Subbed to your dad's Instagram a couple of weeks ago actually! Thanks so much for this informative video. I love your dad - such an awesome guy. Your whole family is awesome and after binge watching many of your vlogs I feel I know you all!! So happy that you got the jaw surgery you so desperately needed to have done. Glad that the Palm Springs house worked out in the long run. We just did a major kitchen reno and I feel your pain! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your whole family!!

You're such an inspiration as well Shelby, I look forward to your videos all the time... There's just something about you that so 😍💕 This video inspires me a lot.

I love this video. PLEASE make this a series. It is so much more helpful to hear "Boomers" being transparent about their money, what jobs they have or had, what they are living off of now, etc. than it is to know what "Millenials" are making/spending. While I am always curious how my peers are managing their finances, we NEED more retired people talking openly about how they got to retirement and how they manage their money now that they are retired. Show us the way, Boomers, lol.

I really enjoyed the honesty of this video. I married to a teacher in King county and we've been fortunate enough to make good financial decisions similar to your dad's. I wish this video was longer. I think the military benefits can't be ignored. That can really set a family up for success long-term. I would love to see more of your dad in videos

This is one of my favorite videos I've seen in a while! It is super interesting to hear about someone's financial experience, especially with your dad's humble background as a teacher. It was so honest and transparent. I respect it!!

Dad Church here weighing in, clarification on budget is that yes my wife has income that was not included, and the fun budget amounts actually include groceries, personal spending, etc., basically everything except mortgage and utilities. It can vary because some months may actually include air fares, trips, special occasions, so hope that makes sense.

Don't worry it's normal, I lived at home until 30 and it meant I was able to buy a place with my sister. I actually loved living with my parents and kinda miss it.

I love your dad! He seems really laid back. And it's obvious that he's proud of his kids!

My husband is a teacher and we just bought our first house which needs a little fixing. We're in our mid twenties and have a little baby. I see a lot of ourselves in your parents' story. It was great to watch!

LOVE THIS! The documentary style you’re going for is spot on! Great job Shelby and very informative

Such a great video from a Boomers perspective. Your Dad seems so grounded and gives such sage advice especially at the end. I moved back with my parents at the age of 33 until 37 to save $$$ and finally bought my first home. Best decision ever : )

this is amazing! the production/quality of this is 10x what CNBC does and you are just one person. love to see it!!! your dad is seriously just the warmest sweetest guy ever!!!

I think this is my favorite video of yours. They being said at 44 I’m likely not your target demographic but what a neat Dad you have. He made some fantastic financial decisions and continues to make them. I see where you and your sister learned a lot of great lessons from him. That car for $13,500 wow what a find. Smart to flip the house on Queen Anne. Did they end up moving out of Federal Way for that awesome view? I have family in Stanwood - Camano. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Shelby, your dad is so great! He reminds me so much of my own dad - practical, gives the best advice, and is always there to lend a helping hand. I love that he’s still subbing in high schools.

I feel like there's such a big stigma talking about money for the older generations. My boomer grandparents were very closed off about money with their Gen X kids, even tho they were investing and pretty well off. It caused my parents to never take money seriously and get them into trouble financially. I love that you showed your dad's point of view and it opens the door for families to have these important conversations regarding wealth.

Really like this video Shelby! Think you would do a series on this from different income levels, different retirement ages, cities, diversity, etc?

The fact that I grew up watching you starting in middle school and I am now 22 just goes to show how amazing of a creator you are! You grew with your followers which many creators struggle with in my opinion, but you've continued to present us with content that is enjoyable yet relatable and knowledgeable.

Loved this video! I love watching your dad, he's so cool and laid back and even though the video was about your dad it gave such a nice overview of your childhood as well!

I’m 29 years old and I make $100k/year. You’d think that I’d be able to get a decent house at that salary but it’s an extreme struggle in this day and age as we all know. Right now I’m living in SoCal. I love the city but I know it’s not sustainable and there’s no way I’d be able to afford a house here. I realize I’ll need to relocate to a more affordable and IMO less desirable city if I really want to buy. Not only that, I’m realizing as a single person it is even more unattainable. It’s unfortunate that it feels like if I ever want to buy, I’d need a spouse that is also employed full time. I have a lot of doubts about my future and it is really disheartening how expensive and unattainable things have gotten. I can’t imagine bringing kids into this mess. And I’m in a good place financially, I can’t imagine how hard it is for people living on minimum wage..

Shelby. I am a quite regular watcher of yours, yet I must admit I mostly watch your vlogs. But this is by far the most interesting and entertaining video of yours in my opinion. I love it, the great layout, background music is very good, your dad has great video personality and the points he is making are thought through and kept in touch with current world.

I'm not going to lie, Shelby's videos weren't on my watch later list for the past few months but I actually loved this video! I love seeing someone else's perspective on life and your dad is a cool person! Plus the editing was on point!

Your dad is a sweetheart!!! Loved learning about your family’s past. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. Would always love more videos with/of dad’s church 🤍🤍🤍

I love this feature Shelby! Your dad is cool, knowledgeable and swems very approachable.

Honestly, that advice was truly heartwarming and encouraging. It wouldn't be fair for people to judge mine or anyone's situation without fully knowing it, but myself and many other people in their twenties are still struggling to afford being able to move out. The expenses of living is ridiculous in a lot of places, and depending where you work and how little you might make, there are just a lot of reasons. It is really freaking tough now days to get set up..

