    Love this video, just got out of a long term relationship and was so fortunate to have an emergency fund I could dip into in order to get my own place! Going from a double income to a single is def going to be a big change but this video really has inspired me to BUDGET and take control of my finances

    Wow I see numbers like this and I feel dumb with my $70K salary job. Could you do a video of how you get into these higher paying positions please? I’m not saying you don’t work hard for it but there’s definitely something you are doing that is different. Regardless thank you for sharing!

    • @AjaDang
      @AjaDang  Před rokem +18

      definitely do not feel dumb about $70,000 that is a lot of money! And remember, I not in a traditional 9-5 so people don't move up the "ranks" the same way you might so it would be hard for me to do a video about growing as a content creator bc it's the wild wild west.

    It's great that it was a good month for you! I'm getting my Feb budget done now, but omg when I heard that your rent is $2,100, I was so jealous! I'm paying $3,100 for a modern one bed in Brooklyn, NY and I like my apartment but that hurts every month!

      I assume their rent is actually $4,200 and Brian pays the other half... They live in Los Angeles, after all. There's no way their full rent is $2,100 for that space.

      @@LL-pq5uo ohh that’s a good point, I wasn’t sure if she was talking just about her own income or if she was using total household - some of the dining expenses seemed like the total for both of them, but maybe she just pays that out of her budget, versus her husband’s. Makes sense though, I was like shocked when she said $2100!

    what is the breakdown of your pet insurance? my insurance for my dog and two cats is $66 a month for unlimited coverage with a $250 deductible, i can't even imagine paying over $300 a month!! I am sure you have a lower deductible and wellness coverage as well but I still feel like the extra $250 a month is wayyy higher than what you would pay out of pocket each year for wellness!

    • @AjaDang

      Our yearly payment for 2 dogs in $3600. And we’ve already almost made that back with Luke’s 2 ER stints + it’ll cover their deep cleaning dental so it’s definitely worth it for us
