As a millennial, this "you're not saving" conversation is so tone deaf. I didn't start making "decent" money until I was 29. How are you supposed to save if you're barely making enough money to survive? No amount of "saving" can save a person who doesn't have discretionary income to save.

[@dreannaperkins]

Me at 29 ..agreeing with this entire comment

[@danahmarie793]

@R H E A I agree, but if I only have $1 and I need to decide whether to eat or save.. IM EATING 😭

[@sadiebaxter399]

I totally agree. But even if you can find room to save $5 from every paycheck in the long run is so beneficial

another thing that depresses me is seeing girls my age going on vacations and driving jeeps while living on their parents money but i’m struggling to get by. it’s rough.

[@torismith4425]

The “saving” conversation is so necessary. How am I expected to pay rent, utilities, car notes, insurance, and let’s not forget student loans and still have a healthy savings account. My family literally talks so much shit about saving but it’s like I’m doing too much at 24. I think older generations don’t realize how much has changed.

The older generation didn't really pay attention to that stuff. I am bout 9 years older than you and I literally had to learn that shit on my own. I've watched my parents make poor financially decisions and thank God I've learned from them. Keep on pushing young woman. You are going to go places as long as you keep this mindset.

[@leyley9762]

The whole being an adult basically in your 20s but still broke is so relatable especially for millennials (speaking to those 24 and later) who cant afford shit and are now going through our second major recession in our prime earning years...... this is ghetto!

Don't do it you will drive yourself crazy. In your twenties just make sure you get a good savings started, be mindful of your credit and have fun! Use your twenties to love yourself, your 30's to define who you are, and I don't have anything for my 40's, I am not there yet! But I think I will use it to love others and to flourish in my career. Honestly your 30's are your real beginnings.

My own 20s were spent worrying about everything, beating myself up for not accomplishing goals that were out of my possibilities and being anxious that I wouldn't accomplish what I expected my late 20s life to be like.

Being 26, I feel like the opportunities and possibilities on the horizon are endless. Seven months ago, however, and I was in the worst fog of my life. Didn't know who I was or where I wanted to go, and sought out therapy before I did anything stupid. I had a timeline on how my life should be: be married by 30, have a house by 32, have kids by 35. I thought that was what I wanted. Now I know that all I want is to maintain my sense of identity. I lost it once, and now that I think I found it again I intend to keep it. The rest will come when it comes.

[@Iam.tatiana_]

I just turned 30 this year, and I can’t tell you how much of a blessing this video is. 🖤🖤 My sister is only a year older than me, but she’s told me almost word-for-word what you say here, Jackie. I’m grateful for the women in our lives who love us and can help us put everything into perspective. Be well, everyone!

[@netty06]

These "chatty GRWM" are actually my favorite videos of yours. I'm not really into makeup anymore, but I connect to your channel by virtue of you discussing relevant/interesting topics. Your honesty and humor is refreshing. Face always gawjuss. GIFS always accurate.

[@judithbecerra6264]

Girl you need a podcast. I can listen to you speak about anything and everything alllllll dayyyyyy 💕💕

[@sm7640]

Seriously!

[@ifrahjama2215]

Yesssss

[@lunaw4063]

For real!

[@Peneyasmin123]

I read the title and instantly said yes... I'm 22 and over it already

[@taniahlumbu9216]

Me too sis. Me too.

[@ashleydkny8299]

21 and already at that point...

[@abbig5316]

i’m 21 and tired of being broke and just want my shit together

[@angmerci]

I just turned 24 and I’m trying my best to just live my life and take it as it comes. I’m trying to no longer compare myself to others or compare myself to who I thought I’d be. It’s an odd time lol

[@cynthiasalinas7390]

Thank you for this!! I’m 24 and constantly on this battle with myself of not having it together. Being in your 20s is a wild ride. Thinking of all of you going through the struggle right now ❤️

[@charliekerr811]

Whew, navigating friendships in my 20s has been such a weird and rough time, BUT definitely a lot of valuable lessons learned in the long run

[@brender1995]

Thanks! Needed this my boyfriend just broke up with me days before our anniversary and i was always scared that dating him might be just wasting my 20s but everything is a life lesson.

