  • “He’s a Libra, they don’t listen.” Is she really making excuses for this grown man based on his sign?
  • @malikg5285
    #1 rule of money don’t spend money you don’t have.
  • @ckherrington3
    These videos would be really interesting if a professional finance person gave them some tips at the end.
  • @midori4036
    seems like she’s spending a lot of money on friends and other people instead of worrying about her own debts and living beyond her own means
  • @abirabbas89
    Earns 1000$ a month, spends 1500$ in a month. Absolute genius
  • $71 for cupcakes?? I would’ve went to Dollar Tree and got a dollar cake mix, dollar frosting, and a bag of sprinkles.
  • @OrigamiTree
    Just a suggestion: You can walk, bike, scooter, etc. to the nearest subway station and get an unlimited Metrocard for $127. No car headache!
  • @misssu5311
    She works part time but doesn't have time to cook ? I live in the Bronx, and you don't need a car to drive around Ny!! take the subway !!you can also buy good quality whole cakes for around $35 dollars for her friend anywhere in New York~and ...oh you need to dump your bf who you have to babysit.
  • she needs to dump her boyfriend immediately. like yesterday. like last week.
  • @BanditoTaylee
    The boyfriend needs some perspective. She's not his bank
  • @halfstrike721
    Sounds like she has a son not a boyfriend, he gotta go.
  • @NomNomGirl1
    Not to be rude and I was trying not to judge with her spending on extras but instead of Cancun she could have paid off 1/3 of her personal debt which would have saved her a lot of money in the long run with interest.
  • @whatever3041
    Her debit card expenses do not look like someone living on $15,000/year.
  • Shed be much better moving back to her parents and trying to pay her debts off
  • Like her $325 leftovers per mo was spent like 5 times over. She's NOT living on $15,000- she's living on Mom's credit card. Has to be. If you have $325 a month to oay for groceries and everything BUT bills, how you going to Cancun, buying $70 cupcakes and expensive gifts for your friend? This should be titled $15,000 a year and access to Mom's credit card... :/
  • I realize a lot of people don’t know a thing about managing money when they say she manages her money well
  • $71 for your friends cupcakes when you have $325! I find that a lot of people with lower incomes are usually way more giving & willing to be generous.. wow
  • @ominous450
    She does not need a car. Especially a new one. She’s spending $200 on car maintenance gas insurance. $130 for an EZPass. $130 for a Metra Card. She wants to add a car payment. Makes no sense
