00:00:00.000 same thing when people say they're broke and i just like look at their nails and i'm like your
00:00:03.280 nails are done what up guys welcome to my reaction series so i often talk about how influencers are
00:00:09.280 kind of the worst breed of people and we really do deserve the reputation we have okay we really do
00:00:15.360 um so now here's a woman who's going to talk about how og influencers who made 30k a month
00:00:21.760 are broke now i actually have a lot of insight into this topic because i was one of the first
00:00:27.120 not first but in the first few years of tick tock um i had a really big following i had almost a
00:00:32.640 million followers on there before my account got deleted and um and i did see a lot of people have
00:00:39.440 money issues along the road that at one point were making a lot of money so she's gonna break it down
00:00:44.160 see that video of that girl asking how all the og influence did y'all see that video of that girl
00:00:48.080 asking how all the og influencers were making 30 to 50 000 a month and now they're broke and e-begging
00:00:53.520 on tick tock like what happened to all that money so as somebody who accumulated over 2.5 million
00:00:59.360 subscribers on youtube back in 2015 and i was literally living in la so i witnessed a lot of
00:01:04.800 this i'm gonna give you guys the breakdown on what happened with that money okay so one so one thing that
00:01:11.360 happens is i mean it's kind of how people go broke in general you spend too much money like more money
00:01:16.640 than you have like if you see people flying private a lot they tend to go broke um flying all over the
00:01:23.760 country that adds up uh because a lot of people you know they make a lot of money on youtube and then
00:01:29.680 you know they don't do that forever for me it was uh business expenses like high cost production that's
00:01:37.680 what really ate me was not being smart about hire like hiring too many people i wish i blew money on
00:01:44.720 like a sports car or something i can't speak for everybody obviously but just what i've seen
00:01:49.280 when i moved out there i thought i was pushing it with my two thousand dollar one bedroom apartment
00:01:53.680 but i had people living in the same building just at the top yeah rent costs that'll eat up your money
00:01:59.360 or i was on the third floor but they were at the top floor paying twenty thousand dollars a month
00:02:04.640 then i had some friends that lived in mansions just for the sole purpose of wanting to be able to
00:02:08.000 throw parties and have people come over and make content in there literally paying people's yearly
00:02:12.320 salaries like thirty forty thousand dollars a month just to rent this huge house so for those
00:02:17.040 of you that were also wondering like why do a lot of these influencers have big houses but they're
00:02:20.320 empty not even joking to get some good quality furniture in there it's going to cost you like
00:02:24.320 half a million dollars and don't even get me started on their uber ego it's like people reach
00:02:28.720 a certain amount of followers and all of a sudden they can't use uber x yeah we can't pull up to this
00:02:32.800 party in a pre yeah no people again they get used to a certain lifestyle that they can't afford
00:02:38.800 so a lot like uber eats uber in general not taking public transport that costs a lot of money
00:02:45.600 um amazon these days um plastic surgeries cost a lot of money yes order uber black why would we spend
00:02:54.160 250 to pull up to a party when we could spend 1999 half the cars that you see these people whipping
00:02:59.680 around are rentals and they're spending like 300 500 a day just to whip it around and try to act
00:03:04.880 like there's somebody they're not babe just because you hit 200k doesn't mean you need to
00:03:08.320 go and get a c300 for mercedes like it's okay you can drive your cars off toyota maybe one out of
00:03:14.560 ten of my friends actually cooked their meals at home everybody was constantly yes oh my gosh yes
00:03:20.720 yes yes yes going out to eat or hiring private chefs when you start making all this money a lot of people
00:03:25.840 tend to forget that it might stop one day so they're still going on these expensive vacations
00:03:30.560 buying all this designer even if it's starting to dwindle yeah i am so glad i've never had a
00:03:35.280 designer habit all my clothes are like amazon target i don't care i'm one point because i'm
00:03:41.760 tall i might get custom clothes made just because stuff never really fits me right but yeah literally
00:03:48.000 got used to that lifestyle girl when i tell you the second i had enough money to buy a property
00:03:52.480 i bought one i could only tell so many story times and do so many get ready with me's before people
00:03:56.560 fucking lose interest okay i had to be realistic about it but i could see how most 21 year olds are
00:04:01.440 not thinking about that more or less a lot of these people ran through their money trying to look cool
00:04:05.600 that's it and now they're begging for galaxies and cowboy hats yep and they'll just keep making the same
