Forget my budget breakdown, how about making these videos accessible to people with low vision or who are blind? You're excluding people with visual disabilities by putting all those words on the screen without telling people what they are. So disappointing for a platform with such a wide reach.
I really want to see people making $40k or $50k a year living in a big city. Someone relatable, someone like me. I'm available by the way if you see this, CNBC :D
I want to see more of 30k to 50k episodes. I want to know about people like me. I also want more states like Utah, NC, SC, Virginia, Montana...etc. I love immigrants episodes and 2nd gen.
Sales is the best option if it's YOUR natural inclination to do that as a job. Never force yourself to do a job that you'd hate for years on end even if it paid well. There's other options for non stem jobs that still pay 6+ figures like digital marketing.
Very liberal mentality. Just wait for the government to solve all my problems. Liberals want us to be fully dependant on the government with 90% of our taxes going to them just so they can dole it back out with healthcare, food stamps, and college. Lol this has to paid for by someone, and I guarantee you you'll pay more than what you owe right now with student debt.
@@mav7804 she's making at least $14k a month in commissions. She doesn't need someone to come into office and forgive her $30k in student debt. She's putting almost $3k a month in savings. If she moved 10-20% of that savings towards her student loans she'd pay them off quickly. Its great to save but if you have debts you should pay them off.
If I made 145k a year I could pay off my house in 3 years. I also have a wife and 3 kids. That amount of money is stupid. She could pay off her loans in a matter of months with ease
Take it from a 40-something who is FINALLY paying off that student loan: free yourself early. Life will throw you curveballs and the most precious gift you can give yourself is FREEDOM. Pay off those loans and navigate life without that weight on your shoulders.
Yup, I am with you. I had no idea where life was going to take me. I had to rebuild after a divorce and humbled myself. Paid off my student loans. Saved up for a downpayment and now drink my coffee on my porch watching the sun come up
I have a ton of student loans that I will be paying well into my 40s and I agree with you at heart but I disagree with you on logic. While I want to feel that freedom and I have an urge and an instinct to pay them off and nothing in the world will feel as good as being rid of them it is much smarter if you have low APR loans (mine are all below 3.8%) to pay the minimum and invest your extra money. $1K invested will grow faster and net you more than the $38 you'll save that year on it by paying down earlier. This doesn't apply to everyone but it does to most borrowers. It's just a long-term math problem and the math comes out on the side of investing. Always.
@@martinzaharinov4016 There is an emotional component to debt and I would never tell someone to not pay it down over investing. Just like you said, it is financially better to invest if the interest rate is low. I would rather invest and once I have enough, the interest on the investment can pay the student loan bill. The other benefit of investing is that you still have the cash in case of emergencies.
@@colorfulcodes not even that. I take home 55k and paid my 34k worth of student loans in a little over a year. And I live in California where taxes are crazy. She can pay it off in less than half a year.
It depends on the interest rate. It’s probably better for her to let that ride through if it’s 1-3%. She can put that is her savings instead. Edit: Typo
Exactly! I have only $16k that I'm paying off in student debt, but I used the GI Bill to pay for about 60% of my tuition, and I worked f/t and paid another 10% as I went. I sucked it up and went to a public university, but avoided those crazy $100k+ student loan nightmares that others now want us taxpayers to take care of for them.
@@yaidasr5409 I was National Guard. We only get GI Bill credit for the amount of time we're deployed on federal missions. I got 60% for deploying to Iraq for 18 months.
M G i mean... she pays tons of taxes as well? lmao. this is a mutually beneficial thing. europe and asia does amazing with free university so it’s not like it’s some selfish crazy idea
Thats how the rich in the US make money, keep your debt and pay for an asset that will go up in value and give return. Then do it again with a high debt and return and repeat.
It's actually a smarter move in her case because that house will probably appreciate in value and make her way more profit than the loss she will take from the interest on that loan.
Paying unnecessary interest on a 30K loan which you could easily settle in a few months with that salary is so stupid. I'd understand if it was like 200K+ but 30K on a 145K paycheck and you cant pay off? wtf
She is probably waiting for the possibility that the federal government swings left and forgives the loans. Ive worked with a few higher-income individuals who are doing that exact same thing. It makes my blood boil, mainly because it seems somewhat likely to happen.
@@QualityContentRick Its 2020. Paying for yourself is soooo last century. Its easier to expect lower-income/non-college grads to pay on your behalf. What does PhantasticJess care, as long as she gets to eat out and afford the finer things in life she doesnt care who has to pay for it. Its textbook narcissism.
She makes 145k at age 31. Unlike many on the comments here Im sure her student loans are up to date. She just doesn’t want to rush and pay it she fine.
Student loans are extremely low interest rate. It's a bad idea to pay them off early. Besides if there's a real chance you win the lottery and get it paid off why not?
ANDREA: Just pay your student loans. After that, the $200 something you're paying per month with the interest will go into your investments and savings. Pay what you borrowed. I make 1/4 of what you earn a year and I was able to pay off my student loans in 2 years.
No kidding . . lets pay off those student loans so quickly so you can have more capital to put down on the mortgage for a cheaper interest rate . . I dunno.
@@Jan10181 If her students are federally awarded, then they should carry a low interest and the interest is simple interest. That means that paying off 30k earlier will cost her money versus investing it. Plus with the Federal reserve pumping money, her debt gets cheaper and cheaper every year as more and more money gets pumped into the system.
@@Jan10181 how much is the interest for student loan in usa? in my country the student loan dont have any interest, so i will take the longest time to pay back it.
Ahmad Firdaus Good question. I‘m from Germany and our universities are financed by taxes, so many students don‘t need money from the bank. Otherwise you can apply for interest free loans from the government
