#HannahElise #WhatISpendinaWeek #NYC - Jak na to + styl
Let me just say this as a 30 year old woman who was a foster child and has lived on my own since the day after my high school graduation. While it’s a privilege to have help, it’s also ok to have and accept help especially from your parents. This idea that people in their early 20’s need to be self sufficient is wild. In many other countries people live at home until they are married. So, yay for doing it on your own but even if you have had or need help along the way, that’s nothing to be ashamed about. So many of my mistakes in my early 20’s came because I HAD no one but myself.
Putting money on the side for rent and utilities while at your parents is such great advice! I had been thinking of doing that and now I definitely will!
!!!!! It’s very much an “out of sight, out of mind” type of thing when you contribute to it, but then having a whole fund for rent & utilities when you need it is SO helpful
@@HannahElise yes I totally agree!
@@HannahElise I'm wondering & asking as I'm moving out next year: what do you plan on doing when that account runs out? Do you plan on staying there and paying out of your loan, do you want to buy property, do you want to move back to a cheaper state... :)
I also really recommend looking into the budget binder system for saving money too it has been life changing for me and wish I would have started forever ago!!
I saved up the downpayment for my condo, plus emergency and moving expenses while living with my parents. Even if you don't plan on buying (or can't right now) it's a really great idea to save up as much as you can for future living expenses while living at home!
Just want to say too, if Hannah's parents were helping her out somewhat financially (which they are not), why would we have to be mad about it...? She's clearly an incredibly hard working person who doesn't take shit for granted, and I guarantee you she'd be really appreciative. I've legit never gotten the sense that she was bragging about anything.
THANK YOU. I don't know why people can't just shut up if they don't like you/don't have anything constructive to say
@@HannahElise truly don't get it. nobody is forcing them to sit down and watch the video that you spent hours creating. like literally do any other activity in the world if youre mad then.
True. Some people just wanna vent their anger on others especially in online world. I've watched her videos for about 2 years and nothing like bragging or condescending manners. Her friendly and sister-like vibe is real to me :) !!
Because that’s why NYC rent is so high- because many 20-somethings get help from their parents, and that lets landlords charge whatever they want, because someone will have their parents pony up.
If more 20-somethings were self-sufficient, city rent would be lower, and there would be more opportunities for housing and therefore work and careers for people who don’t have rich parents.
Part of why, at least.
girl don't be embarassed about the rent, being able to live in manhatten with 22 on your own & self sufficient is QUEEN SHIT. periodt.
(btw i LOVE ur nyc content!)
THANK YOU. I love you 🥺
I lived in the city for 28 years and when money was much better and I’m not convinced
She did not do this on her own she had her mommy and daddy‘s help this is fraud you cannot sit there and say oh I built this on my own when you had somebody else paying the bills…. 😂😂😂
No doubt. I lived with 5 roommates in Washington Heights for the first 10 years I lived there.
@@BaysideFL That’s a whole lot of proof you’ve got going on there about her finances lol
it is absolutely wild to me as a brazilian to see that in the US taxes are not included in the actual price of things, that must be so confusing!! great video again, trust Queen Hannah Elise to always deliver 👑
SAME I live in France and I was like ‘what do you mean without taxes???’
And same thing in Finland. I have been only once in the US and oh my God how confused I was every single time I had to pay my shoppings 😆
Right! It litterally makes no sense! I live in the U.S. and I just want to know the actual price with tax so im not guessing
And to make matters worse, sales tax is different for EVERY STATE 🙃
girlies that is insanity
$35/month for a gym membership in NYC is a bargain! I work at a YMCA in a tiny town in Wisconsin and it costs a little more than that for an individual monthly membership, so go Hannah.
NYC is crazy because a membership at crunch in Pennsylvania is $10 but here it’s $120 like ??? 💀
I live in Hungary, and I pay around 40dollars aa month as a student(!) for the gym, which is pretty good, as the fancier gyms charge around 70 or more. And my hourly wage is about 5 bucks, so...
Yes! I live in a small town in Illinois and it’s $50 a month for the Y!!
@@kertmelinda In Korea, I got a text message from my previous gym saying "Get your discount! 125$ for 5 months" and actually the gym has a variety of machines, wide and not messy. Our minimum wage is around 7.5 bucks per hour. Yes, America looks pretty expensive compared to other countries lol.
@@jathebest2835 it's called inflation 😭
this reminded me when i travelled to the states, i thought everything was so cheap until i went to check out because i did not realise that tax wasn’t included!! here in australia, you never have to pay more than the advertised price. it’s so crazy to see how we all live such different lives in different countries!
