- Hi! I'm Aja Dang and today we're reacting to my very first budget video! I cannot believe it has been six years since I started my debt free journey and since then I've been able to pay off all my debt, fully fund and emergency fund, set and achieve financial goals and bought a house! It's really crazy to think that I used to believe all that was impossible for me to achieve. I guess all this to say, you CAN change your financial destiny!

Your videos directly led me into taking control of my finances after I started my career, and now I own my first condo. My parents were always super hush-hush about their finances so I literally knew NOTHING about saving and spending money when I stepped out into the real world! You are a woman talking about money (why is that so rare still?) and it gave me the confidence to know I can make money and spend it/save it wisely. Thank you Aja!
Congrats on your financial accomplishments!
I started my student loan debt payoff at the same time and I remember feeling so defeated about the loans I was going to take out for grad school. Finding your channel at the start of that meant the world to me. It kept me motivated each month to keep going and gave me a community of people with the same goals!
Thank you a million times over for starting this 🥺
I appreciate you!
You were one of the reasons I started budgeting and taking debt seriously. A lot has happened since then. Whew! Thank you!❤
Your budgets video literally keep me sane! I’ve learned so much from you and they are my favorites. I don’t miss one
Thank you!
Hi Aja,
You were the reason why I started sinking funds back in early 2020.
Love to hear that!!
You have come such a long way! I am so proud of you and you are such a major inspiration!
Watching your videos inspired me to start budgeting and tracking my expenses. Now I budget every month, I’m debt free, and I just bought my first home. Learning how to budget has has helped me take charge of my life and it’s incredible!
Your videos inspired so much of my own debt free journey. I’ll forever be grateful I came across your content when I did.
I love the way you reacted to this! There’s so much depth. I’ve been following your channel for so long that it’s so heartwarming to see what’s changed and what hasn’t :) Every video you come out with re-inspires and re-motivates me to get my shit together in ways I never thought of! Love you Aja!
Question: Aside from interest rates/principals, are there other major reasons to pay off “materialistic” loans (like for a car)? Or are the snowball/avalanche methods more important to consider?
Your first video totally helped me get better at my debt journey. Before you, I didn't understand the power of budgeting so thank you! Now, I'm in a lot more control of my finances and the way I approach it.
Thanks so much for this video, Aja. Seeing your progress and learning from your channel has helped me a lot!
You 100% inspired me! I share my journey on TikTok and always loved your transparency that keeps me inspired
Still looking amazing after six year! Can't wait to see more reaction videos.
You really do look the same! Beautiful!
I remember this first video so well! Loved watching your review of it!
Loved it, you are such an inspiration!
I started doing budget videos with my real numbers in 2016 - still do...I didn't discover you until long after. So I think that lots of people were doing them...the algorithm just doesn't pick everyone up.
I am so grateful for you sharing your journey, you have helped me so much. Thank you❤
You are very inspiring! I’ve followed you for along time!!!
I'm student debt free from the OG spreadsheet and the budget videos. Thank you again!!
You should do some sort of 5 years of budgeting video like a what I have learned from 5 years of budgeting. Sticking with it etc
Good idea!
This was a fun one to watch! Love the reflection 🫶🏻
Aja I love your videos so much. It really is the breakdown I needed to get on top of my finances. I have the master planner and I absolutely love it! One thing I would love to know is how many different accounts you have to keep your money organized and where. I know you mention it here and there but I feel like my biggest issue is keeping those finances separate from one another. How many are savings accounts, how many are checking, etc and how do you avoid fees. Thank you again!
Aww Aja I still have my support your girls sweatshirt! 💕
This was so wholesome 😭
Where is your top from? It looks beautiful
Been on this channel for ages, wish I could see when I subscribed.
Love baby Aja.
Thank you!
How you budget or save if you have to use all your paycheck every time?
Do you have an example/template of how to build an excel budget spreadsheet?? so lost on where to start!
What are your thoughts on Marcus?
Can you make a video on budgeting and still being fashionable. You seems to have nice clothing. How do you save and look fashionable ? How much money should be spent on clothing. I really can’t cut off buying clothes 😅
Can you tell us how you care for your bird of paradise plant? How do you water it without moving it? I’m assuming that is a cover pot and it looks too heavy to move.
It’s actually easy for me to move and I water and drain it outside
You are just absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
You should totally do reaction videos more often.
Weird question but what are u drinking out of? Do u love it and if so, why? Also it really would be great for u to react to your debt free video. What was meeting Dave Ramsey like?
YEEEES, do not pay bank fees!!!!!
You look the same. You’re very pretty… I think you look better with your short hair than long, but that’s just my opinion… great videos, great job!!
I wonder what you think about Caleb hammer?? The financial CZcamsr.
Don’t know Caleb
@@AjaDang He can be really brutal. When he works with people to set their budget, he almost never leaves any room for fun. Sometimes it's justified in a way, but most of the time I think he's being a bit too aggressive. Burnout is real and allowing freedoms here and there will prevent that.
*Trash, he doesn't really help the people, he just embarrasses them for clicks.*
@@vr00mie87Ah. Not my vibe at all but if his audience finds value in it then at least there’s that.
Where were you getting $40 haircuts??? 🤯 My monthly acrylics, pedis, and massages have always been non-negotiable for me, even while I was paying off debt...personal finance is PERSONAL!
Girl I dunno. Super Cuts? Lol
Are you a, spend on what you love and cut back mercilessly on the things you don’t, kinda person? I found that mindset better than, what you talked about. Cutting back on everything.
I just opened my Ally account two weeks ago !
Yay!
Sometimes I wonder whether I could have made money off of my $155K student loan payoff journey if I had put it on CZcams or something else. I am a mixed race female and only made high five figures during that time. (I finished in 2018). Water under the bridge at this point but when I see so many people doing it now I'm like "damn I missed out!"
It’s not too late
Hi Aja! Congratulations on moving to Houston! I messaged you on Instagram, don’t know if you’ll ever see it. But if you ever need a dog sitter I’d love to help! 🤍🤍
