I recently lost my job due to my company closing and I just discovered you on UA-cam, thank you so much for your videos. They have helped me tremendously!
From an outsider looking in, you are quite self disciplined already! You’ve been consistently uploading. I’ve wanted to start a UA-cam channel for 5 years and never done it for fear I couldn’t keep up with once a week! And you do it so well! Even though it might flow for you and feel fun, you are still so consistent and have been ! That’s not to be written off Zoe ! You should be proud of what you do weekly! especially through the pandemic ?! Working full time?? amazing!
aw Stephanie 🥺💖💖💖 thank you so much! & plsss start that channel! it can help to upload without expectations or schedule at first, just make some videos that make you feel good and hit upload. let a schedule come when it feels right xx
Hi Zoe. I'm 31, have had a complete career change in the last few years and still don't feel that I am where I am supposed to be (and am finally admitting it). It's such a tough spot to be in, especially when we get attached to the money. But I am determined to not give up on myself. I will be happy in a job eventually. So I admire the heck out of you for always trying to stay true to yourself. And for sharing the wins and stumbles along the way. You help me all the time ❤️
That makes me so happy to help 💖 you will absolutely find that job/thing that makes you happy, and I wish you so much fun and success all along the way xo
Zoe, Can I just say...out of all the youtube channels I've come across yours has inspired me the most. I was let go of a toxic job that was excruciatingly difficult this week. Also in the consulting field except I was specializing in software. The job was so demanding and required so much self teaching. My boss was very supportive and encouraging but her training style did not align with my way of learning. She would get so frustrated when I asked her questions and write me emails how disappointed she was over minor mistakes. I was overly exhausted and running on very little food and sleep everyday. Everyday I woke up dreading my life because this job sucked the soul out of me. I was let go because she could tell how unhappy I was and I wasn't meeting her expectations because I was so burnt out after only 3 months. Sometimes its worth taking a pay cut for your mental health and doing what you love. I love beauty, skincare, and would love to be a youtube beauty guru one day. You really are super articulate and financially literate. I also love how transparent and relatable your content is. Like me, you aren't someone who can be put into a box. Your creativity and passion transpire the mundane corporate atmosphere. Keep growing and keep doing what you're doing because it really is motivating and makes others feel less alone.
My 2022 was such an emotional ride too. Quit my job in March without a back-up plan and only my savings as a safety net, but knew I had to get away from my toxic manager and being un-valued while over-worked. 4 months worth of interviews later, I finally landed a wonderful position with a prestigious company and more than double the salary I had before. But the sleepless nights, anxiety, self-loathing, and questioning life in between then was so gut wrenching. I love the "live frugal, feel rich" mentality - will be putting into practice ASAP! Side note, I looove your necklace, where is it from?
Hi Zoe. Just a observation from someone looking in from the outside, I just wanted to tell you your doing amazing. Not a lot of people your age have the self awareness and skills you have that you work on every day. I know sometimes it’s hard to see your own hard work but your doing it !! Give your self a chance to breathe. You deserve it.
Wow Zoe you’ve changed so much since January/last year. I took a pause from UA-cam since then and watching this now and seem like mentally you’ve become much kinder to yourself! It’s awesome.
Prices have been going up like crazy and still going 😭 I have the exact same thoughts and feelings and I can't seem to stop myself from feeling this way. I know it is not easy to share your doubts and emotions and I appreciate and respect your transparency Zoe.
I identify with you so much! I also lost my job 1 month ago, a very similar story to yours. 1 month later, I know it was for the best, and I try to enjoy my life a little before applying again, or doing freelancing. Your story is a really insipiration to me
your financial videos always inspire me Zoey! Been on my own financial journey and saving money, so seeing someone “normal” and not live this extremely extravagant lifestyle is more inspiring for me and refreshing to see 💖 great video!😊
Hi Zoe, love your videos. I totally relate to this sometimes. I am a trained actor but at the moment had to fall into an ordinary job to pay the bills, its really hard sometimes and I can be harsh on myself regarding this, but over time I have slowly learnt to just accept what is going on in the now and just be thankful. I used to really get anxious and worry about things, but what I have learnt is that all this stuff just makes us who we are and is a part of the story. Whenever I get a moment of anxiety or worry, I just look at all the amazing people I have in my life, and look at what I have in my life, and it puts things into perspective. Same with the money worries, I used to beat myself up if I did not save what I had intended to that month, but as the cost of living rises it has become harder. I now just do what I can, be sensible but also not deprive myself as life is extremely short! x
thank you for being so vulnerable and honest 💕💕 what you have done with your channel these past 6 months is so impressive!! Love watching you grow & figure all this out
Looking back and recalling the mindset you were in when first setting goals is such a great exercise! It’s so easy to lose that in light of the everyday hustle and bustle. Here’s hoping the rest of your 2022 is filled with discovery!
