Today's video is another about Los Angeles, and I'm showing you guys what it's like to live on $100 for a week here. In LA, your money doesn't go as far as a lot of other cities in the US. It's definitely still doable though if you grocery shop and just don't eat at resteraunts and get a lot of ubers.

I don’t know about you guys over there in the US, but in Europe a week normally has 7 days...
In the US, people usually budget for 5 days because on the weekends they spend more money to 'treat' themselves. That's also how people do meal plans, because they want to eat at the restaurants on weekends and stuff like that.
@@limitlessbianca If you're on a budget or low on cash you probably should include those two days too you know, and maybe actually not "treat" yourself every weekend.
@@neabby I highly agree. That's what I find weird about the 'week' system in the US. But that's mostly just lifestyle of certain people.
I got so worried about Shelby spending $70 within three days because I thought she would be stretching the money all the way to day 7.
@@limitlessbianca Yeah, same, maybe 'cause "it's LA" too? As someone who had it pretty bad financially in a big city when I was younger I could't imagine excluding two days of the week and just not think about it.
@@neabby No, based on what I watched on TH-cam. It's not just LA, it's almost nationwide. I went to college in SF. In my hometown, when we say 'weekly,' that means once a week. But my dorm gym instructor in SF thought I exercised every Monday to Friday when I said "I usually just go weekly."
There's actually a TON of people who needs to do this because not everyone has a great job
My 2¢, California is not the world we believe it is. I can afford it, but it's not that great at all. I live 5 blocks from San Francisco State.
i dont even have a job dude
She’s making fun of us
In California, i am pretty sure the tax percentage is 7.5 or 8%. Where I live, it is 6%. So that makes a difference
Haha tax is like 10.25 in Santa Monica
It's easy to survive in LA with a hundred:don't go anywhere.
Domino_Emery spot on
I live in the dtla and do this flawlessly
Yup and the beach, for the most part, is free.
Having no friends saves money
@@itshalo837 you are right
im confused isnt a week like 7 days what about those two you just don’t exist?
Yep... 😊👍
You just stay home and eat ramen
I can see your bank name. It's the same bank I have. If you call customer service they will refund up to $175 in fees a year. Then you can just monitor your checking activity.
Every youtuber calls 5 days a week these days... Kinda clickbate
That's called "a nice way to tell you that that 100$ won't be enough for those two days" 😂
Seeing these videos has made me really realize I’m crazy frugal. Like I spend about $100 per month on groceries, and $80 on gas for my car. I spent a total of $25 on a couple things from the clearance section of Ross and a burrito from Del Taco when I went out last Friday and that was like a rare treat. If I’m hanging out with friends we usually don’t go out. We stay in and cook together and mix our own drinks, or pack snacks and go do something outdoorsy. On the rare occasion we do go out, my favorite pub has $3 beers and $6 mixed drinks (Which is crazy cheap in Portland! It’s much more common for drinks to be in the $12-15 range). I only see movies on Tuesdays because tickets are $5. I probably spend on average $50 per week most weeks on incidental spending like this. I’ve spent $0 this week.
And... I’m happy. I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself. I still socialize and live my life. I have money in the bank.
Don’t let these wealthy TH-camrs (who basically run their own marketing and advertising company because of all the sponsorships) make you feel bad about how much money you have. As long as you have enough to have the basics covered, you can still live a rich and fulfilling life.
Katherine Burtt......... I've been reading comments on TH-cam for years
but that is truly one of the smartest and most sensible things I've ever heard ......
because you correctly recognize that some people will look at videos like this
and feel bad about themselves ...... thank you for pointing out that life is not a one size fits all.
exactly I saw the title for this video and was like "how is that a challenge?" like you have to be extremely irresponsible with your money if youre spending over $100 every week on things like eating out and getting coffee
Exactly!
