I don’t think this is realistic for those who do pay for housing costs, bills, student loans, car notes, etc. but it was satisfying to see the break down!
I am super impressed by your savings and planning skills. Well done!!! You seriously rock!!! I would definitely love to see a video on budgeting, I am sure I could learn a lot from you
Nagoya is a beautiful city. I love the architecture there. When I lived in Tokyo I went there a lot by Shinkansen. I still live in Japan, but moved to Naha for my company, I’m from the United States originally.
@@japansofarOh nice. It is interesting that we are talking on K Choi's channel because her videos are not really about Japan-related content. What do you do in Nara?? Nara is a historical city that attracts many tourists. I am jealous!
ANOTHER SOLID VIDEO! So interesting to see how you did it! 50% saving is A MUST!!!!! Can’t wait to explore investing with you and watch our money GROOWWWWW 💰💰💰
Your voice is so beautiful and clear. So I can practice listening to English. And thank you for your shares for saving up!! I can learn many things from you.
This video is so helpful ! I am currently working on my master degree in NUS, and I do need to do the internship and save money for my expense. Actually your videos are helpful to me, bring me the idea to start a master degree. Looking forward to see more your videos.
Hahahah fellow NUS grad here (bachelors degree only though). Are you planning to take the MOE tuition grant? Can save a big chunk of $$$, though you need to be bonded to work in Singapore for a few years.
rewatching the video as I am more interested in attending grad school few years in the future. Really admire your discipline and savings habit, totally motivated by this video
I love how eloquent you are 🥺💖 this is so useful as a reference bc I’m a high school student already budgeting for university haha. so glad this appeared in my recommendations!
This is motivating to start saving more money! I'm planning to go to Japan in May 2020 and move out in around fall of 2020/winter of 2021. Unfortunately I pay rent to my family and have been since I was 18 (almost 500/month from 18 to 21ish, sometimes more). I haven't been able to save hardly any money because most of mine went to help my family out. However, I'm almost done my degree and will be able to work more and my family is doing better financially so I don't have to give them as much as before (been giving them around 200/month since I was 21ish, 23 now). I'm hoping I can save a good chunk so I can go on my trip and have a good emergency savings for when I move out!! I have about 9 months to save for Japan and a little over a year to save for my emergency fund to move out... I have to start paying back my student loans in around June of 2020 which will definitely make it difficult....but I can do this!!!! Would you ever be interested in doing a video on moving out by yourself one day and how to prep and things they don't tell you about it? I don't know if you have any experience yet but it'd be very informative!
You definitely have different challenges to face but you can do it!! And good for you for helping your family like that 💛 and a video on moving out is a good one!
You rule! I wish I saved more when I was in my 20s 😅 Speaking of your grad school stint in London, I really enjoyed watching those videos -- the meal prep, etc. They were, to say the least, therapeutic.
Thanks so much! I am planning on going for grad school in the Europe but I was super confused as to how do I save up money. I am really glad I found this, my job has a similar payroll and I am working remote so this was really encouraging for me.
i love this video! it’s going to help me a lot on budgeting and saving for college. i really want to study in New York and China so i need to start saving now! thank you for the video💜
Hi Kchoi!! You are such a good person at planning and make your life prepared for everything beforehand. Saving is such a difficult things for me cuz I can't control myself and always spend money on clothes, eating outside, buying things I don't need etc. But I created a new bank account this year and force myself to put money in it every month. Hope its getting better and I can be as discipline as you one day !! haha ;) Like your videos!
I love me some saving video!!! Haha Pls do some investing video or budgeting video. How do you save money for traveling and still have money to save up for investing or emergency funds? Thanks 💕💕💕
Oh my gosh, your hair is super long now! I haven't been that active lately in YT since I came back from London (We met during Joan's m&g at Tate Modern and it was nice having a little chat with you as well!) I hope you're doing great! 💕
Well done, i've done the same. But in the Netherlands you can go to the best University for about 2000 euro a year, so I did not spend my savings on education. Ended up using the money to buy my first appartement (of course with a mortage as well), but without saving I don't think I would be able to buy at the current market which is crazy for starters. Still have a lot of money now due to work + mortage is so much better/lower than rent.
I love this video, I’m going to England in sep for my master degree and I could totally relate to your saving habit. I start doing my first tutoring job at 16 and start saving since college , and after two years of working after post grads, I still didn’t have quite enough money and I’m so thankful for my parents for the support.
kchoi I’m going to university of leeds ! The living cost is definitely cheaper than Landon, but this video reminds me to budget for food and transport etc, I didn’t think of that while budgeting , so this helps a lot! 👍
I am a rising sophomore in college with an on-campus job and this video was really informative!! I have never really thought about rationing out my school earnings to my savings account after each paycheck. It does make more sense because it helps you have a secure foundation, money-wise. I live a pretty frugal life, so I usually tend to just let my earnings sit in my checking account..but now after watching your video, I feel like I gained a more widened perspective when it comes to saving which also means that I have to be more vigilant towards what I spend my money on. Aside from that, I'm definitely looking forward to the budgeting video!
glad i could help in some way!! the next step after developing some good saving habits might be to invest that money so it's not just sitting there, but GROWING! that's my next step, anyway!