To be honest, you just inspired me to do a check in. I’ve never done one & I tend to forget accomplishments I have made & feel like I should be doing more. I’m gnna do one stat! 😊
ah good! this wasn’t exactly easy but was so refreshing! & i think you’ll be surprised about how far youve come and what no longer really matters to you 😇 enjoy!!
Always love hearing you talk about your goals, both personal and financial, and appreciate your honesty with difficulties. Helps me to see I’m not alone with the mental struggle of being too hard on myself sometimes when things don’t go the way I thought they should. Thanks for a great video!!
I think you're doing amazing Zoe I can totally see it. Some periods of our lives will be more challenging than others but the better days will always come. I agree with one of the comments that I read, I feel like you are disciplined and sometimes we tend to be more strict with ourselves when in reality we're doing great ❤ I really hope that I won't be financially anxious one day as well cause it is true, when you live in fear you don't love yourself the way you should.
2022 has been good, even tho I feel like I could be doing so much better. I’m feeling kinda burnout from work. Maybe I just need to take another vacation and work on myself to feel more positive. Prices are high everywhere, from groceries, to gas, to utilities ! But I actually like to coupon for household items at my DG. You can get pretty good deals on saturdays. Lol Sometimes I wish I could have more free time 😊 Your outfit, nails and makeup are on point 😍😍 Hope you have an awesome week girlie and thank you for sharing this video with us♥️
thank you Mar 💖💖 burnout is such a tricky feeling, and sometimes it takes a diy vacation like watching disney movies (or whatever movies) on the couch for a day or two to start feeling better. I hope you feel better soon xo ps Im really jealous of American couponing 😂 we just don’t have it like that over here
From the outside, my life changed A LOT, but I do have trouble keeping track. You’ve inspired me to start using Notion again, so hopefully that helps. I’ll be visiting Montreal and Quebec City soon, maybe I’ll run into you!
To overcome inflation, keep investing in a good index funds. Keeping too much money in the bank will lose its purchasing power over time. Recession is not come yet but it might come early as we know. Fed is raising interest rate too quickly to control over inflation and that might pause economic activity. It is a good idea to have 5 to 6 month of saving for your emergency funds during recessions. It is also a good time for investing because every stocks are on sale. When stock market are more than 20% down, it is a good time to buy and ride the wave and you will come on top within 2 years. You will make a tons of money. By the way, you are doing really good at your age. congrats on your hard work. Keep up the good work.
this is my first video i'm watching from you. i can relate being 24 and not being able to figure out things in my life. and with current times, it's tough to find my footing after dropping out of nursing school and finding a new job is tough! i'll watch more of your videos :)
You are doing Amazing Zoe! I discovered your channel earlier this year and I can say I always watch your videos now. I love your perfectly imperfect content. You keep it very real and genuine every time. ❤️❤️❤️
Doing a no buy july and struggling with the emotions I usually distract myself from by shopping. It's going well so far and I'm sure I can do the rest of the month and maybe the rest of the year. Appreciate your vulnerability and honesty as always! From my view I think you have a lot to be proud of this year
Zoe have you every thought about applying for remote full time job in Copywriting or as a Technical Writer? It seems like a good balance where you'll still have your flex time but work in a creative space as well.
Yes .. worried about recession here too (also in Canada) esp since Bank of Canada raised the interest rate by 1% last night and I have a variable mortgage rate 😳 however we just have to trust that everything will work out ❤️ Keep working, keep uploading, you are in your prime! As long as you have your health and good people around you you will be just fine 😊 hugs!!
thank you ❤️❤️ Crazy for the interest rate, been reading about that today as well. My boyfriends mortgage is variable so although I can’t relate first-hand, I see how stressful it can be.
