The idea of Cristine relaxing is almost abstract at this point
I love how realistic they are about the longterm stability of youtube as a job
Lol lol girl these people are millionaires... they make millions of dollars a year from social media ... stop letting them trick you into thinking they’re poor like us... this is why I get so annoyed at them for acting like they’re simple beings
@@puppups16 LMAO please fact check the average monetisation statistics for a 10-20 minute RUclips video which accumulates an average of a million views (these figures based on Cristine's latest RUclips videos on her main channel).
(this is all speculation. I haven’t seen their bank statements and I am making these estimates based off of information available to the public. I don’t know the intricacies of Cristine and Ben's financial situation.)
I’ll save you the effort - the average is around $1000-$1500 USD per video. Cristine is making about three videos a month lately therefore we can estimate she makes $3000-$4500 USD. The median wage in the USA is ~$2998 per month, according to worlddata.info, so according to our estimate Cristine is making equal to or slightly more than the average worker from her main channel.
When you consider her second channel, both podcast channels, Holo Taco and her crime statistics part time hours, I'd guess that she’s receiving above the US median wage per month. My point is that Cristine and Ben are not millionaires. I’d imagine they have enough money to live comfortably in a nice house however they are still working citizens who have to manage their finances and find avenues to diversify their income like any other person in any other occupation.
Cristine and Ben have been very smart with their finances over the course of years and they have risked a lot of time and money in RUclips and Holo Taco. They are in their financial position now because they did the maths and they took the risks and the risks paid off.
All that said, this is just speculation. I don’t know anything about Cristine and Ben's finances and neither do you.
Sincerely, a nerd with too much time on her hands.
@@teejee376 lol lol you must be crazy if you think I’m reading that
@@puppups16 that's why you will stay poor
@@teejee376 ya I agree Simply is such a realistic role model
bruh theyre working four jobs and I cant even do my math homework
I'm literally ignoring my homework rn, I hope Cristine doesn't see this, she'll be mad lol 💕
Making me feel bad for not even having 1 job 😂😂
So at home Cristine has gov work, simplynail work, simplypod work, and holo taco work? F* that.
And workout work 💪
Running your own business "on the side" is often an 80- 90 hour a week thing with 12-14 hour days. It is not a "side hustle". Heck, I only run my own business and I"m in the 70 hours+ range on average.
Lol is she a Capricorn?
She’s super human. Idk how she does it.
@@principessa101 she is a libra
I'm glad you two mentioned that you don't want to be a role-model in the meaning of promoting the whole "hustle" culture. Burnout should really be taken seriously, what works for Christine currently might not work for her in a couple of years, it might not work out for someone else at all.
this isn't their channel they won't see this comment
@@RimFaxxe According to RUclips, this is their channel. Also, it wouldn't necessarily mean that they would never see these comments.
@@RimFaxxe This is their channel. They edit the videos. This channel is part of the simply channels fams if you look at the channel section on any of the their other channels. They also mention this channel on some of their main channel vids.
@@kashvikumar5338 who cares? She lied about being pushed and yall are here worried
@@RimFaxxe lied??
You two are the most realistic minded successful YT stars. The fact that somehow yall have managed to balance everything and still enjoy what you do is something more should aspire towards! Nothing shameful about reducing your career jobs to pursue and ensure the success of your passion projects!
I can totally see Cristine becoming an actual mentor for up and comers.. beyond being an amazing role model. I think Cristine has a place in YT internet royalty for life.
Cristine pls give a Time Management Masterclass. I rlly need to learn how to manage stuff like u do!
I was working from home for over 4 months. The first 2 months were alright. But because the space for rest became the space for both work and rest, it took a toll on my mental health. I found myself overworking (started work immediately after waking up and ended work at 3am) and I was also working on my Master's during weekends. I got extremely depressed, anxious, and burnt out. I cried almost every day. When my company emailed all employees that we can go back physically, I went back immediately. It feels great to have separate spaces for work and for rest.
I just started working “part time” (aka 4 days a week while being available for important meetings on the 5th day) while finishing my Master’s thesis and I was wondering why it felt so hard. Your comment is so validating. I’m still trying to figure out how to work from home, even if it’s little things like shutting down the computer at 6pm or designating the kitchen as the work area and the bedroom as chill area.
Its definetly a case of it works for some but can be detrimental for others.