00:04:11.520 mistakes over and over um influencers are going broke they're not able to pay their bills they're not
00:04:16.960 able to pay their mortgages and people are mad at them people are mad at them and i honestly a part of
00:04:21.120 me i think it's justifiable right to be like you essentially squandered away millions of dollars
00:04:27.040 and you have like nothing to show for it there's been so many you know there's basic skills as a
00:04:33.200 person that young people don't have and they're getting all this money so the ability to balance
00:04:39.120 a budget uh the ability to make their own food the ability to fix their own stuff and remember there's
00:04:44.720 a lot of predatory people that are just looking to overcharge these people because they know they have
00:04:49.440 money um and the influencers are kind of dumb we're just not the smartest group of people
00:04:54.720 coming out recently talking about like i don't have that much money and i can't afford this and like
00:04:58.800 they went in on a house that was way too much money or maybe like at a time when you were like i can
00:05:04.480 afford this payment that doesn't mean you're gonna be able to afford that payment forever especially
00:05:09.040 when you're working in something so finicky as like influencing in social media and things like
00:05:14.160 that but i feel like this is the perfect example of that most people don't have money problems they
00:05:20.400 have spending problems and so many people are living paycheck to paycheck on all of the income
00:05:25.840 scales people are living paycheck to paycheck and it is crazy it is absolutely crazy but a lot of the
00:05:31.280 people that are like throwing hate their way and being like honestly i don't care it's their fault
00:05:35.680 they squandered away all this money they made millions of dollars and now they're broke like
00:05:40.000 that's not my problem i get it and it's valid but also like let's look at your finances because i
00:05:45.360 bet you money a lot of these people if we went through all of their finances and saw like what
00:05:50.960 their budget should be and not like a tight budget because i did this myself i went through and i was
00:05:55.600 like what are all my necessities what are here most people aren't good with money i think our generation
00:06:01.040 um just didn't have a lot of life skills what would be like because we kind of live in a service
00:06:05.440 economy where there's uber eats you can i mean i know people without cars nowadays like i know people
00:06:10.480 that don't have licenses good allowance for me that's like reasonable blah blah blah and i went
00:06:15.040 through and then i was like where has all this extra money been going because it's not all hitting my
00:06:19.920 savings account it's just like gone and i know that a lot of you are like that too where if we went
00:06:24.160 through your finances there would be so much money on account especially women yeah wanted for where i'd be
00:06:29.680 like where it's the same thing when people say they're broke and i just like look at their nails
00:06:32.960 and i'm like your nails are done did this go where's all this extra money and you just like
00:06:37.280 because we have spending problems we have huge spending problems doesn't matter how much you make
00:06:43.360 if you don't get that together if you don't learn how to spend money and spend it well and be like
00:06:48.480 mindful about your money it does not matter how much money you make that's why there's they say
00:06:53.680 call it like the lottery curse it's not a curse winning the lottery would be such a blessing it's a curse
00:06:58.080 because if you don't know how to manage your money and someone gives you a ton of money
00:07:03.440 you still don't know how to manage that money and you will just blow it you're gonna blow it just
00:07:08.480 like a lot of these influencers have blown their money it's insane it's really sad but it's like
00:07:14.240 what more do you need to see like a lot of people are like oh yeah like i can it's whatever i don't
00:07:18.720 even make that much money so who cares but if i started making a lot of money then i would start but
00:07:22.400 no you need to start no yeah no she's actually right about that um if you have bad spending habits
00:07:28.240 before you make money you're gonna have the same habits after those habits now you need
00:07:32.640 to start those habits now and then hopefully god will and you start making more money you already
00:07:39.040 have those habits then you'll feel the impact of making that money right you'll see the difference
00:07:43.920 that makes it in your life verse just pay anyways guys um anyways yeah no this is something i really
00:07:52.880 did see when i was on tick tock doing youtube you see a lot of people they overspend they don't know
00:07:58.800 what to do with all the money they get and a lot especially in my industry a lot of people get banned
00:08:03.280 and kicked off of stuff so yeah it does not last forever and i can say that firsthand make sure you
