Hey guys, it's Syd.

I have been avoiding filming this video because I don't want to know how much I spent in New York.

And I also don't want you guys to know how much I spent in New York.

Every time I leave my apartment, minimum $100 down the drain.

And I don't know how.

That is what inspired this video is I looked at my credit card and I was like, what happened?

So yeah, I'm getting my day started late.

It's 1 p.m., but I thought I would pick up my camera,

film how much I spend every single day in a week living in New York.

Please go easy on me, guys.

Starting the day out strong,

just spent $9 on a latte.

Something about me that I'm not proud of is I will spend all of my money on coffee.

Here's how I justify this.

Because I work for myself,

I work from home, and I don't have an office space.

I like to go out to a coffee shop every single morning because it gets me out,

it gets me in like a routine.

So I consider this $9 latte basically my rent to work at the coffee shop for about 3-4 hours.

This is how I can justify this in my head.

This is how it makes sense to me.

even though $9 is actually absurd.

I do have a punch card here.

I'm a loyal member.

Every eight coffees, I get a free one.

Everything adds up, so I'm gonna work here and enjoy this $9 latte.

When I got home, I desperately needed to do laundry.

One thing about my apartment is I don't have in-unit laundry,

which means I do have to pay for it.

It's $3 to wash, so through my laundry in.

While my laundry's going, I thought I'd go for a little walk.

I love walking on the West Side Highway.

It's so beautiful.

This is my gym replacement in the summertime often,

and it's also free, so that's a perk.

So I just texted one of my friends,

and she's going to meet me down there in 20 minutes.

That's my update.

It is a little bit chilly.

I'm having one of those weeks where I just I've been feeling

so lonely I feel like I miss my family like extra

oh hold on hello Melissa I think you have the wrong

number I'm with Helga hi hi everyone guys Helga is like

a real life angel she's just like the sweetest person ever

my mood's always lifted I'm no longer lonely literally same can I show them your nails oh Yes, of course.

Look at her nails.

These are real, right?

They're real.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Real nails.

Always real.

Look how beautiful.

Oh, my nails could never.

Thank you.

No, I can do your nails.

All right, guys.

I'm back for laundry.

That means I'm about to spend three more doubles.

dinner is served this oh wait we do care

if you're in the background like hey am i she's cooking

dinner i'm about to sit down to eat dinner we actually usually eat together we usually like coordinate our meals

but i was just in a rush i'm having leftovers this

is one of our favorite meals to have it's just

so easy

and it's actually makes for good leftovers this is one of

my rotation dinners though it's ground beef white sweet potato cottage

cheese okay hear me out it's good i don't know why i really doubted this

but together it tastes great iceberg lettuce

and hot honey this is kind of like a little bowl

that olivia came up with and showed me i've been trying to not eat out so much during the week.

One, cause financially, two, just it's like so much better, healthier.

And I think I've been doing a lot better at that this year.

You guys know I've been golfing and I really don't have any golf clothes.

Not that I need like this perfect outfit,

but for like the club,

I need something to wear.

I've literally been just wearing leggings.

So I just went on ThredUp and I found a couple of things.

I don't know, I just got this skirt and like tank top.

I love ThredUp, it's so great.

They have good pieces that are inexpensive.

My total, $55.03.

Not too bad.

These are the things that I got.

I think I'm safe for the night though.

I think I'm done spending money today.

I don't think I'll buy anything else.

I better not.

Good morning.

I was supposed to go to the gym, didn't happen.

I actually, I'm kind of upset.

I like, I'm upset with myself about it.

I'm starting my morning making a smoothie.

This is my favorite smoothie ever.

I actually got DMs from you guys saying that you made this.

Can't even explain how happy that made me.

To see you guys making something that I make every day,

I don't know, it was just so cool.

100

So many of you guys love it.

101

It's just the best smoothie recipe ever.

102

I feel like I've really perfected it.

103

I'm getting coffee with actually a girl who does YouTube too, her name's Isa.

104

If any of you guys watch her or know her.

105

I don't really need a lot of other creators that often.

106

I feel like most people socialize more than me.

107

I think I'm just antisocial or something,

108

but I'm really excited to meet her in person.

