That spatula really helps understand the gravity of financial planning, nice touch

[@TaylorBell]

thank you, I tend to agree

[@thegoldman25]

As someone who went full time as a creator 4 months ago, I’m so interested to see the business end of other KZbinrs. Keep it up!

[@TaylorBell]

Let's gooo congrats! And yay, more to come 😎

[@make760perday-]

I’ve never seen this topic presented so clearly. You’ve made me realize that success comes from adapting, not from sticking to the same approach.

[@TaylorBell]

The highest compliment I could receive!! Thank you 🥹

[@PRATYAKSH-cp4ms]

Taylor your talking way and your nature always make us very satisfying and happy , and thanks for this such information ❤

[@mattiebigtime]

At 12:27, this is why I know you're actually paying attention to the economy and not repeating nonsense from certain news and social media organizations.

[@nathanyoder4509]

Love the whiteboard spatula. Really interesting video. I have thought about creating a channel/page for a long time, and I appreciate the detail. Hope your New Year is starting well!Your hair looks great by the way!

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks so much Nathan!! Hope your year is starting off great too 😊

[@Ignacioccc]

Happy new year Taylor!

[@TaylorBell]

You too! 🥳

[@livtyart]

I am graduating college this year and planning to take my business full time, your transparency is incredibly appreciate and I am using it as a great reference of how other self employed creators structure their finances. Thank you!!

[@AbdullahAhmed-cn7jr]

Hii

[@theclumsymisshome]

Appreciate the well-detailed content of this video, very easy to absorb. The highlight for me though is Taylor using a spatula to move the hair out of her face. 😀Jokes aside, love this educational video, Taylor. Missing your NYC strolling video!

[@AgandIron]

Great work! The seasonality of income is something my business definitely has to plan for, and taxes... I need more write-offs.

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you!! hahahaha just beware of the write off trap! 🙈

[@MsStoler]

Taylor this is GOLD!!! Please keep making these transparent financial videos (esp love the investing parts!!!) 😍😍😍😍😍😍 looooove them!!!

[@Albie-l5t]

And I love the images you produce, with just a phone...

[@FranMariee]

"I budget based on vibes". Love it!

[@theashleyedits]

I just started my channel this week (woohoo!) and I’ve binged so many of your videos to help me build a runway. You have such a great way of adding actionable value!

[@TaylorBell]

let's freaking goooo CONGRATS! What a fun time you're about to have, keep it up.

[@JuliaRanaM]

I click FAST for Taylor 🐢

Hi Taylor, longtime viewer, long time subscriber!!! Yes. you are absolutely correct about the "write-off" trap!! Caught myself a few years ago doing this!! I had an accountant review and "approve" the "write-offs" now I see how much sense it makes to budget for write offs!! Thank you for the information!! 🐢

[@TaylorBell]

hellooo!! Omg yes the write off trap is real. Thank you for watching!!

[@Jack_Clemans]

Congrats on 1 Year!! I always love the financial transparency. Also love referring to irregular income as "Lumpy, Chunky income". Definitely stealing that for my personal finance clients. 😋

[@TaylorBell]

Thanks Jack!!! Agreed, lumpy chunky is the most logical description of all

[@rafaelalvaradoproducciones1061]

Happy new year Miss Taylor, I enjoy a lot learning about how to be successful on KZbin with the several topics you teach. Way to go!

[@Sami_Sami-z4io]

Everything Taylor says is beautiful, even the word hello. ♥️✨️

[@DadBodtoBadDad]

Let’s go, thank you for helping me grow!

[@TaylorBell]

Woohoo!! Thanks for being here! ☺️

[@marccolomayt82094]

This is so good! I’m happy for you Taylor❤❤

Congrats on your 1st year ☺ Thank you so much for your transparency and for sharing so much knowledge with us!

[@karymefranca7568]

Yayyy! Happy new year! Always appreciate your transparency! Go go go Teacher Taylor !!🐢❤

[@caitlinhoey841]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Taylor! I like how you include asking questions (even if it's you asking yourself a question 😄 It's an important part of learning!) Happy New Year!

[@TaylorBell]

aw thank YOU for watching!!! Happy new year to you too 😊

[@MrAmmo2021]

Happy new year. I'm upset about you replacing the turtle with the horse but the pun was funny. Owning property anywhere is a great investment and hopefully for you're thinking on a larger scale than most

[@TaylorBell]

Happy new year!!!! Turtle will return 🫡

[@alexandragoenmph]

Thank you for taking the obscurity away from finances in the creator space. I've had all these questions before and now I have answers. Yay!

[@TaylorBell]

yayyyyy so happy to hear this was helpful

[@2224jrock]

Think this is my 2nd year of being subscribed to you? Anyway happy for the growth you've had in that time and love the transparency! Assuming you will but plz keep us updated on your real estate venture if/when you do it!

