco. The national average for the US in general is closer to 52k though.

[@fuckyeahXD16]

20k or 14k would be realistic given that full time jobs are going extinct the struggle is real let alone finding a second job when they just offer 4 hours a week but want full availability. .. 😟 94k would fix all my problems 😂😂😂

[@EnigmaticallyErin]

I would have a good relationship with money too if I was making $95K

[@califlorican]

I actually think she could be doing a lot better...she's only saving (at most.. She said it's a "goal") 10% of her monthly net income. 2200 a month after bills for food/going out/fun stuff is insane, in my opinion.

[@EnigmaticallyErin]

I don't disagree! When I saw her spending breakdown I was like how can one person spend this much in a month?! And she did spend more than she earned by about $500. I was just trying to make a snarky comment based on her comment about having a positive relationship with money lol.

[@hipnhappenin]

$95k is nothing these days. Especially since she lives in NY.

[@EnigmaticallyErin]

I don't necissarily disagree, but I also live in NYC and make $55K. So.

[@JannyLovesManny]

[@jbautista6602]

[@mermaidtingzzz]

J Bautista yes! I just told myself the other night that I need to sit down and learn to budget for myself (and stick to it). She just gave me so much inspo!

[@DavidKen878]

Ari Elle It has NOTHING to do with budget. That poor person mentality of budgeting equals wealth needs to stop now.

[@CalabarSweetii]

J Bautista AMEN! We need this! And we need that type of encouragement!

[@CalabarSweetii]

MrDavidKen77 it’s a combination of budgeting AND investments. We need to master both.

[@latzobear]

and also be vigilant about how much tax breaks the government is giving wealthy people

[@everytimesthefirsttime]

As a 16 year old I really appreciate this video because it gives me an idea of how I should manage my money. Beside that this video also tells me how adults use their money which I wanted to know for a really long time, but I couldnt because everyone is so secretive about their money.

[@sirajcherif1625]

What do you mean by invensting ?

[@sirajcherif1625]

Ninuxy what i meant is : if you are in you 20 s how are you going to invest with no capital

[@cmartwin]

Sirajdine Cherif you don’t have to have a large sum to invest. You can start small, when I had my job I put like $100 a month into an IRA. I’m only 21, but you have to start somewhere. Take like 15-20% of whatever you make and put that towards retirement 🤷🏻‍♂️ more if you’re expecting old age to cost more. Which by the time we retire health care is going to be ridiculous.

Is this a series?...If not, it should be🙂

[@monicamendoza7435]

Can we get someone on here talking about their expenses and how they manage their money on the following salaries: 25K a year, 40K a year, 50K a year, and 75K a year? 95K is pretty high up on the income scale for the national average in the US.

[@minigangsta128]

I agree! but Lowkey, I'd also like to see someone at 120k and 150k. And also all ofthe above incomes at different ages. Maybe people with kids and without.

[@DavidKen878]

Why does it matter? Worry about your own income vs watching KZbin to see how people who make more than you spend it.

[@athena6653]

she lives in NYC though where the cost of living is insanely high, so it's really not as much as it may seem

[@amberaa4782]

My husband and I make under $40k and are doing totally fine!

[@michaeleafroemke6698]

MrDavidKen77 why are you even watching this video if you keep commenting like that. Most people are watching this video so they can learn how to budget better so they can be successful. Why does you opinion matter why don't you mind your business.

[@pizzapizza2225]

For all of the disheartened people seeing this woman's savings, just keep in mind: She is 40 and clearly has no children, since she says she has a fiancé. And based on her purchases, she spends nothing on children. So definitely don't get immediately worked up comparing your own savings to hers, but certainly try to achieve something better than what you already have. If you're in college, just don't choose a stupid major and you'll be alright!

[@LazyFoxLore]

She is also planning on having children by what she says and personally, if I made 95k a year I'd have already started saving for them as well. Like a long time ago. For their growth and whatever else they'd need to get a diverse education. Whatever school you plan on sending them to should have already been saved for for about half their education already.

[@freedomfyodor]

Andrew Fox Women over 35 should not have children, it’s like being born in a rotten egg.

[@goodgirlsguide]

She did say she was having fertility issues and one of the payments was closing the debt of several thousands of pounds she had paid in fees for tests.

Where did you see the age I was looking for it the moment I saw she makes 95k

Comparing this woman's budget to the other woman making 45k, they're spending is similar. This woman just makes more money. I hope they continue this series. Its quite compelling and helpful.

