Surviving Your 20s | Moving, Finding a Job & Money | with Rosianna.

[@mothcub]

I think the worst thing about job rejections is when there's no feedback and you're like OH IT'S JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT ME THEN, GREAT

[@BenAldersonAuthor]

TO EVERYONE! THIS VIDEO IS VERY IMPORTANT AND CONTAINS REALLY GOOD ADVICE! WATCH WATCH WATCH

[@HeatherForeverBooks]

I enjoyed this video so much! I'm 24, as well, and still haven't figured much of this out. In your next video, you should address trying to balance following your passion with actually making enough money to support said passion.

[@merlinHPtwilight]

Not to worry about being rejected for a job because you learn from it and you get better at it... Very encouraging message! Makes me less anxious about applyig for jobs when the time comes :)

[@ritajlwang]

I enjoyed this video so much I delayed going to bed for three hours working on a closed caption submission for it. Great job ladies!

[@booksandquills]

Ohh perfect! Can you let me know when you've sent it? I've never done them before.

[@ritajlwang]

+booksandquills I sent them right before I commented! I think they get sent for community review. It was my first time doing it as well so I'm not quite sure how it works.

[@AlannieM]

+PaintedRuefully I reviewed them. You did a great job!

[@ritajlwang]

Alannie Marshall Thank you so much! And thanks for reviewing them :)

[@booksandquills]

+PaintedRuefully Ace! I've worked it out and they're now live. Thanks so much to both of you!

[@baileyblickenderfer2266]

I am actually only 18 and moving out and this is all such great advice. I was very aware of additional costs when moving out because I have watched my siblings processes of moving out but I do think that a lot of people don't understand all the deposits and things they'll have to put down. And rent isn't the only new bill that comes with moving out, you need to pay utilities and for internet and everything. Things a lot of kids don't realize that have just been paid for before. The importance of having money saved is so crucial. Do not move out because you have the exact money you need to do it! Something will go wrong and you should always have back up!

[@thejammiestjam]

Agreed with everything! Especially the part about setting up a savings. I don't have as much in mine as I'd like to have, but it's motivating to see it grow!

[@spaghettiyeti6408]

I'm turning 20 next month and the thought of it all absolutely terrifies me, so thanks for making this video! It's nice to see things like finance and housing getting discussed as I feel like many people don't get any help with those kind of life skills, which can make adulthood very daunting! :)

[@rachaelharrison7302]

This video is great! I am 26 and have been living in London for two years now. This seems like the diary of my life from then till now! It's nice to hear we're all surviving in the same way, together. Thank you :)

[@onlymargi]

I loved this video! I'm 21 and the stress of not having a student loan with paying rent with just a part time job is taking its toll. Now that I have enough money for food again (thanks mum) and this great guide to help me I know not to be so hard on myself! Love how this video reminds me of a big sister littler sister scheme we used to have at school!

[@Justasweird]

how to be a better person with rosianna and sanne is literally my fav

[@wowitsella]

I love this! Some great advice. Especially in terms of budgeting and money - hearing it spoken out loud like this really makes me go yep yep I need to do that. Thanks ladies!

[@firewordsparkler]

Currently applying for all of the internships, so I really needed to hear that it's all part of the process.

[@AriannaMae]

Such a great video, it's so great to hear other people around my age talk about how they're making it all work! :)

[@eawilker]

These are some of my favorite videos from y'all, they're really informative but somehow also encouraging? I'm currently really struggling with financial planning so it's nice to hear this kind of stuff.

[@rocknregalia]

So cute! I am way past my twenties, and really had a different experience than most because I had completed university when I was twenty, was married a few weeks before turning twenty-one, and owned my own newly built home, where I still live, before I was twenty-two. I know that this is an atypical story, so it is interesting to see how most other people, including most of my friends, live. It is so foreign to me as an experience.

[@clau]

Loved this video :) And I'm planning on moving to London quite soon, so really, really helpful!

[@LuciaMontesEN]

Loved this video! :) You've honestlty talked about all my worries/things I'm going through at the moment.

[@diinalens]

I'm turning 19 on the 28th so this vide is very much needed! Thanks! I look forward to the next one.

[@RukayaCesar]

This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm 21 and have just moved to London and job-wise I definitely came here with a bit of rose-tinted glasses on. I knew it wasn't going to be easy to get a job straight away but it's sad how lacking in jobs the creative (and theatre for me) industry is in terms of what I'm looking for! Not giving up though. One bit of advice I'd give is to be ballsy, don't be afraid to ask companies if they happen to have jobs available and send your CV over to them, even if they don't have anything available now they may have something come up soon and they'll already know about you. That's what I'm hoping for me anyway! Thanks for the advice ladies :)

[@TasteInPlacebo]

Yay I'm glad you're doing a part two. This was great.