Why pay it off when some hard working lower class janitor will be forced to pay it so she can travel, party, buy her and her dog designer clothes and accessories and afford her $350,000 house?
“If I want to go on vacation, I can take a vacation. If I want to help someone out, I can help someone out,” but if you want to pay off your student loans, you can't?
@@MyBloomingLife mmm...no. for the price of a cheeseburger you could buy the ingredients at a grocery store to make at least 5 sandwiches. Not to mention the gas money you save by going to the grocery store once a week & not having to drive to a food joint for 3 meals a day. Complete false economy.
10 O'Swords eh I think it depends on a person’s eating habits... Some people would not want to eat multiple burgers in one week (or even deal with freezing it and thawing it), so it would be easier to go to Wendy’s or McDonald’s and buy a burger + fries + drink for around $5. I live 2 minutes from a mcdonalds & not too far from a Wendy’s, so it might be more convenient for some people to drive to a fast food restaurant. For some people buying bread + ground beef + cheese + a head of lettuce + pickles + condiments & then preparing it is a lot lol
10 O'Swords I would say for my lifestyle, I like a combo of both cooking and eating out. If I want food in bulk, I’ll make it. If I’m craving one specific item (like a burrito bowl), I’m not going to buy 7+ ingredients and spend the time to make it all of the time
I love how her story isn't cookie cutter. Sometimes life happens or we make mistakes but most of us can still pull through and accomplish our goals. Wish her the best but my only critique is that she shouldn't wait on the government to forgive her loans. It's never certain that they will or that her income would be as high in 10+ years. Glad she found her way. 🙏🏾❤
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
That’s why she’s on CNBC make it and you’re not. Leverage your debt and capital. I wouldn’t pay off student loans in her position either. A dem might come in and forgive it all together, ya never know.
Anybody who thinks they can build wealth with debt is delusional. Especially people like her who thinks tax payers will bail out her student loan. She makes way too much income to even qualify anyway. Such stupidity. Poor people seem to think that by paying the minimum amount per month, they think they'll end up with more money in their pocket but it's actually the other way around.
Might do intermittent fasting ‘one meal a day’ style. Although she’s slim there’s something about her that doesn’t look healthy. Wonder if it’s from poor nutrition from not having any veggies from restaurant food
She said she will be paying off her student loans until she is 45, so 14 years. For just $30K in debt, while making $145K a year, that's pathetic. It's better to take care of your debt now while you're making great money. Especially if you ended up getting laid off, getting in a accident and can't work and now you are no longer making great money and still have loads of debt.
@@1941id That is a gamble, especially at her income level. Student loan forgiveness goes to low income and non-profit workers 1st. She most likely won't get approved if it was available. Her safest bet is to pay it off herself and focus on investing.
The opportunity cost on using cash to pay them off early is larger than the savings. You need a 7, 8, 9 plus percent interest rate for that to not be true.
“Watches are my only splurge” Has more guitars than a band Buys her dog Gucci sweaters, Supreme shirts, and tuxedos Eats out all the time Spends money getting tatted up Girl like to spend. Nonetheless, she’s making good money and found meaning for her life! I’m still happy for her.
Her food expenses come to only 300 bucks (in the pie chart). That's crazy low for somebody who always eats out! I guess I gotta work towards halving my portions and eating leftovers.
curious! moving to austin soon! 145k you consider it gross not net correct? also, would me and my girlfriend live confortable in austin with that amount? until she gets a job! lost with expenses.
She is not a Social Media Advisor, she is a Sales Representative. Jobs that are more similar to a Social Media Advisor role at GoDaddy make a fraction of what she earns. The only reason she earns this is because of commissions off of the sales she generates.
Her: Accepts a loan to increase income. Then expecting taxpayers who don’t have a college degree to pay for her loan that she accepted. That is just plain stupid. Don’t accept the loans if you don’t expect to pay them lol.
@trippy cesar no she's not. Her loans aren't going to be forgiven especially making that kind of money. Shes paying more by stretching those loan payments out.
Inspiring how she’s come back financially in a big way. Some of her decisions are questionable, but always glad to see someone take initiative on their finances!
A little Googling goes a long way... "814 employees - about 10% of its workforce - will be impacted, but many of them will be offered new roles." domainnamewire.com/2020/06/24/godaddy-plans-layoffs-and-is-closing-austin-offices/
beautiful story but it's hard to fathom how she can't pay off $30k of student debt until the age of 45 when she's making 145k a year and only 31 years old.
I would have paid that off within the first year. I'm debt free and make 90k and able to save and invest so I don't get why she's paying minimum or even expect someone to pay for her loans 🤦♂️
If that was me, I'd be putting the $230 into savings and using the $2800, or even more than what she puts right now in savings for paying off the debt. I don't get people who have money and are in great financial situations, and yet have no financial literacy.
@@joevarga5982 She is smart. That is a good strategy to have because rather than pay it all off herself, just be patient, eventually she will get someone to pay it off based off of her already great sale skills and her likable and compassionate personality, I think it would be quite easy someone will pay her bill on her behalf.
*Great video. We all strive towards financial stability and a better life. It is easy to achieve this through the right investment, by living frugally and budgeting. I’m glad I learnt early in life to work hard for financial freedom*
@@gomezbollina1004 I’m truly inspired by your words. I’m very interested in investing and I’ve a good sum of money which I’m ready put in with the right information. My fear is losing my money in a wrong investment. For this reason, I’m willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.
@@sonlee8066 I firmly believe that the success of any investment depends on having the right information, regardless of what others say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer always says "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". This is certainly the trick to succeeding even when others fail.

