How much it actually costs to live alone in NYC

Thank you for showing this video so much love 😭♥️ will be doing a q&a in the near future so let’s connect on Instagram! @julia.fei instagram.com/julia.fei?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

$4,500 a month is not terrible for living in New York City!! Especially since you make a good amount from your job. The fact that you have money left for savings and you budget that good is great most older people struggle with that. This inspires me as a young 21 yr old to be like this by 25

12:42 - "You could do the math and multiply by 4". Girl, I multiplied by 52 to figure out your whole year. For New York City, you are keeping your costs EXTREMELY reasonable. Well done!

Wow I actually found this really informative and I like how you mentioned the fact that you worked hard to be able to afford all of this today! So motivated to work myself up after watching this😭

This is actually reasonable for NYC and if you're working in tech, you have the luxury of spending to this extent without having to worry for the most part so ur fine

This seems super reasonable! You're doing a great job of balancing being frugal and enjoying being in the city :) I really love the idea of planning days where you don't eat out. And a random tip—I also have Adobe CC, and have always been able to get a decent discount when my renewal comes around by simply going through the cancel account flow—they usually have a few offers before you actually cancel where I've saved like $20 a month on that subscription.

Don’t judge yourself about your budget, nor let others’ judgement get to you! You’ve earned it, and you know how to live your life best. 💸💸 Probably it’s different for you, but living within an Asian family and as a first gen I had to learn for myself that there’s a lot more to money and life than just “saving for rainy weather” or for some future that we have no control over. Proud of you for having a solid control of your finances and living life the way you want it!!

Love the transparency. Guess it's time to recalculate my own weekly living cost and probably cry in solidarity.

Takeaway form thos week is WORK HARD to afford your means and lifestyle. And shout out to Julia for being so transparent and truthfull. Loved this video and love tour channel!

this inspired me to keep a log of my expenses!! I keep telling myself to but never got a chance. thanks Julia!

I really like this because it’s very relatable. Not always are you buying your food, you can also cook & stay at home so I really relate to that ☺️ thanks for sharing! Enjoy NY! I always hear it’s a great food city sooo there’s a lot for you to enjoy! 🥳

Late to this but I really hope many who want to move watch your videos. You perfectly articulated what they need to hear and understand. Most importantly is that you put a percentage in savings! I love my city so much but it kills me and breaks my heart to see the fiscal irresponsibility messes people get in to just to live here. ❤️

Very insightful! Thank you Julia for sharing with us and for breaking down your expenses. Very helpful.

Julia, I absolutely adore your videos. My husband proposed to me in NY city, so it holds such beautiful memories. Your vlog style is so authentic and out of so many NY vloggers, I only watch you. The music you use in your videos, and sharing the beautiful food and beverages you enjoy, makes it so easy to imagine myself back in NY. On a side note, i was so impressed with how you dealt with your accident. Keep up the fab work on your channel! I look forward to your posts on Thursdays! Fyi- your taste in clothing rocks! Bye from Canada! 🇨🇦🍀💸

This video was great! Honestly I live in NYC and I spend waaayy over my budget but I noticed a lot of the spending is mainly going out to eat or drinks! That’s where the most money gets spent in general (aside from bills) If you choose free activities and bring your own food or cook at home a lot you will save a ton of money (learning to do that now)

Excited for you!! You're doing it 🧡 first time watcher here

Julia, not only are you beautiful, but you are extremely intelligent, wise, articulate and talented. You are truly living your best life right now. I enjoy watching your channel. Thanks for sharing.
