Living On $32K A Year In Cincinnati, OH | Millennial Money

[FinancialShinanigan]

Omg, it's not an influencer making $10, 000 an hour teaching us how to sell online courses!

[cjusino]

Finally someone making a regular average salary. More videos like this. More realistic

[nicolettemannella]

Not sure how many times we need to tell cnbc that 22 year olds aren’t millennials- but, this was a great interview and loved seeing her story!

[sha_na]

This segment was refreshing to see and true to life - a young professional with a common starting salary! CNBC - produce more of this type of content.

[DanielleKocher]

Love how she allows herself to spend on things that make her happy like yoga and pottery while still saving money, and love what she does for the doggies!♥️

[KeniaClaus]

Wow! I’m impressed by her, at 22 I was no where as financially savvy as her. She is going to do very well in this regard, go girl👏🏾

[nathanwininger]

As someone who personally knows her she is a loving and caring person who truly trys to live life to the fullest! The one month snapshot of her budget is not a great indicator of her spending because she definitely doesn't spend more than she saves. Cincinnati is a fantastic city and it was great we are represented by someone like Aspeyn!

[URBANNEWZ]

Fellow Cincinnatian here! Love to see it! You’re such a bright and creative soul. Wishing you nothing but the best!

[daviddaviedavidson]

She’s very relatable...without the wearing shoes in bed part ❤

[mazdaohio]

She is 22 years old. That’s so young and to only be getting “help” on her cell phone (which is most likely a family plan) is impressive. She reimburses her dad for healthcare. This young lady is rocking it in life and is very achievable for a lot of people her age. She lives in a low cost apartment in an area with a lower cost of living (Ohio). She has a budget and follows it. She has no credit card debt. She even budgets for her pleasures like coffee, yoga, and pottery. I wish I was like her when I was her age. The only thing she needs to be doing is saving for retirement. The earlier you start the more money you’ll have because of compound interest and the magic of time. Even if she sets aside $50 a month in a Roth IRA, she will be set in retirement. She is so successful!

[ronbaltazar]

It's okay if she's not earning a lot of money for now. She's only 22 and is doing what she loves most which is working with animals.

[trailerhaul]

It is always refreshing to see someone doing what they love even though the money earned is not a lot by today standard. And she is a responsible adult.

[CASD]

She seems so humble and sweet. She's on the right track and I know she's going places. *edit - grammar.

[johnlabuzetta]

Great video!! She should be proud of herself. I wish I had the wisdom she has at her age. We love animals too and never heard of this profession. You go girl!! More of these on this topic will be great 😃 We can all use the information and inspiration during this tough time in our economy.

More of this please CNBC. Not more of YouTubers and so called 'influencers'

[Laughandsong]

I visited Cincinnati a few years back and it's a really good city. Great museums and restaurants. Transit is so so though.

[GrandNebSmada]

As an Ohioan its honestly mind-boggling to me how people don't see this as normal

[Hi-nzxu]

Finally a Gen Z with a realistic, positive view on life! 32, 000 a year in a career she loves is amazing! Cincinnati is affordable and thriving. She decided happiness and a debt free comfortable life over the get rich quick influencer ideologies most people her age abide by.

[danwohlslagel]

Grateful for people like her who devote their lives to helping animals- there isn't alot of money to be made but it absolutely makes a huge difference for the animals who would otherwise be overlooked.

[maxaudi]

Amazing and inspiring and she has a whole life ahead of her. God bless!