Everyone should know that operating a business will pay off under certain conditions and that a job requires certain requirements to earn more than others. But with the right investment information, you can build, inherit, and store money for future spending. I always tell anyone who wants to listen to me that looking for investment ideas and having friends who help you spend less and build your finances are essential for a financially independent and healthy life.
At her job there is subsidized food options that keep lunch costs *very * low, after that she would really only be paying for dinners and weekends. Sometimes you can also bring plenty of food from lunch home from dinner. Buying lunch every day would cost about $120 a month.
Probably bringing home the free meals at work or from family if she exceeds $300 per month on dinning. Not a bad idea, but she should pay off that student debt.
Paying the minimum on student debt hoping someone is going to get elected and wipe it out is irresponsible. You took out those loans, you have the means to pay them back, and you should. That money did not fall out of the clear blue sky.
Agreed. I had student loans around 30-40k not sure on exact number but paid it off last year. I'm a nurse and they talk about loan forgiveness for that job, but I never relied on it and paid it back so I could be debt free.
Agreed! It is extremely irresponsible. I would be more sympathetic if she worked for a non-profit and was paid $60k per year. At $145k she doesn't deserve anything from the government.
Wow do people actually believe this garbage? Lmao. Travel around, you'll discover that in no other country do students graduate with such absurd amounts of student loan debt, debt that can't even be discharged in bankruptcy.
Good for her for making a change in her life and being the most successful rep in her office. Sales is HARD. And taking yourself out of a bad situation is harder. She deserves to manage her money however she’d like!! She should be praised for being a SELF MADE woman! You go girl!
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
When you get you give, when you learn, you teach. Beautiful words! Love this lady. She has really turned around her life and worked hard. Has the right values to help others. BRAVO girl!
I agree. I feel the person signed up for it they should pay it off. Also she is high salary earner. She is saving a lot per month she can put that towards he debt and just pay it off easily.
Sometimes it makes way more sense to invest your money into a high interest saving account or stock market rather than paying off your student loan debt. It fully depends how low your interest rate is
@@sophiakarina9085 A high interest savings account? I'd be amazed if the interest on her student loans is lower than the interest on a HYSA. Maybe right now since it's deferred
Sophia Karina she only owes $30,000 she can be done with it in less than a year. And have more money to invest in the Following year instead of paying interest on the loan.
She's still terrible with money. She just makes more 🤦♂️ Keeps saying she "changed her life" as she continues to hold onto student loans, rents an expensive looking place, and eats out for every meal.
I didn't even get started on the video I stopped at 22 seconds but I could tell there is privilege in there somewhere and I think you hit it right on the head nothing is changed she got was so lucky to get some stupid social media position enjoy the good money while it lasts cuz this girl may be laid off already whatever I hope this millennial money website gets their stupid clicks I guess that's all that matters on the internet now
spouts platitudes ("it's about sharing and giving") at the beginning of the video and emblazons herself with messages ("gratitude") tells me she's just a virtue signaller
If you're making $145k a year, there's no reason why not to pay the student loan off immediately. Any useless debt should not be kept, there is no excuse for that.
Also upto a certain level a loan offers a considerable tax break. Also long term if the interest earned on the money is more than interest rate of the loan, she is the real winner
@@grantanderson8277 you just explained why you should pay your useless debt off as quickly as possible. She's making far more than enough to do it and already living as if she doesn't make a ton at all based on being broke previously. Cash is king, and the way you get more cash flow for the long term is to get rid of things that do not serve you. Also I hate Ramsey's stance btw lol.
@@trts5934 She can can after getting rid of what's useless as her current net worth is being affected by the cash flow hindrance of having to pay for it. She was in debt and knew what it was like too..
Another great Millennial Money segment! I love that she was so transparent in sharing her account balances before she started earning, and saving more money.

