434 for a week in NYC doesn't seem too bad, imo. I really liked this video-you are just real about your life and what goes into it. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
hey marcos, i discovered your channel a few days ago and I admire you so much for your personality and work. I'm just 16 and don't do a lot of "work" except studying and a few curricular activities. i look up to you now and you're definitely an inspiration for me right now because just imagining have a life in new york, doing your engineering degree from UC Berkeley, training for the olympics, is like a dream for me, I light even just thinking about it. thankyou for sharing your life here with us, very grateful. i hope I get to meet you someday soon.
As an older person, I found this testament to prudent living refreshing. What was less clear is whether Marcos doesn't seek to live larger because he does not have any desire or need to do so or whether he is simply incredibly self-disciplined. Or perhaps he is saving his money for travel; I don't think his most recent Instagram reels were shot anywhere near the Long Island Railroad line.
There’s nothing more heartbreaking then seeing your pet in a plastic cone after a surgical procedure. So glad that, like me, you discovered the soft memory foam collar. So worth 20 bucks. Oh and the Canon showed noticeably more detail in the background. Check the door on the left as you switched back and forth.
'Strong person' - Some of us actually enjoy living like this. If you can't be happy and enjoy your own company, you're not going to be happy by just adding someone else ..... :) 🤔😆🤣
I’m not sure how I stumbled upon your video. I’m sure I’m not in your preferred demographic. In a million years our lives would never have crossed…. and here I am watching a 21 year old in NYC living his best life! I find it fascinating to see how others are living. It did my heart good to see such a young person have his 💩 together! Good for you! You are light years ahead of many of your peers, and with your clear head and good work ethic the sky’s the limit. I was very impressed with your cooking! The gnocchi looked amazing. I’m a cat person too, so that really melted my heart. You take such good care of Loki. You’re definitely on the right track. I wish you much happiness and success! 💗🙏
I did on-call also as a Software Engineer for a little over 1 year, but then I couldn't handle it anymore because of too many calls during the night (2, 3, 4, 5 AM). At the start it was good, because it meant more money (although it was fixed pay, regardless of the number of incidents). But then it started being from 1 week every 1,5 months to 1 week per month; then 2 weeks per month and I started getting burned out. Be careful to not let on-call affect your health.
That sounds more like support than software engineer and was a toxic company. I've worked as software engineer for many years and mostly you never have to do overtime Edit: woops I didn't see you mention on-call. We don't even have those job descriptions where I'm from. Interesting. I guess it's the kind of projects that requires such an incident thing
I feel so much better health wise when I make food at home and I will freeze a lot of leftovers so that food waste isn’t a big issue. But yeah groceries are so expensive in NYC but eating food out here that’s cooked in cheap oils is not worth it. Try looking into freezing unused ingredients or full meals so they act like “frozen dinners” when you need them!
This was very informative, I'm looking into living by myself soon so seeing how people go about it like groceries vs. eating out, pet expenses and what not, is helpful! And you're more relatable than others who do these vids and spend way too much on things normal people don't buy.
A great way to start Monday May 1, 2023. Great content and channel. Marcos definitely living a epic life in NYC. Much continued success and happiness 💪👑
I would say the shoes are legit for a weekly cost as it is part of your clothing allowance. Larger purchases such as the camera would be quarterly and thus you could divide the cost by 13 weeks. Your rent is high but you probably don't own a car which would be an equal trade off. That would put you around $700 for the week or $3000 for the month which is probably in the middle of the spectrum for NYC.
I really like the look and feel the Sony produces. Its crisp and clear. The Canon is more moody and almost as if it has a mood filter built in. Which can be appropriate for certain videos. Your meals look great tbh. Take care friend 💙💜
1)I am glad to see you being responsible with your cat. Neutering and spaying are important things to do if you are not breeding them. 2)The second camera has a different coloring than that first, the wall looks redder on the canon I think.
Good day! It’s my first time watching your video and it inspires me very much. Stay safe, stay healthy, keep doing what makes you happy and please continue to inspire people. Thank you once again.😊😊😊
I think you should bring Loki outside the room..he need fresh air from bored at the room and smell something different outside..hope Loki always stay healthy..and have new friend for loki
Today was the first time trying Starbucks, I opted to indulge both myself and my sister in their "coffee," but I have to confess, I couldn't quite grasp the universal excitement surrounding their coffee. It not only left my taste buds unimpressed but also struck me as rather expensive given the portion size.