Your anxieties and fears are understandable. May be you can find solace in the fact that you saved yourself from a possible burnout in your 30s. Which is unfortunately prevalent in careers like consulting. You’re managing your money well and advancing your career on UA-cam. And you absolutely can call yourself a UA-camr if that’s what you think you are. You don’t have to attach your identity to your work, but if you want to, that’s fine. You have goals and you’re methodical with your approach. You’ve cultivated good habits at a young age. You most definitely will reap the benefits of it going forward.
I'm getting clobbered by the combination of inflation, outrageous gas prices and stangant wages here in NYC. For you, Zoe---you're young, you have the benefit of compounded interest on a good index mutual fund. You're doing great... take things one month at a time! :)
Hi Zoe, nice video, you covered some interesting topics. I understand your lack of security, but since your main source of income is UA-cam, you can considered as being one step ahead from regular workers because you don't rely on an employer for it. I work full-time, I had been with the same employer for now 10 years, but no matter what, I remain an employee. We main face a recession, so nothing can be considered 100% secured when your an employee, and you aren't, which play in your favor. One good way to feel more secured is to build up your savings, like you had been doing. You are doing great Zoe, congrat 🙂
Love this, thanks for sharing! Congrats on your progress! My thoughts on inflation feel connected to what you said about jobs and identity. I think to the extent that not calling yourself a UA-camr is about imposter syndrome, then totally push against it because you're doing great! I love your vlogs! I think there can be merit, though, in making sure that our jobs don't make up too much of our sense of identity, because jobs change. Especially in this economy. I try to own it while it lasts, but also be open to change in the future as life takes me on my path. Prayer helps me here a lot, trusting that God has my back and is taking care of things. Things change all the time and my sense of self is a more solid, core thing that carries through it all. Feel you on the lack of structure, too :) Good luck! It's one of my goals too!
I'm a bit older than you and I can definitely relate to a lot of things you talked about, I also imagined my life looking completely different by now, as well as being hard on myself and lacking discipline at the same time 😅 still I think you're doing great 😊 just maybe don't believe everything you think 😉
I think the "do you make money from that?" Question is so typical for freelancers, especially in professions that are perceived as "artsy" more like writing etc. I'm a freelance translator and people ask me this or a version of this like "do you do this fulltime?" So many times 🙄 and it often comes from people who I know make less than I do with my freelancing... It's kind of a rude question...
My goal for the end of the year is to build up a savings buffer to have in my account before I get paid. I save every month but I hate that there’s basically no money in my account by the end of the month.Because I’ve used some, saved some, and by the end of the month there’s nothing 😕
Hi Zoe! I think of you like a Content Creator, you can search jobs descriptions to figure it out what's your "title", but is not necessary that you have to be one, you can be a lot of things, so try to settle the idea of it, of write down to your future me, that's helpful. About your fear for the future, you can indulge your thoughts writing down a plan IF the worst happen. You can make a plan and talk with friends and family asking them for the support IF that happen, so you can be calmed with a plan made and people who will help if you need it :) hope that can be helpful ☺️
So, not buying celery cause it's more expensive, but buying a dress for $140 and shoes for $80? I still buy celery and avoid overpriced fashion, as I have done before this "inflation".
The point here is that celery has more than doubled in price…. it’s not about comparing it to clothing prices which have always ranged from single digits to thousands of dollars.
@@ZoePritchard right I know and I expected this answer, but at the end of the day saving $3 is not going to make a big difference, whereas other things will have more impact on your expenses. Either way, you shouldn't be stressed about your future, you are trying to be a responsible person, it'll be ok, might get longer to get there.
Zoe, long time not seen. Well, i would join your club about "seeing my life differently" since we are the same age. I always imagined myself being a young mum, but honestly, I have no wish to invest my current time into raising a kid. I feel myself as a kid, who is forced to be an adult's body and everyone around me waiting till i will do major steps in my life. But life is so unpredictable, you never saw yourself making money from something which is not even a real job in some people's eyes. I think in your eyes it is not a real job as well and you agreed that u need to change ur mindset about it. 18 years old me, would probably hate how I look right now, cause all i wanted to be was being skinny, and now i am all about muscles and stronger upper body. 30 years old Zoe will laugh about ur doubts now, when from 34,5k subs you will hit millions of us, and u will be able to earn twice ur making now. Workmarkets changed a lot, with all my respect to doctors, teachers and etc, doing social media is a real job now and it will be more and more paid in the future.