[@TaylorBell]

Absolutely will! And thank you so much, I appreciate you sticking around!!

[@mo-ft3ml]

omg miss bell this might be your best video yet

[@michael7054]

Great video! I love these financial videos of yours! I think if you keep making life in New York City videos, some travel videos, and some financial videos like this, then you should be set for the next few years! I really enjoyed watching this! 🐢 🐢 🐢

[@TaylorBell]

Appreciate this so much!!! 🐢

[@michael7054]

@TaylorBell You're welcome! 🐢 🐢 🐢

[@debbiepierce9732]

Wonderful video. Well done. Accurate information put into a format that is easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

[@TaylorBell]

thank YOU!

[@dailystockpick]

Great video. I actually made so much money last year on my channel that I have hired an accountant and a lawyer to create a company that’s going to pay me a w2. Then I can have that company have a 401k as well. Add to it the company can be an “education” company and further optimize taxes. But this was such a great video so thank you.

[@AnanthKBandari]

Thank you for being so honest with money.

[@jeannine1991]

Hoping your family isn’t impacted by the fires. 😢 You’re an excellent teacher and your Penn education has served you well

[@Askaa88]

Taylor, weren't you going to Lisbon? Thought we were going to see some travel vlogs. Btw, nice spatula while explaining this hahaha

[@zeke2233]

Lol, your investment strategy including what money market fund you park your money in is similar to mine. Guess I'm doing it right =). Congratz on 1 yr!

[@TaylorBell]

hahahah hell yeah. Thank you!!

[@maheshbaglari7303]

Happy New year ❤

[@Andrew-v2g]

Oh, my God, that green spatula just broke my heart

[@peterpapastafidas5584]

Happy New Year! Wishing you a wonderful 2025! Very informative video .

[@scholarmouse-d8x]

Hearing you talk about investing money and saving for future it always motivates me to do the same also makes me curious about learning more about how it all works.🐢

[@frankb1]

I like "time in the market beats timing the market."

[@federicopersia]

Not the green spatula Tay 😂 I loved this video. Please keep doing more of this kind of content! I wish you a happy and fulfilling 2025! 🐢

[@federicopersia]

P.S. I can’t believe it’s already being a year since you left corporate! Time flies!

[@vaibhav_ny]

ton of value in this video, thanks Taylor.

[@Sami_Sami-z4io]

I am a young man, and Taylor Bell helps me as a role model and example of ambition and success. 👍✨️

[@Liv.Bradford]

I started KZbin not so while ago, a few days ago, I also found out that my QE position was terminated, so I'm getting laid off. Long story short, -thank you for the video, it gives reassurance that KZbin can actually be a source of financial support!

[@nirui467]

Given tech layoffs recently not sure longevity is there for traditional jobs either. I think multiple sources of income is the way of the future for younger generations

[@Damahni]

Taylor gang ✅💰

[@jaimeduncan6167]

To double in what Bell said: never be your own lawyer, and if you can and you have a business or business deals, never be your own accountant. In both cases be an advocate for yourself, study, read doublecheck but don't do it yourself.

[@jimkress5929]

great video, I hope you and your family are ok with the fires nearby. Be safe, need more of Taylor. Thanks

[@TaylorBell]

Thank you so much for checking! They are safe. They’re in an evacuation warning zone, but so far things are looking ok. I know many people who lost their homes today though, it’s devastating :( thank you again for asking I rly appreciate it!!

[@donnalasala48]

This is such an amazing informative video. Great job Taylor! I still say you should be doing youtube and your old job at least til your 33...get ahead as much as you can!

[@adityatiwari5988]

Hello taylor, good video😀

[@bbot16]

Great video. Wanted to point out that money market funds (MMF) are often more tax efficient than a high yield savings account (HYSA) because some MMFs invest in treasuries or municipal bonds, which are often exempt from state, local, or federal taxes, whereas a HYSA is just interest income without any tax exemptions. While comparing the interest rate/yield across both is important, it is also good to look at the tax efficiency and fees

[@whitneysommer2351]

This was so insightful ✨ I hope to apply these strategies when I become a full-time content creator!

[@lukewilson96]

HNY Taylor! Hope your family in LA are safe and okay.

[@sharrodchillin]

Do companies not care about the traffic their product gets from being in a KZbinr's video? For example: If a youtuber put an ad in their video and the video gets 100k views, but only 5 people max actually click on the promo link to check out the product and sign up to it, you still get paid $2,000, JUST cuz u got 100k views? Are they just purely paying based off of the views the video get and just HOPE that your audience check out the product?? Why wouldn't it purely be based on how many people click on the link, that would tell me how much engagement and traffic my product actually got from your video, and they should base the pay off that. I'm not paying big money to somebody off the strength that i'll get a big return...cuz...views.