It's great to see young people actually save money at an early age but for those who have car payments, credit card bills, and living expenses it is very difficult to save that much. I work part time and can't afford to save for school because I have all those expenses which I'm trying to pay off.
For young people, the fastest way you can earn more is to switch jobs regularly(around 2 years per job). Learn what you can and switch. You are not going to working forever, and you will become older, so make sure you are getting paid as much you can. For fresh grads, unless you are doing internship/industry attachments as part of your degree, go straight for full-time jobs as most proper roles are for full-timers, might as well get paid for it.
Wow you are impressive!! I have my first big girl job now and it has almost been a year. Since I don't have too much bills to pay, I give 50% of my paycheck to my mom so she can pay off the mortgage for the house. I save 10% and use about 40% of my paycheck, so kind of glad my mom taught me how to save as well!! :P
You are amazing! I am currently doing my masters but still being paid by parents. I thought about doing a part time job during college but I literally just spent all the spare time studying otherwise I could not get the gap I needed to apply for my masters. I can tell you are such a smart girl, good at managing finance and time. One last question : how could u control your desire to buy things? Cuz I never was able to save money since there are always so many things that I want to buy!
Yes please do a video about investing! I think for me, after grads school, my next goal would also be to invest my savings , but I have no idea how investments works 😂
Hi. Love ur videos. Very informative and precise. Can you please make a video showing career progression, in terms of salary and job profile, of an average MiM graduate in consulting industry, over a period of 5/10 years? It is very difficult to find accurate information on internet on what lies ahead of graduating from a MiM program. Thank you.
Yay! Thank you for this 😍 . . . Follow up question, do you think having your Masters degree internationally affected your overall financial capability by now or was it the ranking of your uni in UK, etc.? Still in the process of finding the right school and/or country to do my Masters. Thanks in advance 😊
Hmmm I don’t think the ranking of my uni made much of a difference in the States because although UCL is top-ranked and very well-known in Europe/UK, it’s not AS well known in the US (outside of academia, maybe). I think for me it was my overall story/journey and going to London for my masters made the most sense to get to where I am now!
Heyy, great video! I'm a studying currently studying my undergrad in engineering in India. I wanted to know if it's possibo to work part time in London while studying at UCLA to pay for bills and living expenses?
Are we the same person?! I did the exact same thing and I can confirm it 100% works! One more tip for people who are interested: check if your bank has the option to auto-transfer some money into your savings account every time you use your debit card. It can be as little as $0.50-$1.00 per transaction on your debit card but it'll add up!
I'm surprised at how people live paycheck to paycheck and don't even consider saving. Saving first is the biggest and most important thing for being financially responsible. I see it as if I'm getting paid £2000 per month, then at least £1000 goes into savings instantly. Like, not even seen, much like tax deduction. But jeez this is difficult in the USA, particularly with 401k and health insurance. All credit to you. I'm saving up to do an MBA (even though I've already done a PhD) cos businesses just don't take me seriously cos I don't have 5 years experience.
I'm not sure if you will be able to offer any advice but I am feeling so down. I am a second year university student. I go to a very average university which isn't seen as a target university, I'm worried I've ruined everything for myself ! How will I get into consultancy despite my placements when many people have gone to a better college than me.
I wonder if kchoi was approached by any Americans or Brits while she was living in either of these countries by saying "Oh, you speak English really well." in a sarcastic way. I say this because Asian Americans are still viewed as "foreigners" in the U.S/U.K which is ridiculous because many Asians were born and raised there which make them perfectly Americans or Brits like white people or any other race living there. Honestly, she speaks English better than most Americans and Brits if you ask me. BTW, I am an Asian as well.
One time, in Bristol, I was standing in line talking to my friend and a guy turned around, perplexed, and said “You look Asian, but you sound American.” 🧐
@@bykchoi thanks, I have a budgeting question. How do you stick to your budget. I struggle to be consistent and the moment I falling behind I struggle with picking it up again 😭😭
Hey there! Greetings from Turkey! Love how informative your channel is ! I have few questions for you, I’d be more than glad if you’ve answered them :-) soo, say you were just graduated from college and had the money, would you still consider choosing Masters degree in London that doesn’t require work experience right away? Do you think its better to work 1 year or two on the field of choice than choosing a Masters degree that doesnt require work experience right away? Have 1-2 years of work after school effected your acceptance process to the Masters? Do you think that a masters degree “not requiring work experience gor application” is better aplied quickly? Thank you
It all depends. If I knew right after graduating college that I wanted to go into consulting, then maybe I would have considered doing that program. For my situation, it made sense to work first, then get my degree and switch careers. For others it might be different!