There are many restaurants that have apps that you rank up points for exchange for free food or money off. My credit card off deals from restaurants such ad buy and get another one free of equal or less value. Two people can eat for 10.00 or less.

@@savannahtrevino6741 yes and no because theres no rule on not to go out when saving money like this young lady because it's always good pay yourself with going out and that fact she can take back food for another meal is in fact time saving and some money saving.

I see myself in this women I’m going thru a lot with being sober and now I’m building up my money and moving on to better things with my spiritual life and with God ❤️
I can totally relate with a similar story of being broke and having nothing, then i decided to change it, found God, and started making changes. Congrats Andrea! Great job!
@@tricasp5544 I'm sure if she was making that much due to commission she is one of the few they kept. It sounds to me like is is an asset yo the company and not a liability!
It took me a while to see this video but I love it. It’s in the top 5 Millennial Money episodes for me. The fact that she gave her life to Christ, totally transformed her finances, broke a record at her job for most commissions earned, is a dog mom, and loves music/playing the guitar… wow just wow! Congrats Andrea on all of your achievements. Great episode CNBC Make It! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That’s how Housing prices are in the south especially Texas . I live in Houston, Texas and my house is over 4000 sq ft 5 bedroom and 3.5 bath and I only got it fir 325K. There are homes like the one in the video that go for 180K-250K here in Houston or Texas in general.

we need an update of this video considering GoDaddy just shut down their Austin Office and fired everyone, probably her too. i am curious if she got a new job or if this puts a dent in her plans.
I fully agree that the cost of college is way out of control but I also really dislike how some people are just sitting there hoping someone or something will swoop in in save them. Accept that you made a bad financial decision and take ownership of it.
Kasandra Campbell College is not a bad financial decision if you pick the right major. 30k student debt but she was able to make 145k at so young, that’s actually not bad.
NYC_Guy I don’t think Kasandra was saying college is a bad financial decision necessarily. It’s going into debt to go to college is the bad decision versus saving up and paying cash. 🤷🏻♀️ that’s my interpretation.
I wonder what her credentials were to swing a job like that. Making 145k a year at 31... I'm 24 myself and would give anything to be raking it in like that.
@@saulbravo3485 no if you look closely, she's on the phone all day closing deals and she mentioned getting big commissions from it. Sales and marketing are similar but opposite. Marketing is the art of attracting. Sales is reinforcing the deal to be closed from what attracted someone to the product or service.
Daniel Wellington Watches are just re-branded watches from Alibaba. This lady also needs to save more of her income and pay her loans. Even if there is forgiveness, I doubt she will qualify with her salary.
Her mentality of splurging and not paying off her loans but hoping for a government forgiveness program is showing how spoiled and entitled she is. She'll wind up broke again. Typical sales rep. Spend all of hte money when its coming in and then wait for a handout when its gone. The school loan enabled her lifestyle. So we all have to pay for it?
@@therealedarby I doubt you are paying anything for it..... it is getting paid back with interest. You don't know what kind of loans she got...and she sure as heck is paying a lot in taxes now, so have a moment.
@@ApolloGenX her paying the minimum isn't a big deal it's her saying she does that hoping someone comes into office and takes other peoples money to pay for a loan she chose to take
@@NM-gr7cs Maybe, but it's no worse than someone planning taxes around potential tax changes that will save them money.... it's just another wealth planning strategy. Don't fault her for being savvy.

