I was born and raise in New York City and I agree with everything you said, you nail it !!!
Wohoo thanks! ☺️💕
What you said is true for those living in Manhattan, NYC. It is Expensive!!! However there is such a thing as Affordable Housing which the government provides for those who want cheaper living. However, getting those apartments is usually a long waitlist or a lottery. Fortunately my wait time for affordable housing was under 3 years and my one bedroom, which I love is $800 a month and gas/electric included. I am just like you. I do my own nails and in Brooklyn doing nails can be expensive. However, I just get the nail gel which can last for a week or two for $20 and pedicure $15. For tips and other nail styles. It can be pricey. But I keep it simple and mostly do myself at home. I do my hair every two months at the hair salon and I don't put color. So I just pay $80 and that is including tip. My groceries is $120 every two weeks and I don't eat out much since that is expensive and I buy an unlimited monthly Metrocard for $127. However, since I've been working from home during COVID. I saved a ton of money on transportation. In Brooklyn we do have gyms much cheaper. I paid $60 a month for the gym because I love the Zumba and Cycling classes included but stopped going during COVID. However, Brooklyn does have cheaper gyms like Crunch which is $10 a month. So you basically hit it on the nail for Manhattan prices regarding cost of living which to me is one of the most expensive boroughs to live in the five boroughs.
Brooklyn, Queens, etc., are not the "outskirts" of NYC. They are different parts of NYC. As a lifelong NYer who has lived in several boroughs, it's annoying how newcomers think NYC = Manhattan.
Preach it. NYC is not all Manhattan but the 5 boroughs it comprises.
I love NYC but nothing could convince me to shlep my laundry somewhere every time I need to get it done.
The outfit! The makeup! The lighting! The pink couch! I love just about everything about this video. Thanks for sharing! I don't live nor plan to live in NYC in the near future, but I find all videos related to living there so interesting! Maybe it's my subconscious telling me something... hmmmm 🤔
so kind thank you!! and hmmm maybe!! :)
Canada prices:
Rent: 2 bdrm: somewhere around $2,500
Groceries: $300.00 / week ( family costs )
Median housing prices: $800,000 & up ( would mean it's in good shape )
$ 400,000 to $700,000 ( would need work / reno )
Admission to movies: $ 15.00/ person
Really enjoyable video Taylor! It's always so fun learning the ins and outs of living in different cities. :)
so glad you liked it!! and thank you! :)
That's an amazing video! I'll immigrate into New York by January 1th 2023 and I searched soooo long for a video, which shows the expenses and I'm so grateful that you recorded this video. Thank you.
I really love all your videos, I love the way you have decorated your apartment as well. I have been enjoying your vlogs on what you cook in a day and the Trader Joes grocery shopping trips. I have a question, those freezer bags you have been using to put your frozen fruit in , what is the name of those? I would love to buy those. Taylor, I just want to say that your videos really cheer me up , lately I haven't been feeling very good. I really appreciate all of them. Thank you so much for that.
This is crazy helpful. I am also considering staying in Florida. I wish more people made this type of content. Thank you so much.
I do try to cook food but I think that's it's just something about living in the city and having any type of food available at any time that makes me order in so much!
haha great point!! so many options!
Me too, I probably spend like $1800 a month just on ordering food.
I'm from Berlin
And it's kinda like the german NYC
apartments, restaurants etc is super expensive
but the whole vibe of the city is worth living here :)
I’ve visited Berlin but when I was only 16, so would love to go back one day, I hear it’s a great city!
I am moving to Berlin this fall and I am sooo excited!
you seems so nice and kind. Thanks for sharing. It was helpful since I am moving to NY this coming spring.
This was absolutely informative and so useful for anyone considering moving there, thank you, I think we all have a curiosity for a real perspective for different areas in our world, here in California pricing for everyday living is pretty expensive, the central valley is almost as expensive as the bay area which is crazy, enjoying this video taking a little break celebrating earth day in the mountains ⛰ was a pleasure to watch this with the scenery I have🐿🌲🏞💜🐿💜🐿 happy earth day🌎
thanks Miss Lilly! Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Loved the video! Very informative and concise (:
This video is SO helpful!! Thank you so much. I'm looking at apartments in Brooklyn soon :)
Hey Chloe!! that's so exciting!! good luck with the search! Can't wait to see what you pick! :)
@@TaylorMorello thank you so much Taylor! I’m so excited! I’ll keep you updated haha :)
Really cool video thanks for sharing ! I live in Paris and I would say that the cost of living would be quite proportional as NY’s given our median incomes. Very informative for someone like me planning to move there !
Hello from Vancouver bc! 🇨🇦 Love visiting NYC and love your vlogs!
Hello!! thank you so much!
