WHAT I EARN & WHERE I GET MY MONEY FROM!

[@shalula85]

I hate that people have made you feel like you should justify what you spend your money on!! It's your money, it's your choice! If I earned a decent wage, damn straight I'd be buying a Chanel bag (jumbo, caviar leather btw!) x

[@maraviiia]

I think from - viewer perspective it seems like this could be justification but I actually think from Amie's perspective, she's providing advice and insight based on her experiences (just like her bag videos). I think she took something that would make some people defensive and turned it into something so positive. :)

[@SueLocd]

I agree. Opening your life up on YT sometimes makes people feel like they can just crawl into every area of your life. Justifying what you do with your money is incredible to me... But that's just me I guess because I have the same reaction here in the Netherlands when people expect me to be open about how much I earn. Hmmm, maybe it's a British thing. I guess, we're just much more reserved on the whole...

[@lislourenco8630]

Totally agree!

[@noirepic4750]

carrie c Ha people are just jealous of her.Amie should just do what she wants to do.

[@larang9318]

exactly! you're very gracious about all of this but whatever you make or do is your business. I did watch part of this but really don't care how you afford the things you do

[@sunitasinha6832]

I feel so bad that Amie had to make a video to explain her earnings and her love for things , I mean Amie is one of the nicest person on KZbin

[@ExoticDreams]

Especially when she isn't a fashion blogger who isn't gifted things or that her family/boyfriends doesn't buy her all the bags. If you want nice things in life, gotta work for it! She's should be an inspiration!

[@angea4990]

ExoticDreams She works hard. But what if she didn't have to, would that make her a bad person if she was well off or had the bf to give it to her? No. I think people need to respect anyone regardless where the money comes from.

[@doodlecharmz]

[@lushingbeauty]

Sunita Sinha same thing I was thinking

[@12markito]

Well she did say she's curious about that sort of thing as well, so I doubt she did it out of guilt.

[@maraviiia]

I was worried that this topic would bring out the worst in people (jealous, callous comments and stuff), but I think your graciousness and ability to handle a tricky topic like this will hopefully deter that. You're very modest and hard working and I admire your attitude!

[@anjeboo91]

Yes, gracious indeed. She handled this tricky topic very gracefully

[@anjeboo91]

Yes, gracious indeed. She handled this tricky topic very gracefully

[@annaswanson5903]

I totally agree

[@hayleymarie6013]

I don't want to sound super feminazi or anything, but it really irritates me when I have something high-end or luxury, and everyone assumes my boyfriend bought it for me. "Oh, nice bag! Did your boyfriend buy it for you?" "Your shoes are so cute! Were they a gift from your boyfriend?" What, just because I'm female I'm incapable of making my own money and buying myself expensive things? My boyfriend never gets comments like that on his suits, watches or car. It's really annoying.

[@Joyce019610]

So true! I'm in my maternity leave now, When I go to a high end store shopping with the pram, people always comment how luck I am. What does my husband do etc. I get so annoyed. I worked hard and saved enough money so I can take a full year off with my baby without putting any financial stress on my husband. And I bought most of the staff myself. My husband did gift me something, but I did the same for him. LV wallet, Armani suit, SF shoes, Hermes belt. No one ever asked him. How unfair!

[@mvengarge9666]

Feminazi? Wtf it just shows us how dumb the world is to believe women aren't able to work on their own

[@Yzabell0M]

So sad that in the 21st century we still hear things like that. Even on the Olympics, when a female athlete wins, they HAVE to mention the husband.

[@pinknoted]

What's wrong with someone accepting gifts from their boyfriend anyway? Don't understand why this is looked down upon unless it is out of jealousy.

[@hayleymarie6013]

pinknoted Absolutely nothing. I actually love getting gifts from him :p My issue isn't gifts from my boyfriend, but people automatically assuming anything expensive I have was a gift, basically saying they don't think I'm capable of making my own money.

[@QHuda_A]

you are such a gracious woman and did not have to do this, but understand within our economic climate and people's pointless judgement. I was watching your channel for a year and it's lovely seeing your channel grow. Please never stop doing these beautiful videos. It's rare to have youtubers of my generation in the beauty/luxury category who are educated, experienced career wise and humble in character.

