I’ve been bingeing these type of videos and came across your channel… woah have to say, that’s really nice of you to pay for your brother’s tuition
Thank you ☺️
I love these kinds of spending videos! Really cool to see how people spend their money on different things; I imagine it takes such courage (while having fun with it along the way haha) to do this kind of content. Although you do spend a lot on gifts, I really admire that the biggest percentage of your spending is on investments/assets, which is a good start! I also like how the lowest percentage of your spending is on food which is brownie points to you! It's common for a lot of people to spend a good chunk of their money on food because many people are lazy to cook their own meals haha (totally understandable but it can be costly...). Also admired that you used credit cards instead of debit cards to make purchases as you definitely can rack up a lot of points in which you can use for travel! Good on you Mia! It was also good that you mentioned you don't typically spend much as the data you pulled was from November which can be a busy season for most people; I would agree with you in that your monthly spending would be a lot lower :)
I think you're doing great overall; to some extent, the Louis Vuitton might be a "dumb" purchase, but I say it be a good asset if you plan on selling it later in the future (but hey all good if you wanna keep it forever haha!). Really love these types of videos because it's fun looking at your spending and letting yourself be aware to make better habits later down the road!
Great content as always! Hope you're doing well Mia! :)

0:56 Guilty as charged... LOL
3:29 "Unnecessarily expensive" Uh-oh, I guess someone bought the Mercedes or the Lexus hehe! Just kidding :)
4:21 Yeah, 100%! If you track on the things you spent consistently, it inspires you in a way to change and make good habits
5:06 Haha, very smart of you to not share exactly what you've been investing in :)
5:15 Goddamn! Looks like Mia got that expensive taste hehe
6:36 I watched a UA-camr I follow and he did a tour of Amazon Fresh with his wife and kids. It was actually interesting to see and it looks awesome!
6:58 Ayyyyyy, that 99 Ranch baby!!! That's always worth the cost because it's a classic Asian grocery store that beats everything else xD; aside from this, that's good you got a grocery store trifecta going on because Costco and 99 Ranch are great stores that give you a bang for your buck (haven't been to Amazon Fresh before so I can't say for sure on that one)
7:47 Well and that's what matters because if you are planning to travel often, then the Amex is worth it; it's really about taking advantage of the plethora of benefits the credit card offers; otherwise it be better to go for a different travel credit card; the Capital One Venture is also a good card too which you have there
8:26 Probably not a good thing if you are not sure a certain transaction showed up haha; but hey honestly it's 2.95 so it probably won't mean a lot :)
9:08 What a great sister you are! Tuition as gift for your brother! Not that common these days! (Now it got me wondering if it can be considered a tax ride-off haha xD; I'll have to look it up in my free time)
Woah!! Thank you for such a detailed feedback ☺️☺️ your comment always makes my day!
Ugh I'm so jealous!! :( but videos are getting better and better. This is what kind of contents I'm interested in!! This is Isaac btw hahaha
Haha was wondering who this is 😂 thanks Isaac ☺️
I was very shocked to see you spend that much in a month lol but it's so sweet of you to pay for your brother's tuition!
I know… I’m shocked too 😂 thank you, Cynthia 🥰🥰❤️