Thank you very much for such an informative video :) I think it's very similar to London prices - may be even cheaper on some categories. However, hair - OMG - that costs a lot for the highlights! What would be the range of salaries you can get in NYC then? Do you have enough to save as a rule of thumb? In London is hard to save...
I don’t comment on videos on TH-cam but you explain very well and clear
This is so helpful, thank you!
First want to say love your dress or is it a blouse its very pretty ,if not rude to ask where did you buy it ? as for cost of living I think its cheaper in Melbourne compared to New York
taylor, your make up is gorgeous in this video! :)
Taylor, that was a great vlog! Really well done & very informational.. thanks for all of the info! I wish I had a Trader Joe's nearby... every time I see one of your videos, I want to buy a whole bunch of flowers there. : )
Dramatics NYC is $150 for cut and partial highlights!! It may be a bit of trial and error to find the right stylist for you but when you do it's great and doesn't break the bank!
Love this!
I live in upstate NY about 1 1/2 hours north of the city. All of the prices are about the same except for the gym memberships. Planet fitness is 30.00 a month, but they don't off any classes, just the weights and other fitness machinery.
You look like an angel 😇 thanks for information, sound crazy expensive when I compare to New Zealand!
your top is stunning! Where did you get that? thanks!
Hello from Russia 🇷🇺 thank you very much for this video, it’s so interesting!!! Very expensive but very beautiful city 🥰 full of energy and a lot of money 😅
Love your vlogs
Thank you for sharing a little of your life and so honestly. I live in Australia, I rent a three bedroom house which is $1230.00 per month, groceries for my family is about $250 - $300 per week, gas and electricity is about $500 per month, wifi unlimited plus phone plus tv is $320 per month. I have a car, which I don’t drive to much so it’s pretty manageable with fuel. We don’t go many places only to take our son to things he loves but I feel we have a great life and are very lucky, a lot more than some. I love how you never seem to take things for granted, you seem to be very down to earth and lovely. Thank you, from our family in Australia 🇦🇺
Of course! Thank you so much for watching :) I LOVE Australia! That's so cool that you live there! What part are you from? :)
@@TaylorMorello I live in a small N.S.W town of Lithgow, The Blue Mountains. It’s a lovely place, kangaroos jump down the road, magpies eat from your hand and beautiful clean air
@@juliemathias8107 that sounds so pleasant! 😍
I would love to move to NYC once I can afford it... as of right now, I live in Copenhagen and I made a video about the cost of living in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago💛
Great info!
Amazing video! Xoxo from Brazil!
Thank you!!
I think you have your costs down pretty well. The only thing that seems a bit high is rent, but not by that much. In Buffalo you can get a smallish place like yours in a decent neighborhood for about $900 plus gas and electric. Those utilities would run about $140/month together. So, you pay about a $1000 monthly premium to live in NYC. Not as much as I would have thought. All other expenses are on par. Excellent video Taylor!?💖
thanks so much! Yes the rent is so high here! Interesting to know the other prices are similar within the state! 😊
You're so beautiful and this video is nice and helpful especially for those who wish to live in New York like me😁😍
Oh wow!! Just watched this video and oh my God how 🤔 pricey it is to live there..mind you you're good with your budget but no way I could do that..thank goodness I lived in Australia and everything here is affordable I guess depending on where you are..I admired you for living there and coping with everything around you and you seem to be happy and contented as well..
Thank you, this was very helpfull.
So glad to hear it! 🥰
Sis, Nice video and good information..!!
Sis, After hearing your video on expensive living i deny to come at New york🎃
Sis, I am pari an Nurse from North east india and recently i got an job offer from New york hospital🙏whereas after hearing of expensive living in New york i become exhausted and dull👌
Damn… that’s actually really expensive, Thank you for making this video 😄 also if you don’t mind me asking just out of curiosity, what’s the average hourly pay in New York City since you said that the pay is generally higher there 😅
Going to visit this city soon in July, excited to see it 🤩🗽🇺🇸
Hi i don't know if you still want the answer, but i would say the average hourly pay is about 21 dollars. Also i hope you have fun when you visit New York in July!
Very professional presentation!
Glad you think so! thank you!!
Great video
whats the name of the nail place? asking for a friend haha
Beautiful shirt and is true the expenses in New York
definitely! and thank you! :)
great video
Great Video.
100 dollars in Whole Foods? That’s kind of cool, could you please make a video showing what you buy? Could be interesting
Just commenting to say your hair & makeup look so good!!
I just love your dress
I didn’t know how expensive it is. I’m from San Diego California. I don’t pay half of what you pay for especially your hair. But I would consider maybe going to a beauty school. They might have student who can probably give you a better price? It’s just an option because that’s what I used to do when I was your age. I was looking at apartment tours and your video came up. Love your videos. I’m a new subscriber to your channel.
Instacart is awesome... its a bit pricey but its very convenient. Esp given the pandemic!