I can't even finish this BS. I am a Registered Nurse in Austin working for the state and I can barely afford my 1 bedroom apartment 3 miles from the northern city limits. My salary is under 60k a year and I haven't gotten to stay home during Covid.
With her expenses being that low, I would like to know where the rest of that money goes? Her monthly spending is literally less than half of her income.
I feel that she is underestimating how much she splurges. Otherwise she isnt putting much towards retirement or any other investments and is only paying the minimum on student loans
A good practice is to try and skip every other paycheck ... If you can't make it on half of what you earn, you need to find a new career... or reduce expenses. Cable TV ? who needs it ? cancelled. XM radio ? cancelled. Sweaters for dogs ? Get a goodwill sweater, cut and reshape it for your dog.
This lady needs to take a deep dive in her budget. Her debts and liabilities are holding her back. She needs to get out of her car and high insurance and put that towards her student loan. She makes a good enough income where she should be able to live debt free. … and I wrote that only by seeing the snapshot of her budget. She’s financially illiterate if she thinks she should pay her loans until she’s 45. Very bad.
I make 35 a year, live in Austin also, pay twice that for my student loans from a private University UMHB. I have been at my insurance insurance sales job for 16 years, served in the military for 5 years and never been drunk. I am boring. So you are lucky to earn so much. I have always volunteered places. Your family looks fun. I am typing this between mouthfuls of lunch. God is good.
She dope. You can tell money doesn't run her life she is content with herself and lifestyle. Once she got sober, found spiritual healing and a little bit of money she got that peace of mind. That is priceless, happiness is priceless. Blessings to her! And Austin is a dope city I visited there back in early February 2020. #KeepAustinWierd lol -love from NYC 🗽
Soooo...I make 60K annually and my minimum payment is $350 per month as a single individual. Her salary is 145K and she's only paying $200. What in the actual heck man?!
“I’m hoping someone can come into office and just diminish the student debt loan” This is everything wrong with the current economic and political atmosphere 🤦♂️
The cost of attending a public university has increased by over 260% since 1980 (private schools are even worse). While wages have technically increased in the last 4 decades, real purchasing power has not budged. So, while your paycheck "looks" bigger, due to inflation you are not actually making more (Pew Research). Meaning, everything costs more, college included. Which is why people are looking for student debt forgiveness. Not to mention all other developed countries have heavily subsidized college education. The US is the only one that doesn't consider education a right.
Andre, you are absolutely correct. At the same time, she can ABSOLUTELY afford to pay off her loan in full. It’s others like teachers, doctors, social workers that should benefit from student loan forgiveness not #spoiledtechworkers.
She could pay off her loan in less than 4 years. Maybe even 1 year if she is super smart about it. Waiting for someone to take away your debt isn’t a smart insurance policy. She literally could easily pay it off and never have to worry about it. But now she’s gonna be paying on it into her 60’s. And then she will complain that she’s been paying for her loan for 40 years and things shouldn’t be like that but it’s her own fault because she could just pay it off in full today probably or maybe by the end of the year if she spends less on non-essentials

If I made 145k a year I could pay off my house in 3 years. I also have a wife and 3 kids. That amount of money is stupid. She could pay off her loans in a matter of months with ease
Take it from a 40-something who is FINALLY paying off that student loan: free yourself early. Life will throw you curveballs and the most precious gift you can give yourself is FREEDOM. Pay off those loans and navigate life without that weight on your shoulders.
Yup, I am with you. I had no idea where life was going to take me. I had to rebuild after a divorce and humbled myself. Paid off my student loans. Saved up for a downpayment and now drink my coffee on my porch watching the sun come up
@@user-tm4my4jb6d wow
Ain't that the truth....
I have a ton of student loans that I will be paying well into my 40s and I agree with you at heart but I disagree with you on logic. While I want to feel that freedom and I have an urge and an instinct to pay them off and nothing in the world will feel as good as being rid of them it is much smarter if you have low APR loans (mine are all below 3.8%) to pay the minimum and invest your extra money. $1K invested will grow faster and net you more than the $38 you'll save that year on it by paying down earlier. This doesn't apply to everyone but it does to most borrowers. It's just a long-term math problem and the math comes out on the side of investing. Always.
@@martinzaharinov4016 There is an emotional component to debt and I would never tell someone to not pay it down over investing. Just like you said, it is financially better to invest if the interest rate is low. I would rather invest and once I have enough, the interest on the investment can pay the student loan bill. The other benefit of investing is that you still have the cash in case of emergencies.
30K in student loans? You make 145K/year. PAY IT OFF!!!
The amount of interest she will end up paying will be crazy.
I agree. It's only a year of work for her.
The interest rate is probably lower than inflation.

Thats how the rich in the US make money, keep your debt and pay for an asset that will go up in value and give return. Then do it again with a high debt and return and repeat.
It's actually a smarter move in her case because that house will probably appreciate in value and make her way more profit than the loss she will take from the interest on that loan.

@@MyBloomingLife mmm...no. for the price of a cheeseburger you could buy the ingredients at a grocery store to make at least 5 sandwiches. Not to mention the gas money you save by going to the grocery store once a week & not having to drive to a food joint for 3 meals a day. Complete false economy.
10 O'Swords eh I think it depends on a person’s eating habits... Some people would not want to eat multiple burgers in one week (or even deal with freezing it and thawing it), so it would be easier to go to Wendy’s or McDonald’s and buy a burger + fries + drink for around $5. I live 2 minutes from a mcdonalds & not too far from a Wendy’s, so it might be more convenient for some people to drive to a fast food restaurant. For some people buying bread + ground beef + cheese + a head of lettuce + pickles + condiments & then preparing it is a lot lol
10 O'Swords I would say for my lifestyle, I like a combo of both cooking and eating out. If I want food in bulk, I’ll make it. If I’m craving one specific item (like a burrito bowl), I’m not going to buy 7+ ingredients and spend the time to make it all of the time
I love how her story isn't cookie cutter. Sometimes life happens or we make mistakes but most of us can still pull through and accomplish our goals.

