What I Spend In a Week as a 26 Year Old in NYC

[@mdnnka3563]

Enjoy life, girl! Many of us can't afford that lifestyle or are stuck at work all day and completely wiped out in the evenings and all we can do is watch YT 😅😂

[@Annie-ho4mq]

You just described my life perfectly

[@jayheh]

Why is this so accurate 🙈

[@ShaiziKhan-gw7fb]

Lots of love from india 🇮🇳 ♥

[@chocktalk]

you do realize her youtube money pays for all the food and content and she works as well

[@czpavli]

So... Just do something about it.

[@SiliaAspa]

I think I told you before but I love how clear you are with money! I am sick and tired of all the ppl who never say how expensive or cheap their day to day life is... with what you earn to what you spend I really love the reality of your videos... I am proud of you and that's the reason so many ppl following you because you are the friend we all want to have... greetings from Hamburg!!!

[@js-de8vh]

300K a year means nothing to expensive city that she doesn’t drive in

[@SiliaAspa]

@@js-de8vh oh ok! so you make more?

[@MrNilsiboy94]

Hey, Im from Hamburg as well :) Our City seems downright cheap now after watching this. Almost 9$ for a small cup of ice cream is wild lol. That said, Taylor is so right with what she said in the end and it did look really damn good so why the hell not.

[@KarinaSwan]

That's because generally it's considered impolite to discuss such things especially with strangers and not everyone is comfortable with it as well. It's always about people trying to hide things, not so much about being real, as it is a preference for some. Taylor wants to create videos about financial details so for her it might be a neutral subject that she feels comfortable discussing.

[@TilakDas-y8v]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GeorgeMathias1]

The way that you showed your expense was awesome. The combination of traveling, eating out, making your own food and showing us the breakup is one of the most creative video ever. I watch many videos but none where like yours. Keep it up.❤

[@lucifermorningstar9241]

as an investment banker, I genuinely envy this life style, work doesn't leave much time for exploring the city what so ever, but hey love to see someone else enjoying their life, and motivating people to be better everyday, you are amazing Taylor!!!

[@shesgonestella]

I feel this so hard! I just moved here from the UK after watching these types of videos for years and it's kind of a double edged sword because a well-paying job in finance is what enabled me to get a visa and thats amazing. but then.. ok when I do actually EXPERIENCE new york..

[@RickJamesMemorialKitchen]

No need to envy. It’s just not actionable for most people. So rare for someone to be smart enough to go to Ivy, but attractive enough to be a model, and then brave enough to be an entrepreneur in their early 20s. Less of a blueprint for peers more as a person to look up to for my children the future

[@websiteowns]

you are an investment banker, you have insane opportunities for exits and future quality of life. you have a bright future my friend

[@lucifermorningstar9241]

@@websiteowns that's soo nice man, I doo hope to exit into hedge funds in the future, fingers crossed...hope you have a nice life too!

[@Seraphina93]

Please take time off U deserve a life next to work, Even if it’s just a walk in ur lunch break or a park marathon, Or a two-day vacation on the weekends.

[@sadiebowman2682]

Taylor, I can’t believe you have almost 500k subscribers! I remember when you only had, like, 20k. Good for you girl!!! I love your posts and I always look forward to watching them. You’re so transparent which is really refreshing, and I’ve learned so much by watching your channel. Keep up the great work! Sending positive energy and best wishes from NorCal. 😊 🐢

[@hnnhml]

Very very well deserved 🙌🏻

[@hnnhml]

@@fionasmith-bz8ox exactly, because she produces good work she deserves to have 500k subs (and more). Why do you think she’s had it easier in life?

[@NickVetter]

She blew up so fast.

[@ikhlaqahmed7168]

She is trying for a long time 😂

[@rexchiquine6049]

I only need two more subscribers,,,

[@benfosterphr781]

This brought me back to my life before kids, and when I was running my own consulting biz. Enjoy your life now, when you have control over your entire day. (Now, I answer to my employer and have to work REALLY hard to fit in just 30 mins of "me time" in-between getting kids out the door in the morning, 10-15 meetings each day scarfing down my lunch in-between calls, cooking dinner for the kids, cleaning up the messy-ass kitchen and house with toys everywhere, and dipping into sleep time for that precious "me time" after my wife and I divide and conquer chores and try our best to catch up 1:1 at night). Also interestingly enough, Minneapolis food & drink prices are basically on-par with NYC with the same tiers of establishments!

