I completely curated my Facebook feed to budgeting groups, saving money, recipes and meal planning. I’m hyper focused on paying off debt, saving and cooking meals at home. The groups I joined are super motivating and I learn something new each time I check my feed. I tune out the “noise” of other people and unfollowed shopping websites. So far I’ve paid $1,423.00 towards my car loan and it’s so rewarding to be responsible and see the balance go down. Even though I’m paying down on debt I save 10% of my net pay on fun things too, so I have a healthy balance to live my life too. Great video! 🎉

Thank you for this upload! As a 30 year old millennial, I'm not too far from these attitudes of the GEN Z girls. I've actually seen some millennials adopting their attitudes when it comes to money in an effort to not feel old and keep up with the times. But as a single mom, who also Lives with two elderly parents, who are on a fixed income, I do not have the luxury of living that carefree TikTok-able life. Deep down inside of course I would love a man to come and pull out his wallet to fund my life, and my families life. But that is not my reality. My reality is putting on scrubs at 5AM to go care for my patients. And then saving and planning for our yearly family vacation. This upload has helped me release some of the guilt and shame behind not being "ThatGirl" who gets flown out and all expense paid trips. It's OK to be practical and build wealth for the future while balancing day-to-day quality of life. Thank you for these episodes, they really encourage me.

As a millennial, I’m thinking about what it must be like to be a young adult having grown up watching so many shootings happen with essentially no response from society, watching climate change before my eyes with no effective response from society. And maybe I would also feel kind of nihilistic about the future. I would still advise young people to seek their own way to make a living because of the drastic consequences of being financially trapped in an abusive relationship.

I feel like this "live in the now" movement comes from those who have a very privileged background. If you've come from a lower class you have an idea what can happen if you dont plan for your future self. Living in borderline poverty as an older person is not fun, especially if you can't retire. As women we can't take for granted the rights we had to fight for. We don't want to go back to the days where we have to depend on a man to live. As much as it gets looked down upon I am glad to be millennial woman who maybe worked a little too hard at times. It helped me build resilience and I rather know what I am capable of.

Honestly, I don't believe most young people actually care about it. They worry about it when it happens. They think for a couple weeks if there is a minor way in which they can participate to make it better, and then... Unless you're in social warrior circles, you go about your life. You can not single handedly change "climate change", animal cruelty, politics and its effects, etc. All you can personally do is learn all sides to an issue yourself, actually get educated with a degree and the coming power to do something with it, learn the skills and gather the knowledge you need, always stay critical, never just follow one side or the other, always reevaluate what you think you know and then by just being a good person, and by being a useful person to society, you will raise the standard of society as a whole, and change the mean direction of society as a whole. Somebody straight outta high school thinking they know the world isn't gonna change sht. Build yourself first. Make yourself capable and strong. Most 20-something are now realizing this, and that's exactly the right thing to do. It's the younger ones that are stuck between " Nihilism and over compensating by putting your hands frantically into every issue you see, as if drowning" Edit: I'm not saying people shouldn't care. I'm saying we financially, emotionally, and psychologically cannot afford to care intensity about everything. We don't feel the drag yet when we are still in our teens, but in your twenties the latest you realize that carrying the world on your shoulders is not sustainable for your health. So you go through a phase where you don't care about anything, you're burnt out, then you feel bad for not caring and start caring half assedly where you're still hurt by the problems but no longer up to date. Then you take another break where you don't talk about politics etc. And only then do you start seeing the world with fresh eyes, and more life experience, and that's when you start from scratch, but the foundation of your beliefs will hopefully be more stable and less trend oriented. Your twenties and thirties are transformative years. Don't hold your self back by carrying the world on your shoulders. *start carrying yourself first* . Then your family, then your community, etc.