Lol she said that when she eats out she gets left overs that last her usually 1-2 meals
May be she has free food ( lunch, snacks, coffee) at her office
i live in Austin and that much amount is actually doable in Austin. I've lived on muc less than that. so shes pretty accurate about it.
How can you not cook and only spend $300 per month on food?!?!?

she probably eats with her family a couple times a week too! they seem really close which is so nice
@Ruru Home $25 a week on food? Wtf are you talking about.
She works in tech and usually they get lots of free food in their offices!
At her job there is subsidized food options that keep lunch costs *very * low, after that she would really only be paying for dinners and weekends. Sometimes you can also bring plenty of food from lunch home from dinner. Buying lunch every day would cost about $120 a month.
For somebody who doesn’t cook, her food budget at $300 isn’t too bad - could probs be cut much lower by cooking but not too bad! Great savings %
$10 a day in food. I dont think it ads up. Hmmm
She doesn't eat either though
Probably bringing home the free meals at work or from family if she exceeds $300 per month on dinning. Not a bad idea, but she should pay off that student debt.

Same thing I said $300 is rather impressive considering she doesn't cook no groceries and lives in Austin tx where the food scene is expensive. 👏🏾👏🏾
Paying the minimum on student debt hoping someone is going to get elected and wipe it out is irresponsible. You took out those loans, you have the means to pay them back, and you should. That money did not fall out of the clear blue sky.

If you're making $145k a year, there's no reason why not to pay the student loan off immediately. Any useless debt should not be kept, there is no excuse for that.
If it's a low interest loan it's much better to invest the money she'd otherwise use to pay it off.

If she uses these type of deals she has a meal for the next day.
There is absolutely no way you save money by going out 😂🤣😂but whatever helps you sleep at night 😆
@@savannahtrevino6741 yes and no because theres no rule on not to go out when saving money like this young lady because it's always good pay yourself with going out and that fact she can take back food for another meal is in fact time saving and some money saving. Plus shes "sober" now so no marked up drinks
In south africa we would ask "njani babes" which is similar to "how sway" 😂😂😂
Eat out vs the opporunity cost of having to cook 1 hr vs work that extra hr. So save $10 by eating in or earn $150 by working an extra hr.
I see myself in this women I’m going thru a lot with being sober and now I’m building up my money and moving on to better things with my spiritual life and with God ❤️
Good for you! God bless you
Thats hilarious
Keep crushing it! 💪
Raevin Ruiz keep going, keep praying. Bless you! 🌸🙏❤️
I can totally relate with a similar story of being broke and having nothing, then i decided to change it, found God, and started making changes. Congrats Andrea! Great job!
you can't find something non existent.you were vulnerable and you joined a cult to help you calm it's okay
just a funny update. My friend was working at this office, they closed it down a month or so ago. Hope she paid that student loan debt lol.
lmao I’m sure they went virtual
it's an internet based company! lol they are working from home
Many are not. They let many many many go! Pretty big.
@@tricasp5544 I'm sure if she was making that much due to commission she is one of the few they kept. It sounds to me like is is an asset yo the company and not a liability!
Sound like you happy it’s close
It took me a while to see this video but I love it. It’s in the top 5 Millennial Money episodes for me. The fact that she gave her life to Christ, totally transformed her finances, broke a record at her job for most commissions earned, is a dog mom, and loves music/playing the guitar… wow just wow! Congrats Andrea on all of your achievements. Great episode CNBC Make It! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
PAY OFF UR LOANS GIRRRRL
She wants it for free girl
100%
Not at the expense of cashflow. She's only saving $3000 a month. I'd want at least 2 years worth of expenses in the bank in case I got made redundant.
