This video was very insightful! Would you be able to do one for a month? I realize that might be a longer video, but I feel like it would make the results a bit less skewed :) Thanks for the great content!

[zDhappy]

thanks miki for this breakdown of your weekly expense. I am a nurse myself and I got mortgage to pay for too. This help me realize that now tah I am older, my expenses are higher too.

I like how you and Kevin don’t nickel and dime each other
I also like how much gratitude you have when Kevin pays for dinner rather than thinking that’s the least he can do

Love how transparent you are! I live in the Philippines, but I really enjoy your finance vids as I’m about to start my first ever job later this month! Thanks for all the tips ❤

miki, i know this is such a simple video - but it brings me so much joy. it's like talking to a friend! i discovered you when i was still in high school and it's crazy you're 27 now (i'm also a bit older).

anyways, you're part of the crowd of creators who inspired me to create my own channel. keep it up!!

Ridiculous how people keep comparing their lives to her life. She is a nurse + influencer, w a doc bf. They both work harder than most of us also. So obviously she can afford a more expensive life than 90% of uf. 🙄🙄🙄…

I love these finance February videos!! I love learning about managing finances and investing and becoming content creator from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Thank you Miki for sharing transparently. I missed the 10 out of 10 out-tro!
It’ll be more accurate to budget a week based on a typical week without friends visiting and the ski trip, it probably won’t add up as much.

Love these type of videos, keep up the good work! ❤❤

Hey Miki, please speak at one of our meetings for our student nurses association at my campus! We love you ❤.

Damn, $18.99 USD for parking! I worked at a hospital and parking was $4 - $5 per use and I was working 12 hr shifts (for reference that is $3 - $4 USD).

Woahhh it's shocking how much your mortgage is in comparison to the costs in my country. The mortgage of our house (2 story home with an attic, 3 bedrooms, bathroom and large garden) is around 700 per month.

Including the meals / food which Kevin paid for and divide up the grocery / electricity bills etc would be a more accurate representation of your monthly expense… unless you’re looking at “ household / family “ expense.

I, myself spend around 200 -255 per month. But if and when I do decide to that’s a diff question. 😅😅

[pbthefirst]

I’m surprised Kevin doesn’t contribute to the mortgage partially. Thanks for sharing! Made me want to treat myself to some good sushi:)

[yinalfonso]

Crazy how cost of living really varies from where you are. FR with that amount i could live a bit comfortably for A MONTH where i live.

[MrSaaadpanda]

I would prefer if you just showed us what you spend on a week on average so we can get a better baseline. Also do you happen to track this on a spreadsheet? if so would you be able to show us or have a template to share? Other than that I just wanted to say thank you for sharing.

Is it a norm to pay for birthday parties you’re invited to in the US on top of birthday gifts? Kevin’s friends are flying to Seattle (video mentioned none of them is based in Seattle). On top of flight tickets, they also have to pay $1, 300+ among themselves not including birthday gifts? Why.

[kylakimber]

I loved this video. It showed me I definitely spend a lot of money on groceries.

[happydogclub]

I love it so much when you say we are 10 out of 10 ❤👍🏻
