Reacting to "What I Spend A Week In NYC" (7k/mo on rent!)

[@BernicePanders]

9:00 - Girl talks about how she ONLY spends $51/week on food, then proceeds to spend $50-$80/day on eating out & delivery. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

The 51 dollars a week is probably groceries she buys for where she lives.... and considering only maybe 1 meal a day is one she made at home, that makes sense. I'll never understand people who can spend over 50 bucks a day on takeout shit regularly

New Yorker here, we actually frown upon people like this here because they are the reason why we have to pay absurd amounts of money for things that are way cheaper in other places. $1700 is your rent for the month in a really really expensive one bedroom or a cheap two bedroom, I have no idea where this girl gets enough money to burn it on a terrible apartment and honestly I pity her, because one day she's going to look back at those financial decisions and she's going to be feeling really bad about it. if you're going to be blowing $1700 on anything a week it better be a mortgage or something. having to pay $30 for lunch is pretty average but I'm pretty sure the reason her groceries cost so little is because she doesn't cook too many things and mostly just orders out. but yeah normal people don't live like this this is like intense privilege and I want to know what her job is because I need their contact because I hope they're hiring because holy s*** they are throwing money at her like it's trash

There is should definitely be a difference when it comes to “business expenses” for content creators. For example: Taking a client out to lunch while also having a meeting with them about your intentions of having a business relationship with them. Whereas these creators seem to just go out on the town with friends/colleagues for fun and content sake, then trying to pass it off as a “business expense”. The latter would be like if my work buddies and I went out for dinner and drinks together, and then sent the bill to the company we work at because what we did was a form of “team bonding”. No company would accept that as a “business expense”.

💯. She’s being so unrealistic. Who’s ordering that much food? Normal ppl don’t do that. This is not “living in nyc”. Also, who uses a coworking space or wtv tf that was?

[@shaun2463]

@@Mama_Bear524 I dunno, I live in Brooklyn and order food once or twice a day

[@blumeiworld]

@@Mama_Bear524 well most of us here can't afford getting that much food but yeah like what the f*** is a co-working space with the amount rent she's paying she should have a whole f****** balcony

Wine country is the DREAM! 🥰

I pay 500 USD a month rent for a large 1 bed room apartment with a huge bedroom. This also includes all utilities.

[@80AM.]

fun fact; there are over 8 million people that live in new york city which equals out to a little more than 60,000 people per sq. mile. i live in iowa which has a population of (close to) 3.3 million. this stuff blows my god damn mind out of the atmosphere. it is mind boggling.

Her weekly rent is my monthly rent. And it’s hard enough for me to pay that monthly because like Mrs. Lush said.. I spend a million on groceries. Why is she making so much money for… what talent?

[@Boi_X_Lonely]

$7k a month would literally be the rent on the biggest mansion where I'm at In Texas.

[@DrMurdercock]

@@Boi_X_Lonely I don't think you could find a house anywhere in IN that would require 7k a month rent. lol

[@JessieJ93]

My groceries is usually like $75 to $90

[@leann4265]

@@JessieJ93 a month? Jesussss I spent $200 every week and I’m a coupon lady😂 groceries are expensive

[@maliamichelle2059]

Her weekly rent is two times my rent.

Came out bobbing and weaving with the "haha I don't deal with finances just skins and amazon haha.." then he goes straight for K.O. with "but of course there is mortgage and all the other things haha" HARD CUT 🤣🤣 Whyyyy lol

Leon is so right!

DHOP dollar slices! Included Mediterranean (the best one).

[@breeb2638]

Me, crying in Australian. Aside from that glaring rent cost, the cost of living (accounting for conversion) in a SUBURB in Australia seems pretty on par with NYC. Our public transport can be more expensive (I used to spend ~$60 usd/week when I was a commuter) and I'd warrant a guess the alcohol is, in general, pricier because of our taxes. Fresh produce is fucked with COVID at the moment where a head of cauliflower is $7USD. Our minimum wage is higher, but I feel your pain on that rising inflation from across the pond.

I've heard from friends the outer boroughs are survivable, but you really need to have a good income to have any thing resembling breathing room in Manhattan.

[@kadenpealer11]

So is nobody gonna talk about how Mrs. Lush was clueless that los santos completely doesn’t exist? 😂

[@5005H1roll]

This is so off topic but Mrs Lush looks SOOOO GOOOOD

[@auston781]

Hey I haven’t seen you guys in year or so and I gotta say miss lush over there looking good good job on losing weight you look great

[@reginafromrio]

I got a bagel and lox in LA for $26. And this was Northridge, not even a touristy place.😮

Yes you can write off things for business expenses, but the rule of thumb is "You can write off anything, but when you get audited can you prove it."

[@alexscottthompson812]

I don't often ride public scooters... but when I do, I wrap Dollar Tree tinfoil around the GPS/radio so I can go as fast as I want.

[@Ray_Vun]

yeah i think you can write out stuff like meeting for drinks with youtuber friends as a business expense, because you can just say it was a business meeting. back when vlogging was the biggest thing on youtube, with people doing vlogs daily, like, around 2015 and such, youtubers would legit buy expensive stuff and show it off on the vlog just so they could write it off as a business expense. and so many of those vloggers started making gaming channels, which died within a year, because then they could put consoles, pcs and games as a business expense

[@michaellepore9547]

Hey Leon, FYI, if you go to Assembly Square in Somerville, there is a bomb Ramen place. They specialize in Ramen and is my wife and I go to place for Ramen.

[@Michaelengelmann]

What about Razor electric scooters? Always wanted one

[@crisco501]

The next video should be a parody; "How i justify going homeless in NYC." Have her living in a cardboard box and ordering postmates, and dumpster diving behind Macy's for beauty products!