@@Christinar626
in Croatia, the salary is $ 700 for the whole month and the weekly spending is $ 100 😅
Very happy to read your comment. There's still hope for humanity :) And yeah, was expecting LA to be harder than shown in this video. The stuff you actually need didn't seem to be that much more expensive than elsewhere. Obviously this doesn't include rent which really puts the hurt in, but apart from that, real easy.
Theres NO WAY i'm linking my bank accounts to some random AI analysis app LOL
its totally NOT data mining you! just dont read the user agreement!
AJBcreations same
phallus longulus yea they do, its a china owned data miner. Understanding what that majority spend and how they spend money is worth a lot of money. People with no money are the easiest to sell too
Sooo u always eat out??? And buy coffee? lol, that's craaaazy, I always cook, rarely eat out, saves a lot of money.
Rochelle Gordon she gets paid a lot anyways
@@KourttneyL looolz IkR for real though 😂😂👌
@@coldpizzasoda8641 lol I just realise loool, I don't think I'll always eat out though even if I was "loaded" well I don't know lol, I think I'm always gonna be miss frugal fran rich or not lol.
Same, we only eat out once a week. Sometimes i order food for lunch but then I have leftovers for diner or next day lunch.
@@berri5769 yup me too, in Jamaica we call it "Sunday Monday" looolz
I bet Cleo’s privacy policy is an interesting read..
Seriously 😂
Cee_Jay Live yup
Yess Cleo app is a hugeee privacy scam. Please be careful guys 🙏
who cares
Natasha Louvre really?
Best budget lunch: Costco food court. $1.50 for good quality hot dog and a drink.
Is anyone else... concerned with how close she's parked to the car in Santa Monica?? Hope they didn't need to be anywhere 😂😭
Haley Blake yep, looks like that Mercedes bumper is touching at 7:14
50 cent iced coffee is still more expensive then Graham's 20 cent iced coffee.
LMAO this video is soo good!
Ah yes,an educated individual 👌👌
Indeed, glad to see I am among fellow cultured sophisticates.
My thought exactly!
EXACTLY what I was thinking
186 dollars in bank charges? Damn girl you'd better go check what that's for 😬
It's her Interest Charges on her Visa..... 100%
APSB has a annual charge of ten thousand and you have to spend at least two hundred thousand a year. So really not that bad.
Yea if you had transactions for $500 and the charges were $186 that is huge, but If she had transactions for $100k then it is extremely cheap. Just from what she posted was $5k from her bussiness acount to herself with 1% charge on that transaction alone it is $50.
’I'm on a budget so I'm going to trader joe’s cause it's affordable.”
I- 🤭 k
In the area I live Trader Joe’s is the second cheapest option and it’s the one with the best specialty diet items
Idk I would say Walmart is cheaper than Trader Joe’s
Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is my new fav. It's like a fancy version of the 99c store.Trader Joes when I first moved to LA 20 years ago was really affordable you could get a bag full of groceries for $20. Now there are much better options. Of course if you like buying in bulk and have a business then shop at the Resturant Depot.
Lol I was gonna say. over $3 creamer, I feel like you could've found something cheaper lol.
That's about when I realized how out of touch she is with reality lol
Isn’t a week considered....7 days?.....not 5.... maybe the weeks are different in stuffy LA
😂
I’m from LA and a week is 7 days.
She must of ran out of money and had to hide in her bed for 2 days.
AngelsUniqueLife 🤦🏽♀️
hahahahhaha hahah shut up
yes girlllll kinda miss LA when I see you THRIVING
OMG you are so cute and I Subscribed you.
I'm not popular but yes my videoz can stun u and make u happy.
God bless you angel
Come visit ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Bangladesh! We love your videos here. 👌🏽
Shelby Church
IS CLEO SAFE WITH THE PRIVATE BANKING INFORMATION?
