How to get that "Luxury Lifestyle" WITHOUT going BROKE! 

I quit my job during high pandemic in summer 2020, and have been working for myself full time, make the same amount. Not more just YET! But definitely equal. And projecting a big increase in revenue in 2022. ☺️☺️☺️

I left my job and got a 30% increase at the next job. Loyalty to companies doesn’t pay.

I was working in the pharmaceutical field as a researcher for a small company. I was getting paid wayyyy under the market value. I asked my employer for a $2k increase in salary and was denied. I started looking for a new job that day. I now work at a bigger pharmaceutical company and increase my salary $50k !!! I’m making 6 figures at 24. TAKE THE RISK

Non toxic relationships is not a luxury. Its a MUST!!

Yes! Give yourself a raise by getting a new job. I went from 50k to 80k on two years and I would do it again. No loyalty to companies that don’t see your value.

I left my job at entry level position. I was gone a few months and they offered me a raise and promotion to come back. It was wonderful. Now I can afford my first house.

I definitely had the salary jump happen. My old job was not compensating for my Masters, so I found one that required a Master's, and got a 20k jump.

I got 2 job offers, one was not that exciting but the money was great, the other was super exciting but the money was not so good, I got the balls to explain to them my situation and managed to negotiate a whole 10k from the original salary they were offering. Lesson: shoot your shot!

I quit my job right when Covid started tearing through the world and things were shutting down. I moved from a big food service company to the agricultural industry. I stayed in finance and since my switch in March of 2020 my pay has almost doubled without a degree. That held me back at my last job although they knew I could do the work they never gave it to me but my new company saw my potential and have on numerous occasions have talked about my no degree and how I completely understand how to do the job. My first week I was reconciling all kinds of accounts and honestly I couldn’t be happier with my switch. My pay now would’ve taken me years to reach at my old employer and I would’ve met the max pay now I have no max pay and working on my degree in finance.

If you are in Tech, it’s important you change jobs regularly to upskill yourself as well as to make money.. my last job change resulted in a £25k increase .. The minimum pay rise I have had from role change is £11k and most is £25k..Also never take the first offer, negotiate! Negotiate!…it’s time to be brave Ladies…

It's so true that we want a luxury lifestyle without going broke. The amount of times I've thought about that Chanel bag but then felt bad about it because I know my money can be spent on better things is BEYOND insane! 😩🤣

Don't be afraid of second hand! Second hand leather, second hand bags, even second hand designer clothes for a very reasonable price. Afraid of germs? That's what dry cleaners are for! I'm in designer clothes every day and nobody knows that not a stitch is brand new ;)

Thank you for being unapologetic about enjoying luxury. I want to see it. It's beautiful and the energy is incredible ✨️

The salary jump happened to my dad. He'd asked for a raise and was denied, and then he got headhunted by an ex-colleagure who offered him £10k. Suddenly his workplace was offering him £5k to stay and my dad was like "Where was this when I asked? lol byeeeee"

Inner peace and self love is the real bag! People flaunt luxuries on insta..but be unhappy once they post that picture and dont even know themselves and be lost in real life. Its not that deep

My grandma only takes cash as gifts for every occasion! She’s a smart woman

I am 35, mom of 3. I was a social worker for years and last year I decided to quit my job and start a business school to change my life, work in what I am passionate about and of course, earn more money. Thanks for this wonderful video.

I was offered a job in a similar role. I told my employer and I got a 10K pay rise because they didn’t want me to leave.

Yesssss! A spending plan (budget) is KEY. Also building these habits regardless of income level is so important!

I have a maintenance account for myself. In that account I set aside funds for my wants. Purchasing land (real estate) is my luxury.

Yasss! Jumped jobs last month and got a 30% raise! You can often make more by jumping ship (to another ship!) than by negotiating a raise in your current place.

I just ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU, Patricia! My daughter is a Makeup Artist and I send ALL of your wealth building videos to her ! I just want to say THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND LIFTING OUR QUEEN SISTERS! YOU are a true inspiration and a POSITIVE FORCE! Continued Blessings and Much Love! Happy Holidays! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm thankful you've spoken on your luxury journey. Be aware of the leaches and haters, commenting on your lifestyle. I've taken a huge pay cut since looking after my mum, paying off debts that affect the household. I'm in the place to build myself back-up financially and socially. I'm trying to be more aligned with my budget and live my best baddie luxury life. I know why I don't have a lot of money at the end of the month, I can change that.

