- Hello! Welcome to another sit-down video where I go through every job and wage/salary I’ve had in my 20's so far. In making this, I wanted to contribute to the conversation around salary transparency and hopefully inspire others to get more comfortable talking about financial topics. The book I mentioned, Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap, was a huge catalyst in my interest in financial literacy, and I encourage you to check it out!

Talking about money can feel vulnerable- and I definitely feel a bit vulnerable in sharing this! But it’s also important to remember that the amount of money you have/make in no way correlates to your value as a person.
Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you enjoyed the video!

7:57 “our company doesn’t do merit-based raises”
What a scam. Why would anyone work hard for such a company?
Agreed! I used to put in so much effort...now I give the bare minimum at work and put my energy towards things that I actually care about.
I started at 12 an hour in 2014 in high school. Currently I’m at 28.90 an hour. 62k net a year working half the year at factory 12 hour shifts. I don’t even know what I want to do anymore. I just want to retire but I’m only 26 years old.
I totally feel you. It's really frustrating to have to center life around work. A big part of why I was inspired to start doing youtube videos was because I wanted to feel inspired creatively again after realizing that no matter how hard I worked at my job it was only going to do so much for me, and I was going to have to find fulfillment, purpose, and joy elsewhere. It's a journey, and not an easy one, but I'm wishing you the best :)
This was really interesting to watch as a college student starting to enter the work world, thank you for sharing! I quite agree that salaries and job progression are not discussed enough even though these conversations are very beneficial for those with less financial education.
What did you study in college, only if you don't mind sharing? And how much have you found it impacted your career path?
Hey Julia! Thanks for watching, I’m really glad you found it interesting :) In college I majored in English language and literature. I originally chose this because I was considering going to law school (then I changed my mind) and I think it was still beneficial in the sense that it helped me refine a lot of the skills that I use for my job today (research and writing being the biggest). I think the most important thing is learning how to market the skills you build in college to future employers! Let me know if you have more questions I’m always happy to answer!
Thank you for the transparency! This is always inspiring
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
would love more finance videos in the future !
I live in Michigan too!! It’s nice finding CZcamsrs that live in this state!

You are awesome. Thank you for this much-needed type of video.
Thank you for watching!!
Appreciate the salary transparency 👍
Thanks Sabrina! Inspirational :)
Thanks Aman!
Great to watch this as someone a couple of decades into my career - we never had such transparency or information when I was starting out. Everything was just opaque and money was not to be discussed. Thanks for creating, I have no idea why the algorithm put this in front of me but was amazing to watch!
Thanks for watching I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Appreciate the transparency and admire your drive to want to keep growing. It's good to be reminded that there is always somebody out there that is going through similar things.
Thank you for watching! I agree that it's nice to know you're never alone.
This was really interesting to see, guys like u share your experiences in life and especially about the personal finances and I would personally like to see more videos in this niche....
Love from 🇮🇳
I'm glad you found it interesting! I will share more in the future :) Thanks!

You're welcome, thanks for watching :)
Great video!
I hope everything works out for you. You seem like a hard working person that I would admire. The fact you're only 25 years old shows that you will make it to the big leauges very soon!
Wow, what a kind comment! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it :)
great video!! thanks for sharing :)
thank you for watching!! I'll definitely share more financial videos in the future :)
Love the video, I am a 24F in MI as well!!
Thank you for watching and ahh that's awesome! Glad you found my video :)
How much money do you think average CZcams content creators make?
Cool story bro 😎 Like listening to these stories while applying for jobs lol, iduno why but nice!
Haha love it! Thanks for watching :)
Sabrina, I hope you do well. It will be tough at the moment but you seem like you’ve been focused on the right path. No distractions in the way at all. Please keep us updated. I make 60k a year doing the trades, I honestly regret it. After watching this I realized I’m not alone. Best of luck! 🎉😊
Thank you for watching :) Best of luck to you too!!
At 3% raise per year, you got to work 30+ years to double your salary, then again your job have a salary cap or the company will just get rid of you these days. Tech jobs are the worst, at 35-40’s years old, your career is at its end, companies will laid you off and no one wants to hire you because you’re “old” and too expensive to be hire.
Sounds like you got good work ethics!
Thank you!!
"we dont do performance based promotions" wat
Hahah I know, right
debra morgan hopping onto youtube??
Id be interested in your boyfriend’s salary and total household income. Expenses and take home pay/limitations to your current financial situation. 50k seems very low for New York.
Yea, I should have made it more clear in the video but I no longer live in New York! Even with 3 roommates, living in New York was very expensive at this salary, which (among other things) was a reason we moved back to Michigan after a year. Hoping to move back one day when I get a higher-paying job, though :)
Why dopeople like remote jobs ? It's not that good for networking at early careers.
It's not for everyone but I honestly love it! It's given me the flexibility to move around without being tied to one location and travel while working. The networking looks different, but I've also made amazing lifelong friends at my job and have continued to network in different spaces, both online and in person.
What did you study in college?
English Literature and Language! I had no idea what to do, so kept it general
Background music is too loud
Thank you for the feedback! Will make sure to turn it down in the next one :)
no way ur living in manhattan at those salaries. something dont add up
Haha, yeah, I don't live there anymore! It was definitely a challenge living there at that salary, and a lot of my income went towards rent. I was also living with 3 roommates (one of them was my boyfriend) and that was absolutely the only way I was able to make it work for the time that I was there. I apologize for not making this part clear in the video!
Can you make more financial videos including like expenses and maybe your bf too included as a whole 😂
Absolutely! Would be happy to :)
strong and independent women are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to salary.
i worked 0 part time jobs in college out of state all 5 years and used my family credit card to get doordash for every meal, gopuff, weed, gambling and 2000 dollar per month rent and 250 thousand tuition all covered by my parents...
great viewership but you look 28.. just find a man who will work and take care of you and your money problem is solved lol..
I did a summer internship in Washington DC at only $10/hr in the summer of 2005 and it was really cool 🆒 seeing the city 🏙️
