How a 20-Year-Old Stylist Making $40K in Downtown LA Spends Her Money | Money Tours | Glamour 

How are people criticizing her, all I can think of was "Wow she's only 20, already has a career she loves & is earning a lot for her age" She's doing really really goood!

At least she has a good attitude, she pays off her cc every month and is getting her student loans payed down. Plus she has a partner to split living expenses with.

Part of me wants to be critical of her spending, but then I remember that at 20 I was spending all of my money on weed and cheetos... nvm, you good

I think her spending money on clothes is perfectly reasonable considering that's part of her career....I don't think I'd see anyone mocking someone who worked in tech and spent their money on that lol

her apartment is basically an urban outfitters store

She does spend a lot on unnecessary things but she is young so it's understandable. She's doing fantastic for her age though, good for her.

went to school with her and shes always kept to herself and her friends seemed to like her, the school loved her too,

I'm 20, in my junior year at college, and just had to spend an hour contemplating how to move around money so i could buy a pizza for dinner

Shes really used her space well! Thats a tiny studio but shes made every inch count without cluttering it, giving it her own personal touch, and keeping it looking surprisingly good! Shes got a good eye

She's so organized and has really good taste in decor! She makes the space look clean, and have personal touches without clutter.

she’s out here answering to rude comments 😂 i love it 😂 hope you have a great future girl, you’re doing great! ❤️

I’m Molly and I’m 22 and I made $10k last year. This girl is living my dream

I wanna live a life where $60 sounds cheap

she seems so nice and is doing amazing for her age i mean most 20 year olds are still dependent on their parents which isnt a bad thing

Why do I feel like this is a parody

This young woman has a great attitude, is obviously working hard, and is very organized. She will go far! Very impressive. Wishing her and all the young people out there just starting out, all the very best! 🙏🏼💗

My son is 19, in college, earning zero, while 44 and only making $45k. This young lady is on fire! She has a wonderful career that she can grow into. And super mature. I’m sure her parents are proud of her. I love her interior decor. In time I’m sure she’ll be even more successful.

at first i was why does she look and sound so familiar..... duhh she was on project runway junior and i was rooting for her. but aw im glad shes living her best life

clearly there are other sources helping fund her life. like mom and dad or the bf. 40k a year doesn't get you eating out 90% of the time, Balenciaga, and Off White lol

She looks like such a nice person and wish her the absolute best

I like her style. However, Dave Ramsey would be outraged.

Nobody: Her: TARGET

y’all complaining about her buying “dumb things” can’t talk because I’m pretty sure everyone has made dumb purchases in their life

She seems very driven and ambitious and sweet! She has a cute sense of style and is doing great for someone so young!

She seems like shes enjoying life and has a good head on her shoulders. You do you, girl.

My takeaway: her and boyfriend have the same size feet?

She’s 6 years younger than me and I’m looking up to her...is that weird 😂😂

RU-vid TV is $50/month?! Lordy... lol

she also LOOKS like a stylist. she’s so prettyyyy

$40k in LA is a very scary thing

This chick looks like she’s 13. She got some good genes, she’s going to look young asf when she’s in her 50s.

Sis paid $176 for that knitting thing above the tv.....I can’t omg

Honestly i was kinda annoyed at her but then realized she’s 20 and that’s actually pretty good

This was interesting seeing the spending habits and lifestyle of a younger person. I wasn’t out of college yet when I was 20 but I guarantee I wasn’t thinking about savings! Good for her.

Dave Ramsey is fuming

She's doing great for herself at 20! The apartment is beautiful and you can tell she and her boyfriend are artistic, creative people. Great job, Glamour, for showing young women working hard to achieve their goals!

Does she have a boyfriend?

i‘d love to know what her 9-5 job is that she mentions several times. she seems very nice and down to earth!

40K-(fed tax + income tax) ~ $32850k. That's $2737/month - $1050 rent (split) - $500 eating out - $500 credit card - $52 candle (split) - $34 subscription (split) - (she said she rides uber) - (student loan) - (water bottle filter) - (clothes spending).....something aint adding up...her parents definitely supplying the money.

Honestly I respect her hustle. She’s young and has a full time job and living her best life. Kudos to her

700 credit score! Good for her. Many can’t say that especially in L.A.

Why is laser so expensive in America? I’m in Australia and I got ten sessions of laser hair removal (bikini and underarm) for like $240!

Is no one talking about the note her boyfriend left her on the fridge? Honestly so cute wow 😍😍

This girl has serious STYLE! For 20 years old she is KILLING IT. Heck, for anyone at any age to be living their best life and doing their dream job, paying down their debt and saving money, happy in a relationship, living in a charming and well decorated space etc etc.... i'd say she's doing better than 90% of Americans. Not to mention the fact that she's adorable AF. YOU GO GIRL!