350k for a custom built house? I live in NYC and that just boggles my mind.
Right! I live in Seattle and you can’t even buy a house in this area that’s live able for that much
That’s how Housing prices are in the south especially Texas . I live in Houston, Texas and my house is over 4000 sq ft 5 bedroom and 3.5 bath and I only got it fir 325K. There are homes like the one in the video that go for 180K-250K here in Houston or Texas in general.
She's not building anywhere close to DT Austin for $350k. The median home price in Austin is $421k. Enjoy your "custom" home in Kyle, San Marcos or Bastrop
You could buy a house for that in Newark and be in lower Manhattan in only 30 minutes on the Path train.
@@MattSezer i agree - i live in orange and take NJ transit and be in the city in 25 mins. (used to live in NYC) bought a townhome in Orange for $260K last year.
l love that at 31, she's single, living her life, and taking care of herself and is HAPPY.
Is she really?
Paying off that student debt and she will be a lot happier.
Congrats to her on turning her life around. At 31 with $145k income, drug/alcohol free, and loving family/friends for support.
we need an update of this video considering GoDaddy just shut down their Austin Office and fired everyone, probably her too. i am curious if she got a new job or if this puts a dent in her plans.
What :o I also want a update now.
She's still working for GoDaddy in case anyone's interested
So impressive - I love how she set her mind to do things, worked hard and is achieving her goals! Awesome job!
You are very beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
Graham is gonna have a field day with this one...
It’s normal to your average Austin Texan. They keep it “weird” thats the citys moto. They party, they drink, they go to ACL. It’s a college Hollywood.
Facts😹🔥
Hahaha this made me laugh so hard
Dave Ramsey would have a field day too.
Hahaha
Yoo u know Dave Ramsey would pull all his hair out if he knew what she said about the student loans lmao
He would act a fool lol
I fully agree that the cost of college is way out of control but I also really dislike how some people are just sitting there hoping someone or something will swoop in in save them. Accept that you made a bad financial decision and take ownership of it.
Kasandra Campbell College is not a bad financial decision if you pick the right major. 30k student debt but she was able to make 145k at so young, that’s actually not bad.
🤣🤣🤣
NYC_Guy I don’t think Kasandra was saying college is a bad financial decision necessarily. It’s going into debt to go to college is the bad decision versus saving up and paying cash. 🤷🏻♀️ that’s my interpretation.
Wait for it Millennial Money......If you know you know
graham stephan
Hopefully he goes crazy over how she’s waiting for someone to come into office and diminish her loans. I can already tell she is a Bernie fan.
Pretty much Everyone here knows lol
He’s going to flip out
Lol I literally commented something similar
we know this is the US when you're calling giving your family some money as "Donation". lol
I wonder what her credentials were to swing a job like that. Making 145k a year at 31... I'm 24 myself and would give anything to be raking it in like that.
Seven years in career years is a massive difference
If you have the right personality for it sales can be a very lucrative career. Its all commission though, you can make a lot or make a little...
Become an Aerial Lineman. lol you can make double that.
It's not that difficult to nail a sales job -- the tricky part is doing well on a base salary of $20,000 and extreme performance metrics.
@Octavian Contract COVID nurses are making $110 an hour
Congratulations to her on finding a job she likes. I absolutely hate sales lol but I love digital marketing!
Lol. Isn’t that what she does?
@@saulbravo3485 no if you look closely, she's on the phone all day closing deals and she mentioned getting big commissions from it.
Sales and marketing are similar but opposite.
Marketing is the art of attracting.
Sales is reinforcing the deal to be closed from what attracted someone to the product or service.

