I refuse to believe a 20 something in LA is spending less than $200 a month on entertainment

She's Australian not American so maybe she just has different priorities. She paid cash for her car her side gig is video editing probably on a Macbook which she also already paid for. Not a bad set up if you can afford it.

Besides her 9-to-5, Parkinson spends up to 15 hours a week working on freelance video editing projects. She charges $20-$30 an hour and the side hustle earns her an extra $5,000 a year after taxes.


She's way ahead of the game compared to most people her age, especially considering she has considered a budget at all, not just see all money in her account as disposable income.

So you’re telling me that a 22 year old living in one of the most ritzy cities in the world doesn’t leave her apartment outside of working hours ever?

I don’t and will never buy that

If you read between the lines, it's all family money. Parents paid for college and she used "graduation money" to pay for a $17k car. I don't know about you, but I didn't get that kind of scratch for graduating from college.