109

This is the secret ingredient in my smoothies, the compound ips.

110

Hey guys, I'm with Issa.

111

Hi.

112

Oh my gosh, we have the same camera on.

113

Well, you guys can't see mine.

114

This is the best camera.

115

Canon, the best.

116

Face-spin is what I spend in a week.

117

Wait, I'm spending a week,

118

I'm doing what I spend in a week.

119

No, no, no, no. Today?

120

Yes, yes.

121

122

That's crazy.

123

I spent zero dollars because Ysa bought me my coffee, guys.

124

How sweet.

125

I spent, yeah, so Ysa spent, it's too nice.

126

Wait, she bought some pastries, guys.

127

You guys have to try Radio Bakery if you're in New York,

128

Earl Grey Morning Bun, and a PB&J croissant.

129

We're gonna do a taste test.

130

Yes, I have no original idea.

131

Cheers!

132

134

Mmm, they're good.

135

So fresh.

136

They baked it out before.

137

What do you rate it?

138

They're fucking nine.

139

Oh, yeah, that's good.

140

So I stumbled upon this market.

141

One of the things I love the most about New York is there's just the most random pop-ups

142

and markets and foods to try.

143

It looks like they have some Jamaican food,

144

kind of like a lot of random things.

145

And honestly, I'm like a little bit hungry and I kind of want to try something.

146

Just something small.

147

I feel like I need to.

148

This is so cool, guys.

149

Like what is happening?

150

I just spent $12 on these Brazilian cheese balls.

151

It comes with this little chive sauce.

152

I feel like a food reviewer.

153

Mmm.

154

This is really good.

155

It's like a little bit doughy, which I love.

156

When my parents visit me in a couple of weeks,

157

I'm gonna take them here.

158

Worth every penny.

159

And then this is me running really late later to meet my friend.

160

I'll go for dinner.

161

I was at home and suddenly fell asleep for two hours.

162

I literally never naps, so I don't know what the heck happened.

163

Anyways, I am going to dinner with my same friend as last night, Helga.

164

I was kind of last minute.

165

I was just like, wait, what are you doing?

166

So yeah, we're gonna get Cura Vida.

167

I literally love this spot, it's so good.

168

Dinner time, she's back.

169

Two days in a row.

170

I got a summer chicken bowl with pepper avocado, pineapple, Helga.

171

I got salmon balls.

172

We're so far away from each other.

173

This is a $20 dinner.

174

It's gonna be so worth it.

175

I love this place.

176

184

I got mini M&Ms and strawberries.

185

Kind of a vibe in here.

186

I'm kind of loving this for myself.

187

I actually did have plans with a friend after this that sort of fell through,

188

which is also why I needed a pick me up.

189

Oh wait, how much was this?

190

I think it was like $8 guys.

191

I spent so much of my money on food.

192

The last time I looked at my Amex bills,

193

all of my money was on food.

194

You'll see that this week.

195

Long time no talk.

196

I'm on my way to dinner.

197

Today I was stuck in front of my laptop all day long.

198

Since it's Saturday, my boyfriend and I are going to go on a little dinner date.

199

One of our favorite restaurants.

200

It's called One White Street in Tribeca.

201

So I'm on my way there.

202

This is my date night outfit.

203

I'm taking the cab because I'm running late.

204

I think it's like $15 ish. $15 was all I spent on date night because my sweet lovely boyfriend got me dinner.

205

We had such a great date night and then the next day you are seeing that right.

206

I am wearing the exact same outfit.

207

Please don't ask.

208

We were running a little late.

209

This was actually Mother's Day so we took an Uber out to see his family.

210

The only thing I bought this day were flowers for his mom of course.

211

These ones were beautiful and they were also $60.