I agree - I find it fascinating how things differ between countries, and even between just the states here in the US (because sales tax is different in every state) !!
@@HannahElise wow that's crazy. In Germany tax is the same in every state (it's 19 %) but the tax is always included in the price on the label.
@@hannahvllstr657 It's actually 7% for most fooditems. But jes, it's always included
the "daddy's money" comments always drives me crazy mostly cause i personally am really lucky to have parents that are able to help me with "necessity payments" at the moment like medical bills, school, or any car payments BUT that doesn't mean i've never worked before, or i don't understand the importance of money and budgeting, or i spend all my dad's/my own money on designer items or something like that. i understand it's a huge privilege that i am super grateful for, and i hope to do the same for my future children someday
Amen. So what if they help pay for things? that means they’re good parents who are supporting the kids they wanted to have
It’s so ignorant to comment that to ANYONE. Just say you’re miserable and go 😭💀
we love an independent/self-sufficient queen
thank you SO much for being so honest about what you spend, including literally everything. it’s really refreshing to see how someone my age lives because living is just EXPENSIVE! makes me feel not so bad about having to buy things, love you hannah tysm 🖤
We love a self sufficient queen 👑, I also just moved out of my parents house and yeah the struggle of balancing when we can spend money and saving for rent can sometimes be a struggle but it feels good to know that you are able to do it.
hannah you’re literally one of my biggest inspirations, i strive to be like you every day of my life. keep doing you 🤍
I just ran across your channel. You remind me so much of my daughter. She went away to college about 4 hours away from home and never returned to the city she grew up in. She is so independent. She too saved her money while at home, and had enough saved up to pay her own rent, utilities, food for a year. We were thrilled she was able to remain on our insurance until 27.
As a much older woman than you, I must congratulate you on your journey and ability to have done this at your age! SAVE SAVE SAVE and continue to SAVE! I can look back and see that I could have saved SO MUCH MORE than I have and it makes me sick to think about it now honestly! You're doing a great job at this!
these videos are THE BEST. they’re seriously so insightful & also fun to watch
Omg YAY I’m so glad you like them. I was lowkey nervous to post this LOL
That’s so amazing how you prioritize your money. And how you planned ahead to save money when you move out. I love ur channel and your such an inspiration!
this was so helpful because i’ve wanted to live in nyc when i’m older for a while now and seeing the reality of the expenses is really helpful. instead of someone saying nyc is expensive but not knowing the specifics, i know exactly how much.
Your videos make me so happy!!! Girl don’t be embarrassed or uncomfortable! That rent is NOT BAD for NYC. Also you work hard and deserve everything you have!!❤️
whenever I watch Hannah’s videos it motivates me to get my life together so I watch them as I do everything I’ve been putting off for the entire week lmao
HAHAHAHA I’m glad I can help 😌
Thanks for the transparency with the whole situation. I agreed with living at home and building up a nest egg (again). I'm doing that again, I still want to live in New York for about a year, a year and a half. So I've started budgeting and saving money where I can.
Hey hannah! I love this video bc its literally so accurate as to how expensive living in ny is for literally no reason. I've grown up in ny my whole life and i def recommend doing different shopping trips different days of the week(ex. monday will be grocery shopping if needed, saturday is laundry, etc). I also recommend trying to utilize your kitchen to the best of ur ability bc eating out can become rly costly and end up being the end of u lol. Also I recommend having a menu/meal planning for the week to help u to not spend a lot of money on just random food. If u want, u can prob just look up random recipes. I also recommend since u live in the city to take advantage of pop up stores or free museums, stuff like that. I hope these tips help u a lot, I can't wait for more of your vlogs!!! love u
Totally agree on the menu-planning...this saved me a lot of pennies and prevented unecessary waste when I was a single parent. It's a great habit to have 😊
idk if it's just me but i find it absolutely WILD that just by us watching + enjoying these videos it helps pay for Hannah to I've her dreams ❤ I just think that's so cool!!
I think it’s so cool too 🥺🥲🥺🥲🥺🥲
"I am trying to finish my apartment sometime this decade" is literally a mood. I have been in my apartment for almost a year, and I and my partner are still trying to get this place together. People don't realize how expensive and the work that needs to be put into it. P.s. I love your content and hope to be successful after graduation as you are.
I wouldn't worry as this is the reality for squillions of people! There's a lot of satisfaction to be had in every job done/purchase made though 😊
Just a random message:
Out of all of the youtubers I watched over the years, you are my favourite! I can relate to you so much and you keep your videos very pleasing to watch, your aesthetics are amazing and I’m so proud of where you are right now!
