@@hasantariq869 I am in my fifth year of residency and it is not hard to make your own meals. It takes me less time to make a quick breakfast & lunch in the AM then it would take to go to a fast food place or cafeteria to buy the food. Grocery stores have tons of foods that make it easy to pack quick lunches (baby carrots, mini cucumbers, mini hummus packages, precooked chicken, sandwiches, mini tuna cans, etc etc). A lot of these things are cheaper than eating out and healthier and fast! The more I work in a week the more I buy these things that are simple to prepare. Even when I worked 90-100 hours in a week I prepared most of my meals. I do eat out for dinner a couple times per week because I love it but I save a lot of money by making my own breakfast, lunch, and most coffee.

Your large food expense is also a side effect from living so far away from work. The time spent commuting takes away from your free time and prevents you from wanting to cook, due to the 'free time' scarcity. Just saying.

This is what the Medicare for All people want to do to salaries of American doctors. Dumb.

[@McFlarene]

This is not accurate bc physicians like Abi in the UK are employed by their gov’t which has not kept proper funding for their healthcare workers Medicare 4 All doesn’t even come close to the nationalization of physicians in the UK, only the nationalization of health insurance Doctors’ pay in the US won’t drastically change bc if M4A Also, you need to look at it in terms of the potential lives saved and improvements in the qualities of lives of Americans with universal coverage instead of only doctor’s having their pays cut a little with implementation of universal healthcare Any respectable doctor would gladly rather see their patients being able to afford going to see them than dying with no coverage

When I was younger and on a tighter budget, I listed (estimated) ALL my expenditure....EVERYTHING....then divided that by 12, added 5% for inflation and had a monthly Standing Order (for that sum) to a separate “Bills” account, against which I set up Direct Debits for Mortgage, Energy etc. that way I knew I’d allowed for all my essential spending and what was left in my normal account, was my discretionary spending.....and when it was gone (if before month end) I simply didn’t buy any “luxuries” like Starbucks coffee :- ) ...... I’ve NEVER been in debt and paid off my mortgage at 49. It’s really very easy, I live within my means - great video, they should teach this type of stuff in schools.....maybe they do now, but they didn’t when I was at school :- ) - Loving what you produce and thanks - Peter.

This is great. We have to be realistic not just about what is economically okay but also what is suited for your lifestyle. There’s nothing wrong with wanting things, and I think you’re self-aware enough about the places in your spending that could be improved on, so I think you’re not oblivious to any of it (which would be a bad thing). I think just hearing someone talk about these things very openly is important. These are the realities of living a life like this, but at the same time you recognise that it’s controlled both by the circumstances you are in, and the choices you make. Long term there are probably things you could change and you are aware of that, and this process is essentially giving oneself awareness of how they spend and what they prioritise, which I think is so important in learning personal finance. Awesome video! Been really loving your content.

[@anotsosexysaxman5914]

@@tortureh2371 Nope, everyone thinks doctors earn a shit-load as soon as they finish medical school. Really they earn very average wages for at least the first 3-4 years of their careers. Doctors are pretty broke until they're in their late 20's / early 30's unless they have alternate income streams... and this is the case for doctors in most developed countries such as Canada, UK and Australia. US may be different because healthcare is almost entirely privatised and prices are overinflated massively... but then US med student have to deal with 5 - 6 times the debt once they graduate from university since it isn't government subsidised like in other countries... so even if they earn a decent bit more straight out of medical school, they're broke too.

Its a little strange, I'm not sure I would want burger smell when I'm sleeping

[@RejectedZ75]

i found it a bit sad tbh, but i’m sure life is good for him, probably just an odd shot

[@gauravpande]

HOLD ON, Hold On! 12:08 - Why do you have all these similar apps like - Ulysses, Evernote, Bear, Instapaper, Drafts, Todoist, and Notion? 😮😟

[@CrispSenpai]

Gaurav Pandey I assume he finds that each of them have a unique feature that he really enjoys. I agree with you though loll

[@freebeerishere]

Gaurav Pandey he talks about it in his what’s on my iPad video

[@DomainAspect]

He’s a weirdo...

