What makes rhea so special is that she doesn't flaunt her luxuries to the rest of the world unlike other vloggers, and she is very honest about her journey and doesn't cover up the bad parts. She improves and doesn't try to take pity for her difficult past, unlike many other vloggers who excuse their present bad behavior for their tough upbringing. She doesn't exaggerate her wealth, pretend to live very luxuriously and is very open about her pay and her struggles. we are all so proud of you rhea, wish you all the best!

Ikr, it makes me realize that you don't have to act the complete opposite of yourself just to fit in and be cool. I remember when I tried to post vlogs on my channel, I was real bad depressed, and yes it was fun making them, but after re-watching them something was off. I'm a really quiet and reserved person, I saw a different person in the videos I made. I even used slang I NEVER use (not cussing or anything ) and slapping on a fake smile was worse. I was hurting myself more than expressing myself. Yes I can be funny sometimes but- what I saw, I was hurting. I had planned on doing story times, even doing one based on a bad betrayal I had- but I told myself "Am I on the intent of trying to expose my bully, or will it be a lesson to others to be careful?" I took all of my videos down and made one private. I may start again when _I feel comfortable_

That's also so beautiful. I remember reading a Book called I'll Take Manhattan where Zachary Amberville the Son of French & Swedish Ancestry went to Columbia to Study Journalism who was on Scholarship. He waited Tables at The Lion's Den Restaurant and lived off of his Tips and sent the Bulk home to his Widowed Mother to help take care of his Brother Cutter & Sister Emily. When he became successful in Publishing he paid his Brother Cutter's Tuition at Stanford University in Los Angeles, CA but instead of being Grateful, Cutter was very cruel to his Brother.

I have always rather hated the term "Money can't buy happiness." After living in an impoverished area of Kentucky for 6 years, struggling to find employment, in a shitty trailer park infested with roaches and our trailer literally falling apart around us...then moving back to my hometown in Pennsylvania and getting good paying jobs for myself and my husband, moving into a nice apartment and able to buy enough food and things for our cats... It has been a journey, these last 10 years, for my husband and I. There was a time, living in that horrible place, where I felt that I could no longer go on and I had thoughts of suicide. I'm 35 years old in a far better place, physically and mentally, and I now think that the phrase should be "Money can't buy happiness, but it can pave the way to finding happiness."

"Money can't buy happiness " is usually used on those filthy rich people who think they can buy anything, even love, friends, and health... They don't care about building relationships and maintaining healthy lifestyle but only use their money to solve their problems. This sentence properly explains them. I've never once thought it's applicable to normal people working hard for their everyday lives, living with their loved ones, surrounded by understanding friends and eating well. Glad that you're living a happier life btw.

This was my experience watching this. I grew up in a mid to upper middle class area but we were more towards the middle of middle class. A lot of kids at school got new games and electronics which my parents could not afford and of course I was jealous. There was always food, clothes and presents under the Christmas tree (even if they weren't a playstation) and these stories put your whole life in perspective. Yes there are people with more money but there are so many with less and suffering.