[@marlenvillagomez7764]

*internet* *hug* you will get past this sending love

[@Omangozika]

🤗 🤗 🤗

[@alexf9447]

My ex broke up with me before Christmas last year and I’m still trying to get over it. The right person will come. It just showed us that the person wasn’t it, no matter how hard to accept. Just glad so much time wasn’t wasted. I’m only 21.

[@hbhtcr5707]

Yeah I was with someone on and off from 18-23. Definitely wasted time but needed to happen so I wouldn’t do it again I guess lol.

[@dear_blue4915]

Today is my 20th birthday. Honestly...what are the odds? Anyways: I really needed this🤭

[@missshebababy]

Happy birthday 🎉

[@AbbeyTaylor93]

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your 20’s, life is great and the journey just started!

[@kakalove7033]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉

[@AliyahKaylan]

Happy birthday boo ❤️

[@BMWalker8882]

Happy Birthday! Make the best of your 20s and live it up to the fullest 🎉🎉🎉

[@tinytaz6668]

I say to colleagues in their 20’s, I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time criticising myself. I should be thinner, my nose should be smaller blah blah. I was hot!! So I tell them, ENJOY IT, your beautiful 💜💜

[@bernadettelaspee9388]

This is so true you don’t realize how beautiful you were in ur twenties and all the men that can come with it

[@jennipherblack1871]

I'm 21. My life's a mess. I'm still trying to figure out myself. At times I feel like i'm not going in the right path. Thanks for putting this out Jackie. I'm going to live my life to the fullest and learn from my mistakes and be happy. Thank you!

[@plamechou]

Yes I feel the same!

[@lihlithembamazibuko5920]

Same here!

[@TiiaSweetNeSS31]

Hi Jackie, so I’m 26 and I’ve been going through a mid 20s crisis and honestly this video really reassured me about A LOT of things! Thank YOU 😊

[@josethehuman9531]

And suddenly, after listening to Jackie’s words of wisdom, I became okay with living with my current and future mistakes :) Love you Jackie! Sending everyone positive vibes!

[@FullMetalRandomness]

Yes. The answer is yes. I'm 29 and I am still baby. Your high updo gives me life and would have paid the tuition for the degree I don't use. 💖

[@CheHaute]

Laaawwwddd the fact that I’m in my mid 20s and neeeeeeddddded this video 😳😳😳😳 I swear I can not afford this life I’m in right now because broke is an understatement but love you Jackie 💖💖💖

[@aishahalling1920]

I graduated at 24. Im now 27 and still dont feel setlled in my career at all! Im right at the beginning and feel anxious about it everyday! Immigrant communities defo have higher standards. Loved this vid

[@moochieb1209]

I’m a month away from 27 and I’m looking forward to the upcoming years. I’m more confident than I’ve ever been and finally making a lil coin. I’m still glowing up mentally, physically and financially. THANK GOD

[@lucindagarcia5972]

this seriously made me want a Jackie and Folake podcast 😅👀

[@Jods222]

I love how you were on the phone with Folake throughout this, really cute and made it even more real and feel like girl talk x

[@JuneStay]

I clicked on this straight away! In my 20’s now and I’m honestly so excited for my 30’s! My 20’s has been full of trying things and being like ‘no, actually I don’t like that’. I can’t wait to settle down and know what I’m actually supposed to be doing with my life! 🙈🙋🏽😂😂 xx

[@JamieModelvsDirector]

Still trying to figure it out at 34 🤣😂😆 I’m finally starting to get there tho lol 😆 30s is like 20s all over again but you make better decisions because of the mistakes in the 20s. 30s feels like a do over I Love it tho 😊

[@severesammantha]

So I’m 24 right now and this video is so helpful especially in regards to career changes. I have my bachelors in one thing but because of my personal circumstances and COVID-19 I’m thinking of going back and I’m realizing that it’s OK and that I’m not a failure for changing.

