Part of me wants to be critical of her spending, but then I remember that at 20 I was spending all of my money on weed and cheetos...
nvm, you good
Lol
Weed and cheetos 😂
Lol, same
💀💀🤣
God bless you for being honest... LOL
went to school with her and shes always kept to herself and her friends seemed to like her, the school loved her too,
ᄏ hahahha thanks girl !! i was pretty quite cuz i was new to the school and didn’t know anyone but i enjoyed it !! thanks for the comment !!
How did she get there? Did she go to college earlier than everyone?
Victoria Hatzson i went to college year round
@@itsmollyelizabeth my comment sounded rude, sorry !! im super happy for you and im glad you've found your place in the world, again sorry for how i worded my comment before, i think most of my friends thought you mysterious and cool more than anything, haha
I would hope her friends like her and how does a school like her?
Shes really used her space well! Thats a tiny studio but shes made every inch count without cluttering it, giving it her own personal touch, and keeping it looking surprisingly good! Shes got a good eye
This young woman has a great attitude, is obviously working hard, and is very organized. She will go far! Very impressive. Wishing her and all the young people out there just starting out, all the very best! 🙏🏼💗
thank you so much i appreciate it !!
I’m Molly and I’m 22 and I made $10k last year. This girl is living my dream
Molly Fahrlander hahahah thanks girl !
What do you do for a living? No trying to be nosy or rude but as a high school student I am making $23096 a year as a part time sales associate.
isa devil hi Isa! 👋🏻 Not trying to be rude at all. I used to do retail part time for awhile in the US. Is that income range you listed after taxes or before taxes? After taxes I was around 12k as part time sales girl. I’m really curious about others income ranges as well doing retail.
isa devil in Europe 20-30k (before taxes) is a average wage for someone that works full time, so if op works part time 10k would be a normal wage after taxes
@@itsmollyelizabeth i make 70-100k a year depending on how busy the roofing season is in seattle... havent bought a new pair of shoes in 14 months. 200k in savings... LA has really done something to these kids that make them think designer means something.
I wanna live a life where $60 sounds cheap
you and me both 😭😭
@@marsef9836 count me in ;-;
RUclips TV is $50/month?! Lordy... lol
its now $64 a month and still worth since you can cloud/dvr everything
Better I'd say then cable lmao it's way cheaper
Oml i thought you said youtube premium
clearly there are other sources helping fund her life. like mom and dad or the bf. 40k a year doesn't get you eating out 90% of the time, Balenciaga, and Off White lol
truuuuu
Well I think that as a stylist some of her clients pay for the clothes and then potentially give them to her as freebies.
Agreed. Like I don't car what she spends - I'm just confused because I make more than her and could not be spending like this hahaha
Tbh. I did the math and it’s not adding up. Anyway, no hate here.
they ALWAYS sugarcoat it for the camera. never trust a thing you hear on youtube nowadays, literally everyone exaggerates when it comes to the subject of money
she also LOOKS like a stylist. she’s so prettyyyy
hala dolan thanks gal! instagram: @mollyelizabethdesigns
Hi hala how are you?
@Nadia Bashir what do you mean?
@Nadia Bashir because she's very beautiful like you
Nadia Bashir that’s not flirting wtf 🤦🏽♀️
Nobody:
Her: TARGET
uihiohjopjniuhj
honestly, all of us tho...
That’s literally everyone actually
$40k in LA is a very scary thing
Star L. Why is it bad?
@@cloverfields4 Everything there is mega expensive and with that little wiggle room, if something bad happened to her it'd be rough
@@cloverfields4 It's very hard to live on that amount in LA. Things are expensive.
Hapito oh thank you
It really is not that much. Considering a minimum wage full time job is about 29k a year. That being said 40k a year for being 20 is a lot.
i‘d love to know what her 9-5 job is that she mentions several times. she seems very nice and down to earth!
Aurora Raquel she’s a stylist so I assume that’s her 9-5? Shopping for clients and client meetings?
NPFcC noo she mentioned that she balances her stylist job with her 9-5 job
Im pretty sure she has seen this comment and has preferred not to answer it😂
Sup Huh i answered !
@@itsmollyelizabeth Lol first I didn't mean to shade you(i live for your fashion sense) and second i still don't see your reply ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is no one talking about the note her boyfriend left her on the fridge? Honestly so cute wow 😍😍
What time?

@@fellynempeynado6826 thx
I'm so glad that they have started showing the faces of the people covered in the video!
