i know you are as shocked as i am with the savings in this video 🫣 how did we like the format of talking in different parts of my apt??
Girl! Remember how I said I couldn’t afford an apartment in your last video’s comment section; I just heard back for an apartment I CAN AFFORD!!!! I give you credit to help me manifest this 🥰🥰🥰
i LOVE THIS FOR YOU!!!
I was born and raised here and I’m glad seeing other poc New Yorkers on youtube. Because there’s been so much influencers moving here for the aesthetic and I feel like they’re trying to make it a mini LA
agreed! trying to bring the representation i never saw :)
Agreed! I’m from the Bronx and influx of people moving here terrified me. I didn’t think I could afford to leave home and stay in the city
I'm so confused mini in terms of what? NYC has larger population than LA
@@jasminek6632mini in terms of influencers i think, since even though LA has a smaller population it’s known as an influencer hub
I think they meant a mini influencer scene? @@jasminek6632
I love how she is in every room in her place giving this advice 😃😂🔥
glad you caught that!!
Moving to NYC in a couple of months, all your NYC related videos have been super informative and helpful. Thank you!
i'm so glad! good luck 💖
How it work ? with so many people moving out
I really love your videos, it really reflects the life of the average new yorker. It's very realistic. I'm leaving the military and moving back to NYC to my own place and your videos are really helpful. Thanks Mohuya!
that means so much. thank you and good luck! ✨
I love how down to earth you are. I still love that red bag u bought that you used in Paris. Thank u for these amazing vlogs
❤️❤️
Damn Mohuya, you brought the smack down on unnecessary spending. I had no idea we were wasting so much money. Honestly at first I felt like sh!t when you were explaining how hidden costs are eating away at our savings but now I feel enlightened and my eyes are opened!
i'm so glad!! 💖
You are stunning!!!! And I love how much good and to the point info you’re sharing!
thank you so much!! ❤️
Outstanding video on your savings. You have inspired me to take advantage this year on the free places to go.
so excited for you!! you will love it 💖
Just subscribed! I love how honest you are about NYC! I feel especially relatable to you because you are a woman of color.
I’m trying to be realistic out here as someone with a dream of living in nyc but with a nightmare of going broke.
thank you so much
I'm an immigrant in Montreal Canada and I wanna say you are an inspiration!!!!
ahhh thank you 🥹💖
Very informative 👏🏾idk what it is but it’s something about your delivery different from most NYC tubers
where in nyc is 1700 a momth? Queens? what areas do you recommend?
You look like a model here. Love looking at apartment with you since I can’t drive there.
aww thank you 💖
this was so helpful!!!😭❤️
I work in SF(worked around Bay Area) for about 10 years, and I'm so fckin guilty of going out on Fri (and Sat, and some Sundays) with da crew and with my boys.... I also eat out every fck lunch, and get coffee/bfast at Starbucks or coffee/cafe before work. don't do what I did kids, and you'll save 2.5-4k/yr. easilyyyy. It was only during covid I came to my senses and realized how stupid I was with my spending/finances. I really regret being lazy, not packing lunch/coffee for work, not having 'free' coffee at work, and just not being mindful wasting money to get pickled on Fridays. I would guess probably 10k-18k down the toilet on the low-end (19-22k on the high side) when working in the city. sheesh :(
I don't live in NYC but I do live in a bigger city so this was so useful to me! Any tips on how to tell parents as the eldest brown daughter that I want to stay at my own place at 22 after my lease ends? I'm going to be working and everything but they want me to stay at their house :( it's really bad for my mental health and I'm struggling to put up boundaries because of the gaslighting. Thank you for being such an inspiration to independent unmarried brown women 😊
Racist comment. This is advice for independent, unmarried & brown women. Ok.
Move out. I am doing it to nyc at the end of the month
These tips are alll reminders for me to not be a spend thrift 💖
I'm moving to NYC from Colorado in less than a week and I love your vids! I've heard a lot of negative things about ClassPass (e.g., terrible customer service, points being worth less over time, places you book with not recognizing your ClassPass booking, etc.) have you had any issues with it?? very hesitant to try it because I've also heard about people being charged for the "free" trial and jumping through so many hoops to cancel it
I am still looking for a place with utilities and water etc included this was very informative thank you . the apartment hunt in NYC is alot
Fantastic video! Great job!!! Greetings from the EU!
i live near hmaburg, one of the very expensive citys in germany. 30 minutes with train. why would anybody want to live directly in the big city when the outskirts near the big citys are almost everytime more affordable
Hello from Berlin. I Like you video so much and how you explain it. It' s so interesting and i didn' t knew that live is so expensive in NYC. So for me is impossible to visit or live in NYC. But you are so good in saving money. I also save have a lot of money with my life-style because the prices for energy and heating going Up now. And we have now a high Inflation rate Here from 6%. For example i Bake my own Bio bread.
would love to visit berlin one day!! thank you ❤️
Yes, you should do it. Berlin is a super beautiful City and we have so many museums and exhibitions, you would love. And we have also a lot of beautiful parks, lakes and interesting Locations and the History of the cold war you should have seen. And the best Thing for you is: It IS so much cheaper. For example a bear in the Supermarkt next to my House IS only O,5 Euro. You can buy a Museum card for Not even 50 Euros and then you can Go to nearly all museums for free. Potsdam IS Not far away . Maybe you have Heard about Sanssouci. Come. And If you need a Guide i can do this Job for you, No Problem. But you should Go in Summertime between June and September. ❤
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
I spend $1300 a month on all my bills and food living in NYC but I’m pinching pennies (couponing, chasing sales, saying no to a lot of events) so it’s possible but definitely requires sacrificing
it's tough out here
$1300 is ridiculous small for NYC. Hats off to you! You are doing incredible but surely you can increase your lifestyle a little if you want. The average salary in NYC would allow you to spend more than that surely? Are you saving up for a big purchase or something? 💕
@@leahmcdermott4189 retirement 😂 I’m trying to retire by 55. Salary is not that high, $60k minus taxes (which are KILLER in NYC)
alot of this is just growing up and being smart about things. I see so many of these videos that are young people living in trendy areas and overextending their finances.
Yes Uber and Lyft are expensive in NYC. I was only visiting for 3 days in spend $600 on transportation alone 🙃😩
that's how they get ya 😭😭
Awesome video. Do you live in the NYC metro area like Jersey or you live in the boroughs?
Practical ideas
Can You please Tell us How to work on cultural/generational Trauma?😅
Waiting for next update
watch my recent video on 10 money mistakes I made in NYC for more hacks!
5:30 you probably should’ve not said that lol
I love your advise, but I'm scared of bed bugs so I don't go to the library anymore
So what’s your salary… 🧐
❤❤
Are You Bengali ?
yes!
Exquisite 💯
Am from UK really keen on moving to NYC but two things I might be put off is cold weather and cost of rent to live in a decent place