1) It's impossible to work hard enough or smart enough to make a billion dollars in a FAIR way. Either you started on third base or you were insanely lucky. No one works a million times harder than everyone else. No one "deserves" to be a billionaire. 2) Billionaires create poverty by their very existence. It's not possible to accumulate that much wealth without creating more poverty. More poverty than they will ever be able to "solve" through philanthropy or "effective altruism" or whatever the latest grift is. Today's billionaires are proportionally wealthier than any human in history. That's not from hard work or ingenuity, that's from exploitation, purposeful or not. Not just millions of people in your own country but millions more need to suffer and die for rock bottom wages in environmental hell holes to make someone a billionaire. And that's just the direct effects. With climate change there will be even more destruction. Double entry book keeping isn't just a financial thing. When you extract a billion dollars worth of minerals and carbon from the earth that's a debt to nature. It doesn't come from thin air. If working people don't settle the score, mother nature will. It would be better for all of us if we beat her to the punch. Edit: let the record show that Chelsea mentioned the guillotines first ;)

"Retiring at 30 is relatable" is not what she said. That's very much taking it out of context. She said one person's version of "rich" may be to retire at 30 *and live in an AirStream* (an obvious reference to those FIRE people who quit their jobs to live in a van--they're "retired" young but not living especially glamorously), whereas someone else's version may be that they work until their 60s but they're able to retire with more luxuries. And she's right: Most of us *do* want to be some version of "rich." Wealth-hoarding is one thing, but I don't know anyone who doesn't dream of being in a financial position of always being able to meet their needs without worrying about it. Which comes right back to the point that "rich" means different things to different people.

As a gen z you both helped me improving on money decision as a 20+ what was taught both family and school wise its not indepth more on Gate keeping unlike the financial diet and Rich bff while being a fashion student also young adult for moving to a good life than my family and peers who have bad financial advice, mindset ,methods etc

Great one!

I have no problem with them not wanting to work or being stay at home anything is fine but not reliable and not a retirement plan. Everything is a legal situation, including marriage and money. You want to learn about compound interest and start as early as possible. Do not stop working without having a plan, a backup plan as in a financial plan. Most women do not leave unhealthy, abusive relationships due to money. Keep this conversation going as there is a reason many women end up in poverty and many children end up in poverty also. Most of us realize this is a harsh upbringing with limited choices. The salesman is not your friend, most of us realize they are promoting but not everyone is as transparent. Scents are subjective. You only hear about those things if that is the sort of thing you follow. I have lived in Asia over 25 years and that mindset is accurate, who am I if we are not okay? Giving money to family is an issue in the US also. Life has changed, we all need a one year emergency fund and to be much more financially savvy regardless of where we come from and education. Many schools are including financial literacy-push for this even younger.

Or learn to live with less and be ready to lose everything in the stock market, in a climate change disaster, in a divorce. Having a plan is great but no guarantee so being able to bounce back and live minimally is important too. Not everyone is able to start saving when they're young. You have to have some privilege to have the means to invest. It is a good idea of course.

This is such an interesting conversation

So much to relate to here!!!! Taking a gap year was never an option, not after high school and not after college. I worked hard to land a high paying job after college, while watching others take endless trips and “find themselves” I am now funding a gap year sinking fund in two years to do whatever I want before transitioning to another job. Taking back time and making time to relax is the ultimate luxury, I feel so incredible rich when I make time for my little hot yoga classes

The most resentful finance channel in the game!

The Colab I’ve been DYING to see! I love watching both you and Vivian!!

I was the type who got into "a bit of everything" in college - not literally but it sure looked like it because I did a lot of different things seriously. Someone asked how I "did it all" - my answer was "not all at once". Logistically that was the fact, but holistically I find the concept stands outside of college life. There's a time to save, to splurge, to grind, to vacation… usually there's chronological precedence between things, but yeah with moderation I'm able to walk through a lot more doors outside my staple routine

I can't work 14 hours a day and I'm 35

Whaaaaaat! TFD AND My Rich BFF!! How have the stars aligned for me to be able to experience this?!! I'm so excited for this video!

I hope one day America heals from its own misery. We deserve to be happy. Be kind to one another. You never know what they may be going through

Love the hot take!

Congrats on your 10th year of writing!!❤❤

I screamed when I saw vivianne!! My rich bff ❤❤❤❤ yassss 🎉🎉🎉

Man here ✌🏻 Thank you for the episode!

I cackled at 59:37. They are indeed coming, babe. LMAO. Love Chelsea

The irony of your Quince ad in the middle of discussing promotions and endorsements on social media...