thank you for sharing, and for the kindness 💖💖 also, I so feel you on feeling like a kid.. i weirdly feel younger now in some ways than I did at 20 lol
@@ZoePritchard 😂🥲🤍 appreciate the realness as always. It’s so true that we have this idea of how things will go after graduating/ being an adult. And the road because much more difficult/ or the reality ends up being so far off. But I’ve tried to shift my mentality to not get stuck on an outcome, and focus on having fun/ exploring. It’s lessened the pressure on career, friends, finances, etc! Appreciate you touching on it and being honest about the messy process of adapting to it! 🤍
How has your 2022 been so far? Let me know in the comments 💖

Don’t worry. Still around 55 years to go

But I actually like to coupon for household items at my DG. You can get pretty good deals on saturdays. Lol
Sometimes I wish I could have more free time

Hope you have an awesome week girlie and thank you for sharing this video with us♥️

Wowww so proud of you!! Keep going, you’ve come so far 👏🏼 you’re more then capable of getting anything you want in life ❤️

hey, could you do a video on copywriters please? what it is, how it works, how to get a contract? thanks!
Hi Zoe!
I think of you like a Content Creator, you can search jobs descriptions to figure it out what's your "title", but is not necessary that you have to be one, you can be a lot of things, so try to settle the idea of it, of write down to your future me, that's helpful.
About your fear for the future, you can indulge your thoughts writing down a plan IF the worst happen. You can make a plan and talk with friends and family asking them for the support IF that happen, so you can be calmed with a plan made and people who will help if you need it :) hope that can be helpful ☺️
thank you Christina 💖💖 really, really good idea!!
@@ZoePritchard ❤️💕 hope it helps ☺️
So, not buying celery cause it's more expensive, but buying a dress for $140 and shoes for $80? I still buy celery and avoid overpriced fashion, as I have done before this "inflation".
The point here is that celery has more than doubled in price…. it’s not about comparing it to clothing prices which have always ranged from single digits to thousands of dollars.
@@ZoePritchard right I know and I expected this answer, but at the end of the day saving $3 is not going to make a big difference, whereas other things will have more impact on your expenses. Either way, you shouldn't be stressed about your future, you are trying to be a responsible person, it'll be ok, might get longer to get there.
Zoe, long time not seen. Well, i would join your club about "seeing my life differently" since we are the same age. I always imagined myself being a young mum, but honestly, I have no wish to invest my current time into raising a kid. I feel myself as a kid, who is forced to be an adult's body and everyone around me waiting till i will do major steps in my life. But life is so unpredictable, you never saw yourself making money from something which is not even a real job in some people's eyes. I think in your eyes it is not a real job as well and you agreed that u need to change ur mindset about it. 18 years old me, would probably hate how I look right now, cause all i wanted to be was being skinny, and now i am all about muscles and stronger upper body. 30 years old Zoe will laugh about ur doubts now, when from 34,5k subs you will hit millions of us, and u will be able to earn twice ur making now. Workmarkets changed a lot, with all my respect to doctors, teachers and etc, doing social media is a real job now and it will be more and more paid in the future.
thank you for sharing, and for the kindness 💖💖 also, I so feel you on feeling like a kid.. i weirdly feel younger now in some ways than I did at 20 lol
Our yearly interest rate is 78.62%. Yeah you read that right :)
😱😱
Not me getting emotional from just the intro 😂🥺☠️
hehe sorry 🥺
@@ZoePritchard 😂🥲🤍 appreciate the realness as always. It’s so true that we have this idea of how things will go after graduating/ being an adult. And the road because much more difficult/ or the reality ends up being so far off. But I’ve tried to shift my mentality to not get stuck on an outcome, and focus on having fun/ exploring. It’s lessened the pressure on career, friends, finances, etc! Appreciate you touching on it and being honest about the messy process of adapting to it! 🤍
Hi zoe
Now is actually the best time to invest while stocks are down. you dont want to invest when everything is going up
Whenever I see people flexing, I remember that I could buy a Lamborghini, but then I’d be a Lamborghini poorer.
