Anyone else watch Emily Ewing? I think shes struggling financially. She seems to be living on her own now and is a FT youtuber afaik. She keeps doing I am not buying groceries unless i have to videos which the more she does the more its coming across like she has no money, In the latest one she cut her own hair badly. I know she moved back with her parents at one point but she's back on her own now in what seems to be a huge place from the size of the kitchen (yes I do know US homes tend to be larger). I have never heard her mention a job but then she doesn't post that much to bring in income that way.Almost all her videos are sponsored usually by Thrive which is another way for getting free food.And she says shes not sleeping because of a situation she wishes was better.
I hope i'm wrong cos she seems nice enough
Yes and I mentioned the same issues you are mentioning here before. She seems so nice and has such a passion and love for animals and I find her very endearing.
I enjoy her videos, have been watching her for years by now but I agree, ever since her roommate moved out she's struggling. On top of that she also got a dog. And im not judging her or anything but pets are so expensive, I wonder if this was a good decision for her to do. I have a feeling she's not good with money, she often buys soooo much food and stuff. When she does these clear out/tidying up/eating what i have etc. videos im always so SHOCKED at how much stuff she has hoarded since the last time. Like why buy so much stuff? And i know she gets some stuff gifted/sponsored but most of the things she did buy herself because it was on clearance/sale/she wanted it/*vibes*. For one person she buys way and way too much stuff to eat before it goes bad, also because she frequently visits her family too for a few days. I think she could make a lot healthier financial decisions.
I have a feeling this is her only income (+ things like tiktok/ig maybe), so I understand she's struggling.
She seems very "my pace" and a little bit slow you know? I think she would struggle quite a bit in a normal work setting, so I get that she prefers doing whatever she wants but at some point you have to really sit there and think about it if this is something you can manage long term. I don't understand why she doesn't get a part time job on the side, Im sure there's something she can do. There are always people who need a cleaner or someone to walk their dogs. Just a few hours a week would maybe help financially.
I have been cutting my own hair for 10-15 years now, it's definitely a learning curve. First time I tried wasn't the best work but if you keep doing it you'll get a lot better at it. I can cut my own hair really well now and it has saved me an insane amount of money. I hope she will keep giving it a try and doesn't feel embarrassed about it because it's not something to be ashamed off.
Same goes with her financial struggles, definitely not something to feel ashamed off, a lot of us are struggling out there. Maybe if she shares a bit about it she can find some emotional support online, maybe get some advice etc.
I hope she finds her way, she seems so lovely and I truly wish her the best.
