What I Spend In A Week In Philadelphia As A 21 Year Old
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this video, I will show you exactly how much money I spent in the past week. Although Philadelphia is the sixth-largest city in the United States, I rarely hear people discussing the cost of living in the city.

Can you make a guilt trip video about tipping?
DeathByVlog is an awesome channel and they're based in Philly too.
Get a monthly pass for the subway, will likely save you. I have a monthly septa pass
Noted ! (Like N°1,6 something)
Hey Nate, I love your tips, but I was wondering has anyone ever told you about the gospel of Jesus Christ? Financial security is great for this world, but security for your soul is avaliable. Anyways, just wanted to share. God bless you.
Thanks for clarifying you’re not a drug dealer, Nate.
$900 in LA gets you closet or a tent on skid row
Damn
Lol! I know it's true!
Time to move
Hahaha if this isn’t so accurate 😆
That goes a long way in PA
"And because I want to tap into the RUclips algorithm" 😂 legend
Gotta get back on that grind to hit a milli
😂😂😂
I'm a 37 year old mother of 2 teenage boys and although we live in India and our lifestyles and culture differ immensely, I'm sure they could get inspired by a young guy like you who is frugal and smart with finances. I'm glad you're making such videos. Pls continue the good work. Thank you.
I just like that you're in Philadelphia.
W0W . . It's really nice to see someone from your age group with his act together . . I wish at 21 I had , had more organization and direction in my life . . Your parents should be really proud of you.
Yes well it's easier to get your life in order at 21 then it was 10-15 years ago.
@@thewewguy8t88 why is it?
@@KathrynPedrana We have access to stuff like this now. I feel that 10-15 years ago if your parents didn't have their shit together you couldn't just look up half the things you need to do on RUclips lol.
You motived me to become more minimalist, I saved so much and started investing more
So happy to hear it
In what do you invest ?
@@mahamadoudiabate1384 stocks & shares, and real estate
@@11Alisher Thanks, I'm a new subbie to your chanel, following you from France ^^ I'll share the chanel. I have a lot to learn from you and your videos. I find them interesting.
Thanks for breaking this down Nate. You are changing the way people look at money which is going to help a lot. I thought your expenses were very reasonable!
Thanks Cody!
Nice to get the perspective from Philadelphia, I have managed myself to reduce quite considerably my expenses following your advice on minimalism, cooking at home & not going too crazy with the drinks on party nights (those are a scam!!). Since I started tracking my expenses on Sept, I've been able to pinpoint most expenses and reduce quite a lot more without affecting my daily life at all, actually it's more enjoyable to say the least. I recommend everyone to tracking their expenses as well, it's a life changer.
Tracking expenses is the key to financial freedom!
GoldBlockCareer that's a great point. The thing I struggle with the most is finding a tracking app that also has a good budgeting app do you have any good recommendations?
So much respect for a 21 year old dude with tons of money conscience 👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️
Way to go Nate 👏👏
Thank you!!!!
Panda55 C I know right? If I could write a letter to me back when I was 18 I would be doing something very similar to what Nate is doing
Ridge Mallery You are sooo right! Can’t believe a guy this young but very smart in every aspect!! 👏👏🙏🙏😍😍
His parents must be sooo proud of him!! 👍👍🙌🙌💚💚
I would say the same but for me my life was complicated as nothing can really change the way I lived my life when I was 18. I was just too much of a different person living in a world I did not fully understand. Plus events happened which even with knowledge of the future there is nothing I could have done to prevent them. And the thing is I would not prevent them not would I tell myself to live differently as this may sound chiciche but if I did not go through the experiences I went though growing up in my 20s I would not be where I am today.
I’m falling in love with how smart and cheap he is.
Bro you pay nothing for that nice ass apartment, that's pennies, glad to hear that!
It really is nice!
Wh4tEverComesT0Mind that is pretty cheap for where I'm at here up in Montana.
Wh4tEverComesT0Mind this is nice?? Sheesh y’all big city people have different standards of nice 😂😂
You know for me 900$ for an apartment even with everything included is really expensive no mater the location like it is for me but this coming from someone who currently makes 650$ every 2 weeks.
WHERE DID YOU FIND A CENTER CITY APARTMENT AT THAT RENT? That's crazy! I lived in Philly for 5 years and never paid a rent that low.
Seriously! & includes utilities?! That's actually wild. I usually don't see anything below $1500
Yeah, I've lived in Philly for 4 years and I've never found anything under 1k for a 1-bedroom apartment lol
SERIOUSLY!!!! This was in 2019.. but STILL!!
