@@ShacklefordR it's more about household size costco wants all households greater than 1 person and especially families. For 1 person it's not that practical to buy in bulk.

She lived in the family home and saved $400,000. That's it, that's the story. We've been programmed to believe we should be on our own starting at age 18 but, it pushes us further and further in debt and diminishes our chances of having real wealth. We should all aspire to save more like she did.
She said it. Costco was probably the highlight of her childhood where she saw her parents happy and probably not stressed. It’s her safe space that’s why she’s obsessed.
It's funny because if you just read about someone that goes to Costco that often and has furnished her place as well as purchased her food and clothing from there it would sound a bit kooky. And maybe it is. But she is so charming and fun. Great energy. She's infectious. She would be a great ambassador for any brand. Pretty amazing how she's turned her love of Costco into a way of making a living. Good for her.
Must mean her parents made fantastic money and that she could be bit more relaxed on the jobs she took up because it wasn't about how much she truly made. More parents should be doing this these days because we're no longer in the 70's where you can get away with just 1 parent entirely paying the home off faster and kids technically not needing to work at all for 2 whole decades.
@glorias. The prices in Costco are lower than in other establishments plus everything is family sized and massive cause it’s all wholesale. TLDR, items sold at Costco are a good deal.
Can't stand Costco. I tried to go in one day and they said I had to buy a membership first. My natural response was, why would I buy a membership when I don't even know what you sell. Apparently it's too exclusive to go inside and take a tour and too snooty to treat potential customers well. Now, my only interaction with Costco is that it's next to my grocery store and their patrons can't navigate a parking lot to save their lives and block lanes and take up spots in a whole separate parking lot. 🤮 that company and its customers.
She is a Bay Area Local LEGEND!!! Her excitement and love for Costco is totally contagious ❤ Such a great human being and a positive light to the Costco community!
@@DanielJLawson88 technically not. "Ninja® and Squishmallows are paid sponsors of @CostcoClaudia" if costco paid her for this video, she'd have to disclose it.
Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..
My goodness!!! She is AMAZING. COSTCO may have impacted her life, and it's her safe space, but she has impacted my life in highlighting one place where you can get 90% of your household items.
They have the most beautiful caskets….. when my parents died I got both their caskets there & they were so amazing ( of course they work w/ an outside company) 🕊️
Claudia is truly genuine and her personality comes out in this video. She's a good friend and really does this because she loves going to Costco. It's fun for her. Yes, she is actually making a living off this now, but she is a good saver and in many years, this will fade and she will have investments that all of us should use her example and take advantage of. She's the real deal. Love you Claudia!
your goal is to have to go to a store because you live/work in a place where you have to wait for hours for traffic to clear? or to get home only to open your hallway door looking at your bed in a studio apartment? dream bigger.
@@leok7193 My goal is to furnish with Costco. No need to define what others should be striving for. Success and happiness looks different for everyone.
I can relate! My family goes to costco every Sun after church. My children like the samples! The employees are nice. It is clean. And they have good quality all the time. As a customer, i am always satisfied.
You know she is saving most of her pennies out of that $12,000 income. She could be in a much bigger place spending money at boutique stores, but she isn’t. Amazing and inspirational.
Yes, new is nice. But since I've donated all my furniture and things and starting over in another state, I won't be investing much to replace them. Resale stores, yard sales, even Goodwill have plenty of perfectly good stuff (donated by people relocating too, or remodeling, upgrading flat-screen TVs, etc,.) And if I decide to move again somewhere I'll donate everything again. See, that's the thing with things. Pay thousands of dollars for them, and then you HAVE to keep them wherever you go. Minimalist mindset is the more you own, the more what you own owns you. It'll be interesting to see what I really want in my new home. It'll be the first place I can keep as sparse as I need it to be. Bare corners. A picture or two. A table to eat. A chair to sit. Something green along a wall. A comfortable couch. A few lamps for good lighting. In the bedroom a lonely chair and a brand new mattress from Costco (a full-size, nothing expensive, on sale hopefully).
