hey Khang, great video as always, but real talk: I've been subscribed to your channel for I think over half a year now. I initially found it from your "What $1600 Gets You in Seattle" video. Since then I've moved cross country to Seattle myself from the Midwest. A lot has changed in my own life, part of it was your video which motivated me. That's why it really does pain me to see that your channel and your viewership has not really grown all that much. I can see that you have the passion, you have the personality, and you have the editing to make it big in the world of finance youtube, but clearly something isn't clicking. Sure, you have videos here and there with a few thousand views, but the majority of them have like 200 views or less. I think part of it may be that budgeting is a set it and forget it kind of process. As long as you understand the fundamentals and have discipline, there is no need to repeatedly watch content related to it. The monthly budgeting series are cool, and its interesting to see a youtuber being so open about their finances for once, but it doesn't exactly make for exciting or interesting content. Going forward, something has to change with your content, otherwise you will just be stuck in stagnation forever. Unfortunately, I don't know what that change needs to be, nor do I really have any ideas. I just know that "Budget with me | May 2026" is not going to be the video that changes your life. Hope I'm not being too harsh. At the end of the day it is up to you where you want this youtube channel to go. Best wishes.

Hey @artemisfowl3998. Thank you so much for this comment, Im happy to hear that one of my videos made a positive impact on someone, that is the whole reason that I started out making youtube videos! I fully agree with your opinion on the budgeting videos. When I started making them I thought that it would be an interesting experiment and something that I myself would enjoy watching ( I assumed others would agree lol ). I think mid way though the year I realized that it wasn't really working but was too stubborn to cut my losses. I do think that it was a good exercise of my editing muscles; but ultimately i will stop with the monthly budgeting videos ( I think that this content would probably be better off on something like IG reels or TikTok anyways ). Thank you again for your kind and honest message, your critique was fully valid and I really appreciate it! ❤️

Awesome video, love the transparency and your thought process when it comes to investing!

Great video Khang. Your finance videos are always informative and transparent. KZbin can be a slow grind sometimes, but you are doing well. I am sure when you get to 1000 subscribers the growth will be faster. More grease to your elbow! Your hard work will pay off soon.
