What I Spend in a Week as a 27 Year Old in London | Costs to Live Alone in London

All my expenses as a 27-year-old living in London alone.
And did I just use my friend's roommate's dog in my thumbnail to clickbait, perhaps... but did it work? 😂

Your skin is amazing! Flawless & radiant.❤ That was immediately apparent.

[@mervesimsek585]

Enjoying to watch your daily life Monica, keep it up 💌

[@krittikaghosh6812]

I love your videos so detailed and attention oriented...your London living expenses vlog blew my mind away and after that I watch all your vlogs!

[@MonicaXGuan]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@georgegabriela5737]

The editing is so good! I love your videos

[@MonicaXGuan]

Thank you 💕

[@taylorbrown2701]

Adore your videos girl

[@MonicaXGuan]

Aw thank you 💕

[@bettyaugust5623]

Love the video - so realistic! Would you have any tips on job hunting in London as well? :)

[@harrietmvb]

I found your channel a little while ago and love it but I believe you’re living in the area I grew up in! It’s always so cool to see places I recognise in your videos :) xxx

[@MonicaXGuan]

Haha aw it probably is!

[@samanthaquicknew]

Glad to see a new vid! Would you ever consider a monthly spend video? With more of an overview/highlights so it doesn’t have to be long

[@MonicaXGuan]

I'll give it a go!

[@misS2juliana]

Missed your videos! ☺️☺️

[@MonicaXGuan]

🥺💕

[@nathanaelshing]

this video makes me want to spend a week in the life of monica 😌

[@MySamir05]

love your video

[@jaratcho]

If you enjoy Thai food, there are two cute restaurants I would recommend in central London called Greyhound Cafe (Tottenham Court) and another called Supawan (Kings Cross). Would love to hear your thoughts if you do try them!

[@MonicaXGuan]

Ou thanks for the recommendations! Will check it out 🤩

[@denno7998]

Love your videos, I would love to come London and meet you I live in Birmingham

[@libellulareading8859]

Hello, do you mind telling me where the rug in your room is from? Also, the coffee making sequence was very calming lol

[@MonicaXGuan]

Ah I actually got it second hand so I'm not sure where it's from 😔

[@mely2959]

I call it a granny trolley too 😂😂 So handy to have though

[@MonicaXGuan]

Haha honestly a life saver

[@rimzalia1362]

Consider sharing where you buy Osyter Card and your experience using Osyter card vs Visa card wave

[@georgegabriela5737]

would you consider adding an amazon affiliate links with your favourite products? also, what editing program do you use? I was thinking of learning to edit and trying to do social media(particularly youtube) and was wondering about the sound whenever you pay for something. please, don't stop making videos in the never future! you are one of my comfort youtubers and I see you as a virtual friend xD p.s i am 24 living in london.

[@MonicaXGuan]

Aw you're so sweet! 💕 and great idea, I'll put together an amazon storefront! For editing I use premier pro right now and for music I still use the free version of thematic so no need to pay for music. :) I used to use final cut pro and I think it's way easier to use but I got premier for free with my work so I switched over. 😅

[@bellavania5753]

im living off almost p,roughly 900aud per week in melbourne and im guilty of searching vids of people with similar spending and lifestyle to do justice on my spendings :) enjoying ur vids!!!so great

[@angiegwee7553]

Love your video - how long do you spend in a vlog video? :) Does it takes up loads of your time?

[@MonicaXGuan]

Hmmm depends on the video! But editing typically takes me 1-2 days.

[@sanaabhatti592]

Monica i love your earrings! Where are they from?

[@MonicaXGuan]

A local brand called Hortons England :)

[@sanaabhatti592]

@@MonicaXGuan thanks!!

[@khadijalateef8360]

whats the yoga studio you go too ?

[@VenusEudora]

Hey Monica! What phone service provider do you use? Do you use a SIM card? I’m looking at plans and would love some advice!

[@MonicaXGuan]

I use EE! I just kinda got lazy to change after I got my SIM from the airport but I have a plan that’s £10 a month for 8gb

[@VenusEudora]

@@MonicaXGuan thanks! I will check them out :)

[@GA-uy5wh]

Do you manage to save aswell? Do you ever worry in the future about buying a home etc? No judgement just curious

[@MonicaXGuan]

No worries! So I do still save a few hundred pounds a month and I actually did already buy a property back in Canada which I rent out now. My next one will probably be with my partner so I’m a bit more relaxed about that for the few years I’ll be in London. 😅

[@DannyRodeck]

Hi Monica! I'm moving soon, do you have any advice on which are in your opinion the best Zone 2 areas to live? I wanna live alone.

[@MonicaXGuan]

hmmm depends what you like but I would say a lot of younger people are gravitating to around the hackney area!

[@DannyRodeck]

@@MonicaXGuan Thanks! I'm 26 and with a lifestyle that seems similar to yours. Any other zones you'd also recommend! Finding good deals is so hard!!

[@MonicaXGuan]

@@DannyRodeck hmm ya tbh the market right now is so hot. honestly anywhere near a tube line and you can afford it is good enough in London 😂

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

No Amalfi coast video?

[@MonicaXGuan]

Soon! 👀💕
