I'm commenting mid-video...thank you for these words of wisdom! My sentiments exactly! Please advise more on budget smart traveling. I love to travel...
I love this Tonya. Let me tell you, I bought a dress for 5 dollars at forever 21 and it looks GREAT on. And the quality is just as good as anything expensive. People dont understand that this expensive stuff are made in the same places as the cheap stuff. (unless its American made, which people dont wear lol). Anyhow, GREAT vid and at my age I am coming into realization of savings and completely being on my own. And I feel you on the college thing as well.
I had a scholarship that paid tuition but the rest was left up to me (i.e. financial aid) and after school expenses I had to pay for everyday survival, which left me in too much debt. Beyond that, I have to get on my feet after college all on my own. Technically I am an adult but it sucks when you are doing it alone after high school.
ok some expensive things are quality (like ugg boots) but most of the crap people buy is crap. If you can afford it, I am def. a fan of the quality made expensive items, but if you can get the equivalent cheap, why not?
hey Tonya I am not sure how knowledgeable you are with finances but do you think you could do a video on money saving tips(investments/credit etc..) I am about to graduate an don't want to spend my life paying bills, I want to pay myself first and be able to travel. I feel bad I'm 28 an don't even have a passport. But oh i will travel and i will send you picks when i do lol...
I so agree with shopping at Marshalls and thrift shops. When I foun out how much money I could save and look good too, how I could and stil will buy a $10 top and then find a pair of Adrienne Vittadini shoes or some other name brand at Marshalls, or how I could afford a designer bag, because I cut back on frivolous spending, girl it was a wrap.
Too bad for your friend that people had that much power to make him end his life forever. Go to school with power? Your clothes have no power, resale value, or nothing. Get power by getting a quality education and working hard. A good rep comes from showing good character, not the clothes you wear. Look inside yourself, develop yourself, love yourself. Childish acting kids? hahhahaha
If you are a part of a credit union that is also an excellent way to build your credit becasue it helps you two fold....One....the payments from the loan are taken directly out of your checkin account so you KNOW you are going to pay that loan off....if you stay employed at the company..and Two...because its a bank loan too, you are showing your credit worthiness...I LOVE credit counseling!!!
But tonya i wear expensive clothes for me because if i go to school wearing raggedy clothes people might laugh and belittle my self esteem and one of my friends committed suicide because of what people said about him!!
And i know my mom cant afford the clothes i have but i want to be able to go to school with power and a good rep so i can do good at school without childish acting kids talking about me..
#1: If the clothes are not expensive, they are raggedy? You can werar good quality, named brand clothes at inexpensive pirces if you know where to shop.
#2: Self esteem is what you know about yourself, that's why is is SELF esteem. Never give anyone the power to determine how good or unworthy you are.
Your happiness begins and ends with you.
#3: If your mom cant afford the clothes you have, who buys them? If you are a teen, get an afterschool job and buy your clothes to help your mom!!!!
lol yeah i was thinkin that! Tonya u like the "beefy type" guys but it's almost impossible to find a really muscular dude with the kind of intelligence and vibe that will compliment you. Good Luck!
You are a blessing and Im an only child but youre my sister in my head I really listen to you and practice what you preach because its positive and beneficial.
I'm glad my parents saved money for me and my bro for college. There both accountants and i always had to learn the value of the dollar because they weren't from this country so i guess they had a different mentality.
Yeah I eventually got it, which is SO ODD, bcz I had JUST said ct. in the prior sentence, but I said Karat... and I should have brought that forward to Carat... but theres always so MUCH going on around and both in and out side of my own mind.
Maybe you get better straight legged results when you're wearing shoes.
Saving money, being healthy, and willfully abstaining from risky social behaviors are traits of prudence that require great willpower from most of us.
Tonya got in her gangster push ups, who cares if they were laughing just think of it as them cheering you on LOL
Black people definately are the one's who need to save money, we like to spend our money on foolishness and wonder why so many of us are in poverty living off gov't checks. I feel it's a tradition passed down, the parents don't teach their children to save they always are ready to buy a baby some new shoes which they'll grow out and clothes etc. We need to invest in education.
Very intelligent, sensible, practical advice on money, style, how to attract the right person, investing in yourself, and knowing where your real worth exists! You're awesome, Tonya! Thank you for knowing who you are, and for sharing yourself with the world!
Hey Diffie, I appreciate your comment. I was just on another channel a few hours ago and someone was criticizing me saying there is no real substance on my channel just a bunch of eye manipulation and body shots, and I'm like wtf? I try to drop some sort of science every day, and its interesting that you picked up on the different points of reference discussed in this video. We talk about a lot here. If others cant see that then its really a shame on them.
One way that I am able to save is buy buying silver and gold. Physical, precious metals, commodities not jewelry. You are less likely to sell your investment but at the same time its just about as liquid as you can get besides cash. You can also play the market with it and make a few extra dollars along the way.
I dont know "T"! I assume its a lack of knowledge. Maybe I should not have put in the part about playing the market but this is a commodity, not a company and it never decay.
If there is a negative to this please respond, educate me:)
Awesome vid. I really like CDs they are good for when you are saving or setting money aside. I also like to set up special accounts for things. I have an account called the santa account which was originally for a xmas trip has percent of $ come out every check.. I dont see it I dont miss it and it continues to gain!! Great vid Tonya!
OMG TONYA its not just the bronx. lol but Smh.. the pool by riverpark towers is hell but I've heard horrible things from people all over ny and beyond.
I heard there are ways to download it to your eye-pod (smile) and listen to it / watch it while you're walking, riding the train, driving or working out :-D
Another good money saving tip is to convert all loose dollars to a $100 bill- most people hate to break a hundred.