[@Atlas-tp8dw]

sounds like you're a great dad and husband👏

[@tonykwiatkowski]

Ty

[@helloryantanaka]

This was an excellent video for so many reasons. The storytelling, the pacing, the cuts, the simplicity, and the details were very well done. Nice job on continuing to grow as a KZbinr.

[@TaylorBell]

THANK YOU so much 🥹

[@jauntily]

Watching Taylor's salad preparation makes me want to up my game by getting a salad mixing box or bowl with a lid and also get Green Goddess dressing.

[@NinaLeroyxx]

I amaze this lifestyle. My life completely change and I feel so much better. Just finished reading The 21 Former Doctor Secrets Rachel Morgan 👀 IT IS S0 GOOOD

[@marcelmp_]

I admire your bravery Taylor. Recording and talking to the camera while walking in public is so hard. I tried... its embarrassing but worth it lol 😄😄

[@hillaryh5807]

She may have a camera man she’s talking to

[@Kate.Sangalang]

This is my kind of videos, keep them coming, Taylor. Bless us with what its like living in New York City!

[@nejikuzya6710]

Love your content

[@fwijffels]

Interesting how rent is outrageously expensive in New York, but restaurants and takeaway seem quite affordable. I live in Zürich, Switzerland and rent is way lower, but restaurants way more expensive.

[@Chris-ij8tb]

Austin TX here and the food prices are the same if not higher. It is pretty interesting

[@avalonfey]

As someone in Australia doing the conversion maths while watching, that was the part that stuck out to me too. I expected NY to be so much more expensive but eating out in NY is the same or even cheaper than doing so in Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane

[@ghostpos]

You nailed it. I used to eat 1$ slices of pizza and get a whiskey/beer combo for 5 bucks. Rent however ate half my income.

[@mariannap4181]

i live in Paris and i was thinking the same thing. Even the coffee is more expensive

[@meganyoude4129]

Same as London/Bristol in the UK. Prices here are so much more expensive than anything on this vid!

[@storiesinpictures]

NYC has no business being less expensive than London, I'm impressed.

[@peterpapastafidas5584]

Thanks for sharing all these great coffee and food spots in NYC.Everything looks delicious.

[@thirtynine392001]

Insightful video - thanks for the perspective. I live in a very expensive California city, but can eat for two weeks on what you spent during a couple of your days! I go grocery shopping once a week and get take out once a week.

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Taylor giving us what we need for the weekend start 😊🐢 enjoyed this Taylor!

[@yourbestfriendjoshua]

I have no desire to live in or move to NYC but I LIVE for your videos about it.👏🏼

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

Loved it…. Watched all 22.21 minutes….I’ve watched content from start to finish only twice now from anyone…. Both have been your work….bravo 😮

[@mdyaqub7347]

Love to seeing people from different cultures exploring Indian food and experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Indian-themed spots in NYC! It's amazing how Indian cuisine and culture can bring people together across the world. Hope you enjoyed the flavors and had a great time ^⁠_⁠^

[@oruizlavin]

This channel is incredibly refreshing. I recently discovered it browsing through KZbin, and I'm completely hooked. Your dedication to your YT community and the quality of your videos (and content) are truly inspiring and heartwarming. Keep up the excellent work and positive vibes!

[@bw-pi8gu]

You are such a kind and sweet person! Don't trade these qualities for anything else!!

[@luciaruggiero4335]

Love the honesty and integrity of this video. Thank you!!!

[@iceangel96]

I get so energized just watching your videos, I love your vibe and energy ❤

[@auroratorres7873]

You are a beautiful young woman. Enjoy New York City as much as you can. Stay as long as you can afford to because New York City is like no other place on earth. I lived there for 65 years! Had to leave for personal reasons but I do miss certain aspects of it, like the food. There is no food like New York City food! Wishing you lots of luck!

[@michelemarias]

I'm a student of English, and today I found your video, now I follow your channel because I am learning more different and new vocabulary and questions.

[@hastih89]

Taylor, your filming style, your editing and your entire video montage skills are next level now! 👏🏻🏆 🥇😍 You go girl !