My husband has been working from home for over a year now, and he will be working from til September. We are going crazy, as soon as we get vaccinated we are going out.
Same here. I am in my third year for undergrad while working full time and the hardest thing is that my room that used to be my safe place, became my office, which was fine for a while but now it has resulted in me also being burned out, anxious and just sad in general. So it’s definitely a struggle I relate too. Sending you all strength until we can go back to the office😩.
I see Cristine sort of reverting back to being a nail art channel in he 40’s. Kind of like how Suzi does her’s
No I think she likes making products. I don’t foresee her doing just nail art in the future.
I don't find Cristine "goofy" . I find her a lovely lady who has fun at what she's doing and not embarrassed to be herself.
being goofy is nothing to be ashamed of though! i
Aka goofy
For the record I would absolutely watch 48-year-old Cristine react to children’s nail polish toys.
Yes! Grad school from home is so much harder than I thought it would be!!!
If you need to leave your gov job, don't keep it just because of the role model reputation you've given yourself and the idea of disappointing people or something. Even in this comment section there's lots of "I love the fact you still work a day job, it is why I watch you" which must be SO hard because the more that piles up the more pressure you have but whilst the sentiment is definitely still there, it has to be said that it wouldn't be stupid for you to leave. Not like some youtubers who have a few viral vids and then leave but it is a blip. You said it yourself - six years. A nail polish business. You've created your own stability. I've always associated with you because I work for the UK gov and share your views on the importance of education etc but yeah I totally wouldn't be able to juggle the commitments you have, I guess it is a matter of reflecting on the one that gives you the least fulfilment and cutting down on that one, whether that is your day job I don't know. Go easy on yourself. Much love!
Thank you for saying it! Christine created her own income and is a business owner. A lot of people aspire to be an entrepreneur and not have a regular job forever, and there’s nothing wrong with that either. Some of us don’t like the idea of working for the corporate world forever and creating our own business and income is a goal to achieve!
I love that you still work "day jobs". Actually one of the main reasons I like you guys so much.
48 years old doesn't seem that old to me since it is still 17 years from retirement age. and for me 48 is 18 years away. I needed that perspective today for my sanity.i still have a lot of life left (I turn 30 in four days)
I mean, they shouldn't quit their day jobs, youtube is fickle.
True! Just a few days ago I saw someone insisting (and calling people who disagree stupid) that a RUclipsr who barely has two million subscribers and is barely eighteen must’ve moved out of her parents house and has her own mansion now bc she is a youtuber. Later they said that if she lived with her parents, she was the one paying for the whole thing because she’s a youtuber.(And this youtuber has said that she wants to wait before moving out many times so I don’t get where that person got their info from) but they yelled and me and others for disagreeing with them which was crazy, especially since there have been many people who come out and say roughly how much RUclips pays them and it’s really not a lot.
they said they have already made more money than they ever could working at their government jobs. they don’t spend enough to make it all go away either
that applies to other small RUclipsrs but not Cristine... she has a company and a very big youtube channel, even if she and Ben quit she would still have millions amd could retire very early.
True but she also had her own bussiness so technically she could IF she wanted to... but we know she loves her job
Lol true, and it’s not even that Cristine has to worry about money, they’ve made it clear they’re pretty much set on that front. But Cristine just isn’t someone who could handle not having something meaningful to work on.
I’m doing college from home and it’s a night mare. In college the latest I’ll stay doing work is 9PM but now it’s not uncommon for me to be working until 2AM just because like. there’s no gap between work and play and if I’m like, at the same desk but instead of working on watching a movie I feel bad about it.
Go sit in bed to watch a movie
I have been having the same problem. I also work in the dorms so like the line between work, school, and leisure has never been so blurred and uncomfy.
I was writing my magister work during the pandemic and i wish i newer been a part of my life. Weak connection with the professor and days of procrastination. I've never been in depression but that time was dark. I could have done better but not from home.
I've heard you twice mention that you don't do things out of greed, and I love that about you both. Your perspective on living well is refreshing.
i really don't know how you do it. youtube, holo taco, your government job, your merch store, the podcast I'm barely juggling school and work😅
It’s been almost 6 years, dang I feel old
I love working at home. 0 transportation!
But there are pros n cons. Family members annoy me at times... And I miss those staff lunch/meal gatherings.
It's so silly but I was the exact same way. I missed the food we used to be fed during meetings too 😂
Ben has glowed up. I'm so proud and happy to see where it went.
