I had similar feelings, I work part time ATM because of Covid so things are tight but even when I had an office job and made decent but not great money (I think I made average for my area but also I live in one of the most expensive cities in UK, after London), I still could barely put any money aside. Now, I come from a modest background so I can make do with very little money. I also live with my partner who still has a good job but have single friends who are struggling a bit - it's so much easier to pay your bills if they're split between two people! But the video really put me off Lucy. I have only been a subscriber for 8-9 months but I am not sure if I want to stay subscribed.
Am I the only one who finds it difficult to take money videos seriously from 'influencers' ??? posting one picture of a bracelet on your wrist earns you more than I make in 6 months. Thanks for your advice though
I felt sick watching that video. One month she earned double...oh wow. And now she's hoping to buy a house in the coming months. Amazing.
I sound bitter I know, but I work myself to the bone. It doesn't come down to having priorities with spending because trust me mine are in the right place. I just get so peeved especially since she posted about 'not feeling it' and being in an awakening phase so her content is stagnant and coming when she gets inspired again.
I also remembered the video she made last year, about feeling left behind seeing how other influencers are buying homes and doing them up, and she was still house sharing with her friend and it really made me shake with rage. You're in your twenties, hun, you have all the time in the world to save up money and buy. And if comparing yourself to those other influencers is making you feel bad about yourself, maybe you should purge who you're following.
Rant over. Interested to see what others here think.
