  • “WORST THINGS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!” I had quite a number of you telling me that Patricia Bright did a video on this, and could I do my own version. Patricia’s version was so funny, but I also really liked the more serious message that ran through, to do with us all being a bit more “aware” and thoughtful in our purchases! I recommend you watch Patricia’s video if you haven’t already seen it as it’s brilliant: • THE WORST THINGS I EVE...
    So here are some of my worst purchases, and some of my best!! These include cars from BMW, Porsche and also my Degree, Tag Heuer watch, Louis Vuitton ‘Neverful’ and more!

    So glad you touched on your education. I feel like nowadays so many influencers and prominent figures (especially on CZcams) are pushing this ‘high school dropout’ image that seems dangerous for younger people to follow. Keep up the great work ❤️

      FCN_ Art, my husband didn’t go to college and I have two B.A.’s and an M.A., he creates opportunity through sheer force of will. He’s super smart but not obedient enough for a typical degree. I think it depends a lot on the individual what type of education is a good idea and if you are going to opt out you need to be willing and able to reinvent yourself, to huddle, and to have some serious networking and social skills. I think the big thing is to always move forward and not get stuck at entry level.

      I think education is necessary for certain fields but a lot of the time it is a scam, my husband was a history major wanting to be a professor but when he found out how difficult it can be to find a job in that field along with how little pay you receive for 6 years worth of school/debt he decided to drop out. He now does management work for construction companies and makes at least double what he would have made if he'd stayed in school.

    • @MissAlikescakes
      @MissAlikescakes Před 5 lety +1

      @FCN_ Art probably in your country. In my country, Portugal, everyone needs to have college. If you have only high school or less you curriculum is weak. There is many people here that have less than 9th grade because the school system was different before the 90's, they don't find job because you can see that at time the focus was get out of school and get a job, so today they don't speak and wrote well. Also it was really expensive study after the 6the grade at that time, so everyone now needs to have one college coarse.
      There is place where we can try find job and they offer the option to that people come back to school and learn more but they don't want, they fell the school system changed too much.

      I wonder if this is just a Uk thing? Because it’s definitely not in the US I can’t even tell you how many people I know that don’t have jobs in there degree. Here everyone hires on experience. The earlier you get in for the experience is who gets the job. Come to think of it I probably know more well off people my age who dropped out of highschool to get internships and now get payed major money then I do people who work in the degree they paid 50k for

A degree in any of the STEM fields, business and marketing, the medical sciences, a trades degree, or a double major in teaching and a subject like science, English, languages, etc. will be more likely to get you a steady job than say, a degree in gender studies or philosophy.

The interim has been hard but as of this week actually we are finally debt free (no more student loans, car payments, or credit cards). I never would have believed we’d make it out the other side. Make a plan and know cutting back isn’t forever. The reality is I’ll never be able to afford the things Sophie can, and the truth is that’s ok, because I’m not exactly where I want to be.

      Uni is good if you go for something like STEM, business, education, or the medical fields. You could then get a minor in something like English, or Gender studies; or get a double major in teaching and English to be a teacher. It's just not good to go into 70K of student debt for a degree that will not get you a good paying job unless you double major in something that will get you a good job. I lucked out because my 70k of student debt is going toward a STEM degree in a viable field and a Spanish degree as well, but I have a friend who did only English with a film emphasis, got into student debt, and he is pushing carts for $10.00 an hour. It's awful.

    Excellent watch choice. So many people who are into luxury fashion choose a watch from a designer clothing brand that is a cheaply made mechanism with a license to use the brand’s name. You have a watch from a watchmaking company with a rich heritage and dedication to quality time keeping. That will earn you respect in the business world and from other people who understand horology.

    I bought a house two years ago, half an hour out of my northern city. People asked me why.
    It was really simple. I wanted a house with a mortgage that I could pay off with ease. I didn't want to stay up at night with a huge 3 bed house in a fancy area, worrying about losing a job, going off sick etc.
    My location was a sacrifice but a huge gain in terms of finance. My brother is 4 years older than me and isn't close to buying his home because its in a super expensive area. He's in debt with credit cards and he's going on fancy holidays.
    People look at me and wonder how I've done it. I've just been smarter and bought things within my means.

      Sunny Ray yes! I used to work for a credit card company and so many people ruined their credit scores going on repayment plans because they were simply living a lifestyle they couldn’t afford. I’d go through their income and outgoings with them and they’d be shocked at how much they spent each month (some were spending thousands over their income!). working there made me so aware of what I was earning vs spending each month.

    I'm glad your education was on the best purchase list. and from cars, to purses, to kitchen stuff XD BUT, food keeps us alive and able to enjoy the other stuff we own, so... I'm really happy with my juicer, and i should be using it more. Also, i'm happy with my skills and my first sewing machine /beginner one and cheap, but gotta start somewhere, lol. Thanks for the video!

    The bit at the end about education really resonated with me! I'm 23 and I've always had crappy hospitality or retail jobs paying minimum wage. In June I finished my Bachelor of Science and started applying for jobs straight away. Last week I found out that I got an amazing job, paying triple what I've ever been paid before! It feels so amazing to be finished with school and I almost can't believe how quickly its changed my job prospects. I'm starting my career now yeah baby!