Great one! I also have the habit to save up 70% when having the income, it makes a lot different! And I am thinking about to study in London too, maybe art, maybe business, do you have any suggustion~?
Those are pretty different fields! All depends on what you want to do. I have some videos talking about whether you should go to grad school, so maybe those can help you decide!
I'm so glad I found this video! I'm older (in my mid-30s) but I'm lucky I already save 50-70% of my income and right now I make $50K from my day job and $10-$15K from self employment right now. I still live like I make $15,000 a year (health care costs being the big variable because america) and I don't have any debt (since I waited to go to undergrad until I was in my mid-20s and could get good financial aid). So HOPEFULLY I can have about $40K saved by this time next year. Thank you!
Girl, I enjoy watching this video so much. After saving for this long n hard, was it hard for you to decided to use basically all of the savings for the master? I’m exactly at the same stage in my life right now. A bit hesitant...
I wouldn’t say hard, but I was definitely very budget conscious when I was in London because I knew I was basically just eating into my savings 😂 but it was an experience I had been working towards for so long and I was ready! I also got a part time job while I was in London and was making (VERY) small amounts on RUclips so that helped too.
I don’t think this is realistic for those who do pay for housing costs, bills, student loans, car notes, etc. but it was satisfying to see the break down!
Especially those with Medical debt.. I can't even save 10% of my income.
Kris Carlson SHEESH, America needs to sort there medical shit
@NCT illichi Don't always assume peoples situation, I already work near 60 hours a week.
@@monsterkis True, it sucks.
it stiil will help when ur expenses go down

Wow that's awesome! I just started saving since March and I'm at around $11,000. I love the 50-70% of the paycheck tip!
👏
I love how you say "aggressively saving". Remember you have a fan in Japan!

One more tip for people who are interested: check if your bank has the option to auto-transfer some money into your savings account every time you use your debit card.

I'm not sure if you will be able to offer any advice but I am feeling so down. I am a second year university student. I go to a very average university which isn't seen as a target university, I'm worried I've ruined everything for myself ! How will I get into consultancy despite my placements when many people have gone to a better college than me.
I wonder if kchoi was approached by any Americans or Brits while she was living in either of these countries by saying "Oh, you speak English really well." in a sarcastic way. I say this because Asian Americans are still viewed as "foreigners" in the U.S/U.K which is ridiculous because many Asians were born and raised there which make them perfectly Americans or Brits like white people or any other race living there. Honestly, she speaks English better than most Americans and Brits if you ask me. BTW, I am an Asian as well.
One time, in Bristol, I was standing in line talking to my friend and a guy turned around, perplexed, and said “You look Asian, but you sound American.” 🧐
Please do share & make a video on investments !!

Do you think its better to work 1 year or two on the field of choice than choosing a Masters degree that doesnt require work experience right away? Have 1-2 years of work after school effected your acceptance process to the Masters? Do you think that a masters degree “not requiring work experience gor application” is better aplied quickly?
Thank you
It all depends. If I knew right after graduating college that I wanted to go into consulting, then maybe I would have considered doing that program. For my situation, it made sense to work first, then get my degree and switch careers. For others it might be different!
kchoi thank you very much for a kind answer 🙏🏻
Thanks for breaking down your budget. It sounds like you didn't have any student loans - is that right?
hope it was helpful, and correct -- very luckily no student loans.
My favorite money book I will teach you to be rich by ramit sethi! Thank you for sharing your saving journey!
Great one! I also have the habit to save up 70% when having the income, it makes a lot different! And I am thinking about to study in London too, maybe art, maybe business, do you have any suggustion~?
Those are pretty different fields! All depends on what you want to do. I have some videos talking about whether you should go to grad school, so maybe those can help you decide!
@@bykchoi Great!
Great video.
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this video! I'm older (in my mid-30s) but I'm lucky I already save 50-70% of my income and right now I make $50K from my day job and $10-$15K from self employment right now. I still live like I make $15,000 a year (health care costs being the big variable because america) and I don't have any debt (since I waited to go to undergrad until I was in my mid-20s and could get good financial aid). So HOPEFULLY I can have about $40K saved by this time next year. Thank you!
Can you share your spreadsheet so we can use it?
so...what are you saving for now? lambo?
🙃
Girl, I enjoy watching this video so much. After saving for this long n hard, was it hard for you to decided to use basically all of the savings for the master? I’m exactly at the same stage in my life right now. A bit hesitant...
I wouldn’t say hard, but I was definitely very budget conscious when I was in London because I knew I was basically just eating into my savings 😂 but it was an experience I had been working towards for so long and I was ready! I also got a part time job while I was in London and was making (VERY) small amounts on RUclips so that helped too.
Loan is a better option
comeback to see ucl！ i just moved here i wanna spot u ！
Got my a computer science degree, got a good paying job... single.. no debt... 1.5 years laters.. I haven’t saved sh*t. 😭