Wait for it...Millenial Money! 😎
You know he's gearing up right now 🤣🤣
"IS THAT A GUCCI DOG SWEATER"
"Millionaire reacts... wait for it, millenial money "
@@tinawelch2545 man I was so ready to comment that arg😂😂😂😂😂
Daniel Wellington Watches are just re-branded watches from Alibaba. This lady also needs to save more of her income and pay her loans. Even if there is forgiveness, I doubt she will qualify with her salary.
Her mentality of splurging and not paying off her loans but hoping for a government forgiveness program is showing how spoiled and entitled she is. She'll wind up broke again. Typical sales rep. Spend all of hte money when its coming in and then wait for a handout when its gone.
The school loan enabled her lifestyle. So we all have to pay for it?
@@therealedarby I doubt you are paying anything for it..... it is getting paid back with interest. You don't know what kind of loans she got...and she sure as heck is paying a lot in taxes now, so have a moment.
@@ApolloGenX her paying the minimum isn't a big deal it's her saying she does that hoping someone comes into office and takes other peoples money to pay for a loan she chose to take
Mister E-Man agreed, very entitled behavior! It makes me so mad...
@@NM-gr7cs Maybe, but it's no worse than someone planning taxes around potential tax changes that will save them money.... it's just another wealth planning strategy. Don't fault her for being savvy. People take advantage of strategies all the time... like filing bankruptcy for protection. Whatever side of the political aisle you are on, these exist.
I can't even finish this BS. I am a Registered Nurse in Austin working for the state and I can barely afford my 1 bedroom apartment 3 miles from the northern city limits. My salary is under 60k a year and I haven't gotten to stay home during Covid.
yep its hard now with the Covid stuff going on, alot of nurses are laid off and or hours are shortened, no overtime as of the moment
Motivating as heck! Congratulations to her for working towards her goals and picking herself up.
Helping the poor is a great way to be happy
Agree
With her expenses being that low, I would like to know where the rest of that money goes? Her monthly spending is literally less than half of her income.
I feel that she is underestimating how much she splurges. Otherwise she isnt putting much towards retirement or any other investments and is only paying the minimum on student loans
Don't forget savings (for house etc.), taxes, healthcare
bases on the video her expenses does not make sense. More than likely she spend way way more than what is listed on lifestyle.
She just put $20k down on a house and almost $2500 in savings every month! I would think the money is going into her savings
A good practice is to try and skip every other paycheck ... If you can't make it on half of what you earn, you need to find a new career... or reduce expenses. Cable TV ? who needs it ? cancelled. XM radio ? cancelled. Sweaters for dogs ? Get a goodwill sweater, cut and reshape it for your dog.
Lives on $145k
Averages $20k/mo. 20x12 = $240k
Spends $6777/mo. 6777*12 = $81k
Something doesn't add up
This lady needs to take a deep dive in her budget. Her debts and liabilities are holding her back. She needs to get out of her car and high insurance and put that towards her student loan. She makes a good enough income where she should be able to live debt free.
… and I wrote that only by seeing the snapshot of her budget. She’s financially illiterate if she thinks she should pay her loans until she’s 45. Very bad.
I make 35 a year, live in Austin also, pay twice that for my student loans from a private University UMHB. I have been at my insurance insurance sales job for 16 years, served in the military for 5 years and never been drunk. I am boring. So you are lucky to earn so much. I have always volunteered places. Your family looks fun. I am typing this between mouthfuls of lunch. God is good.
She's a good sales person 💪
She's attractive . .a must for sales
@@locotx215 right because people can see how she looks over the phone
@@KingDannyT lol
@@locotx215 Usually that's correct to some degree, but not in her case as it's mostly online sales
She definitely needs to put the max 19.5k into her 401K. Saving 24% on every dollar she puts in there since she makes so much money.
"Instead of paying back $30,000 on my $145,000 salary, I'm hoping you taxpayers can pay it down for me :)"
I mean, she's a taxpayer? lol
Roger Almeida
Right?
Disgusting!
What ?
She's hoping that it's forgiven.
This. I didn't even watch the whole video. i had to stop after that remark.
she hit jackpot - 350k 2 years ago home is now closer to 700-1 million easy in austin. lucky lady.
I wish she would have talked about how she landed that job or what her professional background is.
yes i agree, its good to hear things like this.
Exactly that! These people hate to share how they got there... Idk why, but they just do.
LOL Why? So she can flood the market with competition?
2020 Both offices closed, 814 employees eliminated. If you are not IT production staff, it's over.
You are very beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now
She dope. You can tell money doesn't run her life she is content with herself and lifestyle. Once she got sober, found spiritual healing and a little bit of money she got that peace of mind. That is priceless, happiness is priceless. Blessings to her! And Austin is a dope city I visited there back in early February 2020. #KeepAustinWierd lol
-love from NYC 🗽
I love that quote " when you get, give. When you learn, teach." WOW
We have the same name👍
This is a great episode!
The way Kusko looks at her melts my heart ❤️🥺
What breed is that dogo?
@@vishalpmehta some kind of a teacup yorkie
Soooo...I make 60K annually and my minimum payment is $350 per month as a single individual. Her salary is 145K and she's only paying $200. What in the actual heck man?!
Oh baby, a new Millennial Money! Need to grab my 20 cent iced coffee!
Cheap copycat....
Youre not graham man
Lol 👍
Amazing lack of originality
The woman in this video just said " I think overall [eating out] saves me money" Uhm... thats not good advice and you are most likely wrong.
Since it is just her this could be a true statement. She could probably split her meal and make it two meals for the next day.
Patriot Jefferson i can make a pbj with a side of lays chips and a banana for a dollar
Wow base 20,000k , she must be amazing at sales!
Thats how much i make in a year
Ngozi E right......she lit
think its $20K commission, not base
That's commissions, not base salary.
Sometimes the product sales itself
“I’m hoping someone can come into office and just diminish the student debt loan”
This is everything wrong with the current economic and political atmosphere 🤦♂️
The cost of attending a public university has increased by over 260% since 1980 (private schools are even worse). While wages have technically increased in the last 4 decades, real purchasing power has not budged. So, while your paycheck "looks" bigger, due to inflation you are not actually making more (Pew Research). Meaning, everything costs more, college included. Which is why people are looking for student debt forgiveness. Not to mention all other developed countries have heavily subsidized college education. The US is the only one that doesn't consider education a right.
Andre, you are absolutely correct. At the same time, she can ABSOLUTELY afford to pay off her loan in full. It’s others like teachers, doctors, social workers that should benefit from student loan forgiveness not #spoiledtechworkers.
She could pay off her loan in less than 4 years. Maybe even 1 year if she is super smart about it. Waiting for someone to take away your debt isn’t a smart insurance policy. She literally could easily pay it off and never have to worry about it. But now she’s gonna be paying on it into her 60’s. And then she will complain that she’s been paying for her loan for 40 years and things shouldn’t be like that but it’s her own fault because she could just pay it off in full today probably or maybe by the end of the year if she spends less on non-essentials
