Thank you so much to the CNBC team for this feature!! It was amazing to work with everyone – Bonny, Alex, Ernestine, Beatriz, Jennifer ☻
Feel free to comment any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them!
There's a lot of people that don't attempt to be independent especially when their parents can afford to pay for their college tuition.
I love that she chooses to handle her own finances to pay her own bills/ responsibilities; and choosing not to rely on her parents for everything. Humble, aware, and full of gratitude! Love it.
She’s awesome, point blank period.
She's amazing, I was nowhere near that responsible at her age. Neither were any of my peers in uni, most of us partied on our free time.
Young people of today continue to amaze me. To be able to be disciplined to make sure you are studying, saving, and generating income all at the same time is incredible. You are certainly looking after their future self. I think we so easily use excuses that its not possible to do this or achieve that, but Chloe is a prime example of tenacity and goal setting. Well done
Good for her. She better not ever omplain about life.
21 y/o woman makes 90k/year
“Omg shes a smart, strong, independent woman. Very influential”
21 y/o man makes 90k/ year
“As he should”
Inspiring….🥰
The fact that she wants to save all that money so she can pay for her grad school even though her parents can probably pay all of it, 👏… be my friend
Meanwhile I'm sitting here never owning more than $10k a year, barely surviving at 32.
I know a professional tutor who makes 80k in Naperville, Il. Mostly SAT and college prep. That’s a very good salary…she just has to pay for insurance out of pocket but the flexibility and pay are great for low level of stress.
I doubt she has ADHD but good for her
Your parents still take care of you.😂😂😂
lord I have seen what you do for others….
She does not pay taxes for alll the tutoring 😒
she is making as much as some of her professors.
Lol sjw with pronouns yet dating a white guy. Typical 😂
the fact that she's conscious of her privilege tells you everything you need to know about her
21 and thinking about buying a house. now that is good
I did not know you can work as an international student. will the F-1 visa allows it ?
Privileged
That's a pretty high salary at 21 yo
I collect paper towels and toilet paper from public facilities and use food stamps to save money.
She's extremely humble, self aware and well spoken for such a young woman. Very intelligent and hardworking clearly. Not a lot of people her age can pull off this income while being a full time student 🙏😊