[@roscoepounds]

The jungle gym was my big takeaway from lean in as well. Such a useful thing to remember.

[@DamizinhoBr]

Thanks for put subtitles on your videos, im learning English and your videos have helped me a lot

[@kimchrysanthemum]

Thank you for this! I'm struggling and this has given me an immediate boost of confidence :)

[@littledevonnook]

This was great :) definitely needed some of this advice as I'm planning on moving out very soon! Thanks ladies!

[@NiAs91]

This is really helpful, thank you so much. My time at university is coming to an end, which is stressing me out a bit, but you took some fear away :)

[@elliesandpancakes]

I find a budgeting app where I keep track of everything I spend really helpful. Also, there's this great article on the Billfold called A Story of a F*** Off Fund about the importance of saving. Looking forward to part 2.

[@eufreaka]

This was very informative and interesting! Thanks for all the tips can't wait for part 2. I love how most of these hacks apply to anyone around the world.

[@mysimsaddiction]

Thank you so much for this video!(: I am almost 21 and struggling with a lot of aspects of adult life right now. I'm a student and still live at home and have noooo money

[@franug]

I'm living with my fiancee since December, and so far we have been managing our money well, but cleaning not so much...I think it's a great idea to implement a cleaning schedule! thanks for the tip

[@amyamyamy17]

And that's why it's good to live together before you get married!

[@franug]

amyamyamy17 hahah I guess so! But up until nothing has been bad, so yay :) I just think we need to create a cleaning system so that part is organized efficiently ;)

[@JacquieVlogsHere]

Love this, thanks for the great advice ladies! :) I just turned 22 & I'm about to finish up university, so all of this will be stuff I'm figuring out in the very near future. Pretty nervous!

[@Dortevl]

I would think this is really good for people in the beginning of their 20's, will you make one for people in the middle of their 20's too?

[@rebekah-maytaylor8830]

The best advice I've ever received RE saving money/having an emergency fund is to put 10% of your wages away every time you get paid. I've always done this, I was lucky enough to be able to put a lot of my maintenance loan and grant away while I was at uni as well so that that was there to tide me over between finishing uni and getting a job. I've found that putting 10% of my wages away has helped me to save up a fairly big amount of money considering I've only been working for seven months. I've also started allotting myself a certain amount of money to spend on myself so that I can still have fun and socialise and treat myself, pay all of my bills, and have some money left over just in case, and if that money is still left over at the end of the month it goes into my savings as well. It's taken me a while to get here (the first few months I went wild because I was finally getting some money consistently) but I'm getting there!

[@elspethnicholson2409]

Trying to find a flat next year for uni at the moment and this was so helpful!

[@MariekevanMil]

I have been thinking about moving to London after I've finished my master's, so this video was really helpful!

[@biancavictoria8746]

on the money budgeting, i use an app called CoinKeeper and you can put how much money you have in your bank account and your wallet and everytime you spend money you just drag money and drop it into different sections labeled things like groceries, house, transport etc. you can budget how much you want to spend a month in each of those sections and it's really handy to keep track of where your money goes!

[@springonion8124]

I'm only 16 so I probably don't need to worry about this yet, but hearing words like "financial planning" and "deposit" almost gave me a panic attack...

[@averekriz]

Omg I am 16 too. SO TRUE.

[@alrightspock]

+Leviosa Lily It's good to begin saving up now (even if your parents claim they'll pay for it). :) No reason to panic.

[@cfloster]

+Leviosa Lily actually if you start saving 400 dollars a year from ages 16-19 and put that in a retirement fund, you will have a lot of money (like 50,000 dollars) for retirement. It's never too early to start saving because compound interest is your friend.

[@BrekkeEl]

I'm in the last week of my 20s and I'd add to this: start thinking about retirement now. Retirement is based on compound interest. So even if it's one a little that you can squirrel away, it's worth doing. I think these are great tips - I wished someone would have warned me about security deposits when I was 23!

[@nojerama1996]

I'm turning twenty in six months, so this is a massive help

[@bejhall13]

Omg, I was the one that suggested this topic to Lucy. Thank you guys : )

[@21hazza]

Great advice. Thanks guys

[@moeandmir]

I love these advice/life videos!