This was really beautiful, when you were talking about the budgeting and you not being able to eat the food you wanted, I looked down and saw the nice dish in front of me. I realized how lucky I am to have all of this, and how hardworking my mother has been. My father was abusive to the point where the only choice we had was to escape. I moved from Nicaragua to The US, thankfully we were able to do it legally, and at the time, I was 5. We had family here so we didn’t have to struggle financially as much as others would. It was really hard not being able to communicate so I learned english(up to the level I was at in age) in 1 year or less. I grew up in a loving household with my mother, brother, grandparents, aunt and cousin. I thought we had it easy since I could ask for something and my mother would be able to provide it. My mother worked from 7am -5pm, at a clothing factory, where they would unpack trucks and pack clothing while scanning them and separating them. She did meet the man I now consider my father and we moved across the street to my grandparents. It was when I started getting older that I realized that the only way we would have all of this was through my parents hard work. I had always been a good student, straight A’s, the first time I got a B+, I remember sobbing to my mom and just saying sorry. All she did was look at me and hug me saying, you did a great job, I am so proud of you, you worked hard. I have always tried to be the best in my studies to make sure I can graduate from university with a doctorate in Marine Biology since I really like the medical field but I get people shy, therefore I mixed my love of medicine and animals. I still think that through all my hardships, I am still very lucky. I have a great and loving home, a very stocked kitchen, a nice bedroom, very nice clothing and I get to travel and go places that many people who don’t have as much would only dream to go to. I am very thankful to god for giving my such a great mother. This thought surfaced recently when I went to a store and got 3 things but it totaled up to about $145. I looked up to my mom and told her, this is too expensive but she just ignored me and payed for it. As we were leaving the store and going to another one, she just smiled and patted my head. Although I haven’t seen my father for about 9 years now, I don’t feel like anything is missing from my life, I am really happy with who I am and where I come from. I decided to share my story to tell those who may be struggling that everything will get better, it may be a long ride but the ending destination will always be worth it. If you want to smile, smile with a calm mind. If you want to cry, cry knowing you are brave for showing your emotions. If you think that no one loves you, you are wrong, I may not know you but I do love you and I am very proud of where you have gotten to and the fact that you haven’t given up. I may only be 14, and I may be faced with many more struggles to come, but I am excited to see what the future brings. Please make sure to stay healthy and happy everyone! I love you all❤️❤️❤️❤️

Make sure your home is nice and clean because Clutter cuts off energy. Way to go.

I think I’m doing way better now because I’m earning my own money now by helping my parents and spending time mowing my neighbours lawn and I’m going to use it wisely I even made my self a bank so if my parents don’t have cash I’ll just put the money I’m earning from doing some chores I’ll just write it down.

You mentioned that money can't buy many things such as good health, friendship, love etc, but I can't agree. Money cannot buy you health directly but it can buy you proper nutrition and good medical care when needed (in the end contributing to your health). Money can allow you to not work three jobs and therefore have time to build relationships with people (it's much easier to maintain friendship and romance). Money helps you donate to charity directly and help others considerably (e.g.fully paying for a much needed renovation in dog shelter, or buy expensive medicine for an elder who cannot afford it), therefore boosting your happiness and content (it can be also achieved when you can afford to study and learn what makes you happy and dedicate enough time to it). Money contributes to almost everything in life, the point is how to use it.

The grocery store is so quiet and serene. In America, everyone is rushing to get in and out, kids are crying and there’s traffic. I love Japan and must visit one day.

For the 6 years we've been together, my husband and I tripled our initial income. But my mind is still set in those times were I was analysing prices of yoghurt and choosing cheaper one! We were very hopeful about the future as he got a fantastic new job, and I was in the final stages of very promising job, but that was 3 weeks ago. Now with the virus, I only hope he can start his new job as planned and I can keep my current job. Funny how it all changes, couple of weeks ago I was planning which designer bag I will get first, now I pray that things remain unchanged...

I can totally relate to this. I have also experienced the part where we only eat rice with salt and soy sauce. Where we go to each houses to collect empty bottles, Irons and other things which we can sell on junkshops. I'm grateful to undergo this experiences it just made me strong and independent. Before, I also wished to have lots of money to be happy but as I grew older and started to earn, it was then I realized that money doesn't make you happy. What makes us happy is our perspective in life (how we see life). Yes, money can buy things and makes you happy but without being contented with even just the little things you have,, you can never be happy.

26 March 2020, Palermo, Sicily. I needed such a calming video to take my mind off the Coronavirus anxiety. I'm glad for the both of you that your husband has been offered a job.