@@ShelbyChurch where is that taco place u went to looks bomb
I think this is particularly difficult for you because you are used to having (good) money and hanging out with people who are in the same situation.. Lifestyle inflation 😁
wow i can’t believe how much u eat out/ postmate. i’m too broke for that lol
Considering she posted her payroll which is over 5k, she can definitely afford it. 😂
Liz D. ....I can’t believe how much she drinks! Lmao
And she ought to cook at home
Michelle Hobbs 5k a month?
@@H0rseMac yes? Lol. 60k a year.
Moral of the story: living in la on a tight budget is no fun. Might as well live in a suburb if you are just gonna drive in your car and eat at home everyday
tacky and fabulous I think it applies to all cities but you should not think about spending your money as = being fun. You can have fun and have a budget or you can make a special fun budget. There is also free fun things to do in any city. A lot of people drive in their car to their home and eat at home everyday 👍
I live in Queens, NY but work in Manhattan. Enjoying a bagged lunch in Union Square Park with friends, or a store-bought tallboy in Mad.Sq. Park afterwards (open alcohol is legal in certain areas of some NYC parks) are some of the best part of my week and can be done for under $4 each!
Or you could just not eat out everyday
Helpful information. Thanks Shelby
Enjoyed! Being loving all your videos at the moment
as a viewer I really appreciate the way you integrated this sponsorship. Felt like it wasn't even a sponsorship and I feel like you really found some cool and useful features to display with the app.
Trader Joe’s is affordable?? Definitely the words of an LA resident 😭
Cady Hayes it’s way cheaper in Seattle, WA compared to Walmart, Safeway, etc.
for organic food it is
@@lejlastark2515 SAME! Seattles trader joes is my Irish, way cheaper then Safeway since its weirdly much mor3e expensive and Walmart is rarely always available in every location
Organic food even at Walmart is more expensive than trader joes
Trade Joe's has unique food from other countries though.
I would like to see cleo’s privacy policy...
there is none lmao
They track you
i love your videos! randomly found your page for LA rooftops video- but now I am a fan :) - your content and video quality is amazing - keep it up!
i’m totally gonna get cleo, loved this!
Wow I loved this video thanks for the advice btw your outfits are killing it!
😈
Thanks for your caring and for sharing , just keep Smiling
this was fun to watch!! love the budgeting theme
You did pretty good 🙌🏻 Basically it just helps to stay home all the time 😂
ya
$100 is a good amount for a month in my Village.
I moved from Texas on a budget of $2000 monthly to San Francisco. Jump to $4000 and barely makes me feel something.
@@flyonthewall.8638 😲😲😲 4K a month? USA is an expensive country 😂😂😂
TKM EXTRA no it’s not it’s just that everyone lives with luxury’s they can’t afford.
@@edgarh252 now I see...
Village lol
Great video Shelby! And magnificent job on staying on budget!!! Eating out is usually one of the largest culprits of over spending nationwide! And yep, living in San Diego, I can attest that parking costs can definitely eat up that coin!
Your videos are soooo good. Thanx
Omg I just found out today that you had a twin. My whole life just got turned upside down I literally thought you two were the same person. I never checked the name tbh I don’t even know what one of you I started watching first......woah like omg
Living on $100 for a week is easy BUT - Was you on John Mayer's guest list ? Gas, Rent ? Cell phone for the week ? Was your weekly expense in LA really $100 - It looks more like $1,000
Roger, you are correct! 👍
Prolly way more than $1,000. Health insurance? Car depreciation/payment? Electricity? Cable? Water/sewer/trash? Internet?
Lots of stuff you are forgetting.
It’s a week not a month. I’m pretty sure she made sure all those were covered before making the video.
Yeah this budget was only for food and going out for the week budget. Not about rent and bills.
Erica Hernandez exactly. For spending purposes.
After watching probably 10 of your videos today I am finally subscribing to your channel. Great content and thank you for truly high quality
You're honestly one of the best youtubers. Every time I watch your videos I get to the end and want to continue watching lol. Great content keep it up!
