What I Spend in a Week Living in NYC *as a 25 year old* 💸

Hi friends! This took AGES to edit but it's finally done ~ I tried to give the most accurate representation of my week and how much I spend day by day - It's definitely not lavish, but definitely a realistic look into what I really spend living and working in NYC ft. a few weekends and days in my life as a software engineer :)

hope everyone’s having a great start to the weekend 🥰

wow you actually spend so much less than all those other vloggers in nyc 💸 kudos to u for being smart with ur money!! great video as always 🙂

[bluezklewz]

This actually feels realistic and helpful. Most of these types of videos people do it on days they have extravagant expenses which totally ruins the idea. Yes things come up (like the bday kbbq dinner) but doing it on a day you're buying new camera now.

Also love the subway tracking, ever since they switched to the capped rate i wouldve just taken that and divided it per day but to see it costs $5.50 to go anywhere in NYC hits differently and makes you think.

2 to 3 times a week going climbing/bouldering is good for now because at the beginning you have to strengthen the joints in your hands and it takes longer to strengthen than muscles. Great vlog as always!

Investing in the gym seems so valuable!! I think it’s important to always have at least 1 non basic life expense is so important

The graphic work in this video just made it 10x better! I live in Dubai and has no plan to move to NYC, but your video is a treat to my eyes ✨

[LindaThao]

Relaxing while watching my fave Sarah's NYC life! 💖

Coming from a culture where the birthday celebrant treats everyone. This really surprised me. This is also why when its our birthdays we hide from everyone.

[meganleg]

ok but seriously well done on your spending, that takes skill!! and the climbing?? you are so good!!!!

[xmhcix]

[imaturtle]

I love this video!! Can you please make a PLANT video?? I'm a plant mama too and I love your plants! especially if you could do a video showing your props and how you repurpose your onion scraps! thank you🥰

Even though I live outside of NYC(about 30min) I live in Ct, it’s CRAZY EXPENSIVE HOW MUCH I SPEND IN A DAY IN NYC! I can’t imagine living there😢

[OPauloJunior]

Now i can have lunch. Thanks for the video😄

[milospotykievic]

It was interesting to see the weekly breakdown, im glad you included rent and electricity and such aswell, crazy that even though you save on some parts it still comes out to 700 dollars a week lol NYC is quite expensive

[sparklewink]

it's wild how living in nyc, cooking at home was cheaper for me but when i moved to california eating out was INFINITELY cheaper (i got the spreadsheets to back it up haha!)

[bujowithzozo]

Soooo jealous of all the free food in the tech world AH ✨

great video as always though, it was really interesting to see your spendings!

[justmagss]

@TheGrahamStephanShow This is one I'd love to see your opinion on! It's refreshing to see someone who has more realistic spending vs other youtubers!

[luluxwang]

My biggest expense is definitely rent too 🥲 thank u for sharing your budget!!