You're so humble, sincere & genuine. I never skipped your ads. Your contents are valuable, you spent much time thinking abt them for sure and it's just fair for us viewers not to skip your ads. Bless you and your family ❤

The way you made us understood the importance of money , where to use and how much to use and how to save that and specially how to be happy with the little things you do. I just loved how honest you are and brave from your childhood. Lots of love, sis keep growing ❤️

Your story touched my heart and it inspired me.. I’m not living my best life yet, but I’m working and having faith to live the simple, beautiful life I’m dreaming about. I think I’m close finally. I hope you achieve everything you desire. I love you Rhea.🌻🌻🌻

Your story really resonated with me. My mom raised me and my three older siblings all by herself, and she had to rely on the government to provide food for us, but even then, I remember seeing her come home from working two shifts looking so tired, even as a kid I would also think "I wish we had more money." Your selflessness to take care of your family is very generous and kind of you, I admire that a lot.

YOU HAVE AFFILIATE LINKS NOW??? OH MY GOD, IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! T_T get that coin, sis.

"Eating icecream with my husband is happiness" This made me to take the SCREENSHOT. And about money? Money doesn't buy happiness but it is a surviving tool that "erase" unhappiness out of ones lives.

The story about your family really touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. You are wonderfully humble and I enjoy watching your vlogs. Thank you for sharing your life with us ♥️

Even though growing up poor and having to work hard for my things that I had to buy for myself I wouldn’t change it because it has made me the person I am today, Christian, loving, giving, and never take anything for granted✨

Thank you Rhea for sharing your story. I had the same feeling about money, there was a time where i have no money and i cannot afford to buy food. I have to go to charity and it break my heart and my pride but I wouldn't change anything from this period of my life. I had the best and the worst memories at the same time.. Love from Paris 🧡

To charity ? I can’t believe it ? In France ? It s awful ! No offence.

Your journey really inspires me. I'm the eldest sister in a single-parent family and I basically became the absent parent. Seeing our basic assets being taken away because we couldn't afford the bills was terrifying but it shaped who I am today. I have a stable job now and I can afford to help my family. Sometimes I feel a little sad and defeated, my friends splash the cash on luxury holidays but I'm still frugal to support my sister in college, but my childhood was so much worse. Thank you for sharing your story and highlighting the importance of saving 💖

Not heard that song, but the title is fitting as they eat snacks, like kids :)

Growing up my parents didn't have a lot of money and they still struggle financially and I help out as much as I can but since I've moved out last year I have my own expenses now but they do the best they can for my siblings. I always spent a lot of time with my mom and I've seen her make delicious meals out of every single ingredient she had in the house when it got difficult and because of her I learned to do the same and learned to buy items on sale and compare prices on similar items but with different prices since it's sometimes the brand that seems to be the only difference. She taught me a lot and I'll always be grateful for my mom and everything I've learned from her I really admire my mom for being so strong and smart. I agree with your answer about money I feel the same way you do I just couldn't really put it into words but you did and I'll always remember that. I love your videos I learn so much from your videos, watching your videos relaxes me and gives me a different perspective on life but anyways take care of yourselves! 💕

Ahhhhh my mom does the same! She makes a lot of food with just a few ingredients and everybody loves her meals. She also taught me to compare prices and buy itens on sale... This skills I'm bringing to my own family and I'm so thankful for having such an amazing mom

i’m 16 and you have changed my perception on life. You’re an incredible woman and i really look up to you💗

Even in a video about money and budgeting you manage to make it the most peaceful and calming thing I have seen all day long. Thank you for this content, it warms my heart every time

I really love that you still think of helping your family while u already have your own, many people think that when they start a family of their own they shouldn’t help their siblings and parents anymore, this is very thoughtful of you.

YESS, finally a video that will keep my mind off the things that are happening at the moment, love you so much Rhea, stay safe ❤️

I lost my father and my brother has abandoned me with my mother..Yeas There us a different between my and your stories but pain is same.. And this is the time that I am really thinking. I wish I had enough money ... I Am happy that you have overcome this situation ..morover..Please pray for me so I can Overvcome the situation as well..

Rhea, after watching this video, I just sat quietly. I admire you and wish you and your family health, love and blessings! ❤️

This is too pure. Spending time with your husband or partner is such a big mood and a blessing.

