Millennial Money: Living On $100K A Year In Boston | Millennial Money

[nso]

What a generous, level-headed and respectable guy. Refreshing to see someone with his attitude these days.

[ANonyMouse]

Makes 100k, spends 33k, that's pretty good savings.

[Y_Canada]

This young man is very smart with his money. His rent is reasonable, his grocery bill isn't too high, he built his own business, and he actually gives back! He's smart, successful and kind. And he lives way below his means, so it's fair to say he's humble and doesn't see money as a way to show off. It's amazing when people aren't focused on materialistic things, but rather wish to help others. He's a nice and empathetic person. I wish him all the very best.

[DerDudelino]

Impressive guy. I know a lot of folks making more than a 100K a year but none donates 600 USD a month. That's a lot.

[notneo]

Trevor's that one kid in class that always questions the teacher's answers 😂

[igore]

0:17 “I’m a single guy”
3:48 “my girlfriend”
What??
Does your girlfriend know you’re single?

[chrislanejones]

Make that money off those Harvard trust fund babies. That a boy!

[TheHalfSum]

Just before this video blows up:

For Cambridge, 825 in rent probably means he lives in a three bedroom with 2 other roommates and it definitely doesn't include electricity. That house he walked out of in the beginning is a 2 or 3 family and it would probably sell for at least 1.7m+ in the current market depending where in Cambridge it is.

[Y_Canada]

I'm a financier and YES, non-business people get quite upset and surprised when I openly talk about money. It's a finance thing, all my business- and finance-trained friends are perfectly fine talking about money, their personal financial decisions, their problems, etc. Others get weirded out.

[planetChristie]

And the part “I’m actuallly a terrible employee” 😭

[SamanthaMac]

This is great and all but can they make a video about the majority of millennials who are barely making $40, 000/year? Like how are they living geez

[nkwari]

Women need to listen to him: Charge people more for the work you do. We under-charge.

[maxsanandreas]

Why asking someone what's their rent is weird?? That's a pretty normal question to ask

[jackof]

$825 is insanely cheap for Cambridge. You can’t find a studio for under $1k and even a 5 bedroom dump in Central Square is going to be at least $800 per person

[oco]

He's doing great and giving back. Big ups to him. PS. Asking people what thier rent is... is not a weird question. Please ask that question all the time.

[Tunechi]

Never seen someone with such self awareness. "I'm a terrible employee"😭😭

[DavidNunezPNW]

I want to be friends with him, he seems like he could make me a better person by simply being his friend.

[StefanThyron]

I think Graham Stephen would approve of this one

[kadaejamccray]

He’s reminds me of Steve from blues clues . Don’t ask me why 🤣

[wildflower]

So nice to see a responsible, generous young person who is so self aware.