Maani Agarwal i know!!
she spends so little on her credit card really. 300 average spend in a month is so good.
She’s out there living her dream!!!
2k a month that's like 800 a month here in TX
Im confused, $40,000 income and only $10k in student loans. Its math, even if you paid $500/mo or $1000 it can get paid of in less than 2 years. No, seriously. Just a small suggestion.
Ya but there are cases where it makes more sense to not pay it of aren't there?
I wish her all the best ❤️
It would be nice to get some new names in fashion. Some of the old brands are getting too comfy.
In LA, there’s so many things one can do for FREE. And there’s tons of thrift stores you can use to furnish your apartment with
I’m 37 and make more than 40K and scared to move in a townhouse that’s 1375 😩😩
Finally! A salary and age I can relate to 😁
Forgot to say "Sponsored by Target"
Aw, cute! She has “The Mysterious Benedict Society” series on her side table!
You can tell she 20 years old
Cielo Quirico // Agree, and it’s super refreshing. I love how many opportunities young people have to influence and participate in the creative industries. I feel like it’s made it all a lot more fun and accessible.
How you guys squeezed a 15 min video out of this girl, it's beyond me.
Danyel Henrique lol sorry you feel that way but i’m so happy with the video !!
I enjoyed every bit of the video and now I wanna follow this girl
Nana Noonie love u !!!! my instagram is @mollyelizabethdesigns and you youtube is linked in the caption !
@@itsmollyelizabeth already subbed to your channel now I'm heading to Instagram ❤❤
Okay but respect because I’m almost 20 not even close to moving out of my parents house.
Love her style! As a stylist in the making I would love to do what she’s doing! Loved the video tbh
Sheesh! That refrigerator is empty and she said it’s more full than usual. What do you two eat lol? That’s probably why she’s so fit.
$350 to eat out for a month... how? ? Thats 10 bucks a day and most meals I eat out are like a big over 12 per meal... am I just eating at the wrong places???
So, no one is talking about how beautiful she is?
Ewa Karolewska thank you that is so incredibly sweet !!
Omg she lives in my building!
Nohaila Halty lol that’s crazy but pls don’t share to anyone location for privacy hahah !!
Jessica & Alec Meets World pls don’t put this info on a comment that is private info
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS DUH. Sorry didn’t even think of that 😔 deleted comment lol
Now if you pay more rent you can tell the landlord a thing or two, lol.
Great for her! She's living the dream
What is the brand of that couch? I love it
Caraleigh Cranford ikea !!
I think she has a boyfriend.
But for real good for her for having a dope place and a nice personality
thanks babe! follow me on insta @mollyelizabethdesigns for more!
She has the prettiest eyebrows!
I can’t believe all the haters in the comments. She earned the money so she can do whatever she wants with it. And her apartment decor looks amazing!! You go girl!!!!
Damaris Sotelo thank you so much i really appreciate it !!
As an european I still dont understand what that whole credit card debt means, do you spend money you dont have ??? If so girl you need to eat out less if you dont like having debts as you said.
WHAT IS THIS COUCH WHERE DO I GET IT
Jazz Elise ikea!
Yep ikea! I have this couch in the same colour, we bought it maybe three years ago? Also has storage for guest bedding 👌
At least she has a good attitude, she pays off her cc every month and is getting her student loans payed down. Plus she has a partner to split living expenses with.

Seriously though she’s 20

Shray thank you 🙏🏾
her apartment is basically an urban outfitters store
Steph hahahah omg
Steph it is
Only smaller
Steph Yeah, if an Urban Outfitters store was like the size of the toilet area in my master bathroom.
I chh
I think her spending money on clothes is perfectly reasonable considering that's part of her career....I don't think I'd see anyone mocking someone who worked in tech and spent their money on that lol
True! Like if you were a writer or editor and had a huge collection of books it makes sense... And obviously she doesn't just impulsively buy things, based on how nice her apartment is and how she can afford other things as well...
You do not need $800 shoes to be fashionable, especially if you're making 40k a year.
Brett F. I can tell you aren’t in fashion. Neither am I, but I did graphic design for awhile. Yes, she needs those shoes. There is little logic to fashion.
You would be surprised how little people in tech actually spend on tech but you are right because what she wears can directly influence what jobs she gets.
@@Hikarahime Again, no she does not. Just because something is cute does not mean you need them.
She does spend a lot on unnecessary things but she is young so it's understandable. She's doing fantastic for her age though, good for her.