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much for your kind comment :)

[@fateharazak8459]

"Today I do what others won't so tomorrow I do what others can't". Very very inspiring, thanks amie 😊

[@aprilsacluti7862]

ive been a very big fan of your videos for awhile now but have never been curious about your earnings and how you afford your beautiful luxurious items. I avoided watching this video for awhile since i thought you didn't have to justify how you can afford them. but after watching this video i actually admire you a lot more than i did before! You weren't showing off but were very kind & honest about your background. You have what you have because of hardwork and wise decisions! Keep it up Amie.. so many people out there will use this video as a form of inspiration (me included) .. all the best! X

[@ChaseAmie]

thank you so much for your kind comment! :)

[@IuArbie]

"Today I do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't" what a great quote!

[@HildieMcQueen]

I find it interesting how many people feel the need to ask about someone else's spending. Thank you for being so gracious with your responses. As always, you show class.

[@emilymunn558]

“It’s very hard to beat someone that never quits.” That is the darn truth right there! You are incredibly humble even with all your successes. Love watching you Amie! You deserve the very best!

[@rfhnb33]

Annnnnddddddd this is why we adore you! Every single thing about this video is the exact reason why we love you! X

[@sams517]

She was a good sport about the topic of this video. Transparent without being salty and I mean idk, she just sounds mature

[@livingmydream87]

Thank you for being so honest. Money is such a taboo subject and it's refreshing to hear somebody talk so openly without it being a bragging opportunity.

[@AndreaJSeverson]

I feel like there are people on here who deliberately search certain video titles "Chanel unboxing", "handbag haul", etc. simply to dump hate and negativity on those channels. Good for you for turning it into something positive. Heaven forbid a woman earns her own money and spends it on what she wants. Really appreciate what you did with this video Amie, great job. :)

[@phoebeyang8134]

I LOVE that you pulled back the curtain a bit and addressed the sensitive topics of your income and money management. It's great that you encourage your viewers to work hard for what they want too!

[@agnesmh]

"because I like really expensive things" is gonna be the quote I live by when I need motivation for work. It's so true.

[@sonalpatel7641]

What a beautiful way to address the issue you faced...whether out of viewer curiousity or jealousy...massive respect for you after this video...immensely graceful!

[@TheBeautyJournals]

Feel so bad that you felt you had to make this. Your money is your business. X

[@TheBeautyJournals]

And I love your channel. I have no interest in designer bags but watch because I like you as a person. X

[@kariiiinaxoxo]

TheBeautyJournals no, I love this video and I'm glad she addressed it! It's very motivating for me being 22

[@annaswanson5903]

I totally agree

[@ThePatBrs]

I'm so impressed by your candor. You didn't have to explain anything but you turn it into an entertaining and useful video! Hats off to you!

[@Min-cs1bb]

I really hope she knows that she is my role model is every aspect (career.finance.character and discipline)

[@ChaseAmie]

Wow, thank you! An amazing compliment :) xx

[@shannonthompson3274]

Amie Please continue making videos. You have really motivated me into saving for my dream handbag. I am in the process of losing weight (started out at 247 down to 214) and will treat myself once I get to my goal. You are such a joy to watch.

[@SElyas96]

Good luck on reaching your goal

[@shannonthompson3274]

Thank you

[@kloves3lvandcckelli315]

You're inspiring! Can wait for you to get your dream bag!

[@shannonthompson3274]

+kelli loves3 that's so sweet, thank you

[@iggs10]

Well done!!! I think you definitely should treat yourself when you reach your goal!

[@bouncypop]

You are such a class act. I have never seen someone tackle this subject in such a respectful and positive way.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Loved this Amie and a great way to address the subject.. I think it's really poor taste when people speculate about where money comes from and as much as you may be curious, you shouldn't ask. Keep up the incredible work! x

[@exclusiveaddition5491]

Such a positive attitude about this subject. Your personality is so sweet, thank you for handling it with class 💕

[@aurenfaie00]

I just want to say that I love your channel because you cater for real working women with full time jobs. I am a doctor myself, and I completely relate to working hard to get where you are. I really admire how monetarily savvy you are and this is one area that I aim to improve in. It will be helpful to watch a video on how to manage finances for young career women. keep up the good job!