I think for most people it’s just not having other options, or never trying the other options. I lived in a small town with pretty much only Starbucks for coffee shops until recently I moved to a bigger town with many local coffee shops. Since I learned the greatnesses of other coffee shops, I never go back to Starbucks lol.
no one cares about starbucks regular coffee lol people go for the speciality drinks. For black or plain coffee you can literally go anywhere else and it'll be better lol.
Some what like mine and I’ll be moving to New York soon. Kind of excited being alone over there. Love architecture and fashion so being in a city like this will keep me busy going through all the shops. I also like to teach myself new dishes to cook.
Love the new content Marcos!! It's great to see your Channel grow like this!! (I prefer the voice over rather than the subtitles though, but that's a personal choice)
Thank you for sharing life there in the big apple. Your Little one is cute and I like pet walking container!!! That is really tohave the pet looking outside and other people notice your pet as well. Too cute!!!
Loving this type of week in the life content! Inspiring to see that you get out and are pretty active even on work days. I personally find it really hard to find the motivation to exercise with remote work. Loki is the cutest! Splurges on cats are never a waste of money! 🥰 Sony camera looks much better. Lightning looks brighter, color contrast doesn't look as harsh as the current camera, feels more professional, you look more awake (skin looks really nice with Sony). And the slightly blurred background on the Sony looks great. That said, Idk if it's worth $2.5k... maybe if you sell the current one, it'll be easier to justify the upgrade.
Yeah exactly! I think I'll sell the old one so the damage is reduced to my wallet haha when you don't wanna go workout is exactly when you SHOULD work out, it's all about discipline :) appreciate the comment!
I enjoy your videos. Thank you. I swam competetively from elementary school through college. Great sport. Best of luck to you. Cheers to you and Loki from New Jersey.
love your editing style! & nyc definitely gets expensive so enjoying home cooking is definitely helps :). and the not eating out challenge, i’ll have to try that one day for myself too haha 🥲
Sadly Certain News Outlets Continues To Slam New York City.But Any Large City In The "World" Is Expensive. And The Same Goes With Crime. If You Have The Means To Live In A Fabulous City, Especially When You Are Young. Enjoy, Enjoy, And Don't Apologize To Anyone. You Deserve It!! Love Your Channel From San Diego.🌴
All that food....looks delicious! What about your rental and utility expenses? Just some feedback, if I may.....I find it a wee bit difficult to focus on the video and the captions at the same time. Sometimes I miss reading the captions altogether and have to keep going back. Else, all is top notch. 🙂👍
Hey Marcos! New here. I'm having fun watching your videos. It's good to know that you know hot cook or make your own food. Rooting on you bro. From the Philippines 🇵🇭😊👍
That subway to gym transition at 4:03 was clean! Awesome stuff man - I'm working on a what I spend in a week video right now so I'm getting some inspiration around RUclips haha
Thanks for posting this. I lived in New York city in the mid 60s my expenses were nothing like yours. In fact I lived in a wreck controlled apartment which cost $78 a month. A typical day. My food run about six dollars. Times have changed. Good luck with your Olympic pursuits.
1) your hair looks good you look more refreshing and energized. So cute 😊 2) sony camera is better than canon. Picture seems more brighter??? Idk there is a difference to me though
Amazing vid as always! The quality between the two cameras def shows a noticable difference imo. Though the improvement is dope, you could honestly use an iphone and I'd still watch religiously. Quality content trumps quality resolution. But both is obv better 😆Cheers fam!
I think the skin tones from the Canon are more flattering. They give you a hint of a tan. Perhaps the Sony colours can be adjusted for a similar effect.
Nice vid enjoyed it so much. So amazing this city you have people who can spend 5000 a week and walk around laughing and loving life then you have people who if they spend 30 dollars they have to find something not to spend on(usually involves skipping a meal) in order to make the rent. Incredible city.
so refreshing yet calming to your vlog despite you are also still on holiday. Have a great vacation in Taipei and Japan, Marcos. Loki would be thrilled to see you when you're back :)). That skateboard needs to be replaced soon :)
Do you have commuter benefits at work? That gives you pre tax money to put toward subway which saves you whatever % of tax you usually pay. Makes that $2.75 a little more bearable
Maybe it's a contributing factor but i did recently get off s strong acne medication called Accutane that really helped clear my skin. Genetically I'm kinda more proned to breaking out so have to watch what i eat quite carefully!
All I can say is I admire you for everything you have and only wish I had your intelligence and good looks to have succeeded when I was young. God Bless.
Very interesting. Lucky you getting free food at office. Can you prorate rent and utilities into weekly expense or am I being too intrusive? Lighting is better on Alpha, I think.
434 for a week in NYC doesn't seem too bad, imo. I really liked this video-you are just real about your life and what goes into it. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
I love in deep Southern Illinois and that is 2.5 months of mortgage for me, Yet, it is Southern Illinois and not NYC, lol.