[@liz2880]

I want that type of relationship with money! I’m going through some hard times right now due to my health, luckily I have family but definitely working on getting my mental and physical health back into a place when I can go back to working (I actually really miss it), and saving up. Living without income like I was used to I learned that you don’t need stupid stuff like wasting a big chunk of my check at Sephora or Starbucks. I hope these things stick with me.

[@kendrabantz1855]

Wow. I can relate so much. I'm in almost the exact same position. Focusing on rebuilding myself is refreshing and terrifying in the way that big changes can be, but I'm slowly getting more and more impatient to get back out there on my own instead of having my family help me (although that's terrifying in its own way lol). Hang in there! We can do it!

Why am I watching this? My rent is half my paycheck

[@twdjt6245]

I see lots of people saying how she has a great relationship with money etc etc.....and although I agree that she probably does better with money than the average American.....and I don't mean to be the only negative Nancy here but my thoughts were : WOW, How do you make 95k a year and only save 500$ a month??? Not sure if it's the newyork location or her lifestyle or what (her regular bills didn't look that expensive, so doubtful), but I'd be saving a lot more than that if I ever find myself making even close to that much, probably around 4x that much actually, and still live comfortably. Call me cheap, but I see lots of things that could've/should've been cheaper or cut out altogether. 81$ for Mexican for two???? Either way I'd like to see more videos like this. Very interesting to see where people's money go in the middle class.

[@wilma7006]

Right! That's a lottt of money just for one meal. But, assuming her partner is finanically stable it's kind of understandable lol. I still wouldn't spend a lot if I was here because I'm a cheap person

[@heartsmelody189]

I totally agree haha. That's like 6% if her yearly income…aren't you supposed to be saving 10% JUST for retirement? But she already has a good amount of savings so maybe the video is missing something

[@sofiab1966]

I agree!! Me and my bf save 1k a month on a 36k/year salary combined, I wish we had 95k!

[@twdjt6245]

But her rent is only 1.5k a month.......not obscene at all......and as I've said before....her other bills are not obscene either....it seems to me as if most of her money goes towards casual and unnecessary spending......again....its her hard earned money to do as she pleases......and she does better with saving/investing than most if we're honest......but just saying if it were me, even with her rent/bills, I'd be able to save much more per month than she is.

[@CalabarSweetii]

Now 200k is a comfortable salary. It saddens me to see so many people think 95k is a lot of money. The truth is we’re all just dealing with pennies compared to the wealthy. But you’ve just gotta build the most out of what you have until you can leverage it to start actually wealth building.

[@ximenarodenas5810]

technically that money was only for her veil so id say that its a decent price for a Veil

[@dragonelote]

but theyre occupying the same space so rent should be evenly divided

[@Sam-yo3bj]

dragonnelite The argument generally is that if you are dating someone with a much higher salary then their standard of living is often higher too. By living together it is likely that a compromise by one person for the living standard will occur. It then comes the question that is it fair to have the lower earner paying half for something that comes at a higher price for them. It means that they’ll have to put a bigger % of their income towards living costs, have less disposable income, less savings and will struggle to keep up with any other spendings their partner may like (eating out, holidays, etc.). Obviously if you’ve only been dating a few months split it in half. But if you’re 10 years into a relationship a split via income may ease pressure off the lower income earner.

[@JessicaBadillo]

I live in las Vegas and it's high af here smh

[@003ericka003]

I live in LA and I pay $3k a year. I drive a Honda lol

[@ApRiL3706]

Tracy Hammonds Tracy Hammonds I live in Metro ATL too! My brother used to pay $400 for 6 months with Progressive for his 1995 but he forgot to pay for his insurance and didnt realize he drove months without it. Progressive couldn't give him the same rate back especially because now they stopped selling insurance in GA because of the amount of car fraud and accidents there is here. Now with Geico and with his speeding ticket, he pays 1,200 dollars for 6 months! On a 1995 car!!

[@crisset]

this is actually useful!

[@lunovo1464]

To be honest she stole my heart when she said she smokes weed !!! Bro yaaaaas throw that in the budget plan, I’m about a quarter (160) a month kind of gal!

[@pethcir]

I dig these types of videos. Really puts your own spending and budgeting into perspective. She's done great for herself. Hope I'm as stable as she is by the time I'm 40. 10 years to save 100k! Totally doable.

