Hi friends! This took AGES to edit but it's finally done ~ I tried to give the most accurate representation of my week and how much I spend day by day - It's definitely not lavish, but definitely a realistic look into what I really spend living and working in NYC ft. a few weekends and days in my life as a software engineer :)

This actually feels realistic and helpful. Most of these types of videos people do it on days they have extravagant expenses which totally ruins the idea. Yes things come up (like the bday kbbq dinner) but doing it on a day you're buying new camera gear.....cmon now. Also love the subway tracking, ever since they switched to the capped rate i wouldve just taken that and divided it per day but to see it costs $5.50 to go anywhere in NYC hits differently and makes you think.

Investing in the gym seems so valuable!! I think it’s important to always have at least 1 non basic life expense is so important

2 to 3 times a week going climbing/bouldering is good for now because at the beginning you have to strengthen the joints in your hands and it takes longer to strengthen than muscles. Great vlog as always!