[@Hazeleyesinlove]

I have just come across your channel and I am in total awe of your grace and sophistication. You speak so eloquently. Girl role model

[@erinrussell6068]

Thank you so much for doing this, I think a lot of girls now watch high end videos and think it is a normal aim without having to work their arses off for them, its good to see how much work you put into your life, and hopefully will be a real learning video for a lot of people. I now have a new level of respect for you :)

[@noirepic4750]

Why would people even dislike this? Amie was being genuine showing her perspective on how to save a bag, even saying how people have different priorities. HATERS ARE GONNA HATE😋

[@catherinewilliams990]

One of my favourite quotes is; "The harder you work, the luckier you get." Funny how it works out like that! Great video xx

[@fairytale143]

Amie, I think it's wonderful you address this subject. I certainly get curious about how others afford things (not to hate, just want tips to emulate!). That being said, I also think it's sad that the spike in your viewers' comments have motivated you to make this sort of video. I hope you don't feel like you will always have to explain things to us. We like your personality and your videos regardless. Anyway, really appreciate your constructive advice towards the end and your honest approach throughout your channel. You are an example of hard work paying off. Keep being a role model!

[@ellebabe2370]

Good on you! Great advice at the end. "The harder I work, the luckier I get" is one of my favourites too.

[@emilyrae7761]

I have only just found your channel, however I can easily say that you're the most real KZbinr I've ever watched xx

[@SexyBakanishi]

Will you ever do a second video on how you invest your income as a person who didn't come from a wealthy background with some knowledge advantage

[@TheVictoriaJay]

This is a very helpful, insightful and well made video. Money is often an awkward subject but you talk about it so honestly and eloquently, it's like you're listening to a friend when watching this. Don't want to come across as patronising but I must have a good 5-10 years on you in age yet you seem wise beyond your years and provide advice here I wish I'd adhered to in my twenties! It's true, with a few exceptions, people who earn well do so through hard work and those who maintain their wealth do so by living well within their means. I think you're an excellent role model :)

[@10JWoww]

This is the first KZbinr I have watched that I believe deserves all her possessions. Good for you!

[@deniseedit.]

Good on you for being transparent and honest. Having a full time job and side projects is tough and your purchases are your rewards from all that hard work ... Enjoy them now .. especially in London, before you start a family. Because once that starts, all that extra income goes to the kids.

[@lvega5606]

Depends on what kind of kids you get and if you feel they must have designer clothes. I didnt cost my parents much at all. Never asked for anything, got full scholarships to university, no health care needed except for initial vaccines.

[@FashionFarfalla]

I like all of the tips you shared at the end. You are such a positive person. Surprised you felt the need to share so much about your finances...

[@daylisborn9499]

You are quite possibly my favorite KZbin personality - absolutely lovely, so personable, humble, and more. Love your channel!

[@by.dafneor]

Love this video! This proves that high end fashion and luxury doesn't have to be a shallow topic and that what really matters is who you are and not what you wear!

[@misseali1]

I absolutely LOVE your channel and really respect your advice and opinions. I was in London for the past 10 days on vacation, and not going to lie, I was totally scanning the streets and shops secretly hoping to run into you 😊

[@ChaseAmie]

Ah I'm sorry I didn't bump into you then! I hope you enjoyed your stay here! :)

[@louisegrigg1118]

Omg this would be me😂💓

[@joycequiambao7338]

It's so unfair to get asked how much you are earning to buy what you want! You're one of the realest YTers! Just continue whatever you're doing Amie! Love from MNL!

[@wendyzhang2103]

Cannot believe there are ppl disliking this video.. Great inspiration. I think I'll save this video so whenever I feel lazy I can watch this and motivate myself! Love you!