"Whatever happened in our life someday it will be all right." this words gives us courage and right now the World is suffering hopefully everything will be fine upcoming day. Thank you!!!

YAY!!! I get so excited when Rhea updates!!

I can relate to this,back in 2017 when I came here I always make a budget and save up for my upcoming tuition fee. I only worked for 28 hours a week as a student. Now that I got a job, I am still budgeting and saving up for my future 😊 Me living here in Japan made me independent and very cautious with my money and spending it wisely. Nice video btw ♥️

You have such a beautiful heart, I’ll keep supporting you and your little family. May you always be showered with blessings ❤️ love from japan too!

Such a heartwarming story. I did the samething with travel savings from my earnings. My husband and I have made it to 36 countries in 16 years. Travel is a passion I have to teach me about people and culture.

No I think in Japan they have been putting fruits and vegetables in plastic for decades. They aren't doing it for the Coronavirus. They have high standard of personal and public hygiene.

There exists a plastic that's biodegradable from corn. Maybe businesses should look into that.

Why counting the bill makes me so teary😭 And thank you for being so transparent explaining about money also bits of your past. So proud of you🤗

You are exceptionally very disciplined, practical & organized person for your age. I admire you for being there for your family helping them w: their financial needs. Your grandmother raised you well👏

I hadn't a rich childhood... When I was little my mom had to struggle in order to provide us food and a bed to sleep. I have 2 older brothers. I used to wear second-hand clothes and my mom was so grateful for me to have something to wear. Nowadays I'm unemployed and living with my savings until my husband and I get a job, and I'm so thankful for having food and a home. Living is so expensive! We have electricity, gas, water bills... And food is definitely the most expensive thing we have to pay... But I hope better days are coming for us!

you know what, actually today is my payday 😂 so when i got the notif i was like ' is Rhea wanna tell me something?'

I especially love the crunch sound of the bread 😍 and it's amazing to see a youtuber video break down their monthly budget! I don't think I've seen this much - honestly it's quite rare that anyone be this open with their finances - ever in a public platform. Wishing you all the best! This is my first comment and I've decided to subscribe too! Thank you for such enjoyable videos! (PS: I really really love the loft space! and all the food videos!)

This video made my day, gave me the chance to reflect on my past and move forward. Thank you for posting it.

11:20 💜 thank you for sharing your story with us. I enjoy your content and how peaceful your videos are.

So beautiful. It makes me reevaluate everything. What is really important in life? Your childhood story broke my heart. Look how far you've come in life,thank goodness for grandma. You are an inspiration Rhea. Keep up the good work. 💐💗

OMG Rhea’s story about her and her siblings going out all day collecting junk and her brother only getting a penny for it made me cry!

New subscriber here, I tried to stifle my tears and emotions as she was narrating her life as a youngster. I can relate to it. I hope to see more good vibes and wake-up moments as to what's really important in our lives. In this fast-paced world, it's easy to be lost of the things that are really important. Thanks, Rhea! Looking forward to your videos 💖😉

Oh, Rhea. You deserve all that you have now and more. This is like watching a story unfold and have a happy ending, but it's real life and it keeps going and I know there are more wonderful things waiting for you along the way. ❤️ Your videos always give me so much nostalgia and longing for Japan, maybe I'll start a return-to-Japan coin bank 😄 stay safe and healthy, Rhea and James! 🧡

I am so proud of you for being responsible, sticking to a budget, and planning ahead. Hard work does pay off. Things do get better. If more people did as you, the world would be a better place. And, I must put on my mother hat and hope you took out your entire pay just to show how to budget for a month and that you don't do it all the time - I worry about unsavory people might see this.

I'm an Australian and live in rural Victoria. I have been to Japan twice. First time with a friend and we backpacked around there for two weeks, and the second time was with my husband and two teenage sons. We want to come back again, and eventually I want to live in Japan and teach English. I love Japan. I am a Buddhist (although not a very good one) and the two times I was in Japan I felt like i was home. I can feel tears in my eyes even thinking about Japan. I love it there so much. I am going to watch all of your videos, subscribe to your channel, sit through all of the ads because I love your country and watching your channel makes me love it and miss it even more, and, it also just fills me with so much peace. I hope you channel brings you all the happiness you desire.

