What makes rhea so special is that she doesn't flaunt her luxuries to the rest of the world unlike other vloggers, and she is very honest about her journey and doesn't cover up the bad parts. She improves and doesn't try to take pity for her difficult past, unlike many other vloggers who excuse their present bad behavior for their tough upbringing. She doesn't exaggerate her wealth, pretend to live very luxuriously and is very open about her pay and her struggles. we are all so proud of you rhea, wish you all the best!

Ikr, it makes me realize that you don't have to act the complete opposite of yourself just to fit in and be cool. I remember when I tried to post vlogs on my channel, I was real bad depressed, and yes it was fun making them, but after re-watching them something was off. I'm a really quiet and reserved person, I saw a different person in the videos I made. I even used slang I NEVER use (not cussing or anything ) and slapping on a fake smile was worse. I was hurting myself more than expressing myself. Yes I can be funny sometimes but- what I saw, I was hurting. I had planned on doing story times, even doing one based on a bad betrayal I had- but I told myself "Am I on the intent of trying to expose my bully, or will it be a lesson to others to be careful?" I took all of my videos down and made one private. I may start again when _I feel comfortable_

[@musey85]

I have always rather hated the term "Money can't buy happiness." After living in an impoverished area of Kentucky for 6 years, struggling to find employment, in a shitty trailer park infested with roaches and our trailer literally falling apart around us...then moving back to my hometown in Pennsylvania and getting good paying jobs for myself and my husband, moving into a nice apartment and able to buy enough food and things for our cats... It has been a journey, these last 10 years, for my husband and I. There was a time, living in that horrible place, where I felt that I could no longer go on and I had thoughts of suicide. I'm 35 years old in a far better place, physically and mentally, and I now think that the phrase should be "Money can't buy happiness, but it can pave the way to finding happiness."

[@ursulasmith6402]

[@felipealvesstankunas7015]

There are a wise phrase: "Money maybe not bring happiness, but lack money is certain to live in despair".

[@yuciehayashi266]

"Money can't buy happiness " is usually used on those filthy rich people who think they can buy anything, even love, friends, and health... They don't care about building relationships and maintaining healthy lifestyle but only use their money to solve their problems. This sentence properly explains them. I've never once thought it's applicable to normal people working hard for their everyday lives, living with their loved ones, surrounded by understanding friends and eating well. Glad that you're living a happier life btw.

That's also so beautiful. I remember reading a Book called I'll Take Manhattan where Zachary Amberville the Son of French & Swedish Ancestry went to Columbia to Study Journalism who was on Scholarship. He waited Tables at The Lion's Den Restaurant and lived off of his Tips and sent the Bulk home to his Widowed Mother to help take care of his Brother Cutter & Sister Emily. When he became successful in Publishing he paid his Brother Cutter's Tuition at Stanford University in Los Angeles, CA but instead of being Grateful, Cutter was very cruel to his Brother.

[@berryblast6037]

Rhea, the feeling never goes away. I too only could afford rice and soy sauce as I was living alone for many years after being kicked out of my home. It is a feeling that you never forget... wishing you could eat something you cannot have. You dream about it, you think if only one bite to satisfy. I think it makes us more appreciative of the food we can eat now and we are not wasteful. I eat everything and I mean everything before going to the grocery’s store now :) lovely video rhea, i am glad you are doing so well. Cheers from California

Growing up in middle class America the only thing I ever remember being envious of was someone’s new bike, or their new Nintendo. I never had to worry about food. We always had plenty. This puts things into such perspective. I need to call my parents and thank them for all of their hard work and for the many blessings I have had in life. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. It was very moving. And a good reminder to save!!!

[@laminage]

When I was a Kid in the 1970's it was very easy for me to take for granted that I was able to eat Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. I found out that some kids weren't as lucky as me so I would share my Lunch with them.

[@allybeetulk1457]

This was my experience watching this. I grew up in a mid to upper middle class area but we were more towards the middle of middle class. A lot of kids at school got new games and electronics which my parents could not afford and of course I was jealous. There was always food, clothes and presents under the Christmas tree (even if they weren't a playstation) and these stories put your whole life in perspective. Yes there are people with more money but there are so many with less and suffering.

[@ana2hot]