It sounds like she got everything at a end of summer clearance sale at target with her boyfriend obviously

4:00 when I looked at the fridge it reminded me of when my mom use to tell me we have food at the house 😂

Her style reminds me of 13 going on 30 😂 it’s the hat, so 2000 😝

Being in your 20s, especially after graduating school can definitely be a tough transition. Sounds like she’s gotten better with her money and is hopefully growing!! ✨

I’m still a financial wreck in my 30’s so you go girl!

she spends so little on her credit card really. 300 average spend in a month is so good.

She is doing great for her age!

Loved this!

She's like a responsible Emma Chamberlain with good hygine😅

I commend her on being 20 and making $40k. I’m 21 and make roughly 20k this this year. We’re young and leading as we go and I’m getting more into saving and spending less

I'm so happy to see Molly Elizabeth in this interview! Hometown hero!

I personally love the fact that she said the candle is flavoured lemon lime... candles aren’t flavoured they are scented.

To be honest, I was also ready to criticize her. But like some other comments say, she's only 20. I don't know about you but I did not see that many people that age making 40k a year (most are still in college, which is another great investment). She is on track of making more money in the future. It's not like she's going to be living off 40k her whole entire life. Plus, she's a stylist, would you hire someone who only wears plaid shirts with jeans as a stylist? She is in the stage of where she would need to grow and learn about fashion. So buying brand items and going through trials and errors, learning to appreciate the items is part of her lesson.

I really like this video! The way you decorated your apartment is awesome!

This video was interesting and fun to watch! :)

Thanks you for sharing.

you’re telling me this was posted 3 minutes ago🤯early

her apartment is what i want to build in sims

Who else paused at 3:41 to be nosey and ready the board on the fridge? 😂

I'm so glad that they have started showing the faces of the people covered in the video!

She’s so proud of her space I love it 🤍

Love her style! As a stylist in the making I would love to do what she’s doing! Loved the video tbh

She looked so familiar and the entire first half of the episode I was trying to figure out why... duh she was on the project runway kids season! I loved watching that show so much and all the kids on the show were insanely talented and driven. Good for her!

Yess I LOVE Mahogany Teakwood! Also my favorite😊 I have it in a room spray as well

Wow at 20 ? thats great and so hapoy for her !! When i was 20 i was making half of what she makes lol 😂 you go girl 👏🏼

It's kinda interesting actually. I mean her stuff are pretty but after minute 5 I was like IM DONE lol.

I'd be so scared to depend on a bf to make rent. But I've also had bad experiences with it so

15 minute video to tour a studio apartment 😫 When I lived in a studio it took me 36 seconds to give my friends a tour of it... well played Glamour 🤙🏽

This 20 yr old has more sense then me! At 20 i was still burrowing money off my parents with no desire what so ever to do anything. I hope my daughter is this on to it at 20 as this young lady good on u.

She’s out there living her dream!!!

girllll your place is adorbs! i too want to move to LA so this is nice to see

I love content like this

$2000 for a 400 sq ft apt. Lord !

Sitting on my bed right now trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life . Lol

My favorite one so far! Enjoy life while you can and you are doing great so far 🥳

How does a 2,000 a month apartment in LA only have 100 in utilities!? Maybe there are more included in the rent??? My mind is boggled as I live in Ohio and it’s considered to be a ‘cheap’ state and I pay wayyyy more than that for electric alone

Molly!!! She was so good on Project runway juniors 😍😭

Early ganggg👏

Stop she said sometimes I’ll order out and bring it back in lmao love it

Me : 18 year old in first year dentistry Still have 6 years feeling broke

Im confused, $40,000 income and only $10k in student loans. Its math, even if you paid $500/mo or $1000 it can get paid of in less than 2 years. No, seriously. Just a small suggestion.

Girl, You are rocking life!

Looks amazing!💗

I was excited to see how she did it alone but there is a “boyfriend.” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Giiiirrrlllll if you read this just say hi! Everything about your life is goals!

These videos are like watching the National Geographic channel. You always choose the best subjects.

kudos to sis for putting herself out there, you have gr8 taste and i admire how you don't mind the shade and judgment

I live on 8 frogs, 6 whales and 100 dollers!

only thing is... has she never heard of candle day? buy those candles and stock up on the first saturday of december!!

The apartment is amazing, it all looks so good

ooh! I see that rare billie eilish vinyl in the background 6:35 you’re my typa girl!

Make a “how a lawyer spends his/her money” !!!

You should do this series with people who are ill/disabled. would be very interesting

In LA, there’s so many things one can do for FREE. And there’s tons of thrift stores you can use to furnish your apartment with

I’m 23 and I want to be her when I grow up

She just got roasted by Graham Stephan😂😂