You are very inspiring and kept it real in every posts you have. Keep going beautiful, hope 2022 is treating you better!🤍
😂😂😂😂😂😂
hannah gets me through my worst days. honestly i couldn’t live without these videos. so grateful to have found this page!! i love u hannah!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love you more 🥺
@@HannahElise 🥰🥰
I just love hannah's weekly vlogs! this was so insightful and I always appreciate when youtubers do this.
I don't know if you've done this or not but I personally would really benefit from seeing a budgeting video from you! I've watched you for years and I can tell that we think a lot alike. I struggle with visualizing the money I see in my bank accounts into categories and what I actually need to spend money on and you seem so good at it :) Sending love!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE That you set up a separate bank account for your Rent, Internet Gas and Electric! and that you Do Not touch that account but for those things! and buying items in bulk is SO much more cost effective. You are kicking ass Hannah!
Thank you so much 😭😭
this was such an informative video. being a uni student myself, I truly am really inspired to be able to live in my own apartment some day like you do. Keep up with the great work Hannah❤️
Wow this made me smile 🥺 thank you!
Loved this video Hannah!! So many great tips and helpful info and it was entertaining and fun to watch too ☺️ Thanks for sharing all of this with us!! You’re doing awesome, haters hate because they’re jealous. It’s sad that you have to make disclaimers even though you’ve worked so dang hard to get where you are. The real ones are all rooting for you and are super proud of you 🥳🤍 Sending lots of love!!
You should feel so proud!! It sucks adulting and being 22 and living on your own, in a city you want to live in is huge. Kudos to you...you are strong and powerful.
The effort put on this video makes me really proud of being a real one.
Thank you 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Please tell me I'm not the only one who likes her videos without seeing them because you just know they're going to be perfect?💗
have a wonderful day 💗
🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much
I should thank YOU for making such great content! 🥰💗
You go girl. thanks for putting yourself out there in order to inform us of what life in a big city is like. Love ya!
Hannah’s vids r just so motivating and aesthetic I have a lot of work to catch up on and watching ur vids make me motivated to finish ilyy ❤️🔥
This is so insightful! It’s crazy how much one needs to save up and set aside just to live by yourself, but the separate bank account JUST for utilities is a really good idea!
thank you!!! living alone is expensive but I think it's so worth it for SO many reasons
I'm a monday real one! love watching these on the first day of the school week to get motivated. Also found this so interesting and helpful as I'm about to move into my own apartment for the first time! thanks hannah love u
Currently trying to save up to move out of my childhood home and these type of videos always help me gain a perspective on spending and saving so THANK YOU!! I love you and your content ❤️
i feel proud to know I am one of the people who supports you and allows you to live your dreams!! somehow that thought makes me feel important
Girl you're so admirable! You work so hard and you deserve the life you live , dont be embarrassed of your rent you're living in NYC for god sakes 😊
hannah thank you so much for making this kind of videos, it’s so hepful and fun at the same time 🥺💜
So glad you liked it ❤️
its monday here in singapore when you post every week and it really helps me get the week started well, hope all goes well for you too hannah! 💓
I love you!!! I've loved getting to see you navigate living on your own. I'm getting my own apartment here soon too and it's so encouraging to see how successful you've been.
Hannah, I also wanted to say that my daughter lived with us while she searched for a home to buy. We didn’t charge her a lot of money and she was able to save money for her home payment. She is now a proud homeowner.
I love these types of videos!! Love the openness and honesty!!
I love watching these videos every Sunday! It is basically apart of my routine every weekend. I'm def a real one (:
whenever i feel like my life is out of place, i always watch ur videos AND IT FEELS LIKE FREE THERAPY UGH I LOVE U IM A REAL ONE
You need to make this into a series!!! So insightful.
should I really??
@@HannahElise Definitely!
@@HannahElise yes!!
@@HannahElise YESSS!!
@@HannahElise yes!!
I'd love to see a weekly grocery hall. I recently started living on my own and I love watching those vidoes
Great info.
Will help others thru their finances..saving while you lived at home...fantastic..I have just started to watch you...I'm 74yrs young..you are making yourself proud....God Bless. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for being here and showing up as your genuine self. I just subscribed, love your vibe ✨ 💕
Drink a shot everytime Hannah says "Target" lol.
Girl, this kinda videos are so useful, thanks for it!