Moving back home is good advice, I did it at the start of the pandemic and have zero regrets. I feel the biggest struggle is actually finding sustained employment. The longest job I had only lasted 5 years due to the company getting bought out and laying everyone off. My Mom just retired after 35 years at one place, I have never had that luxury.

Loved this video, your dad seems like such a lovely man, full of great advice. Like my own dad’s stories, it is always so interesting to hear about how much they used to get paid, how much a home once cost and the financial decisions that lead them to where they are today. Thank you for sharing 💕

Just found your channel from the streamer xQc (he was watching a video about people's jobs in New York), and this interview was really interesting I liked it. As someone who just started college recently a lot of what your dad said near the end of the video was really encouraging and I appreciated what he had to say. Thanks for the nice video!

I've been following you a couple years and now I see why you're so popular. You're just a regular kid with regular parents that love you unconditionally. Bravo. Those down home qualities translate well in the way you live your life and are sharing it with others now. Keep up the good work! Lastly - I know we don't live in a perfect world and there is lots of challenges, however, if we could change one thing in America I think it would be for the government to structure incentives for families to stick together. We need more families that are like yours.

Found this doing a random search for Seattle. I don’t know why but I watched this video from beginning to end without skipping which is rare for me. I think Michael just gives off this chill vibe that I find refreshing. Stuff like this needs excellent editing to flow and stay engaging- great job!

This was really well done, I enjoyed it. Your dad is so nice, I love how he said his kids are welcome to move back home whenever they need to. You're really lucky to have him. I would have loved to know what his plans for the future are. Also noticed that he still has a mortgage even though he's retired, probably cause they got a nicer place? I'm just really scared to still have a mortgage when I have no income coming in. I know it's doable with savings and pension etc (or whatever you have in America) but I just want to have it well paid off by the time I retire and not have to worry about it.

Awesome vid! I found your channel through your random encounter from Shan’s vid. Really appreciate what your dad says at the last 27 seconds of the video. Pretty sure it’s safe to say that we feel this enormous amount of societal pressure to get out of the home at 18 a lot more now than back then because of the rise of social media. I left home again recently at 26, with my son and wife after finding out we’re expecting again. My wife and I were in a better position to leave home and we did. But there’s nothing wrong with being at mom or dads house. If I’m being honest I miss their presence sometimes or that feeling of knowing they were just there even if I wasn’t actively interacting with them. Something I’m sure many people miss once they leave. Luckily we chose to stay within a 5 mile radius so our parents aren’t too far away. Overall your dad was smart with his money and it shows. You don’t have to make hundreds of thousands or millions to live good, just educated with your money.

I absolutely loved what your dad had to say in the end. Life is different... (as a millennial). I appreciate hearing his perspective and appreciate that you shared his story.

Absolutely loved this and Dad Church!! He did such a great job and gave great advice. Well done to you both 😊

This is the best video in your library so far. For some reason I was riveted to the screen, hanging on to every word your dad stated. This is an interesting topic. If you present more boomers with similar stories, it would be an interesting series. Like House Hunters on HGTV, so interesting that people watch it over and over again.

Been so excited for this episode! My dad retired three years ago and in the Seattle area, my step mom just retired from teaching this year and my dads name is Mike also.

I really enjoyed this video Dad Church!!! I bet you're a great teach cause you're a great Dad!! Love you Shelby!!!

Interesting video Shelby and Mike. Great info on "what/how to" overview on life in general. I'm hoping to retire sometime in the next decade or so, but I won't stop working (as long as I'm able anyways). The few millennials I know today don't appear to grasp those things as most are "living for the now". Nothing wrong with that, except for not planning for the future...or leaving it up to "whatever happens" is a gamble...or maybe they just don't care about that? And it's all good. Just hope that it doesn't cause an economy collapse because no one planned for a "future".

Only add to this video that came to mind while watching, (from my viewpoint of course); working in other industries, (not for school districts), putting in overtime hours, could help ease a wage-earner through some stressful financial pinches. But the personal time infringement, (working O.T. hours), *can* have a negative impact on family life. Your video reminds me of a more predictable financial time, (excluding the 2006 to 2008 years). Those years represented the *more* predictable living days. Thanks, good video, like usual. 😊

I really liked this video! Your Dad has a great sense of humor talking about avocado toast and lattes lol. I would’ve liked to see a deeper dive into the rising cost of living (and how salaries haven’t kept pace) with regard to home buying today, just because it looks so different.

This was such a great video. I didn't realize your dad is 66 years old. He looks great for his age! Hope you do more videos like this in the future.

This video is amazing!! I love the honesty in this video. Hearing from the older generation is very important and we have a lot to learn from them!!!

I really enjoyed this video of your dad. I didn't want it to end. Loved the ending. 😊

I definitely agree with what your dad said about living at home! I lived at home until my husband and I got married. It allowed us to save a lot before we got married. And although Covid was difficult to maneuver, having a smaller wedding saved us ALOT of money! That money will be going towards a down payment for our house in the future.

Great Work Shelby, Graham Stephan finally got His much anticipated Boomer Bucks Video