Zeina Ian thanks girl! i think la has the effect on you hahahah ! i’m trying to really save and focus on what’s important now!
@@itsmollyelizabeth That laser hair removal though... The best thing you can do for yourself! I did it way too old, I wish I would have done it at your age! Keep going!
Julie could you tell me more about why it is a great decision? I currently wax, but i feel like i get many ingrown hairs and it is becoming tedious
@@thirteenwolfies Well first off I was very hairy, like my bikini hair was going down my thigh! But like you I was waxing and I had a lot of ingrowns. When you do laser you shave the hair and then they do the laser on the shaved skin. Weirdly I never had ingrowns during the treatments while I was shaving and since my hair doesn't grow back I never had ingrowns ever again. It's a long process though, it took me 6 to 8 treatments (I don't remember) and you have to wait a certain time between the treatments (4-6 weeks, again I don't remember sorry!). The result is soft hairless skin without bumps and ingrowns. It's amazing!
I'm 20 and I have less then $2000 in 2 years. Now I have $800.
I'm 20, in my junior year at college, and just had to spend an hour contemplating how to move around money so i could buy a pizza for dinner
I think that's most people at 20
I think you should just stop comparing yourself to other people based on a 15 minute video
QUEEN FAMOUS I think it’s reasonable to compare, obviously I wasn’t on “project runway : junior” but also most people don’t have the opportunities she has. I never judged her in my original comment, she probably works hard, I mean, she works a 9-5. And I’m not embarrassed or ashamed to be 20 and not have a full time job or a lot of money, I’m in school, I’ll be in debt for a long time. Our lives are different and I think I’m allowed to compare them.
@@MsButtercats calm down buddy. I never said you werent allowed to compare yourself. I just recommended that you shouldn't but okay
QUEEN FAMOUS lol ?
Why do I feel like this is a parody
😂😂
probably because every other sentence ended with "with my boyyyfranddd"
It's like "here is the urban life we suffer through now as adults" but it would've been funnier if she was like 29 rather than 20. For 20 that is impressive.
The outfit reminds me of a little girl playing dress up 😂 she’s cute tho
Lmaoo same
My takeaway: her and boyfriend have the same size feet?
Elizabeth Bartley literally same
Elizabeth Bartley 😩😩🤣
I was shook
Is that an issue??
SAME
Does she have a boyfriend?

@@nakupenda999 r/wooosh if that's still a thing now
Dave Ramsey is fuming
um OKAY
I like her style. However, Dave Ramsey would be outraged.
Mye W. LOL I couldn’t stop thinking the same thing. Especially those $800 Balenciaga Dad sneakers. I’m still scratching my head over why those sneakers got popular.
carnival30 they are my favoritessss
carnival30 those are partly for her career though, and when you are a young stylist you feel like you need the hottest designer stuff. Which you do, but you really need to buy classic things that you can always have, like black shoes, classic bags. But as you get older, you realize, you can get cheaper versions of trendy things. Sadly, as a stylist people do care what you have.
🤣🤣🤣
Mye W. 🤣😂
She’s 6 years younger than me and I’m looking up to her...is that weird 😂😂
Lol she should not be looked up to. Buying balenciaga when your in debt is insane.
@@orangeboy97 I have a friend in college who buys,resells these kind of sneakers and makes a living off it
@@igod8054 I believe it when there are broke kids who will buy anything
Miri Ke hahaha nope
Yes. It is very weird.
she’s out here answering to rude comments 😂
i love it 😂
hope you have a great future girl, you’re doing great! ❤️
ahahaha love you gal !! thank you !!
Why do you consider critical comments as rude...? 🤔
@@suzawilo There's a difference between being "critical" and being "rude." Most are being rude.
She's like a responsible Emma Chamberlain with good hygine😅
Emma is a millionaire tho lol
@@lainey7595 yeah ofc Emma seems responsible with her money and when you make more money it is a lot easier to be responsible in my opinion
Stanford Jusuf and with actual talent
Kenya Grant but being responsible also includes reinvesting. I don’t watch Emma chamberlain but she probably doesn’t invest her money effectively since youtubers usually struggle with that
Kenya Grant no she aint LOL you think way too highly of youtubers
she seems so nice and is doing amazing for her age i mean most 20 year olds are still dependent on their parents which isnt a bad thing
i appreciate it!!!!
Jessica & Alec Meets World - bc most are in college wtf are you talking about?