This was really beautiful, when you were talking about the budgeting and you not being able to eat the food you wanted, I looked down and saw the nice dish in front of me. I realized how lucky I am to have all of this, and how hardworking my mother has been. My father was abusive to the point where the only choice we had was to escape. I moved from Nicaragua to The US, thankfully we were able to do it legally, and at the time, I was 5. We had family here so we didn’t have to struggle financially as much as others would. It was really hard not being able to communicate so I learned english(up to the level I was at in age) in 1 year or less. I grew up in a loving household with my mother, brother, grandparents, aunt and cousin. I thought we had it easy since I could ask for something and my mother would be able to provide it. My mother worked from 7am -5pm, at a clothing factory, where they would unpack trucks and pack clothing while scanning them and separating them. She did meet the man I now consider my father and we moved across the street to my grandparents. It was when I started getting older that I realized that the only way we would have all of this was through my parents hard work. I had always been a good student, straight A’s, the first time I got a B+, I remember sobbing to my mom and just saying sorry. All she did was look at me and hug me saying, you did a great job, I am so proud of you, you worked hard. I have always tried to be the best in my studies to make sure I can graduate from university with a doctorate in Marine Biology since I really like the medical field but I get people shy, therefore I mixed my love of medicine and animals. I still think that through all my hardships, I am still very lucky. I have a great and loving home, a very stocked kitchen, a nice bedroom, very nice clothing and I get to travel and go places that many people who don’t have as much would only dream to go to. I am very thankful to god for giving my such a great mother. This thought surfaced recently when I went to a store and got 3 things but it totaled up to about $145. I looked up to my mom and told her, this is too expensive but she just ignored me and payed for it. As we were leaving the store and going to another one, she just smiled and patted my head. Although I haven’t seen my father for about 9 years now, I don’t feel like anything is missing from my life, I am really happy with who I am and where I come from. I decided to share my story to tell those who may be struggling that everything will get better, it may be a long ride but the ending destination will always be worth it. If you want to smile, smile with a calm mind. If you want to cry, cry knowing you are brave for showing your emotions. If you think that no one loves you, you are wrong, I may not know you but I do love you and I am very proud of where you have gotten to and the fact that you haven’t given up. I may only be 14, and I may be faced with many more struggles to come, but I am excited to see what the future brings. Please make sure to stay healthy and happy everyone! I love you all❤️❤️❤️❤️

You'll get there. She's so Zen and organized about everything. Here are some tips that have helped me. Brown Bag it Mon-Thur (Friday Treat Yourself). Ask for Receipts everytime you buy something and write on the back what it "was" you bought, use the Change and put it in a Piggy Bank, know "Exactly" when certain bills are due then when they are paid write the confirmation Number or better yet have a day of the week where you can budget and go over your finances. Make sure your home is nice and clean because Clutter cuts off energy. Way to go.

You mentioned that money can't buy many things such as good health, friendship, love etc, but I can't agree. Money cannot buy you health directly but it can buy you proper nutrition and good medical care when needed (in the end contributing to your health). Money can allow you to not work three jobs and therefore have time to build relationships with people (it's much easier to maintain friendship and romance). Money helps you donate to charity directly and help others considerably (e.g.fully paying for a much needed renovation in dog shelter, or buy expensive medicine for an elder who cannot afford it), therefore boosting your happiness and content (it can be also achieved when you can afford to study and learn what makes you happy and dedicate enough time to it). Money contributes to almost everything in life, the point is how to use it.

My babygirl making BANK but really tho we gonna keep supporting you Rhea. Thanks for your calming videos

[@madiemurakawa1598]

I've just discovered your channel and love your videos ! And I found this one. I cried (and I don't cry easily). Your story touched me a lot because, even I live I'm french, I lived kind of the same history as yours. Nobody should live these horrible things. Even I can't work or study because I have chronic illnesses, I live a little better than before. But I lost all hope in life and future. You gave me this hope again. I'm so impressed by you, you inspire me, really.

[@yayin43]

You’re very good with budgeting. You’re a hero helping everyone in your family. They should appreciate you and take care of you when you get old. Salute.

[@lovelao7615]

Even though growing up poor and having to work hard for my things that I had to buy for myself I wouldn’t change it because it has made me the person I am today, Christian, loving, giving, and never take anything for granted✨

This video made my day, gave me the chance to reflect on my past and move forward. Thank you for posting it.

[@rene_from_so_cal]

Inspirational to say the least. You're definitely heading in the right direction. My wife and I long ago, 20 plus years, were in the same humble situation. We appreciate everything we own now. We teach our two kids the importance of budgeting money and keeping your feet on the ground. Stay humble, life changes in a blink of an eye. Money comes and goes. Thank you for taking the time to post this, and good luck to you and your love ones. Best, Family of Four, from Southern California!

[@alexisplexis]

For the 6 years we've been together, my husband and I tripled our initial income. But my mind is still set in those times were I was analysing prices of yoghurt and choosing cheaper one! We were very hopeful about the future as he got a fantastic new job, and I was in the final stages of very promising job, but that was 3 weeks ago. Now with the virus, I only hope he can start his new job as planned and I can keep my current job. Funny how it all changes, couple of weeks ago I was planning which designer bag I will get first, now I pray that things remain unchanged...

[@amara560]

Living below your means and saving for your future are the most important things you can do at a young age and any age.

[@sharmashivi4036]

You guys inspire me so much.

[@tipsyredrooster1269]

Such a heartwarming story. I did the samething with travel savings from my earnings. My husband and I have made it to 36 countries in 16 years. Travel is a passion I have to teach me about people and culture.

[@malavikac3399]

Great respect to you and your family for working through all your challenges in life with diligence and never giving up willpower and hope. May your family prosper and always be happy.❤️

[@nananoor3896]

I really love that you still think of helping your family while u already have your own, many people think that when they start a family of their own they shouldn’t help their siblings and parents anymore, this is very thoughtful of you.

