Q&A: What my HUSBAND & I do for a living? Age? TEENAGE BRIDE! Ethnicity, Money $$ | Mel in Melbourne

[@MelinMelbourne]

PLEASE READ TILL THE END: Ok this is officially my longest video! Lol I got soooo many questions from you guys! It’s a long one but it’s raw and honest and I tried very hard to answer as many questions as possible. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me better, it’s always a bit scary and nerve racking sharing personal details. However I’m so glad I made this video and I too also want to learn more about my #faMELy! Pls comment one fact or anything about yourself you want to share with me. It can be as personal or as random as you want. As so many of us are quarantined right now let’s take the time read each other’s comments and even get conversations going. I love our community, our family. I love and appreciate you all so much! We are all in this together! Stay safe and a big big virtual hug from me to you xo Mel

[@stephaniem8760]

Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us ❤ it is truly lovely getting to know you better 😘 I want to recommend strathberry handbags to you. I have two and they are lovely quality and very durable (I use them as my everyday handbags) 👜🛍 lots of love xxxx

[@BrianJLovell]

Its very nice to see a more personal side from you Mel! Fact: I always show your OOTDs and Bags and SLGs to my girlfriend as an inspo for her!

[@martafornasari2302]

Hi Mel! This was definitely your best video! When you talked about your son I felt so emotional... Thank you so much for sharing all this personal things with us: I'm form Italy and especially in this time I'm so happy to have one of your video to distract from the situation... Can't wait for the part two! I send you a visual hug! Marta

Seeing you put in so much time pining all the questions up, make me wanna appreciate so much. Mel, even though I dont commment much, but you are definetly so inspiring, beautiful, cheerful to watch.Your honesty and genuiness are gold to all of your followers. Thank you for doing the video!

[@chenyangg_]

This is officially the BEST Q&A I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I just graduated and got a full time position with a company I love, all your advice are absolutely amazing... I’m not living in the same country as my family at the moment, and this video really did warm my heart, it makes me feel less alone. ❤️

[@MelinMelbourne]

Chen Yang wow thank you so much! What a compliment! I’m glad I could brighten your day and please know you are NEVER alone xx

[@joyjoyjoyful]

I teared up when you spoke about your son... you described him as your "SONshine." I can see the love that you have for him. Thank you for being so transparent and vulnerable, Mel. You don't owe us anything yet you still opened up. Love you and your channel. Hope you and your family are well!

[@kyledacer2688]

Mel, you’re literally so humble and i can only pray you never change (or if you do for the better!). The BEST and rawest Q&A i’ve ever watched and never felt once that this was an hour long! I was so giddy when you were sharing how you met your hubby, it was so cute!!! Thanks Mel for sharing your life with us. You reminded me exactly why it’s important to have God to be the centre of every relationship. God bless you more!

[@lifewithmj6907]

This has to be the most honest and heartfelt Q&A I’ve ever seen on YT. Loved hearing you talk about your kids and husband. :)

Thank you so much my dearest xo

Being authentic and vulnerable to KZbin community, bravo to you.

[@cctwentynine]

Love your story! We got married at 19 (also finished a year of college first) and will be entering in year 21 married this year & 24 together. It definitely gets better and better with age. We have collected multiple degrees, nurtured a career and built a family of character together. I love & look forward to entering into the next phase of empty nest life soon. Parenting young teen adults is the new challenge but so far so good but it is hard letting go.

[@tigresse969]

Just watch the full thing! It's funny cause im not even into luxury and would probably never buy a designer bag (not that i don't find them very nice or whatever), but i just love who she is! I think she's so nice and kind! I do catch myself often comparing and thinking that these people have more income than me, or these people have a nicer relationship or they have it all (money, wedding, family, happiness, health, etc). But she is so humble she makes me appreciate whatever i have, which is already a lot! Stay yourself, i'll keep listening! :) And to anyone watching: You are beautiful and i'm proud of what you achieved, whatever it is!

[@novwin1058]

I second that.