Hope you have a great week, girl, love ya and stay safe 🤎.
as always, our Queen NEVER disappoints! It’s really inspiring and at the same time, very informative to see videos such as this. ONE OF THE FRIKIN REASONS WHY I LOVE HANNAH!!!! All of the things she tells us are based on what she experienced, its really touching how she shares all of it with us. Thank you Hannah, for always taking us with you and for sharing your life with us. We will support you always! LOVE YA!!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Thank you for being so kind ❤️
The lighting and set up in the beginning WOWWW immaculate!!!! beautiful
I have follow you for a year and a half, and I truly love your videos. You inspire me so much and make me feel so good. Obviously I still until the end of each video! 💕✨ A real one here.
Idk if this is the first time me noticing she has a lot of books out there ....... Like i have been watching since forever . Gurll can we please get a book recommendation video ?!?!? Like your choices are just going to be * chefs kisses * and we already know that , so pleaseee 😩😩❤️❤️
HAHAHA I have been getting back into reading! I’m always scared to share my opinions on books that I love bc when people hate the books I love I get so sad LOL
i'm a real one💕💕 i love how honest you are hannah!!
:) thank you. Always try to keep it real
I cant believe have can you always manage to fascinate me. Your content is so fun yet pridictable, your personality is so unique that we would know what you would do in your video yet it is so amusing to watch❤❤❤
thank you 🥺🥺
That's an achievement Hannah! We are so proud of you!!
Love this so much and I love your content so much thank you for being such a light and an inspiration! Ilysm and your hard work never goes unnoticed! Have a great day hannah! Happy Sunday
I LOVE YOU 😭❤️
HelloFresh sponsor this QUEEN. I think I need to restart my subscription when school starts too...I like green chef a lot too if you want some more recipe variation.
I love the point where you said mental health comes first, so interior design is so important
Your vlogs helps me survive the whole week.... Lots of love Hannah 💜💜✨
You can’t put a $ amount on the experiences and memories you get when living in such a fabulous city. You will always cherish this time…😁👍🏻💕
I AGREE!!!
okay but can we talk about how good your hair looks????? literally glowing!!!
I loved the video, is so interesting to know this kind of information! love the editing too 💗
ps: are lauryn and julia still coming to nyc? or did I miss something?
AHHH THANK YOU ❤️
They were supposed to come the first week of January, but since COVID is so bad here rn, we decided it would be best to postpone it sadly!
you're vlogs are so entertaining nd I'm absolutely in love with these type of vlogs
I love that you shop on Etsy and support small biz. We sure appreciate it. XOX 🥰
You, Lauryn, & Julia are my life goals!! I’m at the moment where I am ready to move out. Unfortunately I don’t have the money yet, and I need to do some research on an affordable apartment. Hannah you are living my dream life!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!! TELL THOSE HATERS!!!! I WILL GLADLY STAND WITH YOU ON THAT!!!!
HAHAHAHA
I really enjoy your videos and this one is so interesting to watch, I like budgeting videos. I wanted to give a tip on the bottles and cans, you can do a bottle deposit at most grocery stores and you get that bottle/can tax back! All you do is bring the bottles/cans back to the store and then scan them in a machine, you will get a receipt and then bring it to the counter and they pay you. I did this all the time when I went to school out east.
you inspire me in so many ways hannah you have no idea how it helps me on a weekly basis 🤍😔🤌🏼 again, luv u!!!
🥺🥺🥺 I love you too
“At the end of the day, I’m spending that money on my mental health.” YASSS that’s so important omg!! I loved this video so much! I wonder if Graham Stephan will react to this 🤔🤔
And your mental health is PRICELESS !!!
i was literally thinking ab if graham would react to this a second ago. i think he’d approve
@@oliviagrace5311 I do too lol
ofc he will, those are his favorite videos
100% agree feeling good in your space is soooo important
You always come with the best video ideas!! 😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Xx
this was definitely a trend on youtube like 2 years ago but I wasn't able to participate until now 😂😭
Loved this video Hannah!! Your videos are always what I watch if I'm feeling sad because I love watching your videos! "I'm a real one!!"
watching all the ads in every video because I'm here for the journey and you're living my dream in NY so I'm here to support!
If I skip the video, does she still get the money from it?
Hannah, you should try the billie razor and the hairitage dry shampoo (the best one ever). Next time it snows can you make a snow day in NYC video!?
Omg I will try these when my current ones run out!!! Also I WISH it would snow here lmao I feel like every time it snows everywhere else, it always misses us 😭
Billie razors are great and much less expensive than the ones I used to use!