It is easy to say that money can’t buy happiness or everything but it is true that everything even happiness comes through money

I watch your video every morning while i’m getting ready for work .. and your new video notification came in right now !! So happy ! 🥰

Okey first of all, i must Say that im in love with your videos, your life is so quiet and calm, i feel a really odd happiness when i watch your life style and i want to thank you so much, i really appreciate the effort that you make editing those vids, so, thank you!! Pd: Your husband seems so nice. Pd2: Stay safe!!!

I wasn't expecting to cry today. Rhea, your story is beautiful

Great respect to you and your family for working through all your challenges in life with diligence and never giving up willpower and hope. May your family prosper and always be happy.❤️

Beautiful and lovely!!! RHEA this video really moved me, the meaning with your videos aren't just interesting to watch, they are so emotional and have such a deep and beautiful meaning! You are by far the most logical and interesting KZreadr I've ever watched and will continue to watch and support you!! Love all ur inspiring videos!!! Keep up the good work!! Love it!!

I believe you don't need money to be happy but you need money to be content. You need money to make sure you don't go to bed cold or hungry, that you can make sure your needs and those of your family are cared for. Money isn't required to be happy and love one another though.

Ay, lloré con su historia. Realmente me hace muy feliz saber que ahora está mucho mejor. Es una persona maravillosa, me encantaría poder llegar a cumplir mis metas como ella. Mucho cariño y éxito. Amo tus vídeos.

I love that you share stuff like this with us! I am a big fan of you and James.

I just found your channel and I'm so inspired. I'm still a young adult new to the work life, and I still have trouble managing money. I grew up privileged, so I think I take money for granted most of the time, but I've also experienced tough times when I was alone in the city when I only ate once a day because I spent money for leisure, and I am unable to provide any support to my siblings. Now I know I can't lean on my parents for money anymore and I am more eager to spend money wisely, especially now because me and my partner are planning our future together. Thank you for this video and your story ☺️💕 I hope you and your family are happy and safe.

God Bless you both. You are both trying and you know you just can't spend the way you used to. Be thankful you can eat Three Meals a Day most are lucky they can eat one. I save by bringing Lunch to work each day then I eat Breakfast early but when I get to the Office, I have My Coffee. On Friday which is Payday I get up extra early do My Bill Payments on My Tablet, write down the Confirmation Number then transfer that information on My Excel Spreadsheet. Also do this "Test" Save every Receipt you spent and then record it on an Excel Spreadsheet, at the end of the month calculate what you "made" as opposed to what you spent you'll see a big difference trust me. You'll both make it, if you want it badly enough and trust me people will respect you and admire you for it.

I love how you are still thinking about your whole family and spend for them monthly, I do that too with my allowance, and it's satisfying, the more i give, the more i received, may you and your whole family have happy lives always 😊

This is like David Ramsey's envelope system. I admire you for being so diligent with your budget. It's amazing to learn of people's childhood and how it affects their relationship to money. Because knowingly or unknowingly our childhood shares how we interact and view money. I do belief that having financial stablity does gave you a certain freedom in life. You have more choices and less stress about the security of food, housing and education etc. But that's up to a certain point. That is why my grandmother taught me that a woman should always be able to make her own money and always have some saving put aside for yourself.

Inspirational to say the least. You're definitely heading in the right direction. My wife and I long ago, 20 plus years, were in the same humble situation. We appreciate everything we own now. We teach our two kids the importance of budgeting money and keeping your feet on the ground. Stay humble, life changes in a blink of an eye. Money comes and goes. Thank you for taking the time to post this, and good luck to you and your love ones. Best, Family of Four, from Southern California!

This was in my YT recommendations and I was so emotional while reading your story so I subscribed to support you and your dreams!!