[@jessysarazin8073]

Loved that video so much! Thanks you

[@DollyPopCorp]

Tip: It may sound basic but if you like certain small, independent cafes/shops/businesses, follow their social media pages, as that's where they will post their job listings first, so you can get in there fast and potentially get the job. That's how I got mine :)

[@MariannesStudio]

I love your advice videos! very encouraging indeed... x

[@bece7870]

Great video, very useful things to thing about. Also where is Rosianna's top from? Because it is great and I've never seen anything like it.

[@Marjorie91]

Apartment tour? :D

[@myself9099]

Very helpful! ☺️ Thank you!

[@3dotmatrix]

Yay can't wait for part two!

[@eloa5]

Even thought I'm 24 I'm still stressed about my life. I'm doing my MA now and having a job is not really an option soooo I'm jobless and really stressed about the future. thanks for the video so much!

[@lemonlemonster]

Another great channel that talks about finances is Mike and Lauren. They also do some DIY and travel videos.

[@emiliebouchard5594]

If I could recommend one thing about living with roommates is to NOT text housing stuff! A lot can be miscommunicated, it can sound very passive aggressive, and then lead to bad arguments... where you get to see how you and your roommate deal with terrible blow-up arguments (I saw a side of myself I definitely did not expect!). So like Rosianna said, just talk it out, communicate!

[@findhiswheezy]

I'm 20 and I feel like I have a mental breakdown at least once a week about growing up :/ but this was really calming and helpful!!

[@cindy6230]

I'm 17 and same, as almost EVERYONE asks about my further life plans, and I'm like "I DON'T KNOW". 😖

[@amyamyamy17]

Guys in the US- a guarantor is also known as a co-signer. :) though I believe you can only do that up until a certain age. Last I checked where I live, anyway.

[@MissRazingSTAR]

I'm 18 now but already looking for an apartment with two other friends in Amsterdam. We're all studying/starting uni in september and we don't want to live with strangers. It's so hard, Amsterdam is so expensive and so many people won't rent to students. But it'll be okay, we'll find something eventually. I know I'll be able to live with them, too. We'll be fine I think :).

[@Ursulaardeedaar]

I love your bedsheets!! where are they from?

[@Gladysjelly]

I am 20, such a beneficial video!

[@jellyfishing4852]

these videos are so great!

[@cutekid232]

Thank you! x

[@queenlucysroyalmaid1]

For two years I lived with a passive aggressive housemate, and it was HORRIFIC. It's such an immature and ridiculous way to be, and I've gotten to the point where I won't be upset by it anymore. If they won't tell me what's wrong, there is NOTHING I can do to change. It will not bother me anymore. But it did take me almost three years to develop that attitude. :/ so I agree, DON'T BE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE.

[@melocotonki]

this was so useful! :D thank you

[@hannabookishthoughts1502]

I like your videos together

[@Saphira46]

I'll finish school this year and I'll be off to uni by next year... and I don't think I'm ready to deal with anything regarding living alone and being responsible for myself. This is all so scary, especially deciding what to study because it determines what jobs I'll be able to do later. If I get accepted into one anyways.

[@mothcub]

The idea of living with other people who aren't like my best friends for life who I've known for 500 years scares me, I honestly don't know how other people deal with that! I'm a scaredy cat.

[@thomasliangus]

Ladies, your skin color is gorgeous!

[@slmca_94]

My god I love this!!!

[@PrincessJasmineFliesAway]

I recommend HOWTOADULT, yes they are an American channel but a few of their videos apply universally and I heavily recommend them!

[@Bookworm5589]

I'm turning 27 this year and I still don't know fully know how to survive my 20's

[@AcceberSk]

I applied for jobs for months. But I was lucky to get the first one I interviewed for.

[@AsmrElixir]

It just hit me that I'm going to be turning 20 this year. Oh man. This is real. These are things I'm going to have to think about soon. Ok, yes.

[@MasterAppels]

Regarding budgeting and general saving, I think people who grew up in a middle class family find it easier than people from a very well off, rich, or very low income family. Growing up you had money but still had to save to get that thing you wanted. Coming from a rich family you might not have needed to save to buy that console, for example, and on the other end of the scale you might have never had any money so now you don't know how to manage it carefully.

[@amyamyamy17]

I'd have to agree with this. I'm quite good at saving when I need to!

[@TheDeliverance90]

loved the Video. I am 25 and feel everything you just said;)! except the rent in Berlin isn't as mad as it is in London! I lived there too, some years ago and loved it so much, but I don't actually now how you can afford living there as a student...everything is so freaking expensive! anyways, looove your lipstick!!! what is it? :) love from Berlin! bye.