She should be on 'Millenial Money' and Graham should respond to her spending 😂
lol you spent $20 on ice-cream sandwhiches when you could've bought entire tubs for like $4.50 each, which makes it 13.5 nwnf
Always refreshing to watch your videos! Love your take on things! ✌🏼
Yess Shelby with the uploads I’ve been waiting all week but I’m moving out to LA in a year for acting( cliché I know) but you’re videos really help with the knowledge of this place 💪🏽
You need to try Graham Stephen’s famous 20 cent iced coffee. 50 cent coffee is ludicrous! 😂 ☕️
I 100% agree
Real Los Angeleno here, I really REALLY have to point out a lot of misinformation here. This tends to be mostly on the West Side or DTLA. On the East side things are hugely different.
For one thing, I do survive on $100 a week and from time to time, I eat a steak for dinner. How? Because I know where to shop to get good food at cheap prices and there are loads of latin supermarkets that have thin cut steaks or fresh fish at very reasonable prices. Taco stands sell $1.25 tacos and you can find them almost everywhere! If you want a healthy option, then go find a fruit stand for $5.
Also, this person like to go out quite a bit...a lot of us don’t because we know how expensive it can be to go to a fancy club or bar. If we want to drink, we can easily go to the super market and buy a 24 pack for the same price as one drink of the rooftop bar.
If you’re looking for cheap food for lunch...costco! $2 pizza slices, $1.50 hot dog/drink, or $5 salads (really large salads). Some costco stores have their cafe outside and do not require membership. While we are on the topic of costco, in CA, you can go to costco and purchase alcohol without having to have a membership. And again, there’s cheap food stands, Mc D’s, and supermarkets with options!
And a lot of Los Angelenos don’t do brunch! Seriously! $60!!! A bowl of menudo for $10 will fill you up for the day!
If you want sports entertainment, Stubhub gets you cheap Laker/Clipper/Kings/Dodgers/USC tickets! I can’t tell you how often I’ve found $8 loge seats for a Dodgers game.
It is possible to survive with $100, but you are just doing that...surviving! If you want her life style of LA on the West side, there’s no way you can manage on $100 a DAY.
You're right! This is more of an upscale way of surviving haha.
spot on about the westside/eastside difference
Great idea for a video shelby! I always love your unique ideas and filming/editing style
I find this type of video very informative and a great way to learn how to budget.
I think you spend too much on your grocery.. you should do a meal planning and find a cheaper grocery store which has a lot of sale and discounts or you can use coupons, I always compare cheaper grocery stores every week to find which grocery store has a lot of sales. Uber is a big no no in my opinion. Me myself really seldom using uber I'd rather drive around or using public transportation than uber because it's cheaper than uber. And yes I feel you, I spent too much on social life especially eating out and Starbucks!! good job Shelby!!, awesome video
Oh maaan LA is insanely expensive indeed! I like this Cleo app, super clever
i always enjoy watching these vids!
Awesome tips, Shelby! Thanks!! :)
Hello from Bangladesh! We love your videos here. My family of 11 gets by on $15 dollars per week. 👌🏽
Really?
My father's earning is like 2000 dollars per week
Me my father,mother and younger brother we still own a cheap car and we can't really save a lot of money
From Pakistan
Why youtubers always make a week as 4/5 days, isn't 1 week = 7 days???
Thanks Shelby ! very informative ! I just realised that I need to cut back many areas that you just showed us.
I don't know how to describe what kind of content you have been making but I LOVE it. I guess its like "investigative", I really enjoy it, its very insightful and interesting, and I feel like Im learning a lot and hearing a lot of interesting information that isn't always exactly 100% directly relevant to my life, but still is applicable in informing other aspects of my life. I do like watching vlogs and sort of content that is a lot of "nothingness" but its nice to have stuff like this mixed in where it feels like there is more substance/useful information while also not being a struggle to get through.