Another excellent vblog Taylor ; wow NY sure is expensive .. am living in comparable area to you in Tokyo .. everything is actually much cheaper here .. around 1:500 USD in rent would get you a good studio or small one bed. Eating out definitely cheaper and comparable cut & color around 270 USD... But totally get why you choose to live there in this chapter of your life ...thanks again for sharing ..
So true! and thank you!
Wow wee. 500 quid to have ya hair done. I live in a small northern English town (breakfast,dinner, tea here haha) and these prices to me are mental. To go out for tea here (dinner to you) for 4 people is like £70. And I’d say that’s expensive. I’ve been to New York but for me the most expensive place is Geneva Switzerland. To get there is cheap, everything else is ridiculous expensive.
As a fellow NYC girl please share the name of the nail salon where you can get a gel mani & regular pedicure for $45!!
haha it's called YoYo Spa in Chelsea!! best kept secret
What about NY taxi?
❤
I live in India & want to move to NYC, what should I do ? Can you please tell ?
I apply to Jobs in NYC but get no reply.
It may be due to work visa.
Also this video is very helpful.
Thankyou
:)
I know people who have moved here from other countries and gotten a work Visa. I guess it depends on the industry! Good luck with everything!
@@TaylorMorello Thankyou for warm words :)
As soon as this covid will over I'll try to be in NYC.
Hope I'll get a good Job.
Although I'm from a different country it's my dream also to move to NYC.
You're videos motivates a little more.
You're living a good life.
Hope best for your future
:)
500 dollars????😦
Good cheap gyms are also planet fitness and blink they have those all over the city
Any where from 10 to 40 it varies
My Russian flog just did this pricing vid too.Its the same for California...........we pay more for everything but we get paid more then most states.Your utilities are much lower then Calif.I spend between 70 to $90 a week at the market and Im single with two pets.Trader Joes is expensive here.........cheaper to go to chain market.I spend about $60 a month on flowering plants.........not cut.Since the pandemic Ive only ordered food once in a year.I cut and color my own hair its a few inches longer then yours.I have long nails but enjoy doing them myself.I have all the colors and a gel dryer.I was a gym member but dropped it during the pandemic and they have doubled their prices now so I do Holly Dolke and walk.Oh no my dear..YOU FORGOT something!!!Clothes.........I spend at least $150 a month!I know you spend much more then that!!!
thanks Nancy - so interesting to hear what the expenses are in CA! I didn't mention clothing because that's not New York-specific, and it's so different for everyone! but I do spend a lot on clothes lol
Your monthly rent is more than my yearly Rent in my country.
How did you find a studio in Soho for $2150? That’s so nice; I’m apartment hunting right now and I can’t find any studios in that area in my price range, which is about the same as yours
It was during covid!
Can we collabe super girl
I live in NYC but I don't get my hair done. And considering how much it costs...I'll eventually just go bald.
Girl… come to Italy, you’re spending a huge lot for everything… that’s just insane
I live in Nashville TN.
I pay about $1400 in rent. But, I own my home. All the other expenses are the same. Except gas, which is about $40.00 a month.
oh that's so great that you own your own place!! I hope to be able to do that someday :)
@@TaylorMorello I am sure you will. Would like to get a house still in New York City. Or outside of the city?
if you own it why do you still have to pay for rent?
@@elvajunik9381 cause I am fighting on ownership of the home. I still have a mortgage payment.
Love from India
Seriously, for a studio by yourself $ 2.150,- and I understand the area and NYC but still that is a lot of money.
Love you
whats the sum
Woooow that matchbox is over 2k 😟
Please come and visit Uganda, your haircut cost alone will give you the best trip of your life

Please wear a helmet while riding on the bike, they really do save lives,
How much is the living in New York City, telling ya sitting on a Prada pillow 😅
Haha it’s not real Prada it’s a Gossip Girl reference!
YOU PAY 2150 for a STUDIOOOO that’s pure robbery.
Girl you’re telling me! Location, location, location!
@@TaylorMorello Actually quite affordable for the location!! Congrats :) Keep killing it!!
You don't understand the New York real estate market if you think a $2150 studio is expensive for Manhattan.
@@kayflip2233 i live in New York calm down 😂 there’s cheap places in manhattan where you can pay 2150 for a 1 bedroom
60$ for Wifi ? its sick
OMG jesus christ oh Hell no New York was good back in the 80s n 90s for what I remember rent was cheap n under control light n gas n food was cheap I'm leaving soon they killing my pocket 😂😁 you so beautiful lady take care n be safe 👍😎
500 dollars for a haircut
I thought grown women wanting to look and sound like kewpie dolls was a thing of the past. Guess I was wrong? I mean, if we're gonna have men wanting to look and act like lumberjacks, why not. Either way, it's funny what people will spend their money on.