The ongoing situation and having to work at home seems to affect a lot of people negatively; I know many who have suffered a decrease in mental health, myself included. I don't even work - I'm a university student, and at first I, like most others, took the changes in stride and laughed at the awkward zoom classes and such. Over the past year I started becoming more and more depressed though, since I can't stand being stuck at home for such long and monotonous periods of time, and I lost more and more motivation. I think the thing about having separate spaces for work and rest comes into play here too: since I was expected to do all my work at home I quickly started feeling anxious and guilty every time I *wasn't* working, which ended up stressing me out so much that every little school-related task intimidated me. I cried many times and sometimes even taking out my laptop to open up zoom was enough to make me panic. It makes me feel stupid and weak, since it isn't like anything horrible happened to me and it's just having to stay at home that I can't deal with, but I also know I'm not the only one experiencing a development like this and that comforts me a little. After all, it's quite a particular and serious situation we're all in, with a life-threatening pandemic causing schools and workplaces to shut down and putting many people in lockdown. Anyway, sorry for venting, let's hope everyone gets their vaccinations and this'll be over soon so everything can get back to normal 💕
You’re definitely not alone in this. I stress over any task my school gives me, big or small. I feel guilty whenever I’m not working on something school related as well. My anxiety has definitely gotten worse because of all this. But we are not alone. There are millions of other students through this as well. It’s definitely hard and an awful situation, but hopefully soon we’ll be safe enough to ease back into the normal life.
@@carcharodon9827 I feel you ❤
Two things: first a reminder that you're not stupid, weak, or any other negative for being stressed and upset. That's just being human, especially in a situation like this. Second, the pandemic and all the stuff associated with it are definitely things mental health professionals are classing as traumatic events, so it's even more understandable and acceptable to be in a really low place mental health wise, especially by now. I hope you take time to be gentle with yourself where you can because you deserve it.
@@tweetthang96 Aw thank you for this reply, you're too sweet. And yeah I understand, although it's hard not to blame myself and my own mental instability I try to keep thinking that it's due to these particular circumstances and that hopefully it'll soon be over. Humans just aren't made to sit inside all day and be socially isolated. I'll take one day at a time and try not to worry too much. Thanks ❤
I love working from home. It's so nice to be able to actually spend time in my home with my pet on a daily basis. I get the house work done on my breaks and have a ton of time for myself after work. Definitely not a fan of driving in the winter.
I'm also enjoying it! I'm chronically ill and it's so much easier on me because I can go lay in bed for a few minutes if I need to, and I no longer have to sit on a bus for an hour twice a day.
being chronically ill, I love it, but as a student, I hate it. I feel like professors get away with putting so much less actual effort into teaching because they have other things to worry about. Not blaming them but it's hard to go from classes where the profs were engaging with the students to "read the textbook and spend 90mins of a 3hr class discussing it with other students." My grades have just TANKED and it really sucks.
Maybe stats and nails will merge in a way not yet known.
Hi! I was supposed to be doing teacher's college in Hamilton. Doing it from home is next to impossible. I have no motivation, no connection to my new classmates, and I am still exhausted. School from home sounds convenient, but it gets annoying real fast.
It's so interesting to watch this 3 years later... My husband still works from home 3 days a week since the pandemic and most of the office does, too. We love it. ❤😊
I, on the other hand dread going back to the office and hope to work from home forever
I'm actually glad that you guys made this part of the podcast and you clarified it the way you did, because I always have seen you in this light. Crazy ass hardworking people that have achieved a lot because they have worked hard and don't take breaks. I appreciate your guys's take on your personal lives and the fact that you're willing to clarify to people that do see this form of you.
I really love that both of you have kept your professional careers as a stable in your lives. I think it's really speaks to your true values and is a great influence to younger viewers. Best of luck working from home.
Halo Taco brought me a lot of joy over the past year when things were very rough. I’m glad you plan on seeing it continue for a long time 💕
I think it's wonderful that you care so much about your image and responsibility to your viewers to stress the importance of working, but I don't think that responsibility should weigh so heavily on you that it brings you massive amounts of stress. I don't think I am alone in saying that you are both wonderful role models regardless
I agree. Plus, even if they totally quit their government jobs, they are still the CEO and COO (iirc) of a nail polish company, so they would still have non youtube jobs
My Dad works for the government here in America and he’s been working from Home during COVID. He used to travel a lot and now that myself and my siblings have moved out it’s been good for my Mom to have Dad home so much cuz they have bonded even more over it. He also had recently had Heath issues so I think it’s been good for him to not be “going about” so much lately and recover.
