People in America are so obsessed with staying home that they miss out on so much in life, it’s okay to not spend hundreds on a dinner but don’t constantly miss out on an occasional coffee or quick simple meal with friends and loved ones. Relationships are very important but it doesn’t mean your life has to be void of every thing.

As a New Yorker from The Bronx, I have to be very cautious how much I spend in the city. It all depends on the week, going in person to work, and how much I go outside to be honest. Thank you for being transparent. You do spend a reasonable amount. It’s still a lot, but welcome to NYC, especially in the tourist areas🥲!
I like that you have the discipline to keep everything clean and sleek. Makes you more organized and productive.

That makes no sense cuz 100% would be getting it for free but if you stay home then you just get nothing
Also, the monthly metro card covers unlimited train rides for the month. I think you did a good job with the spending for the week. Great vid as always man!
Obsessed with your vibe. Fellow tech worker in NY here 🫡
Sick content bro! A fashion inspo vlog as much as a tech vlog, keep it up 🙌🏼

Just stumbled upon this video and it was great! One thing I noticed is an apartment outside the view of your window and realized you live literally a block away from me! We even shop at the same target 😂 I’m not sure if you’ve done a neighborhood tour so I’ll keep the area to myself. If you have though, I’m always looking for new places to check out!

appreciate the transparency! You say we a lot do you split the costs together?
I don't even want to calculate how much I spend daily, weekly, monthly or yearly... I might cry Bay Area living and born and raised! I miss the days when $20 got you a whole meal, sandwich at the mom & pop store, chips, juice and the 2 for a $1.00 candies mannn take me back 90s 😅

Sup Gyasi! I'm a Mechanical engineer from Sweden! I truly love the New York area and I'd really like to move there in the near future. Do you have any recommendations on jobs or even where to start looking to be able to find something so that I can make the move to the states? Keep up your good work!!
Hey. Great video: Kitsume usually tells me no laptops. Were they okay with it when you worked there?
Peaches is FLAME brah, dine in is better than take out there.
hi! first time watching your video. love it! does your friend have a website for his film picture?
Great video as always I don’t think that is to terrible any words of wisdom or tips as to finding your passion currently completing my Google certificate for IT to attend WGU for my bachelors I always enjoyed working with computers at a younger age starting from 6th grade playing Oregon trail on a macintosh computer playing doom or wolfenstein on windows lol yeah I’m that old lmao but I guess it’s never to late to start over in life did debt collections for 16+ yrs but after being diagnosed with anxiety and depression my career choices flipped on me wanting to do something different I’m sure it makes sense to you anyways sorry for the long spiel keep up the great blogs appreciate ya
I really hope that you see this message but where did you get your kitchen table from? I need one that size for my apartment.
Try icelandic yogurt its my favorite. Way better than Greek!
Nahhh $1k a week is crazyy. Love that you livin life tho
For sushi 🍱 that is expensive but typical. In Atlanta, you get two more pieces for 17.00 🤷🏽♀️. First thing I thought was “why is sushi so expensive? there’s nothing expensive in it.” 🤦🏽♀️
damn the subway monthly cost used to be $120 now its $175 ? damnnn great video as always
😨 I’m in Latin America I’m looking for a 2.5k USD monthly gross payment, but you spend almost 1k USD in a week that’s crazy

It's funny how no one has corrected the fact that it's actually 127 for a unlimited monthly MetroCard 😂.

How did Café kitsune allow u to use your laptop? I used it and they told me I had to close it as it’s a laptop free Café
Wow, $4000 in monthly expenses plus $5000 in rent = $108k per year. If I was working remotely I would move to the countryside but you obviously love NY.

The branded KZread we want. Although I never know what to say about the social infrastructure for African American s in stem and pathways that are sustainable for them throughout their lifespan. Like I had to look and it seems like not enough. Like from my limited understanding of web2 and web3 like in the med space where are the doctors, pharmacist, conglomerates for black Americans. I found i believe jasmine green md or phd. And that took years. And also dr. Dorothy e. Roberts. But even as i navigate mental health space it’s difficult to find mental health professional s who are African American.
Hey youtube subscriber here. I was just wondering if you could give me tips or pointers going into tech I am 18 years old, in Scotland 🏴 and I will be starting university in September studying computer science. Do you have any tips in general for that specific first 1-2 years while studying that area? Also down the line I want to transition into cyber security. My main goals are to get really good in that cyber area, and to earn lots and lots of money. Would you have any tips for me so I can get ahead of the field, or achieve these goals the early as possible. Many thanks, aaron

I’m just coming to the end of my cs degree in the UK and finishing the top of my course. If I could do one thing different, I’d apply for a summer internship for the summer between year 1 and 2. The FAANG internships open around 12 months before you’d be due to start, i.e. if you wanted to apply for one for summer 2024, you’d have to apply this summer. Other than that, master your main procedural programming and object oriented programming modules in first year and that will set you up well. Bonus: if you have a placement year, apply for a company you’d like to work at as a graduate because they’ll probably give you a grad offer. You got this mate 👊

Monthly pass is 127, not 175
I thought paying $30 for Wendy's once on Ubereats was too much wtf!!
Cooking is good and enjoying yourself out is fine. The Ubereats DoorDash and taking Ubers is way too much. 50.51 dollars for Wendy’s 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