Hannah helping young adults to make good life decisions 😭😭😭😭😭
trying my best 🥺
Hannah I'm just so proud of you for getting to where you are!
thank you so much 😭❤️
@@HannahElise moving anywhere by yourself, let alone the big juicy Apple, is exciting but also HARD! I hope you feel proud of yourself too 🥰
i've been planing on moving out for a few weeks now and i didnt even know where to start and putting money on another bank account is a great way to start! thank you!!!
#realone you are so inspiring Hannah and we’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished! It refreshing to see real content and a CZcamsr being so honest. Also Charley?? THRIVING. See you next week! 💛
Charley is the true queen honestly
@@HannahElise you know those study with me videos where you’re watching someone do homework for an hour? The same thing but with Charley, chilling. A masterpiece
I am a real one ❤
In Egypt , we stay with our parents untill we get married
And when girls tell their parents about moving out they disagree and think that this is 🤬
I hope that this changes ❤
Having separate accounts for 'living expenses' and 'fun money' is how we run our finances in our home too...It helps to keep things organized so we always know we have all of our bases covered :)
Been watching Hannah's videos/your videos since 2020, and I loveeeeee loveeee loveeee all u'r videos. I'm so happy that I found your channel, like seriously, no regrets. All u'r videos were very inspirational, knowledgeable/self help, motivational. Supeeerrr Loveeee ❤️. More videos to come 💕 Loveee youuu Hannah ❤️❤️❤️
It is so weird how cost can differ from country to country (or even from region to region). I always wonder what the earnings are vs cost (not that I need to know from anyone particularly). Just to give an idea of cost varying, what Hannah pays for a week is what most people pay for their loans for a house per month in Belgium (depending on how expensive the loan was of course).
But it is always nice to have an idea of expenses around the world I think :)
Hi! If you recycle the bottles you get the 5 cents back to use towards groceries and things!
WHAT do I have to recycle them at a specific place??? I just put them in the recycling at my apartment!
@@HannahElise In a few states, NY included, you collect bottles and cans separately and take them to somewhere that does redeemables and you get the 5 cents back. It takes up extra space to recycle them separately and you’d most likely need to physically take them somewhere rather than leaving them out with your usual recycling, but depending on how easy it is to redeem in the city it could be worth it. Where I live there are some grocery stores where you can do it, or there are separate stores just for redeemables.
I just moved here to NYC too, a month ago! Super inspiring and relatable videos, just subscribed. Can’t wait to watch the rest. Keep it up!
The piano moment 😭, girl live your best life. We’re out here rooting for you
my cat gaslights me like that all the time, especially with shortages and everything in stores 😂 also the meat thermometer was a smart purchase!!!
Like girl?????? I spent $40 for this
@@HannahElise #ungrateful smh
It’d be really interesting to see this in a month long time frame, which I know is super long, but I think it’d be nice to see how each week can vary. Also curious if you budget in any way? I live on my own and don’t budget but try to spend as little as possible. Interesting to see how others manage
I don't budget, just try to be conscious about what I'm buying and make sure I'm only spending money on things that will actually be worthwhile in my life!
Where have you been my whole life? Just found your video recommended! So happy❤️
Omg Hannah!!! I have been following you since you were at Temple and now look at you!! 😍 you are a total inspiration and your videos are the beeeest 💓
Hannah, honey, dear, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. The easiest shit is saying shitty stuff behind a screen while not doing anything that will benefit world or at least their lives. You're doing great sweetie, fuck haters.
Thank you 🥺 lol I’m just too anxious of a person
Girl you ride that health insurance until you're 26 to the day!!!! I'm married and 24 and still on my parents health insurance bc my employer does not offer it, the marketplace is CRAZY expensive!!!!! RIDE IT OUT AND RIDE IT WITH PRIDE 😂
RIGHT LMAOOOO my mom gets it through her work and our whole family is riding on it, I will be DISTRAUGHT when I have to get my own 😭
I love how transparent you are
thank you :) I try to keep it as real as I can!
It is not a true Hannah vid without a coffee sip ☕️ 👏🏼 love it
That batiste dry shampoo is like 3€\$5 in Europe 😂 why is it so expensive in the us?
I DONT KNOW. I did get the biggest bottle they offer but even then, it’s even $3 more expensive in New York than in Pennsylvania for the SAME THING 💀💀💀
To the people who keep telling her to stop cursing. Why? It makes no sense. Millions of people curse and you get pressed about one vlogger cursing in her videos? She’s 22 she can do what she wants! Don’t tell her to change just for your sake.
Right lmao it’s called don’t watch then 💀
I love your vlogs because you keep it real. I had to get things for my apartment I do understand
Thanks for being real and honest. Much love!
Graham Stephan anyone?
