Women of Different Salaries Describe How $50K Would Change Their Life | Glamour

[SchaSdancelikenobodyiswatching]

Wow” it didn’t change anything” honestly what I aspire to say one day😭😭

[akualikewater]

This video shows that it is harder to save when most of your income goes to necessary things you need to survive: housing, food, etc.

[xsux]

Wow... 50'000 didn't change anything... then that must be a lucky lady. This seems like so much money to me 😯

[yeahisaidit]

This really shows the difference income makes. I know money can’t buy happiness but it can buy freedom.

[lacrymosa]

Goal in life for 50k not to change anything

[Demifan]

Yassss to that lady who would build an basement apartment and rent it out make more money I was thinking the same thing

[kirstineeibyeelgaardchrist]

Well, obviously 50k wouldn't change a single thing if you earn 550k/year... *bitterness incoming*

[officiallyanamika]

I was just happy to see the confidence in them as the number (income) grew larger!

[DetectiveGesicht]

It would all go straight into paying mom's medical bills. I'd still have 50k left to owe. So, it would simultaneously help and... Not change anything. *Steps off soapbox, hops back on hamster wheel*

Why people have a problem with the last lady I don't think she was showing off. I would love to be a business owner one day to the point that receving so much as 50G does not affect my bottom line because I am that financially stable. #Goals

This is so real. I'm a student with a low salary part time job talking with a female journalist (my cousin) works for a famous magazine. To her, iphone X is cheap but to me its a treasure that I've never get it and then I feel like my life is a trash. Depression hit me but somehow its also a motivation. You go girls!

[CelaMarr]

I’d put 50, 000 into stocks like come on ppl

[KarunyaSabapathy]

Man, it's crazy for me to see this many different occupations and salaries. I feel like I was raised to consider being a doctor, lawyer or engineer as the only viable careers to earn a reliable salary. I didn't know half of these careers could provide the salaries they do. I mean an executive producer making $300, 000/yr at 29?! That's inspiring. I wish these were the things I was shown prior to entering college.

[Desiraymershani]

I really appreciated this video. I enjoyed the fact that you included the job title. Helpful for peers in the industry and young women looking into their future career. Can you do another video with a similar concept but by state? Starting with FL 😎

[jas.a]

Hey Glamour! Nothing makes me happier and healthier than when you make videos about money. The more we can openly talk about money, the more we can realistically understand what to do with it when we do or do not have it. With this, we get to see how money impacts attitudes but also how attitudes could impact money. More of these, please! Thank you.

[thynguyen]

You just feel things are expensive when your salary is low...

[iwilitu]

I was literally with a calculator to get their monthly wages

[clarica]

I was literally just looking at the salaries trying to figure out which job I will be trying to get

[elizaheathen]

"this recently happened to me and it really didn't change anything"

goals honestly

[SamIAm]

Just goes to show you that tax cuts for the rich and top earners do not do anything for the economy. They don't spend the money, or pay down debt. They usually save it and while everyone likes more $$$ it does not make as much of an impact on their life as the money would on people who earn far less.
