Aja Dang needs to be a vocal leader for the Asian American community. She's setting a great example for young women like me living in America. Thank you Aja Dang.

I would like to see a video on how you find work as a freelancer

Love this video idea, fun to see how much things cost in LA. Impressed that you don't buy take away coffee!

Every time I visit LA I always forget about the high costs of parking. It can really eat away at your spending. I'm a snacker as well. I'll generally eat left overs to help save a few extra bucks.

TruFinancials parking is seriously the worst. The funny thing is that Beverly Hills has the cheapest parking in LA lol!

Yesss, Aja! Get those budget sponsors, honey! Your finances series is always so refreshing, so this was a great partnership. ❤️❤️

Me Me yep I spend close to $600 a year on my students. Not only on supplies, but clothes and food. I also provide them with money for things like field trips.

100% in love with these videos Aja! Thank you for being so open and honest with your budget, super refreshing and inspiring x

Hi Aja! I really enjoy watching your budget vids. They have made me conscious about my spending. Thanks so much!

The thing I learned from this video, is that I love my chiropractor even more. He charges me $25, because he does this as a side job now. It use to be free with medical insurance, then he retired but still took me in. Once you find a good chiropractor, it's hard to find another good one. Took me 15 years to replace my other good chiropractor. It's like trying to find a good dentist.

Aja Too bad you live far away from me, I could hook you up. :) My wife started going to him and she likes him too. I also love that he doesn't pressure you to come in like some of my previous chiropractors.

Thanks for motivating me to get my SHIT together before I *HAVE* to REALLY get my SHIT together. Being mindful and proactive about how my role as a consumer affects me mentally is a difficult task. Lots of habits to break.

It's so cool how you genuinely help the shelter animals rather than just saying it even though you are on a budget and it's not cheap to take in all these animals and take care of them

I'd definitely spend my $100 on Amazon buying books for my family. We love trips to the book store and reading together to become more knowledgeable.

i so love that you do these videos. its incredible!

I love these types of vids from you aja. Safe travels!

love this type of vlog! would def love to see another!

Substituting vegan mayo in place of regular mayo is the safest vegan substitution u can make. Regular mayo is just oil and egg yolks. Vegan mayo is essentially just oil (and natural flavoring). The egg yolks don't impart much flavor. I totally encourage u to try that dip recipe with vegan mayo. I'm pretty confident u wouldn't be able to tell any difference.

Oooo looooved this version of your money diaries, Aja! It was super interesting seeing spendings/investments broken down from a monthly budget to how things are actually spent realistically throughout the week. I agree that when you see how much you've spent when the week goes on, it'll make you think twice on spending on other things. Thank you for sharing!!!

I loved this. I hope you turn it into a series.

Love these vlogs!!! Please keep doing them!

This was really good! Definitely do more of these types of videos!

This is even better than what I eat in a day!

Awesome! I'm really enjoying the budgeting series so far. I think you did a great job on your spending this week. Sometimes you have to make a mistake to learn from it, happens to everyone. Keep it up!

Hi Aja, I love these videos!

i love this video its a vlog and a semi financial thing all in one

Yes more money vids always. I live in Orange County and find your financial journey super relatable ❤️

I love you for doing videos like this. And you're looking radiant. I know I haven't been as up-to-date as I normally am with you, but that just means I'm hustling hard. Always in support of practical, useful, relatable content like this. xoxo

I really liked this video! I hope you make more of these in the future! I know it's difficult to spend money only on​ the things that we really need, but it's not impossible :)

I could definitely use this for some medical supplies I’ve been holding off on. For my sister who’s battling leukemia. 💕

Moving out to LA soon. I would use it to definitely stock up on some essentials for the new apartment!

So sweet of you to help foster that dog! 😭 I’d spend the gift card on household goods for the move at the end of the year!

More of these types of videos please!

Loved this video! do more aja(:

I already have an ebates account! Ebates is soooo helpful. If I had $100, I'd used it to help me with grocery shopping or new clothes for this upcoming semester! I'm a struggling college student so the last thing I need is to worry about food and clothes.

Love ❤️ to see these weekly spends! Found them very interesting though I don’t spend what you spend in a week at all or even half of that to be honest!

Aww Wylder’s is where I rescued my furry best friend, Mochi! Good for you for doing something so kind and opening your home to that cutie! Sending you love and hugs, and hoping to run into you one of these days in LA!

I'm moving to new town to start a new chapter. Will definitely need to save every cent to furnish the new place!