Completely baffled as to how Costco hasn't reached out to her yet to work together 🤯 but a cool story. I love how it is literally connected to her childhood 👍
They don't have to. She's already giving them free ad. Same story with women who give men the milk for free and wonder how they aren't getting married.
Did she get her Lexus through a link at Costco? she seems a super nice person and genuine ,that’s why she does so well with her social media,it would be great for her to work with Costco but you’ve always have to be careful with tie up with a big corporation
Meh, my solution is just to stay off social media. Really no need to compare your life to fake people doing staged things for attention. Even this video glamorized her lifestyle, but I'd be sad AF if after work I had to choose between sitting in traffic for hours or going to walk around a store, just to eventually come home to a tiny studio apartment. It's easy to put on a smile for a 7 minute video with a lot of cuts, but if that's supposed to be a joyful life, then I'll stick with my "miserable" one that actually required a degree, allows me to do different work every day, avoid traffic, and come home to a 3/2 home and a garage for less per month than her studio (because I actually bought it instead of mooching off parents only to waste money on rent after). Then again, maybe if I was a cute-ish girl, I'd pose for videos and IG for money too.
The average Costco shopper typically visits every two weeks or around 30 times per year. Getting even more specific, the researchers determined the average U.S. Costco customer is an Asian American woman between 35 and 44 years old.
I picked up my daughter and granddaughter this weekend and drove them to Costco for shopping with her membership. I don't often go, but her family does. It also happened to be record breaking heat 100+ degrees. Sounds silly, but it was nice family time and we even enjoyed hanging out in the walk-in freezer room, while snacking on Pizza from the deli and other sample items. My daughter is about the same age as the woman in this video. She convinced me to get a membership as well. I forgot what a variety of household items they have.
I have the same living room lamp as her, and I can confirm she bought it from Costco. I also got mine from Costco. I have been shopping at Costco since 1986 (with my parents as a kid) and back when Costco first opened, it was only available to business owners or government employees. You had to prove you owned a business or you prove worked for the government in order to buy a membership. Costco's first location outside of Washington State wasn't in the United States, but in Canada, in Burnaby on Brighton Street, which I still most of my shopping.
Not sure about the mattress but I worked in a furniture store and Costco furniture quality and value is way above most giant furniture stores & makers.
I need a wife/ Girlfriend thats as crazy for Costco as this girl is. I though I was crazy but turns out she's more than me. In a good way of course. Would like someone that gets as excited as I get when going there just for a hot dog, or a chicken bake, or the new chocolate chip cookies they have. I am only in my 20s and I already feel like I am one of those middle age people that gets excited to go shopping.
This is 7 min 17 second long Costco commercial
LOL
And I'm here for it
Very good one
😂
Funny how the world works from the title huh?
Girl makes almost $150K/ year teaching piano lessons and going to Costco. Talk about living the dream!!

@@ShacklefordR it doesn't matter if a household of 1 makes 50k or 250k they likely won't go to costco think about it shouldn't be hard to understand
Not every month is consistent income. You're either given the number from her highest month or avg etc.

Amen!
Yes! And normalize living at home with your parents (assuming they’re not abusive). We shouldn’t rush out of home at 18.
I still don't understand how that would amount to 400K? Like maybe 100K after 4-5 years... but 400k???? wtf lol
@@Spungle15 This is one of the reasons why I worked with CNBC to normalize living at home, thank you for seeing this

I'm more amazed at how she saved $400K over 12 years while living with her parents.
It's easy when you have no expenses.
It is easier to save $3k a month with no rent, mortgage, insurance, property tax.
Must mean her parents made fantastic money and that she could be bit more relaxed on the jobs she took up because it wasn't about how much she truly made. More parents should be doing this these days because we're no longer in the 70's where you can get away with just 1 parent entirely paying the home off faster and kids technically not needing to work at all for 2 whole decades.
That's always the catch with this. I haven't seen a "self-made" story on here yet.
@@Itsjamilagain then you haven't watched enough of the videos. they're out there.
I've been a Costco member for over 25 years. I go once a week. Costco is my Disney. Love Costco.