I’m literally lost when I think of under 1k downtown
I’m payin 1095 in university city how did u find that
Frustration has been the order of the day for me, I keep trying my best every morning to make good money for myself and save up for the future and get a better life for myself. But it seems really impossible for me at all point, are some destined to be rich an others to be poor? I just feel like taking my life.
Please don't take your life, each time I recall the sudden death of my last child because of depression during the pandemic it hurts me so much that I wasn't there to help at that time. Since lack of money is the main problem of you feeling sad and wanting to take your life, I will introduce you to someone experienced in the financial market who is very good at his job.
I have made over $45k through him and I started with just $5k.
Pls does he still accept new clients? How can I get in touch to him. i have suffered a lot I desperately need another source of income.
Stephenselton663@gmaiLcom
Just send him an email and ask him to guide you on how the market works. He is good.
I'm sure graham is annoyed there's nothing to get angry to here!
oh graham would be so f'in annoyed. she needs to mind his own f'in business
Who is graham?
@@OmarDelawar Graham Stephan
VANGUARD I watched some videos and a couple of them are good but his are pretty extra imo, it feels like he tries to brag and be funny. Nate has a dry sense of humor and just talks matter of factly imo
Nate, you are a remarkable young man. I am mighty impressed with how grounded you are. Wish you all the best.
I cannot believe that you live in my hometown. That is friggin' awesome dude. I definitely need to get more Philly living pointers from you because I am doing this all wrong. Lol
Philly is what you make of it!
@@NateOBrien Very true! I just gotta take advantage of these opportunities out here. Keep up the good work, bro!
Agreed! We need more Philadelphians talking about their spending! New subscriber but longtime follower, and I LOVE PHILLY (and budgeting).
Regarding Whole Foods - if you’re actually buying ‘whole food’, it’s definitely worth it. Pay the farmers now so you don’t have to pay the pharmacies later.
except you could do that in almost any other supermarket for a fraction of whole foods cost. My local Trader Joe's and stop and shop source at least a portion of their produce from local farmers and it's by far cheaper than any at Whole Foods
I like that...
More like "whole wallet" F...that! I'd rather pay myself...not farmers and not pharmacies!
Why not just learn to try to grown your own whole food?
@@michellemarie1197 I can’t fit a cow in my backyard, maybe a lamb 😉
Reading Terminal is the best...especially that doughnut spot. If you know you know lol
Oh yes.. I go there too often
Stas Serfes i've never been there however I have been to a bunch of farmers markets up here in Montana is that the same?
I just posted a question asking Nate about that donut shop! I’m a donut-holic and someone was telling me how that’s the spot for yummy donuts. If I take a trip to philly, will people just know where I mean if I ask about it?
Beiler's donuts. I’ve gone on trips from NY just to get them.
Abdias Sanchez yup...they’re that good
Here in Dublin rent for a similar apartment in a good location would be about 2500! Great deal you got there Nate.
I've heard it's quite pricey in Dublin!
Fuck
Nate O'Brien it’s more expensive than London now
Nate, I admire your commitment to helping so many to live an authentic life in the everyday things. As someone so much older than you I wish to congratulate you. I hail from far away Sydney, Australia, where we are living with the worst bushfires on record ... with the help of firefighters from US, NZ & Canada. Have a Happy Christmas. You said you like to travel ... when do you get the time?
I second this Robert. Also from Aus here.
The earnest way you explained your philosophy on fine dining was incredibly adorable. Keep on, kid, and good for you for knowing how to be responsible with your money and spending!
I wonder what Graham’s gonna say! So ready to see his reaction to this 🙏🏼
It’s a guise, he actually spends it all on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
3:58 and Waffles too😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for making finances so simple to understand for everyone!
I want to help people to live their dreams by controling their habits with my yt videos. Thank you for the incredible inspiration!
I like that this guy starts every video with 'so' lol. My new favorite financial guru.
Before I moved into my own studio, I brought a portable washer for $78 on Amazon. So far, it has been convenient to do laundry in my own place.
As for Trader’s Joe, I love it. The food selection is usually healthy and affordable
You can take the subway to Aldi on 45th & Market St, if you really want Aldi...
Compared to Boston, this guy basically doesn't pay rent.