I love working from home. My commute drive was so long here in Texas it took so much energy from me. I wish I could do my job part time but I need my salary. Lol. I love that you haven’t quit your job, it makes me respect you even more! Go get it girl!
There will come a day when you will be a role model for stepping back from your “day job (s)” and just doing whatever you want to do because you have worked long and hard and become successful enough to choose
I'm actually doing better working from home than in the office, BUT I do have a pretty good separation of space. My work computer is a desktop with two monitors, so it takes up the entire desk, which used to be my vanity, and I can't put my personal laptop on there to use for leisure time, I have to use it at my laptop desk, in bed, on the couch, etc. So I'm only working at the one desk, once I get up and sit somewhere else it creates a change of view and mindset, work mode switches off.
Omg when it cuts to Christine it looks like her arms are down her pants and I was like “hey, I used to do that at primary school to keep my arms warm!” But it was just the desk now I’m feeling silly
I used to do that too! Lmao
OC Transpo is garbageeee so I'm happy I dont have to use the Ottawa bus systems in the winter anymore!
But being inside crossing my work with my hobbies has been rough..So tough. :x
Once you stop taking oc, you never go back.
I'm kind of impressed by the fact with the money she probably have, she doesn't delegate responsibilities to other people aka editors for her videos, for example.
I love my at home "lay down desk" a.k.a. my sofa.
Baaayyyyyynnnnn is looking good too! You guys are perfect
I love the idea that you compared the Internet career to having a child xD sorry we're not ready for you to go back to desk work! We still want and need your attention, Simplymomlogical and dad!
So grateful to still have you ❤️🥰❤️
I agree with your points of view, but what worked for me was making my office at home, my work space, so my mind set was formated to when i'm in my office it's the same when i was in the "real office". Love you guys
Is no one going to talk about what she’s wearing on her left hand 👀
I believe the right one has unicorn dream combos on it, but what’s that beautiful mirror effect polish?!?!
I think it's her mint polish
I work at a public library in charge of the Young Adult collection. I was hired two weeks before we closed the library and had to work from home for awhile. I really did not like it and felt like I was just floating/drowning trying to figure things out. I give everyone props for making working from home work because I struggled and was happy to get back inside the building even if we were still closed to the public.
Can we just acknowledge the fact that Ben is really handsome
I can honestly still see you being a total spaz at 48. Just a graying a little and yelling “Beyyyn! Can you bring me my pills? And teeeeeea!”
What I don't like about my current WAH situation is that I have to share my desk with my beau. 😅 he plays on the desktop, while I do my work literally beside him, because I needed to be connected via LAN than wireless. 😅
My parttime job is luckily still in person and has been as its essential. But the studying from home has been a great struggle lately
I work as a state employee and I did not like working from home. I missed working from an office space and it did not make me super productive. Fortunately, I was able to get approval from my sups to go back to the office so I've been feeling much better.
I have been working from home since March 24, 2020 and I agree with the fact that working in the office was such a different life and that's what I'm missing
I for a local government building permit department and they're talking about us coming back full time to the office. :( Not thrilled.
It is super challenging pending your job. I work in manufacturing so I am very fortunate to be able to leave my house every day and escape the home for a few hours.
I'm a child therapist and it's so difficult working from home and trying to do virtual therapy with kids.
I love that you two have real and STABLE jobs - working for government. This is what true role models look like. Hard working, educated, and smart. And then we have the Paul family and the Dobriks with massive followings of under 25s .... 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm having to plan lessons and mark essays in bed BC my partner uses the living room for his work. Boundaries are very blurred 😬
I also started thinking that in America, a lot of people choose to “retire” by going part time just so that they can keep their health insurance benefits. But then I remembered, y’all are in Canada!
I work at home alone. My partner goes to the office. Sometimes, i only start using my voice at 7PM when he comes home because there was no meetings that day. I miss going to the office so so much.
Balance is very good in life! 💖
The thought of simply leaving youtube makes me want to cry.
idk how it works in the states and canada but where i live you have to work a certain amount of time to be able to retire and get payed when you do get retired, so im wondering is it the same in the states/canada and is youtube considered a job?
