- Hi friends! This took AGES to edit but it's finally done ~ I tried to give the most accurate representation of my week and how much I spend day by day - It's definitely not lavish, but definitely a realistic look into what I really spend living and working in NYC ft. a few weekends and days in my life as a software engineer :)

hope everyone’s having a great start to the weekend 🥰
wow you actually spend so much less than all those other vloggers in nyc 💸 kudos to u for being smart with ur money!! great video as always 🙂
haha i try! it definitely helps when i don’t eat out bc it gets pretty $$ in nyc
Yeah she’s doing a much better job
Investing in the gym seems so valuable!! I think it’s important to always have at least 1 non basic life expense is so important
so true!! i definitely think the gym is a worth investment rn 😇
This actually feels realistic and helpful. Most of these types of videos people do it on days they have extravagant expenses which totally ruins the idea. Yes things come up (like the bday kbbq dinner) but doing it on a day you're buying new camera gear.....cmon now.
Also love the subway tracking, ever since they switched to the capped rate i wouldve just taken that and divided it per day but to see it costs $5.50 to go anywhere in NYC hits differently and makes you think.
2 to 3 times a week going climbing/bouldering is good for now because at the beginning you have to strengthen the joints in your hands and it takes longer to strengthen than muscles. Great vlog as always!
good point! i feel like i’m still learning and definitely want to go a bit more each week :)
Which climbing gym is that? My partner and I are about to move to NYC and looking for a new home gym
you can tell how much work went into this video, and we appreciate you so much!! this video is also super informative so tysm
ok but seriously well done on your spending, that takes skill!! and the climbing?? you are so good!!!!
The graphic work in this video just made it 10x better! I live in Dubai and has no plan to move to NYC, but your video is a treat to my eyes ✨
ahh tysm!! 😇
please do a what I cook in a week video!! i would love to watch that 😊
This is sooo helpful! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos Sarah! I just found your channel and I’m in love! 💞😭🫶🏼
thank you for being here and supporting!! 🥹🫶🫶
Relaxing while watching my fave Sarah's NYC life! 💖
ty for watching! 🙌
I love this video!! Can you please make a PLANT video?? I'm a plant mama too and I love your plants! especially if you could do a video showing your props and how you repurpose your onion scraps! thank you🥰
Your hair color is amazing and its so healthy too!! Don't gatekeep your haircare routine
Really enjoyed this vlog and can see how eating at home really does make a huge difference to weekly expenses! Can I ask how you film while speaking into your phone mic at the same time? Do you use a specific app to link the two? Thank you!
it's wild how living in nyc, cooking at home was cheaper for me but when i moved to california eating out was INFINITELY cheaper (i got the spreadsheets to back it up haha!)
It was interesting to see the weekly breakdown, im glad you included rent and electricity and such aswell, crazy that even though you save on some parts it still comes out to 700 dollars a week lol NYC is quite expensive
it definitely is superrr expensive living here 😮💨 honestly if rent prices were lower, cost of living would be much better haha
Even though I live outside of NYC(about 30min) I live in Ct, it’s CRAZY EXPENSIVE HOW MUCH I SPEND IN A DAY IN NYC! I can’t imagine living there😢
NYC expenses can definitely add up 😅 i’ve been trying to budget more so that I keep track of all of my monthly savings haha
i live in manhattan but definitely want to relocate to brooklyn when my lease is up, are you in williamsburg or further out? your apartment looks lovely! also it's hard to spend this little in NYC it's just an expensive place so good for you!!!
Your crossing bridge noodles look so good!!!
tyy 😇 it’s delicious hehe
Your intro is so beautifully done OMG
tyy 🥹
Coming from a culture where the birthday celebrant treats everyone. This really surprised me. This is also why when its our birthdays we hide from everyone.
my family comes from a similar culture 😅 i definitely do it differently with friends though - usually the birthday boy/girl gets a free meal 🥘
Sarah I need to know your recipe for the cross bridge noodle dish- literally my favorite meal ever haha. Are you by chance from yunnan?
Honestly your meals are not too bad! My friends and I easily spend $100+ on nights out
Soooo jealous of all the free food in the tech world AH ✨
great video as always though, it was really interesting to see your spendings!
free food is so clutch 😮💨 tysm for watching!!
I work in HR and we also get free food on campus when we have to go. Real big game changer tbh. I don't even live in NY haha.
i was casually watching this video until i recognized the cafe you walked into!! i work in the chelsea building - we should grab lunch sometime :)
Now i can have lunch. Thanks for the video😄
woo i hope it was a good lunch! :)
My biggest expense is definitely rent too 🥲 thank u for sharing your budget!!
I’m in nyc, by the looks of it right in your neighborhood and I probably spend 10x what you do in a week and I only eat once a day.
Love the video and laughed so hard when you had eggs: first born child 😂 I feel that
eggflation is too real 😮💨
It is extremely beneficial. Sarah, Thank you very much for your candor.