[@lottiverse]

“It’s not the money itself that makes us happy, but it’s what the money can do for us that makes us happy” I’ll keep that in mind, thank you for sharing such a beautiful story to us! :)

[@amandamarry863]

I love how you are still thinking about your whole family and spend for them monthly, I do that too with my allowance, and it's satisfying, the more i give, the more i received, may you and your whole family have happy lives always 😊

[@eishad6803]

I especially love the crunch sound of the bread 😍 and it's amazing to see a youtuber video break down their monthly budget! I don't think I've seen this much - honestly it's quite rare that anyone be this open with their finances - ever in a public platform. Wishing you all the best! This is my first comment and I've decided to subscribe too! Thank you for such enjoyable videos! (PS: I really really love the loft space! and all the food videos!)

[@Josh19981]

You are an incredible woman. Your perspective on life and what’s important really made me smile. I can’t wait to go back to Japan, it’s my favourite place and the people are the politest I’ve ever experienced. Blessings to you and your family, they would be so proud of you.

[@MickeyJames2010]

Growing up my parents didn't have a lot of money and they still struggle financially and I help out as much as I can but since I've moved out last year I have my own expenses now but they do the best they can for my siblings. I always spent a lot of time with my mom and I've seen her make delicious meals out of every single ingredient she had in the house when it got difficult and because of her I learned to do the same and learned to buy items on sale and compare prices on similar items but with different prices since it's sometimes the brand that seems to be the only difference. She taught me a lot and I'll always be grateful for my mom and everything I've learned from her I really admire my mom for being so strong and smart. I agree with your answer about money I feel the same way you do I just couldn't really put it into words but you did and I'll always remember that. I love your videos I learn so much from your videos, watching your videos relaxes me and gives me a different perspective on life but anyways take care of yourselves! 💕

[@camilapontes7942]

Ahhhhh my mom does the same! She makes a lot of food with just a few ingredients and everybody loves her meals. She also taught me to compare prices and buy itens on sale... This skills I'm bringing to my own family and I'm so thankful for having such an amazing mom

[@ednahhhrs.2163]

Hi Rhea.you're an inspiration not just about organizing or budgeting but about life and love to your family.😊

[@angiep8217]

You are exceptionally very disciplined, practical & organized person for your age. I admire you for being there for your family helping them w: their financial needs. Your grandmother raised you well👏

[@mileigh4302]

So inspiring. I’m happy you’ve overcome so much and it made you a stronger person. I too had a similar upbringing. Parents had 9 kids. One of our home meals was white rice with scramble eggs (which I still enjoy with different seasoning) and it was hard. I taught myself to budget everything! Today I have a good job but I don’t over do it. That old life and feelings never leave you but make you a stronger and wiser person at a young age just like you which by the way your doing amazing. Sending you love and best wishes ☺️

[@cinthyarocha7432]

It was an inspiration for me to read about how was your life when you were a child and how everything change for good. I like how organized you are and really enjoy your channel. Looking forward to see a video of your trip to Paris soon. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@nx8481]

Loved hearing your story ❤️ it’s wonderful you’re able to have all you need now, as well as help your family.

[@jennijenni314]

I was eating while watching some of your videos and when you said “let me tell you a story” and after the first sentence I told myself “hold up, let me finish eatin for crying” 😅 But honestly, I love how open and honest you are. And the fact your grateful and very humble for not only the good things in life, but the sad things as well. And I don’t it’s a problem your plans aren’t 100% perfect, bc unlike most, you have a plan and setting it in motion. Thank you for the video ❣️🖤❣️

Most Asians do that, we feel obligated to pay back to our parents even tho they didn't ask especially those who are coming from a lower-class family being well off and provide our family and make them happy is our main goal.

[@putritobing4785]

Asian culture to be exact.

[@btsarmyforever3816]

Asian culture I suppose. In India we take care of our parents when we grow up. It's to thank them for taking care of us.

[@thexxit]

Your budgeting and fiscal responsibility is so admirable! I love how you budget your family care in there as well. It's smart for you to save 100% of your husband's salary. It will come in handy. Honestly, you should teach lessons in this. Bless your mother and grandmother for raising you right.

[@tintakot]

Thank you so much for the cute idea of putting receipts in a box. It's so simple but I've never thought of it!

[@eddiekewl]

I enjoyed watching this. Thanks. It’s made me realise how careless I am with my money. I work 6 days a week and earn a decent enough salary but because I’m always busy, I feel everything in my life is out of convenience and this is having a massive impact on my money. Sometimes I say it’s money well spent but I know I can do better. It would be more rewarding to budget than indulge as I do. Keep up the good work.

[@JE-ne5qx]

You're so humble, sincere & genuine. I never skipped your ads. Your contents are valuable, you spent much time thinking abt them for sure and it's just fair for us viewers not to skip your ads. Bless you and your family ❤
