Hi guys, here are my observations on Alyssa Lenore:
1. Alyssa definitely makes more money than Marco.
Marco tolerates her shopaholic/hoarding habits, because they do not treat their combined incomes as communal property yet, like many married couples with long term plans.
Marco feels that Alyssa can spend her own money and he doesn't have a say.
2. They are not in debt but are dumb for paying only a 5% ($20K) down payment for their house. The interest rate would be high.
It's a joke when she talks about how they saved up for a house.
3. Marco is definitely bothered by 2 things.
First, Alyssa's constant dissatisfaction and striving for an unattainable lifestyle in NYC.
Why can't you ever be happy with what we do have?! Which is a lot.
Yes, other influencers have nicer homes, so what?!
She should capitalize on her relatability.
Extravagant things can alienate viewers.
Second, Alyssa spends lavishly on herself and buys him very little.
If the roles were reversed, we would be calling the husband a stingy mole!
Alyssa is very stingy because she never gives her mom or Marco equally nice gifts.
I buy myself cashmere sweaters and I make sure that I buy equally or more expensive ones for my mother. She gave her sick mom a used/undesirable Hermes bag.
4. Marco merely tolerates her filming because it is very annoying & intrusive for people who are not into social media.
5. She got Wade for content.
A dog is a lot of work.
She is definitely impatient with Wade.
Also, she is so cheap that she doesn't pay for a dog hotel.
She just flings Wade on their families for free.
If they have kids, they will do the same.
6. Alyssa always wants to be the queen bee and is tight with her long-time underling, Alysha Yung. Christine Le is new to the bunch and should wise up and withdraw herself from the group.
There's definitely tension and lulls in their Paris video.
7. My final point is:
Alyssa carries Hermes and designer bags but uses a toilet from Glacier Bay!
The cheapest toilet line from Home Depot.
I don't think brands look at that favorably.

I do think she works hard and her videos are entertaining.
But she needs to have a more consistent lifestyle, so she doesn't look like another wannabe.
She also needs to be more transparent about her designer items.
There is nothing wrong with their house and cars. We can't all be super rich.
She received most of her designer items for free and then sells them for cash.
We know and it is OK, but less OK when she pretends otherwise.
I hope to see more here^^