Jessica & Alec Meets World - okay that’s you. like i said i go to college with mostly people who are 20 and we’re figuring it out, nothing wrong with that
@@kaylabey you need to calm down
Princess Tatyanna - if i were any calmer i’d be levitating
y’all complaining about her buying “dumb things” can’t talk because I’m pretty sure everyone has made dumb purchases in their life
Dumb purchases that are isolated cases are one thing. But several that are clustered together in timing and frequency. That's another thing. It indicates potentially... very bad habits that can prove difficult to fix down the road. So false equivalency fallacy.
Victor Donavon it’s just a RUclips comment, not that deep
Victor Donavon you said so many big words
@@shelby2436 that does not diminish the validity of the statements
Victor Donavon listen ik but i have no clue what u just said you said a lot of big words im only 15 man🥺😭
This was interesting seeing the spending habits and lifestyle of a younger person. I wasn’t out of college yet when I was 20 but I guarantee I wasn’t thinking about savings! Good for her.
Amy C. // We gotta really plan ahead with this social security situation 😅😅
Sis paid $176 for that knitting thing above the tv.....I can’t omg

at first i was why does she look and sound so familiar..... duhh she was on project runway junior and i was rooting for her. but aw im glad shes living her best life
She's so organized and has really good taste in decor! She makes the space look clean, and have personal touches without clutter.
BellaDiLo317 thanks!
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS omg you should do a video about your experience on project runway
This chick looks like she’s 13. She got some good genes, she’s going to look young asf when she’s in her 50s.
She's only 20. You're supposed to look like that 😂 I'm 22 and people say I look 16 when my face suits my age I think? Haha
Violett Reyes Thank you! I look so young (i'm 21) and some people are trying to make fun of this as if this is a bad thing or i don't understand why they do that.. i think it's good to look young
She looks her age to me?
@@aanne0669 absolutely, don't let anyone make you feel bad. I just turned 30 and people think I'm in my early 20s, still get carded (and I don't have my ID I don't get to drink, it happened several times and recently). I enjoy it tho! Everyone who is making fun of you for looking young will look raggedy when they're older and you'll be reveling in your youth lol
If she looks like 13 than I lool like a freaking 8 year old.. I'm 20 as well, but I thought she definitely looks her age.. at least girls look like her at 20 where I live.
It sounds like she got everything at a end of summer clearance sale at target
with her boyfriend obviously
hah exposed me
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS u cool girl
Younger than me but u have achieved more
Best wishes
40K-(fed tax + income tax) ~ $32850k. That's $2737/month - $1050 rent (split) - $500 eating out - $500 credit card - $52 candle (split) - $34 subscription (split) - (she said she rides uber) - (student loan) - (water bottle filter) - (clothes spending).....something aint adding up...her parents definitely supplying the money.
maybe her boyfriend pays for more stuff than she said in the video
She looks like such a nice person and wish her the absolute best
Her style reminds me of 13 going on 30 😂 it’s the hat, so 2000 😝
She seems very driven and ambitious and sweet! She has a cute sense of style and is doing great for someone so young!
Sorry she's making$40k and spending$900 on some white shoes!? 🤦
Hope Johnson she’s being young and stupid. We all have been there
@@salinasn3 exactly....but she didn't say if she saved anything
Why is laser so expensive in America? I’m in Australia and I got ten sessions of laser hair removal (bikini and underarm) for like $240!
Elena Téa because they can charge more and people will pay it. If I ever go to Australia will definitely look into laser ! Thanks for the tip!
You have to be licensed and its medical, thus costly.
it's because she probably got her whole body done. bikini and underarm are small areas
People do realize that your body hair actually protects you and keeps you warm.
I mean.. she’s in Los Ángeles I’m sure the price varies by state, city and place
A whole lot of miserable souls in this comment section.
hahaha
Deadass💀💀💀
No one:
Her: “SoOo mY boYfriENd...”
Sarah Albojbr HAHAH YOU GOT ME TBH
Nothing strange
How's She so chill and natural in front of the camera I'm so jealous and impressed
I don't understand how speaking about her boyfriend is an issue, she's not giving up her mortal rights plz abeg not everything is that deep.