[@GwilymJames]

I thought it was weird, but considering his channel is about reviewing these apps, they’re basically business expenses and is a tiny % of his total income. One review video on notion alone would cover these expenses.

[@itzyourgamerxd5869]

Amazing video, really enjoyed watching it.

[@cheewanng6138]

Thanks very much for your insights. Makes me ponder about my expenses too!

[@Myview246]

its not a ridiculous vid at all, Glamour has a KZbin channel and every now and again theres a vid about how women from all different careers and on all different salaries spend their income. Its pretty fascinating viewing, people are VERY interested to see how others live and spend.

[@DoctorNosa]

All that money going on coffee and eating out, won’t judge though, I’m the same 😩

[@robiu.k.4504]

Doctor Nosa me 2

[@nevillemathew6521]

Make your own coffee then?

[@kilewilotambatamba2403]

Great video. The honesty and preciseness are good. An app to calculate daily spend would be great

[@moamenahmed294]

You gave me a lot of ideas to do actually , BTW i watched the video till the end :)

[@auge9678]

its weird how a teenager working at a gas station full time in norway has a higher monthly income than a doctor in the uk...

[@themadman300113]

Tax rate differences. Plus, he's a junior doctor on his NHS Foundation Programme - hasn't even specialised yet - so income will be lower. That'll rise to around £85k/yr or £7000/mo when he becomes a consultant or a GP.

[@DrSidd]

@@themadman300113 and to become consultant from FY1, it will take him 10 years.

[@themadman300113]

@@DrSidd Right. You get pay rises throughout, though. On starting specialty training it can be around £45k.

[@larsosejohansen]

Auge Hmm, you get like 120-150kr NOK/hr?

I've just bought that cook book, if it doesn't work for me I'm sending you the bill Ali!

[@adamkhan7234]

Really appreciated the insight re striking the balance between decisions/actions and financial impact, and also factoring in how the additional daily expenses trade off against the time freed up to e.g. make your videos... Understanding this is probably really crucial also for people closer to the poverty line, but I'm gonna also give some thought to how baseline level of financial security 'should' move the slider in terms of decisions/actions vs financial impact

[@nickcarter5569]

You may have rambled a bit, but the little gold nuggets within almost each small summery you presented were well worth it. Plus you made some funny/good points lol. 😌 Hope your staying safe on the front line my friend! Thank you. 🙏

amazing mate, your weekly wage must be HUGE to cover those costs....the average here in aus is take home of about 700aud...(363 gbp) and thats before you take out mortgage etc etc

[@dullsull]

First video i've watched of yours and i'm really happy i came and watched it. Great work :)

[@abbey-rose]

I was surprised to hear your expenses! I expected you to be meal prepping and bringing coffee from home! It would be awesome to see a comparison with a week where you prepare all your food yourself and compare the money you spend!

[@Vanessa-dk4ii]

If you want a pleasurable (but very cheap) coffee experience you could start making your own barista-style coffees at home. I have a stove-top espresso maker and there is no greater joy in the morning than when it whistles to tell me my coffee is ready ☕🥰

[@tkerby91]

Could you make a video on how you would advise someone who is trying to learn to code. I know absolutely nothing about it and intend to use books/free sites to teach myself. Would be good to get your insight on things such as (what language to choose, how to measure progress, how difficult it is or isn’t etc)

[@cassandramccormack5631]

In case he never replies: I've been coding for at least 4 years now. Reading a book will give you some knowledge, but I believe the absolute best way to learn is to try make something. Start simple like something that calculates how many letters are in your name. Then start getting more complicated. There's also codeacademy, but I'm not sure how much you can do for free. I'd recommend starting with Python because the syntax is easier, then move onto Java and JavaScript, C#.

[@shinzura7307]

Just start eventually it will come together as long you don't give up along the way.

[@abhishekshah4282]

@@cassandramccormack5631 Don't you think he'd be better off learning a language such as C++ to start with, so as to really get to know all the core programming concepts. I understand python is much more "readable" but learning a tough syntactical language would push him to get everything right. After this, learning any language would be a cakewalk for him. Atleast that's how I started.