[@Aprilhojazz]

Enjoy watching your mini movie! The tone of your voice and the speed of your speech is spot on for me as audience. Feeling intrigued and curious about what comes next. Well done!

[@karenwendling7228]

I’d say it’s more like a round bottom flask, but Florence is close enough. As a chemistry teacher, I salute you!

[@mkl0215]

Hey Taylor, was cool meeting you this week. When you said you were working on a video I didn't realize the coffee shop was literally part of the video. You have great East Village taste although now I'm wondering why I've never seen a celebrity at Cafe Mogador

[@TaylorBell]

So great meeting you too Mark!! Was finishing up editing this video as we spoke 😅 I also haven’t seen a celeb at cafe Mog, only my friends have. What a rip off

[@zephany]

Another wonderful time of being educated and entertained with Taylor! Thanks, girl! You're like me when it comes to coffee. It can be hot or it can be cold, but it can't be in-between!

[@annie_bannainai]

Perfect content to watch before an upcoming trip to NYC - Can't imagine a better way to prepare than to watch your videos. 😍

[@michaelbui6618]

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and 29 years old. Always wanted to live in NYC or close to it in the Jersey suburbs. Fun fact I’m a DoorDasher/Uber Eats driver. Love your down to earth personality.

[@ahmetbakibasci8070]

Couldn’t agree more with the coffee temp bit… need it piping hot or icyyy cold

[@JustineCooksVegan]

Loved this video! Makes me miss nyc soo much!! Just wanted to mention, for some reason the video picture kept getting like blurry at parts throughout for me. Idk if it was something on my end randomly but wanted to let you know in case anyone else noticed this too❤❤

[@NomadSoloTravel]

Love your videos, Taylor!! I really liked how you showed your expenses of what you spend in a week, especially great for tax write offs for KZbin

[@all-rides3257]

Do more LA back home content like Urth Cafe and typical tourist videos like this one! I really enjoyed this video so much as I hope you continue do more soon! ☺️

[@tagbon]

This was interesting and informative. Not just the actual dollar figures, but also hearing about your spending mindset. Also glad to hear that you enjoy Thursday as a precursor to the weekend. Or to call it by it's proper name, Friday Junior 😆Thanks for the video! 🥰

[@TaylorBell]

FRIDAY JUNIOR I love that. Thank you for watching 😊

[@nathanyoder4509]

Surprised but excited for a Friday night vid! I agree sometimes it is nice to loosen up a little on spending. Hope you are having a nice weekend!

[@Suitrags]

The sound design in this is fantastic. Incredible effort goes into your editing 🔥🔥

[@TaylorBell]

THANK YOU so much

[@iwanttoplaywithspringsteen9188]

Your production and editing is just getting better constantly. You are doing the tea thing big style .... As a Brit I find tea after a meal when I’m full works best . Coffee in between on an empty stomach. These are my steadfast rules and stops me having to think .🤔

[@IOSALive]

Taylor Bell, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

[@ftlbaby]

Cafe Mogador is one of my favorite breakfast spots in NYC. Happy it's still going strong as I have not visited since 2016...

[@frawdulent]

I don’t think I can make it through the whole video. I’m cringing so hard and I’m less than a minute in. The chills are too overwhelming.

[@joshuawilliams6800]

You have a Mammut backpack! I bought a jacket from them over a decade ago and it's still nearly as good as new.

[@Lifeislovely111-zl9qz]

Great video! I totally agree with you regarding coffee - lukewarm coffee is the worst! For your coffee/food purchases, are you allowed to write any of those off as business expenses? Also, it sounds like you buy the books you read. Have you ever considered checking out books from the library instead? NYPL is awesome and they have many locations in Manhattan.

[@denverdubois5835]

"It doesn't smell like feet. I kinda thought it would" This is why I really like you. LOL

[@lydiacarns]

Aw, the people at Apollo were so friendly to you! I relate to you about hearing about something so many times and then *having* to try it, haha.

[@SeeliLeck3r]

This eagle scream at 1:53 is underrated 😅 (as an European citizen, I like this “WTF is a kilometer???!!” vibe 😅)

Visiting New York City is on my bucketlist (there's a direct flight from Honolulu to JFK) so I love seeing these cool little cafes, things to do, and places to check out with the prices. Super helpful for ballparking expenses. Been jotting down some of your recs onto my Notion notebook haha. Love it! Keep it coming! ❤🌺🌴☀ mahalo from sunny Hawaii!

