✨ About me: ✨
Hi, I’m Zoe! (Pronounced like Zoey) I’m a 26 year old from Montreal making videos about my REAL life. After quitting my management consulting "dream job", then being laid off from a startup job, I decided to take a chance and work for myself. I'm now mainly focused on RUclips (my absolute passion) and side-hustle contracts in the copywriting and admin fields.
My videos centre around work, gentle productivity, mental health & personal wellness, with a touch of fashion, tech, and whatever else I'm living. My goal is to be open & honest ALWAYS and for my channel to be a fun, inspiring place where we can set goals and live our best lives together. I would love for you to subscribe 💝
have you ever had debt?
Congratulations!! I recently watched your vid on knocking out your student loan debt and it was such an inspiration. I have student loan and consumer CC debt, which is what gave me the motivation to take control of my finances and really make my money work for ME, instead of feeling like I was living paycheck to paycheck and a slave to my money. Your videos have consistently offered a breath of fresh air with your abundance mindset and the kindness and grace you show yourself throughout the entire process of setting, working towards, and achieving your financial (and overall life) goals. Keep doing what you're doing! Sending love and positivity from NJ xx
No
Hi Zoe!! I've never had debt but that's because I'm super anxious with my money spending😅ahahah. I always try to stick to my money budget and never get tempted to get out of it
@@filipaalvesferreira6178 Oh, the shaking and tears of anxiety the thought brings! I concur with your experience, no doubt thanks to crippling fear!
Yes.osap and credit card
Lowering your spending is a pay raise you grant yourself.
I got into 7k of CC debt in order to move off of my sister's couch after college. I am only a few weeks away from paying it off after almost a year of working really hard to whittle it down! After that I will tackle my 35k in student loans. It's really nice to hear your story. Congratulations
that’s incredible!! so happy for you 🩷💸 keep up the amazing work!
Wow, okay thank you so much for commenting about your experience! I have about 7k of cc debt as well and calculating how quick I’ll be able to pay it off left me a bit discouraged because it’s going to take me about a year as well. Everyone seems to be making tons of money and paying things off super quick so I felt like it would take so long for me to do that much compared to others. I feel a lot better now that I know you’ve done the same as what I’m about to try. Thanks!
I feel like most financial RUclipsrs are like "I just paid off my 3rd house." I feel like you're an average American that inspires others with more realistic numbers. Thank you.
average Canadian 😉 but yes haha
I dont know if its slightly different in Canada, but I just recently paid off my car and it didnt fully hit me that the car was mine until I opened the mail one day shortly after paying, and it contained the car deed! I kinda forgot I would receive that and it was such a great feeling! Congrats to you!
I have $21k out of my original $57k left to pay off. This video inspired me to keep going. Thanks for sharing your journey with us Zoe, and congrats!!
ahhh you’re doing amazing!!! keep it up 🩷✨ and thank you!
Keep going. The financial peace you'll achieve will keep you from going back into debt.
Congratulations Zoe! HUGE girl, HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been credit card debt free since June of this year. Feels SOOOOOOOOOOO good. I still have a mortgage and a car payment that will be paid off in Feb of 2025. I am so happy for you.
yayyy amazing achievement 😍😍😍 so happy for you! and THANK YOU 🩷
WICKED. I'm so proud of you. I became debt free last year and the feeling of no longer being a debt slave is amazing. Enjoy it.
amaaaazing!! So happy for you! and thank you 💖
Congrats on your consistent hard work to get debt free!
thank you so much!! 🩷🩷
I started a sinking fund this time last year for Christmas gifts and it was a game changer! It felt so nice going into January and only having a little left to pay off on my credit card because I had already saved up for it in advance. I've kept it going this entire year for gifts, and each paycheque I contribute a small amount into a savings account.
Once I'm debt free, I want to have a sinking fund for trips.
CONGRATS! Becoming debt free is such a great feeling, hold onto it and celebrate it as long as you can
Congrats Zoe!!! Great job on paying off your debt and good luck with all your future plans! I have about $26,000 of student loans to pay off on a low income but I feel more motivated than ever to get it done! Thanks for always being our inspiration!
Isn't the whole idea of going into debt for a degree is to earn more money ??
I paid off my car this past Friday!! I still have plenty of other debt, but I’m super proud to have paid that off
Yay I'm so happy for you! This is so motivating and can't wait to join you on your investing/saving journey!
Congratulations Zoe! I am so proud of you!! I really enjoyed following you along this journey 🩷
YAY, Zoe!!! It feels wonderful to unload debt!!! Celebrate your dedication that accomplished this!
Congratulations! What a testament to your willpower, perseverance, and choice to take life in hand rather than the other way round. Well deserved!
go girl! im working towards paying off the mortgage by 2025 and overtime has been helping me. im tired but i gotta do it!!
Congrats Zoe! Have been following you for a few years now and its amazing to see how much progress and growth you’ve made both with your finances and as a person! ❤