U should do the same video again but this time u should collab with graham stephan he should watch over your budget
RenaiLofi yes
Omg yes hahahaha
@@ShelbyChurch You probably already had him triggered at "50 cent coffee" because that's WAY too expensive
Yes.
omg yesss
This is dedication, this video was great !
loved this video!
Love to hear and watch you girl crazy ideas practically helpful keep going
Was that Kacey Laine at your brunch?! I used to loooveee her content so great to see her pop up!
Me: $100 for a week in LA. LA LA or LA county. Cause one of those ain't gonna happen
Shelby: Hold my wallet
Me: :O
Very cool concept love the candidness
Loved this. I am going to use Cleo.
You should do the live a week w/o spending money!!!!!
omg you NEED to do a collab with Graham Stephan!!
Fun video ! Tricky indeed in this crazy city
This is an awesome video and challenge. More TH-camrs should try this out. Love you Shelby !!
I was homeless for 10 years after I got out of Marine Corps and I want it being homeless in Orlando Florida I lived on $25 a month until I can figure some stuff out on being able to eat that $25 was for me giving plasma
Oh my goodness Byron! You could have gone to a shelter or worked at a fast food place to make ends meet! You are a Veteran and they do have places for Veterans! You should not have to live on the street!😥
Couldn't find a job related to prior experience in the Corps?
I slept in my truck for almost an entire summer. i had 10K in my savings but I was trying to save money and also was going through life changing or whatever experiment. I wasnt tied donw to a job or relationship anymore.
Im ex-Gf went batsheit crazy after out baby twins died. I made around $80k prior...but anyways. i just slept in mu truck..near beaches. Became a sort of Beach Bum :-p...most of my expense was from Smoking Cigg.
But I was clean. Took hot shows . Had hot meals everyday..at CHURCHES.
went to $1 movies, $2 for starbuck every day...refills are only .50 cent, hung out at the beach different beaches all day. I even dated a super model . She asked me out. She was sneaky. Busted me in my own games..Wore her ripped jeans N sneakers..when she asked me out...she knew of me through a friend I met and hung out with...parked her BMW around the corners for weeks...while we dated. Then took me home to her mansion..2 story house over looking the Beaches.lmao
It was weird ..I had a daughter I never met before...she too was a super model..
she asked me to be closer to her and be there for her....I just threw my bags
and guitar into my truck. I didnt even think twice. I left a GF I was living with
at the time.( i only knew her for month...she still got extremely angery
that I was leaving her , just the same). i promise my duaghter i would do anything for her..Talk is cheap..She straight up call me on it. I took actions.
I had to put everything and everyone else aside...for once in my life.
she had to be #1 in her life. It was only way I could make up for the pains
Ive cause her for not being there for her. i had to make it right.
It was kind of scary...Im just a small town boy...I woke up on a beach, 1000 miles from home near L.A. iT was like a different planet to me.lol
For the first couple of weeks..I was slapping myself..WTF, I left a pretty GF
to sleep in a god damn truck ..but my duaghter would call me ..just at
those funkie moments of doubts I was having. It was weird.lol
I didnt understood me daughter..My super model GF help me. She told me "GOD sent her into my life"....that was her pick up line.lol
It was around $100 a week. Nothing fancy.but could be done. You dont have to spend money to have fun. Money wasnt the issue nor made any of us happy.
My duagther went through millions before she was 20 yrs old.
My GF just wanted to truly be love for being her...not for her looks or money.
It was the same thing my daughter was going through.
I never took any money from my duagther.she though I was crazy for sleeping
in my truck and offer to rent an apartment... but I told her I had a super model as a GF. Lmao
Yeah when I was pushing homeless, I ended up living on $30/month in Alaska so in the rest of the US, its like living on $20
@@starbai410 Just, do anything to get your foot in the door! You can watch the job board and see new positions that will become available! Stay positive and you never know! What the Lord has in store for you is far more greater than you can imagine! You will get the job that you want soon! Peace..👍⭐👍
I thought I was spending a lot and I only spend $40 or less a week lol .. as long as I don’t order stuff on amazon lol
Shelby, this was an awesome video topic! Food in small town Oklahoma is pretty affordable, but even in the bigger city where we go to actually live life, it is very much the same prices as what you showed for LA (minus paying for parking). It’s very motivating to have a good job so that life doesn’t feel so stressful 😅.