[@ninexiss]

Thank you Jackie, I really needed this 🙏I’m 24 and just went back to uni this year after 2 years of feeling super unaccomplished I learned my lesson to take things slow and not be so hard on myself, but really that voice still does get the best of me sometimes. I’m learning to accept that voice and stop it from ruling my life

[@cinnamoncat2731]

I’m a 21 year old with severe chronic health issues, I’ve been unable to work or go to school for almost 2 years. It’s been so stressful and I’ve felt like such a burden on my family. I have so many ambitions and goals but my illness takes a lot away from me. I’ve felt so guilty for not being able to do the same things like everyone else my age. I really appreciate you talking about this, Jackie. You’ve helped me realize that I don’t need to have everything figured out right now. I look up to you so much. Thank you!

[@KENECHIJACOB]

1 minute into the video and I'm legit crying cause I literally been in my own head about all this stuff

[@alegue523]

I’m 24 and if there is some things I hate is elders telling me how far in my life I should be in comparison to them. I’m currently going for chemical engineering and I am graduating with my associates in May so half way there😬🤞🏻 but honestly my drive makes me continue this journey.

[@gevaudanbijan]

“Comparison is the thief of joy, sweetie!” oof! yas! everybody needs to remember dat! 💕💕💕💕

[@dombaker8249]

I turned 20 in October and I feel like once you hit your 20's, it's like "oh fuck I'm an adult now, I have to get my shit together" and it's a lot of pressure. This definitely made me feel so much better💘💘

[@XXOVXXO__]

Shit not for Me, Imma be 21 this sunday and I'm just going with the flow

[@Kayjayoh]

Yes to all of this. And now that I'm in my 40s, I'm even more settled into being comfortable with who I am and where I am in life. Also, your teal over orange eye shadow look is [chef kiss]

[@loneguy17]

I turn 22 next month and definitely need to get out of this path of thinking I know everything. I love these videos so much! It's like lessons with that cool older cousin I was not blessed with

[@k2lola]

Im in my twenties now and this video was much needed!! One thing Im experiencing in my 20s is pocket watching!! Like Im in my career why dont I make $________ I think that other people make $________ why dont I?!? And I have to realize I just need to get the experience and the money will come

[@gracescott4669]

This was so very encouraging!! I'm turning 31 this year and still trying to figure everything out but it was nice to know I wasn't alone in some of the mistakes I made in my 20s. Thanks Jackie!

[@yeseniafigueroa3294]

I turned 22 today, and for a moment, I didn't let myself truly soak in the fact that I am now 22 and should be grateful for another year of life. I constantly feel the pressure of having my life look and be a certain way. However, 21 taught me a lot even though to this day I'm still trying to love the fuck out of life even when I feel like throwing myself in a hole 6 feet deep. Thank you Jackie for reassuring me and for knocking some sense into me.

[@aisham29]

As someone who's about to turn 30 in a couple of weeks, I've been doing a lot of reflecting. This is such a word, and I loved it! Thank you!

[@trulyterica7462]

As the oldest of 4, when you do these types of videos it feels like I have the big sister I’ve always wanted and always tried to be💗 much love

[@coramcvey270]

Folake popping up shook me - I thought it was like an AI speaker who used your voice 😂😂 I was like damn look at you miss high tech

[@nellieswartz8724]

i have been realizing some of these things as i start heading towards the end of my twenties, and i so wish i knew them from the beginning of my adulthood. like, i am excited about my future right now instead of feeling like i have to do literally everything right. love you jackie, been watching every single one of your videos for a long time now, and you are always so real and i appreciate it a lot