[@ZackRekeSkjell]

How do you deal with a flatmate with a girlfriend/boyfriend that stays over at least a couple of times a week without paying rent?

[@booksandquills]

I think that's fine, as long as it doesn't get too crazy. Assuming that that flatmate will be staying at theirs a couple of times a week too probably.

[@ZackRekeSkjell]

I guess it's just to deal with it. But the girlfriend lives with her parents, so the staying over is one sided.

[@booksandquills]

Ahh yeah that makes it a bit more difficult! Maybe if it's more than 3 days a week it's something you could bring up?

[@booksandquills]

And maybe thing about how you would like your flatmates to approach it if you were in the same situation :)

[@spaceandwoods]

+Marie Reichelt I live with my parents and stay over at my boyfriends house a few times a week (some weeks once or twice, some weeks four nights in a row) without paying rent. I'm pretty sure his flatmate doesn't care, but I would totally appreciate and understand it if she would talk to my boyfriend and/or me when it's bothering her. You totally made me aware of the fact that it can be annoying, so thank you for that!

[@jindijoosten8562]

I love this... soooo relevant! I'm 22 and I'm still wondering how the hell to survive the rest of my 20s hahaha

[@ChelseaJeanBentley]

+rosianna what did you find questionable about Lean In? Just curious :)

[@somanypetals]

Re: budgeting I really recommend YNAB to everyone, and if you're a student you can email them your student ID and get it for free too. It's helped me soooo much with how I spend my money.

[@EmilyCalladine]

aah this was so helpful!

[@NeeruchopraLifestyle]

you too are too cute! I love your videos lots of Info good going x

[@jenskosmos]

I'm 19 and so so scared for the future..

[@EternalFail]

This video came at a great time for me because my boyfriend and I want to move out but omg everything is so expensive! I just want a nice apartment that isn't in a basement because I work in a basement, I don't want to go home to one, and it's so hard to find. especially since I eventually want to adopt a cat and there aren't very many pet friendly places where I live .-.

[@SwirlyGirlyReads]

I should do a video on surviving your forties!

[@lanepickett3638]

I love The Financial Diet!

[@shannonsnextchapter]

Important lessons :)

[@disasterpastor12e16]

I used to budget for every 6 days, now I'm not so tight with money I budget for every 18 days: which is about $180 for food and $90 for non-food. I have budgets for other things like laundry at $1/day. I can't get too in-depth because this is the internet.

[@PokeWarrior]

Watching this, I feel like I'm absolutely failing my 20s. I'm 23 and I've never had a job. It's literally one of the hardest things to do, look for work in the creative industry when you haven't gone to uni. And I'm now in a situation where I can't go because I wouldn't be able to live on the little money I'd get. Only thing I'm doing good at is living without my Dad, and that's because my housemate is my brother ha.

[@amyamyamy17]

Beggars can't be choosers- look for *any* job. Any job will give you experience. Creative things can be done in your spare time so you don't have to just give it up, but you need to be working so you need to start looking outside of your desired field.

[@sabrinadiazgraside]

+amyamyamy17 yes. this reminds me of Casey Neistat, if you don't know him check out his vlogs, he talks about this topic a lot. His first job was washing dishes, the guy is now a huge film maker and business entrepreneur, still he believes washing dishes taught him a lot, and yeah just check that out, inspiring af.

[@xxfrancesnthomasxx]

I'm 20 and currently studying English lit so this was useful haha! :)

[@sophiesmith2741]

Low-key love that you said your perspective is from white women in London, puts a bit more realism into for me as a black woman :)

[@gcatherinev]

the tip about not being passive aggressive is so important. haha

[@iloivar]

I'm well into my 30s and still trying to get a handle on all this stuff.

[@GemMcLean]

I'm turning 20 in less than a week and everyone talks about your "twenties" as this like dreaded time in your life and I'm kind of freaking out!

[@chloedelegrange5548]

I'm 20, still at uni. I'm terrified.

[@jors9]

oh, I LOVE The Financial Diet, they taught me everything about money there is to know. Check them out, everyone!! ❤️

[@natalieemma5688]

so glad theres gonna be a part 2! love from a broke 23 year old mess 😂

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I'm 22 and have no idea what I'm doing :')

[@lumos7549]

exactly the same

[@aoibhk7786]

I'm 20 next year, so scared lmao

[@iliveinmyhead]

I got 2 job rejections while I was watching this video.

[@NJ-uy8ht]