So so so proud of you! And I’m honestly proud to be a part of your community here on RUclips ❤❤
I'm terrified of completion as well and my thereapist actually said it is a form of anxiety and OCD. She diagnosed me with both.
so interesting!!

I found your channel with your video sharing that you lost your job, and girl. I hope you are SO incredibly proud of yourself for how far you've come since then!
Congrats zoe!!! YAY! im so happy for you.
So happy for you and hadn’t realised you were so close to this point! Xxx

So congratulations, and plz keep doing what you're doing it's extremely rewarding. :)
Woot! Nice job 🎉 being debt free is the best feeling!
I have 14.2k left of my 20k student loan balance left to pay. I’m also tackling CC debt I’ve incurred while in school and post-grad as well. This video inspired me to keep going. Congrats Zoe & thanks for sharing! 🎉

Congratulations Zoe!! I'm so proud and happy for you. I have been following along on your journey for about a little more than a year now. You have come so far and helped to inspire me and so many individuals. I'm in my last year as an undergraduate student and I have been slowly but surely paying off my car and small amount of student loans that I have. It's so great knowinf that I will be able to be where you are now someday soon. You're the best ❤😊

Hi Zoe, proud of you! Congratulations 🎉❤
Congratulations! 🥳🎉
This is SUCH A BIG moment Zoe! I'm so so so happy for you! You did it! Hard work will always pay off ❤ it's like a new chapter is beginning now ✨️
OMG I love it when my faves watch my faves! 😀😀🤍
@@robyn_southafrica omg thank you 🥺🤧❤️
Congratulations Zoe!!!🎉 O greeting from south texas. I've been watching your channel for some time now. Since your video when you were let go from your job. Love how you just "keeping real" on your videos. Also love maggie. Am a dog person.
this is so exciting-- congratulations!!!
Hey Zoe! Super congrats on on your debt payment!!!! I’m super proud of you and even though we are 20 some years apart😂 I feel like this is me….. I had a $ 20,000 car loan and while I was making minimum payments, when Covid was at the tail end, I got a great job and was able to really put a dent into paying off my debt! It took exactly 1 yr for me to pay off that debt from the time I got my new job, so when you talk about driving around in your car knowing how it’s already paid off…..that feeling is the BEST!!
Congrats Zoe❤🎉
CONGRATS GIRL!!!! I’m so happy and so proud of you!!!
I’m debt free now but I did go into debt for wisdom teeth extraction and both my cars. I traded in my first car when the market was hot hot hot. Girl, I got my 2017 Acord Sport for 26k (39k milage and paid off) and sold it for 23k. Once in a life time experience. Paid off my 2022 Honda HR-V in early March this year.
So proud of you Zoe! You are a star, and very inspirational 🎉❤
this means so much to me 🥹🩷 thank you!!
Woohoo!! Go Zoe!
Congratulations! Way to go!
Congratulations Zoe 👏👏I’m so proud of you. I have been following your journey, and want to say Great job. I think we would toast to this 🥂❤️