[@beachgirl9823]

I love to see people (women especially) doing well ... always pushes me to do better. So happy for you 💕

[@lipglossed]

I think you handled this subject with a lot of grace and class. Luxury items are always going to attract a lot of curious people. I think your work ethic is truly inspiring and those are great work/life tips for anyone! Hope you're having a great week! :)

[@maxine949]

Love tip #5. So obvious and true yet I needed the boost and reminder :) Thanks for continuing to put the positive out there Amy! Wishing you continued and endless success.

[@callmeline7677]

I hardly ever comment on videos but I LOVE this one! Such good spirit and vibes you put out.. Love from Germany! xx, Karoline

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much Karoline!

[@DD-ln5no]

You are very well spoken and so sweet and humble about everything!

[@michaelsbbygrl05]

At first, I felt really bad that you even had to post this video. You are such a wonderful, kind person, and you have a great sense of humor and are so open and honest with your videos. I could binge watch your stuff all day! Then I thought, you took experiences that could have made you bitter, and you could have lashed out at the haters, but instead you took the high road, thought positively, and filmed an excellent video giving concise reasons for your success, and how we could do it, too! Your hard work is really paying off, and I'm so glad I'm among the lucky who are benefitting from your KZbin success! May you experience all the joys and happiness a positive, 'go getter' attitude can bring! You and Dan are the best!

[@steptomyhomegirl]

Great video Amie! We definitely agree with living within your means and buying things in cash, like Dan getting a second hand car in cash. Hopefully this opens up young people's minds to smarter spending habits vs. following what everyone else might be doing!

[@TheDervinator]

Amie you are my favorite KZbinr. You are unapologetic about the things you love and never feed into all the hate you get. You always have an articulate and tactful response. You are clearly a highly accomplished, hardworking lady and you deserve every penny you've got and every beautiful piece of clothing and accessories you've bought with your hard earned money. I'm a student, but I really look up to you as an example of what kind of person I want to be when I start my career and move up in the world.

[@Msgoodpuppy247]

I always find it amazing how Amie can speak an entire section without cutting anything out. Every sentence has a purpose and every word adds to the point she wants to make. I hope to speak like you one day! :O

[@Alanabunny]

I respect your work ethic! Could you do a video on your side projects and investments ? Your experience with them, any advice you might have, etc.

[@chantelleemily]

"The harder I work, the luckier I get" - i'll definitely be writing that one down :)

[@elizabethramosdefreitas3060]

Really nice video 😉I never comment but this one was great to see how humble and down to earth you areWell done

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much! :)

[@cindyxu6636]

Thank you for sharing! I feel encouraged I’ll be able to afford the Chanel bag one day 😊

[@JoyJunu]

I have so much respect for you as a person and as a KZbinr. Thank you for not being offended by questions regarding your income, thank you for being understanding and reasonable, and thank you for being so genuine, day and in day out, about every topic. Oh and I really appreciate your little speech about being financially successful despite growing up humble, and your part in dismissing some myths and false-beliefs that are common. You're a true inspiration and def my role model! Keep doing what you're doing :)

[@rebeccacarter3100]

You're so sweet! Honestly people will always talk shit weather you're doing bad or good. You really shouldn't have to justify your spending to strangers but it's nice to see how you break it down financially !

[@pinky8845]

I can't even tell you how much I admire you! You not only work a normal job, you also work hard to develop your other side businesses, I really love you work so hard, and rewards yourself by buying nice things! You inspire me :) Love watching your videos!!

[@TheSophie735]

Great to see someone on youtube not afraid to talk about money ! Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them, keep up the good work 😊

[@catherinetran5903]

I have SO much respect for you and your work ethic. Don't let people get you down, you know you've earned it and you should enjoy it! This is clearly a passion for you.

[@ItsTooLatetoApologize]

I have just recently found your channel and I am so glad I did. You are so refreshing and straight to the point and well spoken. Love your content.

[@FrkenSunshine]

I think in general something that makes me want to follow you is also that you have worked hard to get what you want, but also that it is achievable for me someday in the future. The video was great, non-preachy and I hope you won't be scared to mention money as well! I think it's really important to address if certain items are "worth it" from the reviewers perspective (i.e. you spend a lot of money on bags, but if a quality or use isn't up to standard, then you might not deem it worthy) I hope it makes sense, but anyway thanks for some great videos! Your positivity shines through all of them!