212

Sorry I'm trying to balance vlogging with my boyfriend versus just

213

being alone i usually just try to be in the moment

214

anyways now you're all caught up good morning guys i'm back

215

at the office starting my day as usual doing work i was able to redeem my punch card

216

so i got a free coffee today best possible way to start my day

217

so i did spend nothing

218

so far yes i did forget to show it again before

219

i drank it i do have a birthday brunch for my friend in a little bit

220

so i'm gonna go pick up part of her gift for her

221

so right across from the the coffee shop there's this little gift shop

222

and i need a bag for her birthday gift i have like the gift itself they have

223

so many cute bags here i picked up this very helga birthday bag also she loves matcha

224

and i saw this matcha chocolate that i had to add to the gift

225

and she also loves flowers and always always gets me flowers for no reason

226

so i had to also add some

227

and then we surprised her it was a surprise birthday brunch and she was actually surprised she's usually not

228

brunch ended up being $54 expensive but I've been wanting to try this place for

229

so long their bagels were really good I'm a sucker for

230

a good bagel then I took an impromptu stop at Walgreens

231

I went in for one thing I always end up with like five really needed some allergy medication

232

so yes it's true the rumors are true I'm going to

233

the gym today ever since I got back for my friend's birthday brunch.

234

I was on a two hour and 30 minute hold related to health insurance.

235

So I think the number one thing I wanna do is literally run my anger out on a treadmill.

236

I don't know.

237

Try to do the iced protein latte with sugar-free vanilla.

238

Good morning, guys.

239

I started the day off with the Dunkin' Latte.

240

I actually got something different.

241

I wanted to try their vanilla protein latte and it's really good.

242

It's like less sweet than I thought,

243

which I kind of like.

244

$7, but well worth it.

245

I love Dunkin'.

246

Starting off the day grabbing groceries because I have nothing.

247

I usually go to Whole Foods just because it's really close to me and I can easily walk there.

248

Walking home is another story,

249

especially if I have a lot of groceries,

250

so I guess we'll see.

251

Workout of the day complete because I did just walk home with all my groceries.

252

I actually really need one of those grocery carts.

253

Everyone keeps sending me them.

254

I did need to stock up on some things and this will be good for me so I don't eat out.

255

I feel really guilty when I eat out,

256

when I have a ton of groceries.

257

So I wanted to do a little quick haul.

258

I love, you guys know I love grocery hauls.

259

And I might as well show you my favorite things that I got.

260

So actually do you guys like grocery hauls?

261

Like please let me know if it's just me i'll stop doing them granola Blueberries

262

and strawberries for yogurt bowls mini bell peppers are the best snack crackers

263

and hummus to go along with it Protein powder for my

264

smoothies cacao nibs also for my smoothies bananas frozen kids meals

265

because i'm a child I'm addicted to smart sweets frozen yogurt bars ground beef some oatmeals

266

and cotton rounds That is everything I got,

267

you know, was it worth 150 dollars?

268

I don't know but probably not.

269

Anyways, time to put all of this away in my fridge.

270

Later that night, my cousin asked me to go see a movie at an outdoor theater in Manhattan.

271

Update, we're at the movie.

272

No one's here.

273

Well, no one's here.

274

Do you want to say hi?

275

Hey, what up?

276

This is my cousin.

277

I'm Tori, her cousin.

278

We go way back.

279

this outdoor theater experience costs 27 with popcorn we got the upgrade it was 23

280

if we didn't very worth it well actually i don't know yet we haven't seen the movie

281

but like this is a fun activity to do that isn't like crazy expensive

282

all right guys so we officially made it a week

283

well six days the inevitable time has come it is time

284

to see how much i spent i'm blurring my feet don't

285

get any ideas do i just rip the band-aid off i ended up spending 533 dollars

286

and nine cents the sad part is this doesn't even include

287

my rent um i'm trying to look at what i spent the most on

288

and i feel like a lot of it was food food coffee and sweet treats also convenience like Ubering.

289

To be honest, this was a good week for me.

290

I didn't make any like insane big purchases.

291

It can get worse than this.

292

Having lived in Minnesota before this,

293

New York is so expensive.

294

People are not lying when they say that.

295

It is.

296

You cannot leave the apartment without spending at least 50 bucks.

297

I feel so lucky to ever even be able to live in New York in the first place

298

because I never would have been able to afford this when I was living in Minnesota.

299

This was fun.

300

I hope you guys enjoyed this.

301

Time to sit with this number in my head.

302

Thanks for watching.

303

Please don't judge me.

304

Actually, you can judge me.

305

It's okay.

307

Bye.