[@SueMaeEveryday]

Um, who else saw the video length and was like “I’m not sure if I can commit that amount time”. Who then proceeded to watch the entire thing? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Loved getting you know you more Mel. You had a lot of challenges in your past and present, and you handled everything so well and on top. Inspiring and loved your poem at the end. ❤️

[@angieteng6433]

Mel can I be totally honest with you - you video is so calming and soothing, thanks so much for sharing all these stories and your life journey with us. I appreciate your genuine answer and transparent attitude to all the questions raised. I enjoyed this 54 mins video and it literally feels like you are an old friend to me... thanks again for sharing all these. Women power and community bond!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Aww thank you so much Angie! That is such a compliment, I wanted to answer everything brutally honest lol as we all go through our trails and tribulations. So glad you felt it was like we were old friends sharing. Thanks so much for watching the whole video my dear xx

[@leejane1082]

Hi Mel. It is so good to see a youtuber to share realistic financial ideas. I see so many younger women obsess with luxury goods and would go into debt for them. I really hope influencers can educate the younger generation about priorities and how to obtain luxury items sensibly.

[@rosalindmason9242]

I got married at age 19 and now I am 59 and still love my husband as much as I did when we were very young and our eyes met 'across a crowded room'!. In fact in some ways we love each other more now because we have a whole shared history of life adventures together. I think that being Christians has helped us stay together because the Bible perspective of what love really is has been a good foundation for us. 1 Corinthians 13. Difficult to do but very rewarding.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Rosalind Mason thank you for sharing! I agree with you, I don’t think we would have survived if it wasn’t for God and understanding what true unconditional love is. Love is a choice xx

[@gatoperson97]

Beautiful!

[@mackenziesmith5861]

These kinds of videos and your honesty is why we have this community here. I love how you don't shy from the hard questions, and your approach to the harder parts of life is admirable - don't let anyone tell you different.

@@MelinMelbourne it's tough times out there, and even when the world is acting "normal" seeing how genuinely happy you are when you add to your collection is infectious in the best kind of way. It's us who should be thanking you.

[@angyeliz]

The picture of you on your wedding is so beautiful. Not just facially (duh) but the happiness.

[@Msbouncy456]

Mel, I absolutely love how you're such an incredible guiding figure. Too many youtubers out there are young and rich and spend their money frivolously without ever talking about their low points, creating very warped ideas of what is normal to young viewers. I love how you're a literal mum so you give such amazing advice regarding things like finance, managing time etc. I dont even personally see myself being a luxury collector, but you have such amazing energy that draws me in and I see you as such an amazing role model. I just moved from SG to study in Monash, so hopefully I can continue walking in footsteps similar to yours and find my own definition of happiness :)

I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad to hear your answers. I rarely see someone as humble, authentic, and warm person. Keep up the positivity 💕😊

Watching your videos help me blow off steam from my heavy academics, and also serve as my inspiration to work harder because I wanna help a lot of people and do a lot of shopping and travel when I'm older :) Cheers Mel, keep safe 💕

ah mel, this type content is the probably the best part of watching you. it's so nice to know your background and makes me love u more. you seem like a genuinely lovely person and I'm glad you have a great life from all your hard work.

[@nicoleyamin2516]

During this difficult time for everyone going through this virus, for me personally feeling very emotional as Im going through a tough time in my career and nearly made me cry hearing your personal challenges (mine is accepting compliments being so awkward about them) and journey and reminds me to not just think about the now and seem like its a dead end but looking long term at our careers, life in general as a journey until our very last breath it will than stop. I truely teared hearing your story and thankful that people like you exist and felt a connection being isolated and part of a community with you, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.

Hi Mel, I came across Charis' chanel about a bag collection collaboration with you and I thought I'd check out your channel as well and this is the first video of yours that I've seen so far. I just wanted to say, from one woman/mom/wife to another, who have very similar family background, who love fashion and OMG luxury bags lol, I commend you for being real, honest and vulnerable. There's a ton of fake people out there and It's a breath of fresh air to see organic people. I truly appreciate it. ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with starting a family really young (we did too :) as long as the kids are taken care of and most of all we're happy. I can't wait to see your other videos. I've got time since we're quarantined for a while. Bless you and your family and MORE and MORE power to you. Stay healthy and safe. Your friend from Canada ❤️💕❤️

This is not just limited you owning items you worked more than 10 years on luxury products and hencforth collecting it is part of your work and passion. Your values on donation rasing kids well,sharing close bond is impeceble. Thanks for this lovely video...i learnt a lot from you.

You are an inspiration and spiritual! I was a young bride too - married and had my first child at 20. It's trying and scary but we do what we have to do - we want it all - just a little earlier than expected but it's all good. My 'kids' are now 41, 38 and 27! All are successful and happy. I actually retired early and loving watching your vids. Carry on! I'm now 62 but feel 40 and carry the bags - go us!