[@matthewwardrobe9588]

Really enjoyed watching your videos as always. Interesting to see others weekly spending in comparison to my own. In terms of coffee temp, with you for an americano, either piping hot or cold, but a latte for me is drunk lukewarm.

[@stavan.sanghvi]

I've been watching your vlogs for a long time now and I just wanted to say how much I love them! You're such a cheering and transparent person, and your videos always brighten my day. Best wishes and lots of love to you! Keep up the amazing work! 💖

[@5000shivam]

As an Indian I can say that my parents would have never allowed me to leave my job. But I can say that India and US are different economies. In India there is serious job crisis. It is my personal opinion that you shouldn't have left your job. You're an amazing blogger. I like your videos. Keep cheering the people all around the world.

[@SullyAfgarshe]

[@SPANISHFLYNYC]

Sincerely appreciate it Tee Tee 🙏👊 I'm a former Latina magazine model and NYC dancer gimme a shout out girl lol 😆 luv your channel 🤗🌹

[@caitlinwhite138]

I completely relate to feeling guilty over smaller/frivolous purchases. I was raised by two frugal parents (my dad is a financial advisor) so now I always feel SUPER guilty doing uber eats (I only do it 4 times a month) or buying a coffee or getting an extra fun thing at target. But then I remind myself that I make ~600k a year so an extra ~$300/month in small purchases that make me super happy are SO worth it! Life is short and if u can afford to treat yourself you might as well:)

[@pinkartcat]

can i ask what you do that makes 600k/yr? 😅

[@MarcoAshford]

Casual youtube comment section with 600K income a year lol. Don't worry you are poor here, people make millions here on average.

[@RosierDays]

Loved this! The east village looks so gorgeous 🥰✨

[@Andrew-v2g]

After your videos, it's impossible not to fall in love with New York City

[@Sketchrcat]

Taylor, I spend almost $355.00 per month on food . About $35.00 on car gas . Plus about $11.00 on odds n ends stuff. My rent is only $610.00 a month; for my 3 bedroom upper flat (which includes water). Sheesh; Buffalo NY is way cheaper to live in than NYC. [gas + electric + cable brings my total for month to just $1,500]. I don't eat out much...

[@jerlewis4291]

I live in Buffalo and I've lived in NYC and trust me, there is a whole lot more free things to do in NYC that are amazing. Not to mention the choices of cheap and awesome food. Or really expensive and awesome food. Plus most New Yorkers are pretty friendly and can help you find what you need. I like Buffalo and I think it's great but it's a totally different league than the city. I remember never really being bored. My dad grew up in the city and told me if I was ever bored to just ride the Staten Island ferry and grab a slice of pizza or a sandwich on the island and then ride back. I really liked not having to drive anywhere and pay for parking. I did have a motorcycle so I never paid for parking and it was really easy to find a spot.

[@IamArloFischer]

I was going to go to NYC for a quick 2 days in July, then thought no I will do it when I have more time. But then I watch this video and I am rethinking my decision. I have never spent much time in the East Village. Dammit. Now I need to go and hang out there.

You should go to Abraco in the East Village. I believe they have the best Latte in the city. Their Olive Oil cake is outstanding as well. Great, authentic atmosphere as well.

[@TaylorBell]

Love Abraco!

[@yvonnel7777]

Right there with you on the coffee. I tend to to choose iced while out and about and hot at home. Problem solved lol. Love your vids.❤

[@fkcoolers2669]

I was surprised to hear you're floating this on a content creator salary. The whole market feels over-saturated these days so I thought the money might be drying up there in terms of what the platforms pay out, but sounds like it's not the case. Good for you for being able to optimize this way. Got to the Brooklyn part of the vid and not sure if you've ever tried Four Horsemen in Williamsburg but that's a really nice spot for food and wine, too. Thirst Merchants is also a nice retail shop in Fort Greene if you're looking for natural wines or just more eclectic selections overall. Lastly, check out the book Die With Zero by Bill Perkins if you get a chance. It really expands on your closing thoughts.

[@userb7fg474]