1) The add coming in during that part of the convo is NOT ironic, it’s timely. 2) Perhaps you don’t know: TFD makes most of their revenue from sponsorships/adds. There is ALWAYS a sponsor on Financial Confessions, this is their business model. 3) B & J has tried to be a “better” company. Are they perfect, no. Enough with the gate keeping. You can make the point that ONE of the original founders of B&J has come out in support of x,y,z if you feel that strongly about it. I happen to agree his position is absurd. Do you think the factory workers at B&J have anything to do with that? There is such a thing as nuance, and striving to constantly be/do better. Binary thinking helps no one. Are you not exhausted by the “culture wars”?

She means her personal social media. TFD has always run ads, sponsorships, endorsements, etc. It's her personal accounts that she avoids promoting brands on.

I just thought it was ironic considering just how badly it shows sweat. That was so distracting to look at!

I started treating friends and family to be nice on occasion and now it's expected to the point that I feel abused... Not sure that rich doesn't mean that you should be paying for ppl or exploited... Very hard to correct that behavior once established... The oh she makes money so she can pay or oh I don't owe her or I make less... The boundaries are hard I just don't see or avoid those ppl

As long as it's specified before you go to restaurant, that yr only paying for yourself, it's a lot easier to hold the boundary because you can choose to still go to the meal or not.

4:38 where is this viral video? What is it called? I couldn't find it on her channel.

I love Quince

28:20 I like how your guest declares if they got free stuff from a sponsor but you don’t.

I lobe it when she says “you guyses”. Lol. ☮️💟

I don't understand this preoccupation with capping rich people's income (and I'm someone who lived way below poverty line until age 14, & still lives paycheck to paycheck). Don't waste your intellectual ability on such questions. Instead, use your time to meditate on the solutions to the growing wealth gap! Does it not have a great deal to do with national central banking practices & failed legislative policies??

Dear editor: what would you think about more reaction/response shots to make it seem like more of an interaction rather than just one person talking for a bit and then the other person talking a bit. love the video! Content is 👌🏽

Aww, two of my favs ❤

I really appreciate this narrative and who it comes from. When this message is delivered from a man. It seams that he is met with a perception of weakness and feminism, when its nothing more then financial literacy.

I am so afraid of the word rich, this is resonating with me in so many ways...

Chelsea! I watch you, and almost all my KZread/personal growth/finance channels are woman lead! But I totally recognise I’m not the average man in that regard. Hate the patriarchy and toxic masculinity. I truly adore TFD and that it’s female lead. Such wisdom!!!

Who has time to study every brand they buy from??? I try, but the idea that you MUST feels very time/money privileged.

I love this Collab!

My two favorite creators talking to each other and I’m somehow only finding it 5 months later???

Starbucks placement. Irony of an ad when talking about to not be pulled in by influencers ads.

Peace. I actually enjoyed.

46:40 I admire Chelsea for acknowledging she has a chip on her shoulder. When TFD shifted from personal finance to society and culture impact I checked out a little bit. I care about the impact of money, I just had to get my things in order first.

She is a toxic, embittered, jealous person. Doesn’t make all of her arguments wrong, but she is dysfunctional and should not be on the internet talking.

Are we just going to skim over how she got her FIRST JOB as a Wall Street stock trader???

My daughter should watch this.

Vivian is PREACHING at the end!

Chelsea saying “I am not a child of immigrants” was an unexpected send 😂

✌🏾 1 man here 😂 love the content

More people need to “like” the video.

50 million cap makes the most sense to me.

everytime a 30 year old on this channel calls herself old, she should be gently shocked.

People tend to forget how far on the young end of the spectrum 30 still is in our “youth” obsessed culture. I’m 32 now and feel healthier than I was at any point in my 20s and still feel every bit as youthful.

As soon as that 1B was mentioned, I was like "Huh, what a good way to illustrate the 'money allows mental changes to appear in people,' point." With 1 BILLION dollars you could spend $2,739.73/day $114.16/hr (if you never slept) for *1,000 years* (if you found a way to live that long) and still have some left over. How can anyone even begin formulating an argument that any person could "need" or "deserve" that much money?
