Shout out to CNBC that actually makes these super fun Millennial Money episodes! I find it so interesting seeing how other people spend their money. I would like to make a more formal budget that helps me get rid of that anxious feeling whenever I log into my bank account-is this a follow up video you guys would be interested in?

Aw Monica, all I can think of when watching this is how upset you were a couple years back…I think you were sitting in your car crying about not having a clear passion/path you wanted to pursue in life. It’s so heartwarming to see you living so well after seeing you down and feeling so directionless just a few short years ago. Keep up the good work, girl. Also loved when you said “this pant”…lol idk why it made me lol. 😂 Also also, loved the puppy, this is the first I’ve seen the little one & hope to see some more of that little cutie. Ok sorry this is a little much, k bye. 😅

Is this a similar video Shelby made? I love it. Most people can't make $500k in 10 years. I have a lot of respect for you for being so successful. I'm trying to reach the goal of becoming a millionaire.

Yes! Shelby had so much fun making it, she suggested I try it 😂

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2014 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly Too but have been putting a lot into Schd the past few months. I don’t know if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

I have to say, it’s so interesting and refreshing to see someone that I really admire and who inspires me also shares the same struggles with money. When you talked about never having made a budget or opening your bank account and being anxious, I felt that.

I LOVED THIS!! So fun to hear what you enjoyed spending money on versus not. And your after tax monthly income is very comfortable. That's my goal in the next year or two.. Such a lovely and balanced lifestyle...well shot too thanks for making this!

I love how open and honest you are. Thanks for sharing!

Love this and hope transparent you were. Awesome video!!

Love the transparency. Loads of other bloated videos on youtube that are boiled down to humble ragging with no tangible information. Really inspirational!

I’m envious of how much money you make, but I have watched how much you’ve worked for what you have. You also don’t seem to take it for granted how well off you are. Thank you for this transparency :)

MONICA!! I love the raw honesty in this video, i wish people did more stuff like this

I, for one, cannot wait to see that finished airstream! Love this video and your honesty about “measuring up” to your sister - so relatable! It’s all about perspective!

Well done Monica. What a self discovery project this must have been for you, especially doing it after Shelby did. It's nice to be able to count your blessings and see where you are and why you love your life, even if it's not the same as your siblings, I deal with the same thing exactly. I'm a grateful girl too xo

Monica - this is one of the best videos I've watched of yours. It's been really fun watching you, and your channel, grow into what you and it are today! Bravo, boss lady!

Great video! Honest, transparent and a lot of good info!

Love this. I will always appreciate the transparency from your videos.

I love this video. Yours and Shelby's are so interesting. Thank you for always being so transparent! Fav youtubers ever

How can you be stressed out about living on $500k/year?

I just love your storytelling skills!!!

I was ready to watch a video about someone out of touch, but you seem so down-to-earth and smart about money. Proud of you!

You and your sister, showing whats possible.❤

I loved this!! Well done! ❤

Her monthly budget for wine is more than my monthly budget for food.

loooooooved this video! You and Shelby are such big inspirations🤗

I love these kinds of videos omg do more pls ☺️

Great video Monica! Appreciate your candor. I always feel like budget videos underestimate expenses. I'm not surprised by your $400 monthly wine cost. That's easily done over the course of a month if you buy 2-3 bottles as well as hit a few happy hours with friends.

I love how transparent this was- your monthly income is basically what my husband and I make in a year… we might make a little more but it’s crazy to see the lifestyle differences

She’s worth 80-130k tops to me don’t worry I value you and your family more then hers 😂. People that do social media don’t contribute to the world as a blue collar job does.

I work in finance and I’d definitely recommend still checking your reoccurring charges quarterly! Even if you report your card missing- some companies keep your cc information and although the card number itself changes, the account remains opened/the same so they are able to continue billing. I’d recommend calling your bank and requesting to turn off reoccurring charges which is an added measure to assure they are completely restricted from going in and billing your credit card! You can actually skip reporting the card missing and just stop reoccurring charges! A bonus is you won’t have to wait for a new card too!

I thought Monica just became a real estate agent 2 years ago but she said she has been making $500k for the last 4 years? I'm surprised she even makes $250k from real estate in only 2 years. With only 2 years of experience and no previous network she already shot up to be within the top 1% of real estate agents in the entire country. Something not adding up for me.

I love this, it's inspiring and relatable in the sense of no matter how much money we make, having control over our finances matter. I think Monica does a good job overall. I love the transparency.

I like the whole overview and the honesty about income, purchases and expenses. As a current 34 years old I cannot relate at all. One month's wages is more than my annual income. I have no chances of owning a property in the UK. It is interesting to know more about others' people lifestyles but it can also be very overwhelming if someone tries to compare themselves to it.

CNBC profiled a couple several years back, together they had about $500k in income and WERE STILL PAYING OFF STUDENT LOANS. I rolled my eyes when I saw that.

My guilty pleasures are books and streaming content. I spent roughly a $100 month on those and I would say they’re worth it. My rent covers all my living needs so I’m in a good place and I consider myself fortunate.

Wow! Thanks for expanding me, that’s what I want. $500k/year sounds possible now that I know you do it, would love to hear more about your tactical steps to get there. All the best!

this is a simple yet a creative type of video.

Where did you get your blazers in this video? I love them!

I'm moving out into my first apartment alone in Appleton, Wisconsin. Nothing compared to Seattle or Palm Springs, but it's a small metro city. Just recently they added Bird electric scooters to the community which I thought was cool. At 23 years old I also spend a lot of money too! I'm not worried about paying bills or anything but more concerned about investing for my future, like if I want to purchase a home in 5-10 years and for unexpected health emergencies. I'm still navigating that.

Get ready for the Graham comment video. He loves these

I think because I have watched so many millennial money videos this one seemed so funny because you included so many “Monica does this” segments

When it comes to shacking up, i have a 3 year limit. There's some things you won't find out about your significant other until you start living with them so 3 years is fine. But once you hit 3 years shacked up, you should be able to decide if the person you are living with is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m.

I'm really worried about survival after retirement.