I'm curious why you don't go to work more than two days per week. Because the food and the rest are complimentary:)
usually it’s to save on commute time! 🙂(half an hour each way for me so i tend to prefer using that time for other things like editing or getting dinner with a friend)
Make Kimchi stew all the time at home - I don’t always have all the ingredients so I substitute but I love making it ❤
yes!! best dish ever 😋
Misty vibes! ❤
Pokémon reference*
Also this video should be titled “how to save money in NYC” instead lol
It's nice to watch one of these videos and not be horrified by the weekly total. I watch some of these type of vides and the total is easily over $1000 dollars. This seems pretty reasonable for New York.
so you can go to office and get out (work at home) whenever?
hi sarah! i found your channel through one of ur outfit videos and i immediately loved your style and energy. as a lil compsci student starting a yt channel, you are soo inspiring and i'd love to live in nyc one day too :D
hii tysm for being here!! and woo compsci / yt girlies unite 🥰🫶
@TheGrahamStephanShow This is one I'd love to see your opinion on! It's refreshing to see someone who has more realistic spending vs other youtubers!
What climbing gym is this? I'll be new to New York in the summer!
2:45 soo asmr😍😍 u should make 1 with food😄
That’s a dope climbing gym
Love your hair so much, want to dye mine too lol. Btw, where do you find pop-ups nyc, they seem interesting to go to?? :))
usually i’ll hear about it through a friend or on tiktok! there’s also sites that list different pop ups if you search “nyc pop ups” 🙂
Did you include your monthly cell phone bill...also where do you get that bucket of kimchi and how much is it?
I reallllly love your videos. Its really interesting how much New York costs. My monthy payment as a teacher in Hungary is 750 $. 😢😮 But sure living prices here usually 2 person for 50 squaremeter apartment is 700$/month in our capital city. 😅
ty for watching! 🙂 and wow, cost of living outside of nyc is so different 😅
Hi! What is the recipe for the korean dish you did in the first day? Also do you just the end or half uaed spring onions? Would love to do the same! Great idea
mykoreankitchen.com/sundubu-jjigae/ half the spring onions! :)
I spend like double this in Austin. Actually down to move now😭
My biggest weekly expense is daycare! My daughters daycare costs $395 a week 😬😬 totally worth it though but boy, it’s expensive
oh man it’s a lot but seems worth it! 😮💨 i’m saving up for my kid starting now haha
That giant bucket of kimchi!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
😋😋
Can you share your noodle soup recipe?
„Eggs: my firstborn child“ so true lmao
😮💨
That looks like Yoon Haeundae Galbi! We love that place
it is!! it’s a great spot :)
when did they implement this $30 MTA tapped out rule? Is that via OMNY card?
not sure when but it’s the omny card or your credit/debit card! it has to be the same card each time to cap out though
Do you have the expenses for the at home meals? I noticed some meals had the costs and some didn't.
i calculated it all at the end! i might’ve missed a few meals b/c it was getting hard to edit everything haha
cant wait for graham to react
Lol the [edible] subway killed me
Where did you get your desk chair?
flexispot!
What card were you taking about at timestamp 4:23?
just your usual credit card or omny card! there’s more information if you search “fare capping nyc mta” 🙂
Didn't know the subway is so cheap in NY. In London you can literally pay $20 a day, there's no cap for the day or week lol
I was just thinking to myself, what if you ate subway throughout the week? Would you label it as subway (the sandwich)? But I love edible subway 😂
great minds think alike 😂
yeah its BA DA BING BA DA BOOM 😂 you got it right.. 😉
😇
not me watching this thinking damn I spend a lot not in NYC 😅
Thanks for the work. Thanks for Financial Transparancy. Thing Global ... Act local. It is really important.
I’m v curious what your (edible) subway order is 👀
hahaha 👀
Deff spending money eating out is largest expense for me !
reay y i watch being life
What about clothes, health insurance and other insurances?
🎉
health insurance is covered by my job actually! and then it’s maybe $5 for dental and eye insurance - i don’t shop too often so i’d say clothes are one-off $50-100 every few months haha
Good for you. Keep up the good work 🥳
Oof! $145 for your climbing gym membership? I spend $85 for my rock climbing gym. It’s such a fun hobby though. Prioritizing your health like you said is a must
it’s definitely expensive 🥲 but totally worth it when i go often!
$17.73 including tip? howwww?
a software engenieer going climbing . haha so typical xD
i joined the bandwagon 😅
Watttttt I spend over 2,000.00 three to 4 weeks n am always broke..:. My goodness u sooo smart…..,
If you still work for Google - They reimburse you for an unlimited yearly metrocard through healthequity!!
What is the buy one get one offer lol
Wow, you know Brandon! Small world haha
i do! he’s great :)
👋🏻
👋
the way you calculate gym doesnt make any sense to me unless you would go to the gym everyday. otherwise just add the price for a whole week at the end, same with rent etc.
$145 gym membership and going 2-3 times a week is $14.50 a session, not $7
She gets a subsidy from work that lowered the price.
Your weekly expenses are my total rent per month but living in a big city in Germany. Not as exciting as NYC I guess 😂
oh man 😮💨 it’s so much more affordable outside of nyc haha
Nyc will make you spend money lol
R u Korean? Caz ur soon-tofu ingredients look so… Korean haha
That first meal chicken looked so bland!!!!!!
I can not get over the fact that a footlong is cheaper than here in Germany. I was paying 8,90€ for one 🫣
