Just found your channel - great vlog! Thank you for sharing your NYC expenses. The burrito and those noodles looked so delicious!

[@JakeVanderPloeg]

Great video Jake. Loved seeing some NYC b-roll too!

[@dolphinsphx]

More lifestyle vlogs pleaseeee!! Appreciate seeing this as a fellow city girl :)

[@jakemercure]

Dang, my first subscriber ever! Planning on making more vlogs soon, maybe a vacation vlog in Italy???

[@cbuzzin711]

Another great video of walking around the city offering great suggestions and ideas. Your a natural for this type of video. Nice job!

[@BobI-jb4rk]

Appreciate you showing the positive and beautiful side of NYC!! I ❤ NYC

[@jakemercure]

Absolutely, its a great place!!

[@AnthonyVenture]

Yo that first haircut picture was hilarious hahaha. You’re very crafty, I was wondering, couldn’t you just go to a laundromat, I used to in NY and I’d pay I think $3 in quarters for pretty much everything. Or is that not really a thing in Manhattan? Good stuff Jake, I like this style of video, fun and funny, keep going!

[@jakemercure]

Thanks brotha, honestly i just wanted a good excuse to add another machine to my daily life. Im lowkey becoming an appliance enthusiast

[@keyKEYadventures]

Loved alllll of this! Thanks for sharing the personal deets! Ha those haircuts thoooo

[@JoshGiebel]

Yooo Jake vlog dropped! Love this content man. Portable washer is crazy tho (but I get it) 🤣

[@jakemercure]

Thanks Josh!! im gonna yolo some more random videos like this and see what happens

[@Ctboosts]

This is the content you’re meant to make, loved it

[@jakemercure]

Im glad you liked, I felt great making this video

[@ItsMeCJ]

I like this style of video for you. It seems like you’re more on your element. What was that little washer machine contraption? I didn’t know those existed!

[@jakemercure]

I think it could be a great direction to take this channel. Appreciate the compliment CJ. Also I love machines, got this one on amazon!

[@splatoon_octo]

A couple of weeks ago I saw you in that very noodle restaurant. I wanted to say hello and thanks for the videos but didn't want to disturb your dinner.

[@jakemercure]

I love that! You should say hi next time, I think it would be super cool to meet the audience!

[@SpencerChewitt]

Love the vibe of this video Jake 🙌 I could never pay that much for rent though lmao. It’s cool to see your lifestyle though.

[@jakemercure]

So glad you liked this style Spencer! I'm kinda getting bored of Credit Card stuff tbh

[@SpencerChewitt]

@@jakemercure yeah a lot of it is the same stuff over and over. Hey man if you get keep up the views doing other types of content that’s awesome. I’ll keep watching 🫡

[@jakemercure]

@@SpencerChewitt love it bro, you a real one 🤝

[@daleonwheeler3717]

what about credit cards annual fees ???

[@sct4040]

There are free cards, with reward points.

[@jakemercure]

Just gotta pay them as they come, hope its not too many at once haha

[@daleonwheeler3717]

@@jakemercure ok bro hahahah I understand

[@benchoflemons398]

I think if you tried something like the wired cruiser 2024 plus you wouldn’t want to ride a citi bike anymore.

[@paulfelkner6749]

Good move, I never. had a dryer until I moved into the house I have now.

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

Rent is about the same in the Bay Area

[@jakemercure]

Def getting pretty high all around

[@thirtynine392001]

Love the $10 high and tight. 😊😊😊

[@jakemercure]

Fresh and clean for only 10 bucks

[@riosafado]

i’m sending this to your landlord , bye

[@jakemercure]

Ohhh nooo!!!

[@paulfelkner6749]

Great trash picking town. Morton Williams is a pretty good grocery store.

[@DarylDSpivey]

NYC in the house!!! But NEVER ride the buses. It's better to walk. FYI - My rent is $5k a month. Pro tip: Get jobs that pay more $$$.

[@sct4040]

$5k? I am a NYer and that’s insane!

[@jakemercure]

5k is pretty nuts!!

[@TheZombaslaya]

Man I'd love to move out east, Either NYC, Philly or DC, but finding a job sucks in this economy.

[@jakemercure]

I got lucky and my employer let me keep mine. It really is a tough economy right now...