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS what’s the kind of tattoo you were talking about
Lol so she eans 40k a month, subtract the california income taxes $32,835. that would amount to a monthly salary of 2.736$. Then she claims to spend 1100$ on rent, which would leave her with 1.636$. Then she has a total debt of 12.3K of which we don't know how much she has to pay for. Then she spends $500 a month on food. Leaves her with 1,136$. Then 70$ on monthly tv subscriptions ecuates to 1066 $. No so bad you say, but then you see her shoe and bag collection and a balenciaga sweater for a total 4,649$. Something doesn't make sense about this video. Somebody that has about 1066$ left to live cannot buy a balenciaga sweater or balenciaga triple s. You can't tell me she doesn't go to the doctors, she doesn't take ubers or has any other spendings not shown in this video. It's pretty clear that she maybe has another income source (parents) since shes so young....kind of a disapointing video if u ask me....
Does not add up at all and now a lot of young adults watching this are going to expect a lifestyle similar to this if they earn around what she makes and live in a place like LA, they are up for a rude awakening
I make 40k annually and these numbers don’t make sense. She would be in the negative every month after rent and food alone. Whats the secret? Tax evasion? Sugar daddy? Tell me!
thats just my 9-5 im also styling tonss
She clearly has rich parents supplementing her income lol
Exactly.
facts, 40k don't get you all that
It’s doable since she splits expenses with her boyfriend.
My son is 19, in college, earning zero, while 44 and only making $45k. This young lady is on fire! She has a wonderful career that she can grow into. And super mature. I’m sure her parents are proud of her. I love her interior decor. In time I’m sure she’ll be even more successful.
thanks !!
Honestly i was kinda annoyed at her but then realized she’s 20 and that’s actually pretty good
She is doing great for her age!
Awkward Char thanks girl !!!!! means so much to me !!
Might appear so on the outside, but beneath that.... there are things that were very telling. For example, her anxiety over whether or not she gets paid. Also in spite of paying off the balance of the credit card, only a negligible amount of savings. That means if an emergency happens, even one as small as a mere $1000, she has virtually no reserves. A house constructed with no solid foundation is doomed to fall at the slightest disruption.
I was excited to see how she did it alone but there is a “boyfriend.” 🤦🏽♀️
No one made it alone. There were parents, or friends, or SOs, a social worker, a teacher or the government. Someone, somewhere extended a helping hand at some point. None of us made it alone. That's a lie people tell themselves to feel prouder of their success...
Her boyfriend only help him with the rent being split....
It isn't even called help since u can get 1000 apartment with roommates
F.-J. J. I like your positive outlook. My statement wasn’t meant to criticize or be negative. I really wanted to know the trick for living alone & affording given her salary.
I'd be so scared to depend on a bf to make rent. But I've also had bad experiences with it so
Thats why shes able to afford those expensive items.
She seems like shes enjoying life and has a good head on her shoulders. You do you, girl.
I live on 8 frogs, 6 whales and 100 dollers!
It's kinda interesting actually. I mean her stuff are pretty but after minute 5 I was like IM DONE lol.
lets play a drinking game: take a shot everytime she says “my boyfriend”
Danz Mojica omfg. Right!🤣
Or Usually/Honestly 😂😂
Danz Mojica I don’t think you can make a joke about her when you spelt an extremely easy word wrong.

Megan Pearl Sarcasm lol
700 credit score! Good for her. Many can’t say that especially in L.A.
I’m still a financial wreck in my 30’s so you go girl!
her apartment is what i want to build in sims
$2000 for a 400 sq ft apt. Lord !
one question: HOW??? I mean wow congrats! But how did that happen so quickly? And she went to college as well? So did she graduate earlier or was she working full time and was making all that money while still being at college?
Victoria Hatzson i went to college year round and started my job the day of graduation !
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS ooohhh I see! Did you study fashion?
Victoria Hatzson yes !!
MOLLY ELIZABETH DESIGNS that’s great, didn’t know you can finish uni in a year!? That must have taken you a lot of effort but congratulations for doing it.
Victoria Hatzson appreciate it
Her room looks like all the popular pinterest posts in one room. Very chic, but lacks individuality. I thought she is a designer and would have a least some creative, self made stuff.
Being in your 20s, especially after graduating school can definitely be a tough transition. Sounds like she’s gotten better with her money and is hopefully growing!! ✨
Steph & Den thanks!
$175 for a chair? Yikes
Justin G what bout 895 for shoes?! That’s stupidity
How does a 2,000 a month apartment in LA only have 100 in utilities!? Maybe there are more included in the rent??? My mind is boggled as I live in Ohio and it’s considered to be a ‘cheap’ state and I pay wayyyy more than that for electric alone
You are spending way too much money and laser hair removal if you live in LA there a Groupon’s everywhere. I got my under arms done for $10 a session
