Women with different salaries tell us what they feel guilty spending money on. Still haven’t subscribed to Glamour on RU-vid? ►► bit.ly/2gYlQqe Women of Different Salaries on Guilty Spending | Glamour
I had an 10 minute argument with myself in the grocery store today because I really wanted some strawberries but they were £2 and tbh that’s kinda a lot for such a small pack
Lol dude... You can just leave a Hi in the comments section and will still get hundreds of likes. Anyone who has been on RU-vid for quite sometime now knows who you are 😀😂 Keep hustling bro. Cheers
I feel guilty for spending any money - period. Perils of growing up poor, you can never shake the guilt no matter how much you may have. Sometimes I see others walk to an aisle and pickup something so effortlessly and here I am, doing the math and thinking if I “deserve” this. Given a choice, I wouldn’t be any other way. I don’t know how to. Maybe one day I will. Maybe :)
Hey it's worked well for me. Growing up in poverty gave me this value of money I would not have gotten elsewhere. Considering I'm now trying to save up to buy a house, it's serving me well so far!
I was totally like this in the beginning, but now I don't feel guilty as much. I just think about if I really need the product and looks for sales and clearances
Same! I grew up on thrift shops and hand me downs so now that im earning better dough for myself I still have that anxiety every time i purchase anything above thrift store price (clothes).
It has nothing to do with your income, if you know that you worked hard for that money and end up wasting it on stuff u dont need u will always feel a little bit guilty.
Even as a billionaire, you shoud always look at the price tag and see how much you're spending weekly. It's easier to run out of money than it is to earn it!
@@wumbo1536 do you have rats, though? My 500 sq ft studio apartments were all around $3,600. In Manhattan, but Brooklyn and Queens aren't that much cheaper.
Can you guys do a question about how these women got to where they are? I’ve been watching all the other videos and love them and really need motivation and ideas on what job I want.
I clicked on this to see what the careers were for the highest paid people. Would love to see ones where they are interviewed about how they got to where they were in their careers
You should check out "careers and personal finance by Khan academy" I've been bingeing all their videos recently! They go through a bunch of different careers in three part videos
Yeah no. $25k in NYC is barely enough to get you a cockroach invested room you need to share with roommates. Rent here is $2k/month for a clean 1bdrm apartment for reference.
If you live in NYC and have the usual expenses that go with that lifestyle, $300k isn't much. First, almost half goes to taxes because of the high state and city tax rate and higher fed bracket. Then, rent for a 1 bedroom is $5k or more. Kids usually go to private school and the good ones have annual tuition of 50k. Nannies for the younger kids aren't cheap. After those costs, there's nothing left for food, utilities, or anything else.
this doesnt really have anything to do with the topic of the video, but I love that in all of these types of videos you guys make, you show real diversity! It's great that you're showing every type of person can be at 20k level, or the 550k level.
I bought a dress last week because I wanted something nice for Thanksgiving, but I felt so guilty paying full price instead of waiting for it to go on sale. I had the money and I hadn't bought any new clothes for a couple of months, but it just felt wrong to be paying that much when, if I had started planning a bit sooner, I could've found something for less, or something worth more that had been marked down to the same price.
Alima G I went to a movie in NYC and it cost $20 per person just to get in and that was a cheap theater You go to AMC there forget about it It was like $35 per person then for concession traditional medium pop and popcorn it was another $25 so about $50 per person Where I live in Michigan I can get 2 movie tickets A 2 medium popcorn and 2 medium pops and 2 candies For $25 It’s crazy
In the Midwest is costs like $5-10 a ticket and then popcorn and a soda will end up costing $10 Luckily at my theater there are $5 Tuesdays and it comes with free popcorn so I will only end up spending like $10 (I try to go on Tuesdays and bring my own candy bc that would be another $5)
I buy about 100+ books a year, I buy quality/luxury* clothing items every now and then, like an $170 skirt or a $200 dress. I buy expensive makeup/skincare, I buy nespresso pods, etc. I am not rich at all, I have about 2k savings, but I just like buying things that enhance my every day quality of life - like, nice shoes, good coffee, quality makeup, new books, muji pens, organic food etc. It's just the way I prefer to live my life.
I have to admit it was a pleasure to watch mostly because of the actress who did it really well and I can easly believe that its their actuall salaries!
I just realized I feel no guilt on spending money. Never realized that until now. But it makes sense: I am very frugal. So, when I splash out, I do it...and don't look back.
I feel guilty about replacing stuff that I don't need to replace. Like, my old handbag is still technically usable, but it's got two big creases where I accidentally folded it over, so I'm looking for a more expensive bag that'll last longer. Also feel guilty about one off purchases that I know will break quickly, like the Japanese-style schoolbag I had for a year that has now broken. 20€ down the drain. Got myself a Kånken so that I won't have to throw it out or get a new bag when I'm in uni.
I feel guilty paying for a gym membership every month when I don’t even take advantage of it. And scared to pay the fee to stop the membership which is $60
I regret things I buy, but never guilty. Most guilty purchases are made with the knowledge that the purchase is a bad ideas as you’re making it. I just don’t do that.
Lol I make less than 20,000 a year. I feel guilty about everything I buy but I feel most guilty anytime I go out with my friends, which is pretty rare lol.
But it's a different standard of living maybe things are less expensive in Indonesia? I know when i visit Mexico i can afford a lot more than in the us
The economy is different. In North America it's typical to spend at least 1000$ a month on your rent or mortgage for your house- in some places it's a whole lot more per month. Food typically costs about 150$ a week for one to two people. My monthly bus pass in Canada is 125$ a month! Movie theatre tickets are 12$, and books cost about 20$ new. A dozen eggs can cost as cheap as 2$, or as much as 6$ for organic. What other items do you usually spend on? Reply and I will try to give you a north american price (I am Canadian, but am familiar with general prices).
It’s all about cost of living. If the cost of living is high in your area, then it’s proportional to(or close enough to it) how much you make. That’s why a lot of people who live in LA or NYC can travel a lot. The cost log living in those cities is much higher than those in other areas around the world, giving them more money.
But here in Mexico we are very low-paid, so rents are actually expensive for us. You can find departments for 900 dlls and aren´t even good, Mexico city is a bit overpriced
Feeling guilty about buying things is stupid. Either the item or service is worth the money to you or not. If it's not worth the money don't buy it. If it's worth the money to you there's no need to feel guilty.
It can be worth the money but better spent elsewhere. Or if you have debt, anything new feels selfish. Can always save more or give to charity more. And when you have children, all personal purchases have guilt attached.
I wish we could know the city/area of where these people live. $75,000 is a comfortable salary in most of the midwest and in a lot of rural places. However, in a major metropolitan area like San Francisco or New York City, you'd likely be struggling financially
I have learned that for almost anything you can buy, there is a cheaper version or a discount to be found. You just have to be creative. It is hard to make money stretch far enough though. :(