Great job on this!!
This was such a great idea omg!! Loved this so so much 💕💕
Love her topics. She’s LA’s modern voice.
Edgar Arenas
is CLEO safe with your banking information?
Marcela Mo ask Shelby.
No the he’ll she ain’t
mimi j hell or he’ll who?
Who's here from Monica's channel new video and didnt skip ads for u too shelby
@CaliforniaElevators 21 ok ty so much sure
Love the video !!!
Great video,Inspiring.
Can’t believe some things she spends on... like, $6.00 for an ice cream?! Never in my life, or never for an ice cream sandwich 😂
Cleo helped me find my fabletics membership I had no idea I was paying for😂
Did you go crazy ordering outfits once you realized you had all those credits. That's what happened to me and I have like 10 outfits worth they wouldn't refund.
Beautiful day with beautiful video 👍😊💐
Loved this vid! So awesome meeting you at camera camp
you too!! keep it up with the videos!!

Cool ❤ but how much was your Mayer ticket? 💃 🥂
My thought lol
@@cutereboot Yes, I get that... but its about doing things on a low budget. Like buying last minute tickets for dirt cheap. That would have been a cool tip instead of oh I bought these weeks ago on my real budget.
I spent $150 for my John Mayer concert.
@@cutereboot Agree to disagree.
11.70 for John Mayer and food ..🤫
love this video
This was really inspiring!
Surviving on $100 a week = my every day life
I can live on less
Lmao or less usually for me
This is my meals literally everyday. This makes me feel sad about my life.
I appreciate your channel. Thank you.
Hi Shelby,
You are one of the best TH-camrs out there. I can see you with some bigger and better things coming up in your life.
Uhmmmm how did you make such a perfect omelet?! Mine always suck..you should make a video on it!
hahah I could do that!
It’s sometimes the type of pan you have 👍
wait I'm about to get on this oatmeal breakfast to save my bank account 👏🏼
NUT.
Love these kind of videos!
Love your videos! I hope to run into you soon in these LA streets!
“Learning to love oatmeal is the best thing you can do for your bank account” 😂😭
Anastasia Korol 😂😂😂 need to start doing that
I moved from Texas to Los Angeles and girl it’s so expensive here :(
Yeah you fkd up
killing it !
Great experiment! Thanks for presenting Cleo. Seems to be very helpful.
Was that a john mayer concert?
Both these girls were never taught how to hold their cutlery and it bothers me maybe more than it should.
Jesus my catholic school teacher would have grounded me for a whole week if she saw me eat like that.
Thank God someone else noticed! I thought I was going crazy, they hold their forks like freaking cavemen!!! So aggravating
Yayyy I love Shelby's videos!💜
I don’t know how many times i told you this, but it’s so nice for you to shoot these videos noone ever does this... like i’m not gonna move to LA or NY but i’m still interested to know these. Anyways thank you 😋
Does Cleo have a monthly fee? Looks cool to use for budgeting money
no, but if you want to save within the app then you pay £5.99 per month. so i just use that to know what i'm spending etc, then use 'chip' to auto save my money :)
Everything she did in the video is free to use in the app unless you want extra stuff like the Cleo wallet
Cool. I’m downloading the app. Thank you kindly!
The hell is this you can survive off of $20 for a week and i would it be going out at expensive places to eat and drink take your ass to the liquor store or buy alcohol at the grocery store. Plus there 99 Cent Stores and Dollar Tree stores
i seen lot of videos on this topic but this video is different. you are a creative person. keep doing
Omg I like this video, keeping on a budget it’s tough in LA ❕👌🏼