@@ZoePritchard thanks Zoe, I'm pumped for that day!! 💪😄
I’ve been subscribed since some time in 2020 or 2021 so it’s exciting to see this title. Congratulations!
thank you for being on this journey with me for so long 🩷 your support means the whole world 🌎
Im so glad you finished! Thank you for being an inspiration to many of us. I cant wait until im done finished paying of my debt!
Keep it up!! and thank you 💖
Congrats Zoe 💕
Congrats, Zoe🎉
I have been following you now for probably six months! So proud of you and how far you’ve come!!! Congratulations that is such a huge accomplishment!! 💛 I’m on route and your budget tracker is something I’ve stuck to religiously as well as the financielle app and her first 100k podcasts! I just organized all of my sinking fund categories and cash envelopes and I’m ready to start in October!! thank you Zoe! 👏
Also Zoe not sure if you’ll see this but I was so similar to you with completion and it ended up I was diagnosed with ADHD! It’s helped me understand myself so much! I think with my finances I had that same feeling.
Thank you so much!!! Omg I need to check out this podcast 😍 Sounds so interesting!
I have that same issue Zoe - I won't finish something even if I'm super close to finishing. I think part of it is having a "perfectionist" mindset, where if you finish the task that would theoretically mean it is completed perfectly, when in reality we aren't ready to put that stamp of approval of "it's perfect so I can finish it"
If we put it off for later that means we still have time to perfect it
But in reality we should just finish the task anyway!! Better to be done and turned it rather than 90% done and waiting for the perfect time to submit
This is the best video i have seen today. Thank you for the inspiration
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congrats! so inspiring! and I still love your little Louie V!!!
Congratulations girl ❤❤❤❤
Contrats! I'm so happy for you. I definitely feel the pain of having to spend way more on a car than you thought. I was hoping to get away with spending 5k, but it looks like I'll be at least 15 if i want it and myself to survive the winter up north.
You’re amazing Zoe!
I will be debt free next week and I'm so excited!
🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations!!
Congrats on hitting your big goal!
thank you so much!! 💖
New sub. Just found out that I may not be able to maintain the same job in 1.5 years as their relocation guidelines have tightened. Will be watching your videos for motivation to stick to that cash budget.
wish you the best!! I've been in the losing my job boat and it is so hard, but it all happens for a reason!
Congratulations!!! 🩷🥳
It's truly one of the best feelings in the world. Happy for you fam!
thank youu!!!
I'm watching from Arizona! Hope you have an awesome visit here.
Congrats on being debt free! 🎉
Congrats on your hard work
Glad I came across your page, I'm from Ontario as well. Currently paid of 4k on one card another 2 k on another. So total CC debt left is about 1800$. Up next my car loan which is 18k. I really regret getting a car way out my budget but the car market has been so crazy this year even used. Would have driven my old Volkswagen till the wheels fell off, but the It was totalled a year ago. keep it going! :)
congrats!!!! what a great feeling to have 🥳🥳🥳🥳
thank youu 💖
I think you also had like a 2000 line of credit that you also payed off 🎉🎉
Congratulations on debt free 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
so true!!! i always forget about that one 😂 Thank youuuu 💖💖
cant believe im this earlywatching your videos. love sunday chats 💕
yayy hope you enjoy 🩷🩷🩷
Congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I am paying off Cc debt. It’s going to take until august 2025 but I am determined to do it.
I'm out of 'bad debt'--no credit card debt, car loan, etc. It really does feel amazing, and to pay off $55K must be such a relief. I went through a similar issue lacking financial discipline, especially during the pandemic while trapped at home, impulse buying online.
What I've got left is the 'big one': my mortgage. That's going to take a while, of course, but I'm enjoying squirreling away money each month into index funds for a planned big lump sum at renewal down the line and seeing it accumulate while I chip away at my mortgage. It almost becomes a game when you have that goal in front of you, and I like to budget based on percentages of take home to avoid lifestyle creep from getting in the way of savings/retirement goals.
Ok ive never related more to a comment!! Congrats on your money moves and love your mindset towards your mortgage. I dont have one yet but I bet I’ll be the same as you when I do!
Congrats! I also paid off 55k in student loan debt almost to the day you posted this!
woaaaah twins!! congratulations 💖💖💖 so exciting!
You're doing so amazing! 🎉
thank you so much!! 💖💖
Congrats!!!
Congratulations!!!!!! That must feel so good. I also just became debt free . Feels so good to not have any debt anymore. Can’t believe I made it, it’s been years!
thats amazing!!! im so happy for you 😍💸 what a feeeeling
congrats zoe!
thank youuu!! 💛
Thats amazing! I cant wait to feel that feeling. i just graduated in May with my B.S. in Psychology. I have $40,000 and it feels so daunting but If i can id like to pay it off in three to four years.
congratulations on your degree!! ✨✨ if you make it a priority you can definitely achieve your goal 🩷🩷 you got this!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you🎉🎉🎉
I’m the same way! I can never commit to anything!
thank youu!!! 🩷🩷✨