[@thenickben]

lmao love how she mentioned how much she spends on weed in a month. caught me off guard lol

[@Celldweller42]

I've never felt so poor before watching this My family barely makes her spending money every month

[@preferablystephen480]

Hello! I am writing this to encourage you. Please don't compare yourself to this person. All factors must be considered before making a true fair comparison. Like she said, she lives in NY and pays $6 for a cup of coffee. Do you live in NY? If so, that's just one component of the overall equation. If not, this proves my point. I imagine salaries are higher in NY (but so is everything else). Also, she is splitting rent (and probably other costs as well) with her fiance. In other words, she doesn't make 95k a year. Combined, they make, for example, 170k. I don't mean anything disparaging to her by saying this because I do not know her. She may be "wealthy" in income but "poor" in spirit. This five minute video does not paint a complete view of her life. Lastly, I want you to know that God loves you and I pray (I really will pray for you) that his favor extends to you and your family in all areas of your life.

[@woshanimal]

Same. My parents make a little over that per month

[@jessislistless]

This is inspiring! I want to earn this kind of money!!

[@Dash-cm4ol]

So were all just gonna pretend her car insurance isnt $75 dollars?

[@marginelouis6674]

Dash Boy probably rental insurance. No reason to own in nyc

[@ellemathews9840]

My grandfather's is $30 for liability .

[@moorebrandiplz]

I don’t think people realize just how helpful videos like these really are. It gives so much insight.

[@youtubeyoutubeyoutube9961]

Its not about how much you make, but about how much you save! Learned this the hard year the first few years of being self-employed and selling on different marketplaces online. The money was rolling in but I was easily spending the same amount so it was going right back out. The older you get, hopefully the more wise you become and realize your needs versus wants. My relationship with money has definitely gotten better and budgeting and constantly checking your accounts helps a lot.

[@rscnails]

What type of car do you have and what year is it for your car insurance to be $75 a month very curious

[@jessicawatson2473]

rscnails in NYC people carry insurance and not own a car which will cover them for rentals and such. Then it’s super cheap because it is rarely used. As soon as you actually own a car there, it is astronomical to carry insurance.

[@blairintheburbs]

rscnails Some people who live in the city will use a family members address whether it be out of state or in the suburbs to get a much lower rate. Not saying she does that, it’s just a common thing that a lot of people do.

[@NoboPenguin]

I used to combine my car insurance with my ex’s. We paid $600 for 2 cars for half a year. That came out to be $50 a month for each car. Neither of us had a single ticket in the 10+ years we had been driving. So $75 is actually quite realistic.

[@Allexandra04]

Apple music subscription!! Those are money well spent! 😂 i cannot live without it either! ❤️😁

[@emiliabolsas]

Allexandra I just learned a few days ago that you can buy a one-year, $99 subscription as a lump sum payment. Saves you $20 overall.

[@Allexandra04]

emiliabolsas, really? That‘s so cool? 😃 i will look for this! Thx for sharing! ❤️

[@queenofmoderation7668]

Or u can just download music for free lol

[@ashleyshim2078]

Biatch Please Facts!😂

[@MrGameplayMakerHD]

Allexandra Lol no, waste of money IMO. Just get KZbin++ off of tweakbox on safari, this will enable you to play and download Music(or any video on KZbin) as your phone is off or idle. And to disable ads on KZbin++, just download Adblock off of the AppStore.

[@Joanna0922]

So this is basically like money diaries on Refinery 29

[@alexandramartinez1856]

Joanna Romero This was my exact same thought when I read the tittle of this video.

[@liz2880]

Well I’ll go watch that too then, I’m just nosy about these things lol

[@alexandramartinez1856]

Same

[@katymax3159]

Money diaries are fantastic!

[@elynbeth]

Except this woman doesn't live with her parents :/

[@lambchopstephanie]

This is a very great series, keep them coming Glamour! Also, I applaud this woman on saving almost $150K while living in New York. I know it would be easy to spend a ton of money on eating out, nightlife, shopping, entertainment in NY, etc...Please feature other people besides New Yorkers. Please feature Californians, PNW-er's, Midwesterners, and women of all age ranges (college student, postgrad, single women, married women, retiree's, etc...)

[@astoumd]

I love every single thing about this video concept. Please keep them coming!

[@lookitskalee1]

I would love to see more of these with different incomes!

[@baileyfreeman9609]

Please do more of these!!

[@flala2261]

Bailey Freeman 🙌

[@jillsdasilva]

Officially working til I die. Thanks.

[@VenusRising]

This video is great! I love how candid she was. I'm impressed by Glamour bring the money conversation to young women.

[@robertanthonyluna]

This would be a really neat series, you guys should do this with different people of different incomes and occuptations

[@aquagamer1212]

I'd LOVE to see more. Higher like $120-200, and lower like 20-40. I'd also like to see single vs family.