Nah its because in NYC everything is overpriced. So you can only afford simple life unless you raking in big bucks

Oh and the Canon showed noticeably more detail in the background. Check the door on the left as you switched back and forth.
It takes a strong person to be this good-looking and yet unattached, living alone and free from relationship’s drama which can be very draining.
Or just be an introvert lol
He has a girlfriend he's doing the long distance relationship thing
'Strong person' - Some of us actually enjoy living like this.

King of NYC RUclips! He’s taking over 🗽
That's right 💪😤

Loki is sooo cute! 😻 Hope he's recovered well!
I never imagined myself to cross on your channel. I am now inspired to do groceries rather than eating out. Ugh, thank you!!!!

never ever before have I seen a cat backpack, so cool.
It's so cool!!
I'm really not a cat person but your cat is seriously so cute it makes me want one!
Get one :)

Love the new content Marcos!! It's great to see your Channel grow like this!!

Haha trying to do a little mix but thank you!!!
So cool you have a kitty to pal around with…… what a cutie 🤗💙
Thank you for sharing life there in the big apple. Your Little one is cute and I like pet walking container!!! That is really tohave the pet looking outside and other people notice your pet as well. Too cute!!!

here again to support you! doing your FT job and at the same time enjoying your hobby as a utuber :)) keep up the good work!!
Appreciate the support as always!!
Thanks for another one Marcos!
Hey Marcos! New here. I'm having fun watching your videos. It's good to know that you know hot cook or make your own food. Rooting on you bro. From the Philippines 🇵🇭😊👍
Congratulations on the new camera, but since you asked, as you did the change-ups, the old camera looked and sounded better
I love your kitty!!
my fav vloggerrrrr
My favorite dance partnerrrrr....with Hugo Izzy and Harry hahahaha
YT algorithm was doing something right when they recommended your vids!
That subway to gym transition at 4:03 was clean! Awesome stuff man - I'm working on a what I spend in a week video right now so I'm getting some inspiration around RUclips haha

AI grammar is not so good.
1) your hair looks good you look more refreshing and energized. So cute 😊
2) sony camera is better than canon. Picture seems more brighter??? Idk there is a difference to me though
omg his vlogs are so relaxing to watch
May God bless everyone here. Have a good day.

Marcos been watching your videos since saturday
I'm sure what you are making at home is better than cafeteria food. Can you buy a monthly subway pass to save money? Interesting video, as always
That's something i gotta look into!
I WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU BOUGHT YOUR SHIRT????!!!!! It looks so good?
Nice vid enjoyed it so much. So amazing this city you have people who can spend 5000 a week and walk around laughing and loving life then you have people who if they spend 30 dollars they have to find something not to spend on(usually involves skipping a meal) in order to make the rent.

How is the incredible? It is way too overpriced and unequal a city.
so refreshing yet calming to your vlog despite you are also still on holiday. Have a great vacation in Taipei and Japan, Marcos. Loki would be thrilled to see you when you're back :)). That skateboard needs to be replaced soon :)
Thanks so much for your kind words
Stay safe and healthy babe and I’m proud of you❤️
Do you have commuter benefits at work? That gives you pre tax money to put toward subway which saves you whatever % of tax you usually pay. Makes that $2.75 a little more bearable
Your videos are very relaxing so chill and load back but interrsting. Just a hey and thanks for the content 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video man. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 wish you the best
That 4:03 transition tho deym brah!
All that not eating out might have done wonders for your skin. Your skin looks amazing.
Or maybe it's all the chlorine in pools lol but yes he's young, he's fit and he eats healthy. Genetics are a factor too
Maybe it's a contributing factor but i did recently get off s strong acne medication called Accutane that really helped clear my skin. Genetically I'm kinda more proned to breaking out so have to watch what i eat quite carefully!
All I can say is I admire you for everything you have and only wish I had your intelligence and good looks to have succeeded when I was young. God Bless.
Very interesting. Lucky you getting free food at office. Can you prorate rent and utilities into weekly expense or am I being too intrusive?
Lighting is better on Alpha, I think.
Nope rents 2900 a month so add about 800 to the total :)
great blog marcos!
Nice video. Enjoy your Asia trip!
I'm so jealous of your girl, she's so lucky! :(
Loki's too cute... Money well spent
Nice! Cute save on the cone for your cat!! Very Cool!