Yes! I used to work as an assistant for a therapy office and gained a lot of debt paying for my masters. I changed my profession last year. Found a university that pays my tuition AND pays me to train and gain professional experience. The switch from clinical psychology to neuroscience will absolutely show a increase in my income, continually, for the years to come! I’m glad I took that chance. Truly blessed. Know that this is possible for all of us!

I agree I moved to a new company exact same role but paid 14k more per annum. Quickest way to increase your salary drastically is by moving companies rather than waiting for your annual minimal pay rise which is counteracted by inflation anyway.

I have unintentionally left jobs (lay offs) but it's always been for the better. The crazy thing is it used to be looked down upon as in 'you can't keep a job' as if anyone has full control over their position and the company. Currently changing industry and starting a business, thank you Patricia for these great pointers!

(Industry sales + commission) I told my direct manager what I wanted to make. She told me it was impossible. I quit my job and moved to another company. Increased my base salary by 26k usd.

I love your blouse, the color is so rich ❤️❤️

Great video!! Especially for the new year! Also love the dramatic satin blouse!

I quit my job in 2018 and went to being self employed. Starting a company is no child’s play but it’s always worth it when you doing what you love,months are not the same especially in the staring off stages but it’s grown from hardly getting any customers to an actual number. Also I am just grateful for the peace it gives me cause I hated my previous job and my life was just full of rumble from the toxic environment. I can’t wait to take over over Africa someday and also offering more Masterclasses to people all over the world on how to directly buy from China suppliers and making a living out of it. Excited for the future

I got offered a new job with no promo and 5k more - didn’t take it bc where I am currently provides me better experiences for growth. But my friend recently got a new job which was a promo and 10k increase, so it really does work lol

I have left jobs in my career and earned over $50k in a salary increase. I can’t speak for other countries but in the US the average pay raise is only 3-5%. So you’re better off leaving

I feel this, I quit my job in October and was feeling down, then I got a job making almost $8 more 2 months later (:

Whoever reads this comment! Sending you great vibrations and wish you the best in all you do!

Yes budgeting is so important! It's sticking to my budget that I struggle with 😅

LOVED this video. I definitely followed your second channel, I can't believe this is my first time hearing about it!! 😭 Thank you so much for giving us so much value, queen!

You can truly be boujee on a budget ✨ if you make provisions you can have it.

Side note Patricia's makeup is on point!

Your content just gets me going & inspired!

Patricia thanks for this video seeing you live the life smartly has always been motivating and you don't have to feel bad about living your version of a luxurious life.

lol Patricia really saw my bank account and said let me help her 😭😭😭

I quit my job of 5 years in August and increased my salary by 6k

You're so savvy and knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff. I'm taking notes every time. Thank you so much for sharing this precious info with us 💕

My current job doesn’t pay enough and I’m not valued there. I’m a single parent of a 3yr old. I have a MBA and BA but I honestly want to start a business. I’m just not sure how to get started.

Now that you mention it, yes - I've received a salary increase every time I've changed jobs. Even when it's been a lateral move.

You can also rent pieces that you are only going to wear once or twice for a big fraction of the price.

Leaving is the best way to get a raise. In the times that I negotiated a raise at the same company, a 10% raise came with 50% more work. Sometimes it's better to get a title bump than a pay bump so the next job can have an even higher starting salary.

My idea of luxury is lime dressing in a certain way that makes you look presentable at a budget and that those items are year round and not so much fast fashion.

I literally doubled my salary in 2021 by changing jobs, and this year I plan to produce a proposal for £15k more. Take the leap! Further yourself... The goal is stack, build my own business and quit. These companies don't care about us.

This is such a great video because it really gives realistic perspective to the topic of how luxury can be afforded. It provides ways to look at your money and how to be in better control of it, if needed😃😄. On the topic of leaving your job, it's really important to make a plan, say 6 mths/1 year prior to...how much money will you need to keep you going until you start generating income again. Thanks hon 😃 💕

Yesss, I made the industry move and I doubled my salary. So excited!

Oh m’y god. You’ve read my mind. I have had such a negative relationship with money and was so “woke” that I was actually affecting how I was taking care of myself. I think it is reasonable ok to spend money on yourself while being financially smart. I wish I had this sense in my 20’s, I would have been way ahead. But better late than never! Happy holidays!!