[@Xoxosofiagirl]

WAIT PAUSE. . . TUMBLR $9 wym🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@lelewoodm]

same!!1

[@analogsitall]

sofia greaves maybe for a theme?

[@evileyez504]

maybe she's paying for ads? does tumblr have ads???

[@fozzybear7526]

sofia greaves maybe she's advertising something idk

[@avacrawford3175]

Sally S no, its says on the paper TUMBLR INC.

[@SummerxKim]

Please keep making content like this! This was so insightful. It would be interesting to compare to someone more entry/junior level to see how they manage a smaller salary monthly.

[@singerfreek]

I think this type of video is awesome and you should make many more of them for different personal finance styles and individuals. The more we talk openly about money, the more comfortable we will become using or not using it. I would love a more in depth look at how she set up and manages her savings. Love that she mentions her weed budget.

[@TheSweetForever]

Yesss. I want to be like her. Trying to be the best with money.

[@cieloquirico5705]

I love stuff like this awesome

[@CalabarSweetii]

How do you amass that much in savings on $95000 a year?

[@fredstolemysocks2]

She saves 500 a month and has two IRA accounts on top of that. She's probably been doing it for a long time.

[@xDefender11]

CalabarSweetii because she has no kids

[@thriftyshadesofgreene5266]

Saving.saving.saving.consistently.

[@Ffun023]

If you think that is a lot listen to Dave Ramsey some of his callers have saved millions making around 50-80k

[@thriftyshadesofgreene5266]

Olivia I find nothing is impossible.she has a good relationship with $$.I cannot say the same.

[@mavieenrose17]

do more of these videos! this was so informative and made me realize i need to do better with my finances, facing things head on instead of being scared to look at them .

[@yinongjiang3657]

Please make this into a regular series!

[@cmac2295]

I would be elated if I can even make half what she makes!

[@kenzawilliams]

300$ on weed!!! Girl how much do you smoke??🤔

[@xxlovelyoxanaxx]

kenzawilliams weed is expensive !!lol

[@hraeu]

kenzawilliams depends on the quality of the weed its probably some really good weed

[@queenofmoderation7668]

Hahaha weed is expensive in NY. I end up spending the same amount or more and I smoke only once a day.

[@gerardinecizmar]

Maybe her boyfriend's using her weed.

[@ashleyshim2078]

Abraham Unvergesslich lmao ikr

[@LeDivaHeartsAll]

This was so great!!!

[@mrvi541]

I loved it. So interesting​ and helpful. Please do more!!

[@DavidKen878]

Amaranthine helpful how?

[@Ralphdc19]

Good job! Nothig surprising, I’m glad this featured woman had dedication!

[@oogabooga8447]

"idk if I wanna say this but I...smoke weed, so"

[@SuperFosterMom]

Don’t buy crystals!

[@antwto8784]

Right? What an absolute waste

[@leah5580]

The fact that she HAS savings and still doesn't think she can retire is honestly the saddest part of this video.

[@HoratioAccel]

Leah Howler She doesn't have a super stable job and her investments/savings could be a lot higher if she wanted them to be.

[@xrandomly2852]

CapnHMCrunch She has crap savings and an even crappier savings rate. She should be saving $2k a month if she plans to retire comfortably at 65. Comments saying she has high savings show how poorly the average person knows about proper retirement planning

[@LazyFoxLore]

She could retire for about 3 months with her spending habits before she'd be looking for a cheaper place to live.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Without a defined benefit plan (traditional pension) she needs to be saving 20% of her income for retirement on a consistent basis. She's not doing that.

[@indiaxlovee]

Leah Howler lmao 200k saved in nyc isn’t anything

[@_isatoo]

I really love these! Graduating and getting my first salary and not knowing what to spend it on is terrifying: this helped a lot

[@meghans4783]

Isatoo xx I would suggest watching Dave Ramsey and not this. She’s a terrible saver. Know the difference between a Roth IRA and a trADITIONAL IRA, because there’s a very significant difference between the two when you go to retire. Contribute as much as you can to your 401k if your company offers one, most companies offer a match around 4-6%, if you can contribute to get that match otherwise you are leaving free money on the table. Good luck!

[@NaomiNLewis]

I love this! People are usually very secretive about their bank accounts so it's cool to have such an insider look at how people actually spend their money! Plus, great money saving tips

[@zayacurates]

then there's me, broke postgrad student who literally spent 5k in 7 months

[@antwto8784]

Nothing lasts forever, things will change one day