[@dollymixture1000]

So so much respect for you uploading this video, you are an absolute gem in the luxury handbag community.

[@dollymixture1000]

Also in the future I would love to see videos such as how to furnish your home on a small budget, items that look expensive that aren't, meal budget planning and how to start your own business X

[@VVbloglife]

I really liked your video - it is very honest and down to earth. When people see expensive bags or any other type of material things they always tend to consider you as girlfriend of a rich men, or daughter of a rich father. people, generally, forgot that even young girls are able to earn money themselve and buy luxury things just because they work hard and are able to do so. You rock, girl!

[@HKLVOER]

felt like I was losing motivation for the first time since starting my career so really needed this ! feeling motivated this morning !

[@christinaroseman9926]

How positively refreshing and honest this video was...thank you for sharing your personal values so openly.

[@laurendewitt]

It's videos like this that are the reason I love your channel. I've been watching you for the past month and you've really given me the push I needed to work hard and go after what I want instead of sitting around complaining. I set a modest goal for the month in terms of earning and saving and have already well surpassed both!

[@QueenofPrance]

Thank you so much for making this video! Income is such a "down low" topic, it's refreshing to find someone who'll talk about what they earn and how they earn it. Cheers!

[@tammyf8103]

Clearly you are living within your means and work very hard for your money. You can spend your money however you choose. So sorry you had negative comments and felt the need to defend yourself. Thanks for sharing and being so honest. xx

[@lllivivien56]

I love how humble you are! Your video is always straight to the point and very informative.

[@chulalachannel]

this lady is so coherent and vocal and sincere! Go go power lady.

[@shesoverit2302]

It's shocking that people are so tacky that they're concerned about her finances. She's an educated professional woman. Enough said. Well handled though, Amie.

[@emmymorris7648]

Great video! The five tips at the end especially about it being down to hard work and determination rather than luck and connections was particularly motivating! 😃😃

[@jeeen8]

didn't watch this video 'cause i wanted to hear you justify yourself and where money came from, but loved your life/financial advice at the end! they are some points i already try and live by so find it really helpful being reinforced! :)

[@iamzie]

I'm a new subscriber, and I was a little sad that you had to make a whole video explaining things you didn't have to explain, but you ended with such a beautiful message with these life lessons that are so important and relevant! Thank you!

[@chiaravanotti3755]

This video is very inspiring! I admire your hard work and the fact that everything that you buy, even if it may appear very expensive, is sorta of a reward for all the efforts that you put into your work and KZbin :)

[@jenshen71]

I watch your shows all the time and love your shows. Many of them are informational. Thankful for your candid discussion.

[@babyxkiwi]

Amie, I absolutely loved this video. You are so down to earth and such a great role model!

[@dionnelouise371]

Amie, I love you for this. You are so real. People came at you about your finances and you addressed it like it was nothing. Not that it's anyone's business anyway but the fact that you addressed, well..... I salute you girl 👊🏽👏🏽

[@atie714]

Love this, and how humble you ALWAYS are. The hubby and I always have this way of thinking, whenever we buy something more "expensive", people can say whatever they want, but if they don't pay for our bills, it really doesn't matter at all.

[@sophiasmith6111]

I was happy to watch your videos without and explanation to anything - not my business nor anyone else's whether you had hand outs or not ! But good for you girl xxx

[@Candace_K]

I have never seen such a touchy subject approached so well! Beautifully done

[@oldmarriedcouple1]

I subscribed to your channel a while ago because I was so impressed with your philosophy on money at such a young age. I see alot of young people who struggle with it and have a hard time with that concept, work = money = choices. I'm a woman in my late 40's and I can assure you that your money wisdom will give you alot of choice, freedom and security later in life. My husband and I have lived by the same philosophy, you and your boyfriend live by, for over 25 years. We are both retired and live very comfortably. :) I don't say these things to cheer myself I wanted to say them to let you know both your hard work will pay off! And what I love about your channel the most is you live within your means and yet you still make luxury purchases that make you happy. Others watching your channel, I'm sure, are inspired by that. Hard work can get you what you want. :) Bravo to you and your boyfriend!! And keep making these kinds of video's. I know there are others out there who will be inspired. :)

[@arashi43]

I never thought you got any handouts. Your videos showcase how well-spoken and intelligent you are. Still, out of curiosity I clicked on this--so thanks for sharing!