In Canada It depends on the job. Sone company’s pay into a retirement plan so part of your pay checks goes into a plan that you can access at 65ish. Some jobs don’t have that and you have to pay into an account on your own, But you don’t have to do it. If you work independently like RUclips, you would have to saved your own money to retire in a tax free retirement account.
How did I not know about these podcasts
I just got click baited by this vid even though I already seen that podcast.... 🤦♂️
I've always been curious on why Christine never outsources some of her tasks? I think there are quite a few youtubers who outsource their editing.
I have the feeling that Cristine is kinda a control freak 😂 She loves things done a certain way and it’s difficult to outsource..
She even edits the podcast where there’s not really much editing to do (in terms of special effects and humor), just switching cameras, and she does even that herself lol
What is balance? Professional school is all encompassing... especially online.
Have been working from home this whole time and it's very hard to stop. I found myself just marathon working for more than 12 hours at a time
Surprisingly there are alot of office jobs that are going back into the office. I work with insurance agents, and it's a select few of them that are still working from home. Also, I live in california.
Yeah Canada is handling stuff a bit different
I'd kind of like maybe one simply nailogical video every three months and be happy
where can we submit the questions they discuss on the podcast?
The thought of Cristine quitting her desk job is freaky to me and I don't know why!!
We work the same jobs, but I do education stats. Lots of working from home... but lots more overtime during the pandemic. Hang in there!
Cristine! Where did you get this headband?!
i love you guys so much🥺
* watching this as I get ready to return to my own soul destroying job *
Ben is looking snatched!
Cristine is QUEEN ✨👑✨
That makes sense that you cut down on hours, I did wonder how you did it all. Do you still get benefits working part time hours?
She said she's a permanent employee, just working reduced hours. It shouldn't affect her benefits.
I've literally thought you were a bank teller for the longest time.
I think I’m one of the few people at my desk job that actually misses the office. Everyone just doesn’t want to commute :P
I would have dropped dead trying to balance all of the responsibility
Whew! I really thought!
Four noisy, needy kids, in a small apartment with no garden or balcony... Working from home can be tough.
click bait video title u got me
Weird question... where is your jumper from?
I work admissions and marketing for subacute and LTC facility. Sadly, the governor decided to keep admissions rolling in and my corporate office chose to not require a negative COVID test until end of April 2020-it was scary to go into work everyday and know that we were in the middle of the fire. Corporate worked from home, of course they make the final decision on admits - when you are in the building, you feel so much more responsibility for the people coming in and the LTC patients that you want to keep healthy and safe.
Your voices are calming you can say goofy made up language words and I’d still get calm
Idk why I read the channel name as SimplyPathological 💀
Meanwhile my office is wanting us there 3 days a week now.
Does anyone know what kind of schooling you need for Statistics Canada? I have a bachelor of science...
Imagine being able to work at home during the pandemic. Can't relate.
How did you take a year off and go back?
You working in a day job seemed to me too a little weird, but now i get it. I don't know if you are a millionaire, but every billionaire has atleast 7 different incomes. And i don't mean that you want to be a millionaire, but it's just i get why you still work.
She said a while back that she’d paid over a million in taxes since starting RUclips, so she’s definitely a millionaire
@@MotoGPForever4527 okay
@@MotoGPForever4527 she actually isn’t a millionnaire if you were adult you would understand that over the years you pay quite a bit of money once you make more money and she’s only 31 and she works for the government and works on RUclips so she pays a lot of taxes
Unicorn Skin looking fresh
For that pension baby!!
Okay, i am curious for what i will hear
I‘m tired of working from home. Like I grateful that I still have a job in this times and I feel bad when I say this. But it takes a tool on my mental health, especially that I live alone
Ah... phew I’m 47 sooo there’s still time for me! A few months left! 🤦🏻♀️
I actually think this is a really good thing. Christina and Ben are thinking ahead to the Future RUclips isn't probably going to be around forever and so while they are making a lot of money on RUclips their governmental jobs will allow them to have retirement funds 401K benefits for when they retire I think that's a much better thing to be teaching people on RUclips like yes you can monetize your hobbies this is really great we are very lucky to have this but we are also very grounded in reality and know that eventually we would like to be able to retire and do our passions outside of RUclips really I respect that so much more than someone like Jake Paul flexes how much money has but has no idea about saving or doing anything with that money that isn't just for RUclips