You inspire me to foster doggies one day. I lost my dog of 16 years recently, so I don’t feel emotionally ready. Plus I wanna be more financially stable. I’m finally going to start teaching this August. Yay!

wow - that would be amazing! Fostering is the perfect situation for you bc the rescue/shelter will give you all the supplies so (ideally) you won't have to spend any money. Congrats on the job!

Love your budget videos. And I saw you paid off a big chunk of your debt! Congratulations! I am lucky to not know what a student loan is, but can imagine how much stress that puts on a person. When I was a student I was going out with my friends to presentations of toilets and floor tiles for food and drinks only, as we could not afford “real” going out.

Really like this vlog style video. It helps to put in prospective our spending habits. I would buy a pair of summer sandles and some shoes for my kiddos with the $100 Ebates gift card.

I would use it to add on to my baby step 1. Yesss girl! 🙌🏽

I am just now moving out to go to college in another town, since I don't have enough money to purchase/rent a moving van, I have to buy all my furniture, silverware and toiletries. The $100 would be a blessing since I currently only have enough for my rent, deposit and groceries. But good luck to everyone and I hope y'all are having a nice summer! (:

GURLLL. I'mma buy the whole 9 items that I have saved in my cart but never had to balls to checkout... amongst those are cat coasters, gua sha, pusheen mug and reusable produce bags!

$100 would be so important for my school supplies that I need for the upcoming fall college semester!!

Doing your financial journey marathon 😍

Yes makes more if these videos please 😊

Things like driving in LA traffic and parking make me double think moving to LA. I really liked this video Aja- and I love your monthly budget videos too. Currently using your budget spreadsheet.

you're so pretty!

Loved this format and I love eBates! With $100, I would buy some home decor items because I just moved and some summer clothes if I had any $$ left over. Thanks for the give away 😊

I love ebates!!! I try to get that double discount when I use groupon. Im probably gonna use the $100 for Amazon though

Hi Aja! I love your videos! I’m moving to Portland to finally pursue a career in social work. I have many interviews coming up and $100 would be truly grateful to buy an interview outfit at Macy’s!

I love this type of video! I hope you continue it as a series. If I had $100, I would put it towards my student loans. I'm still in school, so I don't have to pay them back yet, but I'm trying to pay the interest off so that less money gets capitalized when it's time to pay them back 🙃

Thanks for sharing your personal spending. I try my best to write my spending in a journal...but sometimes forget. I love ebates! I have $$ and it really helps me shop for my family. Can you imagine shopping with a 6 yr old? $100 would support needs for my little one and moi!

Idk why but the $100 gift card made me excited about being able to finally buy ink! LOL Ink is so expensive and I've been procrastinating on doing that for months. Thanks for the giveaway Aja!

Stuff for my new apartment before grad school:)

Would love to see a grocery haul at Whole Foods.

I’ve never seen an ebates giveaway! Thank you! We found out we are 12 wks pregnant with our first kiddo after failed IVF. $100 would go toward baby gear..I’ll always remember Aja and Ebates for it.

I’d use the $100 for my family of 6 (who’s about to be a family of 7)!!! Can’t wait to sign up for ebates now!

I've only started using ebates coz I mostly shop on Amazon as well but I live in Guam and the shipping is always ridiculously high 😥 that $100 giveaway could really help once I buy supplies for school this year.

I’m a broke graduate student. Enough said. lol. I’m moving into a new place and I would by lamps and other home goods.

i love you!

Ive never seen a more perfect face without makeup talking about some "i wish i had makeup on right now"

OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! more more more more more!!!!!! if i had $100 i would buy haircare like deep conditioning treatments and hair oil. love ya

Im a student at UCSD, so I would spend the $100 on a new backpack, laptop case, and new work shoes!

I just started my new job so probably work clothes!

I would use the $100 for face moisturizer and face mask. Beauty products for people with sensitive skin is not cheap :)

I need to buy more dog food too on ebates!

We are in the process of moving apartments and honestly I would combine the $100 with my own money to replace the dresser my mom has - it is a few years old and the drawers are all broken and the rails just drop - she doesn’t want to spend money on new furniture so I would just buy that for her.

I would use the $100 on a crib for my baby due November 💙

Just recently resigned from my job to complete a 640 hour unpaid internship for the rest of the year, the last step to completing my Occupational Therapy Assisting program! Exciting but also scary... $100 would help to keep me properly dressed in scrubs for this next step in my life!

Omgeeee. Winning $100 from ebates would be great. My husband and I started budgeting so we can start socking money away for a down payment on a house. I’d use the money I won to buy toiletries and household items! 😂 #imsoboring

Try the “just mayo” brand vegan mayo at Whole Foods if you haven’t already. It tastes just like real mayo