[@BySamWithLove]

You are so relatable! I am totally the same. I've always worked so hard - and I've hustled my way to make things happen. Really impressed with your honesty. Best of luck x

[@slee5963]

i love your practicality! i think sometimes people are so quick to judge a snapshot of someone's life without understanding budgeting/hard work done to achieve those things. i have learned to save the little money i have for travel (and now the occasional bag!) appreciate the advice!

[@chucknight]

I'm a bit torn on this video, on one hand I think it's a shame you felt the need to do it, but on the other, I'm quite happy you did because it's motivated me to get some side projects going. I think it's wonderful that you (and Dan) have such a great outlook towards income and savings!

[@denden390]

Honestly honestly, you have quickly become my FAVOURITE youtuber! Just started as a hospital pre-reg pharmacist, my first ever job and i'm saving for a YSL bag, something ive wanted for so long and have been offered but i have always wanted to buy it for myself. Your videos have been just so uplifting and have given me some amazing tips as to how to save and be responsible with your money, something so unique to youtube i think! After a busy day coming home and watching your videos is honestly something i look forward to haha! Yeah, just thought id say that hehe! Hope you all have a lovely day :D xxx

[@ChaseAmie]

Thank you so much! Honestly, finally being able to buy a bag that you have saved up for is the best feeling! It makes any special bag purchase 100 times better :) Good luck with your job and your saving - I'm sure you'll do awesome at both! :)

[@emu9520]

I haven't even watched this yet but I'm here to say-you seem like such a lovely and hard working person Amie. You can spend your money as you please. I love your channel and I applaud your talent

[@King-eg8qn]

Money, marketing and business videos are my fav content from you. It’s helpful

[@finchleynomad]

Do not let anyone tell you to explain how you got your money.....I'm a Psych Nurse in California and I used to make quite a bit of money plus my mother worked hard and I grew up watching her buy Luxury items from Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton bags. Obviously I too developed a passion for luxury items and when I could afford it I might buy a 2000K dollar bag, but I have been very sick and not able to work so I now buy just 300 dollar bags. Everyone should learn how to cut their coat according to their size and you have every right to do you and know that people like you for you and are not concerned about your pocketbook. Keep making great videos, cause I love them and have your back too :o)

[@ChaseAmie]

I'm so sorry to hear about your illness but thank you for your kind words! Sending lots of love your way xx

[@friscodesignerchick4196]

AGREE! You did not have to make this video! However, I applaud you on how you responded to these inquiries you have received. Very positive in your delivery and spot on in summarizing some of life's many lessons.

[@jennyb610]

Very well played Amie and please read all of the nice comments from everyone. Just because you give us a glimpse into your life and wardrobe etc doesn't mean you owe the Internet any kind of explanation about how you afford your lifestyle. Good for you on all the hard work and future planning - love your channel ❤️

[@olyoaks4594]

I admire your humility, and the way you think and plan. Well done.

[@loriweinrib4866]

Good for you!!!! You are a hard worker and only you should decide how to spend your hard earned money!! This was very gracious of you to address this topic!!

came across your channel today and with this video you have earned another supporter. you have a good head on your shoulder, may God always bless you

[@FruityCupcakes22]

Hi Amie, I love your handbag videos, but I also thoroughly enjoy your money-saving/practical advice videos because they are very informative and inspirational. I would love for you to do more of these videos in a mix of your usual handbag videos. Thanks for the great content! Xx

[@misskrys9532]

Such an inspiring video. As they say money can't buy u class... Like u said u guys are frugal with your money. Yes I agree with u on the unnecessary spending even when I bought my apartment with my husband we spent the littlest amt possible and paid all Reno cost in full. You definitely have class Amie xx
