- RIP my wallet, lost to taxes 🙏
I decided to track a week of my spending! I used to track my spending really well as a grad student since my money was much more...restricted...but since I started working fulltime again I've kind of abandoned it....do you track your spending? Maybe I should pick it up again hehe
This was a really normal week for me I think!! Let me know if you'd like to see a month or something! Do you find this expensive or cheap? Let me know down below in the comments 🤗

What I Spend in Tokyo as a 27 Year Old Office Worker | Groceries, Taxes, Cost of Living
My last video as a 27 y/o because I turned 28 yesterday 😵💫!!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!
Happy birthday for yesterday 😀🎉🎉🎊
Happy birthday Allison for yesterday 🥳🎂
Happy Birthday, 22nd!
Hope 28 brings exciting adventures!! 🎉
Happy Birthday Allison 🎉
"I have no responsibilities and I do what I want." Legitimately that sounds amazing haha!! Great vid and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :3
Excellent idea for a video! Think it would be interesting to see how much you pay for rent, utilities, etc. Keep up the great work 👏😎
Measuring the absolute cost, the city I live in is actually a tiny bit more expensive than Tokyo, even though it is actually still pretty cheap for a German town of largeish size. There is an online tool you can use to calculate your cost to live in different places, which we used to find that out. However, after seeing that the average income of an engineer is about half as much in Japan, Tokyo quickly seems quite expensive again.
Tokyo is one of the cities with the greatest income inequality in Japan.
Probably on minimum wage they will spend most of their income on rent and food.
But, well, it's also a city where you can make money if you have the skills to earn a high income.
Because it's the capital and economic centre of Japan.
Happy birthday Allison 🥳🎈, my birthday was Sept 7, I turned 30 i have 2 years on you.
Visiting the konbini that often doesn't surprise me really, it's super convenient and you're certainly not the only one! Damn do miss the late familymart visits... I spend way more than that equivalent on food and fun out here really, this just seems super liveable!
Happy Birthday! 🎉 would love a video about montly expenses! Not sure what everyone else thinks but would be great to have the conversion to usd straight away when u show the item and then again at the end when you sum the day. Would help me a lot! 😊
Happy Birthday, wishing you many more 🎉 - also I look forward to moving to Japan after uni so these videos help me get a sense of daily spending and also helps me plan more as I binge your videos 😅
Been binging your videos, love them as I “live” in Tokyo for two months
that's about what we spend as a couple with no pets or kids in Eastern Europe. Gives me hope that we'll manage just fine in Japan 😌 thanks for sharing!
❤ Happy Birthday, Allison!!❤️🎉🥳
Very reasonable and fun,enjoy !
I enjoy watching you 'live your life' your way. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good day
Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
If you didn't already, turn up the battle speed in dragon quest, helped me get through the game so much!!
Happy birthday!! 🎉 Would love to see a monthly spending vlog including bills.
Thanks for your videos,please continue! 2015 was Expensive ❤
Love watching your videos ❤
Love your videos! So chill!
I'm not French, but as an American, I pronounce Croquette as /ˌkrōˈket/. Saying "Crowket", in the manner we typically butcher the correct pronunciation of French words. Also, wishing you a bbelated happy Birthday, Allison!
"I just can't stop getting sweet treats... it really keeps me going through the day" What I say to myself every day 😆
Hi!! I would love a follow up video about rent and stuff :)
Happy birthdayyy!! 🎉🎉🎂
Happy birthday!! And I would be interested to see your expenses for a month too!
お誕生日おめでとうございます。hope you had a great birthday 😊
That residence tax is no joke. Damn.
Happy Birthday 🥳🥳
Happy Belated Birthday Allison! also oof I didn't know there was residential tax, though I guess it makes sense lol
😞😞😞
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Allison! Will your French vacation video be up soon?
Luckily the konbini food is of a higher quality than most American convenience stores.😅
yay ffxiv andcoffee and treats is my fave way to spend
It seems a little expensive however you did get new shoes. Me and my partner live off the equivalent of 45,000 yen per week in New Zealand. Happy birthday ^.^
Fellow internet corespondents: Be advised that Japanese currency, bills/notes were recently replaced with "new" money. So some vending machines, particularly those at filling station only accept the old notes. Seems it costs upwards of a million yen to convert them to accept both the old and new notes. So thanks a million Bank of Japan, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Hi Allison, Awesome video, as usual. Please do the rent and utilities comparison. I think that would be interesting fo ra lot of people. For comparison a 3LDK in Okinawa (Nago) is around 75000 Yen.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉
x0,65 to Ru, but x4 weeks!.. OMG, GDP is good!
Wow very interesting video, I didn't think about the city transportation adding up (I guess I don't know how subway cards work, for some reason i thought it was flat fee 😆) anyway very cool and monthly or quarterly expense video would be really interesting since it sounds like Japan has a lot fees that might be slightly different to what they do in other countries too
Happy Birthday
A Brit male with the grunge look wouldn't dream of paying those prices. A cheaper price is a phone call away or round the corner. 11,000 for a pair of shoes; gimme a break. If I paid 4,000 yen I'd think I'd been ripped off.
As example, a 70cl bottle of Cutty Sark in C... z Home is 980 with tax. In the supermarket the self-same product is 1420 plus tax. OTC medication is a lot cheaper too.

God Frijoles suuucks, I wish we had Chipotle here
Interesting video. But you do have some responsibilities ie: rent and other bills.
I live in tokyo 😊❤
Why do Japanese say 「ランチ」for lunch, and not 「ちゅしょく」? (Same for ‘lunch time’ ?)
What do you save in a week? 🧐 Happy Birthday 🎈
Can you plz make a vid for a rent month cost
That doesn't seem excessive.
What was that first shop with the white plates with blue painting design?
Bill vlog please ❤
Hello, I'm just watching your videos. I am thinking of doing a master's degree in Japan. How long does our work permit last after graduation? Also, was it difficult for you to find a job?
I would be glad if you can answer
You have 6 months to find a job, but it’s common to start looking for a job even over a year before graduation so it’s not too hard if you have qualifications:)
Hi Allison I'll be visiting Kyoto in November and Tokyo+ Kyoto again in January, any recs?
Especially seasonal stuff ☺️
Extravagant has to be your middle name.
Is a residents tax for foreign workers or non-Japanese workers? Is this a type of unemployment benefit if a situation occurs?
Resident tax ("juminzei" or 住民税) is for all those living in Japan and who are eligible to pay. I.e. employed people or people earning a certain amount. It's not just for foreign residents. Depending on whether or not you have to file your own taxes it's either taken out of your salary every month, or you get slips to pay at the convenience store.
If you're an employee at a company, you'll pay something called "unemployment insurance" (雇用保険).
I'm not too sure of the details for taking it out. But I'm pregnant in Japan at the moment, and this insurance will cover my maternity and child care leave once I have my baby.
Can you do a video where you only speak Japanese?
So you said you will compare in dollars, but you ended up with 91000 odd yen.
So compared to your salary, what percentage?
Disappointing video.
Happy birthday! 🎉