‌Inflation is killing my budget and my salary. I can't invest and it seems like I will need to sell a part of my portfolio to keep my head above the water this year. ‌

This rust reddish brown looks AMAZING on you

I clicked on this thinking this was on The Break platform so the little shoutout to it confused me😂😂😂

Yep so true! I’m a career coach and some of my clients have landed $30,000+ more with their new jobs so definitely possible. 👏🏾

this video was amazing thank you patricia, every time i come back to your videos im never disappointed. Been subscribed for years and years now and always for good reason

Okay I’m obsessed with ur top 🥺🖤

“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”

I left the UK and went to Dubai and now I make 3 times my salary 🙃 ...the world is so big if u r single, I will say take a chance...don't be scared.

This video is sooo heartwarming! Thank you soo much for this advice, as a young person, this advice is AMAZING and exactly what I needed to hear!!

I don’t usually leave comments BUT on “3. Changing job/role”, I grabbed the chance to move roles in the same company, and even though I really wanted the role, I made it really clear to my now manager that I was happy in my old role, but for the the jump to the new role to be worth it I’ll need a higher salary, especially coz I knew that with some guidance I could definitely perform well in the role. It was the best thing I could do at the time financially- I’m speaking into my near future I can find a way for a passive income. Thank you Patricia for this video!! Xx

Thank you for the clearco info! I am a doctor who specialises in black and ethnic skin. I've just started my skincare line called BAME skincare to treat acne, dark marks, Ingrown hairs etc. The hardest part is growing the team. The products sell themselves. What is the best way to recruit team members or affiliates? Xxx

Thank You so much for this video! A video we didn’t know we needed

During the pandemic I started at 66k at a job I didn’t like. I jumped jobs 4 times and now I’m at 140k. Quit the job and get what you want.

This is the quickest RU-vid notified me. Nice topic Pat 👍🏾

It’s such a great video !! The video that we need, thank you Patricia 👌🏾

I’m a 15 year old teenager, I really want to have this when I am older. Thanks for having the respect to share your way of building up to this✨✨

Hello Patricia, Thank you for your great content, as usual. You always talk about different stream of incomes, can you talk about the marketing aspect of business, especially for E.commerce. Thank you, you are such an inspiration.

I quit my dead end job of 5 years and I now make significantly more

Leaving my prior job for my current job was the best move I made in 4 years! DO IT!!!!

Thanks for the breakdown...wish I had your mentoring 40 yrs ago 🙀

I didn’t know you had another channel. I’m glad that you posted about it.

*Many believe in the major key to success is waking up early each an every day. Having a head start before everyone else and being one step ahead at all times and fully prepared, when others are still sleeping you are already awake working.*

You are so down to earth. Thank god for you Patricia. I wanted to contribute with the fact that changing your job in different or the same field can be a super boost in salary. Also If you seem to be heading back after trying something new out you might find yourself with little less salary but an negotiation about time or paid vacation that you didn’t seem to get earlier could now be offered to you. If you have the balls to ask for it ofcourse😉 I talked with the Union and they told me what salary to settle with and it turns out to be top dollar. What an upgrade❤️

This was very helpful! At the end, why did she say, "Or you might want to become a sugar baby?!" hahahaha

Luxury to me is being able to buy my time back and have full time help with the house and kids.

Ma'am that shirt is everything💕

I love your content so much 🥰

ok well done, I remember my parent home that they spend so much to build in other to meet their luxury life style, well that is not the reason i am here. Can anyone help me with a genuine investment platform?

Hi Patricia, can we get the details on the blouse?

I need to know where the top or dress you are wearing is from.

I love the rich color of your blouse. It is beautiful on you.

Saving for what l want makes me treasure it more.

You look so beautiful as always ❤️❤️

This video was so good! I’ve also experienced a salary jump by switching companies, same job.

Thanks for this Patricia!

I love this video really helpful Patricia x

I interviewed for a job in a different field and my current job countered with a better offer😉 $20k raise

Good to do some budgeting, enjoy luxury but avoid problems. Awesome video. Real down to earth 👍

I’m screaming 😭😭😭 I’m watching this video at 23:09 in bed, in the dark and I see myself in Patricia’s video!?😭😭😭 wow shoutout 😂 I love this woman😭😂