    I love this video for so many reasons! Education is so important. My mom is very well off and is generous enough to give me a very comfortable life and sometimes help me with luxury purchases, but she always says the greatest gift she'll give me is my education. I'm in my second year of medical school and I hate it some days especially when I see people my age having fun and not studying on weekends...but I know it'll be worth it. I want a Porsche Cayenne one day! Also have a Tag watch right now and love it. Awesome video :)

    SOPHIE! I have the fix for your GM neverfull. I have that bag but I don’t wear it like that. I push each side in and tighten the side straps like it’s designed to do. Then! I bought another LV lock and brought both side straps to the front of the bag and locked them together. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on it. It makes it looks like a whole new bag and solves the problem of it falling open and it makes it appear much smaller or a bag in general.

    So thrilled with your video. You are amazing. Education is not stressed enough these days in the US. So many successful people who are millionaires have dropped out of high school and made their way to the top and a lot of the teens look up to them and say, why do I have to go to college or finish my schooling when they didn't and look where they are now. They are the exception to the rule, but these teens do not see them that way. I really love all of your videos and I believe you are a very good example of hard work, good morals and honesty. I think your husband, David is the same. I know you both work hard and enjoy each others company. Keep up the good work. I would love to see a makeup video from start to finish if you could do that. Thank you for all you do for this community.

    Haha, I absolutely love you! You can talk about Porsche and Chanel and then just throw in an egg cooker at the end like it's no big deal. 😂😂😂
    I'm turning 30 this year, and I'm going back to school in September. Although it's only for a year and a half, I still feel like it will make a big change for me. Or so I hope. 🤞

    Thank you for saying that it's never too late to educate myself. I "knew" it, but I needed to hear it from someone else to push myself a bit harder and stop regretting why I didn't get it done in my 20's :)

  • @adamr-j232
    @adamr-j232 Před 5 lety

    Love this video Sophie! I really love that you mentioned your first Porsche as one of your best purchases too! I am on track to be getting my first Porsche (Entry level, like a Cayman or a Boxster) by the time I'm 25/26 too, and I get so exited thinking about it. I started watching your channel when I was 15 (2015/16) and remember falling in love with your white Boxster, I can't believe how the time has gone by and I'm now in my second job, have achieved so much and can start planning towards my own :D xx

  • @elyk666
    @elyk666 Před 4 lety

    I’m about to turn 25 and want to go back to school, but keep getting sucked into thinking “you are too old for uni! You’re no longer 18!”, so the fact that you touched on how many doors college has opened and that we’re never too old to go back meant a lot to me. 💕

    @littlemomment Před 4 lety +1

    I agree of having a degree. I went to nursing school while raising 3 kids. It was difficult and brutal. I have no social life and i was deprived with sleep, but in the end it was all worth. After earning a degree I have a greater Self Satisfaction, and I believe that my job as a nurse is meaningful. On my graduation I got a Porsche Cayenne as a gift from my husband but, nothing can compare the feeling of sense of satisfaction from earning a degree that I work so hard for. Kudos to Sophie for emphasizing about the importance of education.

  • @suzannehall5200
    @suzannehall5200 Před 3 lety

    I bought the egg poaching pan after watching this and you are so right. It’s fantastic and it’s changed my life. I love my poached eggs but got thoroughly sick of wasting so many eggs that went all manky in water. Now they are perfect every single time. It’s really helpful that you do reviews on lots of lifestyle things as well as luxury.

  • @MrAdorable16
    @MrAdorable16 Před 5 lety +1

  • @calicoquilter4472
    @calicoquilter4472 Před 5 lety

    The egg poacher totally cracked me up but I sooooo agree. Any appliances/utensils that make life simpler are worth it, especially when I was getting up at 5:30 in the morning when I could barely think, much less make breakfast. Always enjoy your videos!

    Yes education was my best investment too started at 17 yo and spent a total of 22 years getting my degrees. Finished my doctorate at 60 with no debt. Worked full time the entire time night shift. Received my Rolex when I finished grad school at Georgetown Univ. have worn it Everday since 1983. . However I have now traveled the world, have a horse farm and finally got my dream car four years ago. So appreciate you encouraging others. While a degree is not the only way to success it adds many layers to our knowledge and understanding of the world. Thank you for the pleasurable vid. After a long day with very sick patients this is my treat.

You are both just such poster children for self disipline! I just love listening to your life experiences,lessons and accomplishments and love to travel with y’all!

    Sophie, I love your videos! Thanks so much for talking about this and being so open about debt and finances. I just finished my Master’s degree and I’m sitting on an insane amount of debt from it, even in spite of scholarships. I worked really hard and finished a Master’s at 22, which is quite early. Unfortunately though, I’m about to start working my first job and I’m still worried about finances. Fingers crossed that it will work out in the end though...

    Fortunaly I ended college last month without any debt but my family has a lot of debt. We almost lost our house becausw of two credit cards, so I learn a lesson just seeing them having shame, I only buy things I can pay with my money, because I don't drive, I don't have my own house and I only have my education. So I want to have good things but at the right situation and with my money and without shame.