Purpose of this video: “to capture the RUclips Algorithm “
I smashed the like button for ya. Hope it helps Nate. Glad you finally put oil on your eggs on the previous video 😏
You can call me Chef Nate
Nate O'Brien an entrepreneur, youtuber, minimalist, and now chef? Impressive 😂
I can’t believe you’re only 21
The diet of egggo waffles is aging him
Andrew Caan ikr he looks older
No way...
It's the clothes
Too old face aaah...
Cause he lives so tight... Not easy going
Man... I spend almost $2,000 a month on rent alone. Then again... I live in Washington state. But your rent is amazing! Nice place too
Seattle area is pricey!!!
Hey Nate! I am 21 years old lad from Sweden. I started watching your videos for a few months ago. I just want to say that I really like your channel. This is actually the first time I subscribe to any youtube channel. I appreciate your work and have followed some of your tips, everything from economical advices, minimalism thinking and I have read 3 (as yet) of your book tips from previous vidoes. Keep up the good work!
I'm 21 yo and live in Belgium, so the city where I live is pretty expensive, but I don't spend a lot of money. Your videos always help me a lot. Thank you!
We agreed on a skicare routine video 🙁
Hahaha maybe he'll upload that next
You're changing my perspective on my budget bro
So happy to hear it!
CHARLES - Finance for College Students me too and it's tough budget and it's not a simple thing to do that is why I continue to do videos on it so I can learn from myself😂😂😂
Hello. How are you? I am from Philadelphia and I have a RUclips channel. I actually have more than one channel. I didn't know you are in Philadelphia. Center City is awesome and good point about transportation. I do love center City. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for content. Take care.
This is a weird ass comment lol
Same I live in philly and I just started my channel! Center City is great especially in the winter.
Happy Christmas Nate and great job educating us all this year.
Thanks Bettie
I like the that you are hyper aware of where your money is going!!! Too many people are clueless and wonder why they’re broke. Also glad you enjoy going out and being social. Happy Christmas 🎄
I just did a similar video showing my weekly spending in Orange County! It’s interesting to see how much the area that you live can affect how much you spend on a weekly basis.
I feel like I’m in an either accounting or financial class... 22 years old girl watching this at night because she’s been spending a lot of money on unnecessary things. I subscribed and will try to watch more of your videos to learn more things. Love this kind of video! Thank you~
I've been living in Philly for the past 4 years. Center City is very expensive! The best deal I have ever had is my current apartment in West Philly for $950/month. Only water is included. I don't know how you found a place for less than 1k AND includes utilities. That's INSANE!
Just a comment for the algorithm and to wish you all happy christmas days!
Made me smile. Thank you 🙏🏼
Nate O'Brien Thank you for the good work, greetings From Germany!❄️
Thanks! Drinking a cup of java as I watch :) Happy holidays to you and to everyone out there!
Enjoy the rest of 2019!
your channel is about minimalism and not just finance, its a style of life, greatings from brazil
YAY MORE NATE
Thanks for watching
@@NateOBrien you are definitely different from the pack, especially for your age, especially the expensive dinners and drinking part. You are smart man.
I’m from Philly and I’ve always been on the search for a Philly RUclipsr! You just got a new subscriber 🤗
Jeez. In the US you guys spend more money per week than I spend in a month here in Spain.
it's that insurance 😬
rent is soooooooooooo cheap in spain it's crazy
Your rent is actually much cheaper than a rent that my family has to pay. I guess it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
It's cloudy quite often :)
Where I live, our rent is low here in Cali, for 3 bedrooms, 1.5 restrooms, for like $215 a month? Around there (for apartment)
Junior Avila you must be talking Cali Columbia
No not in Columbia, here in the U.S, SoCal
If Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner had a son...
Kato Tasso I guess
Taylor Jr.
Great video Nate! Apart from Graham Stephan you’re one of the only guys I’ve seen put out this video ✨
I LOVE Philly, its a beautiful city, rich in history! Go Eagles! You've inspired me to get my laptop, pack up my things and move to Philly just for Football season!
I moved here the year the Eagles won the Superbowl. It was THEE BEST time the entire football season up to the parade. I am not even a big sports fan but the ENERGY of this city was AMAZING!!!
Hey I live in Philly too
I know you from somewhere
Nice
Same fam
Love the Reading Terminal. I'm at $1320 a month in West Chester (just outside of Philly)
Reading Terminal Market!! I was visting Philly/NJ and went there a couple months ago. Have you tried Beiler's Doughnuts? Best doughnuts I've ever had and you can get 2 plus a coffee for $3.75 which ain't too shabby :)
Oh yes... many many times
I might go there right now...
@@NateOBrien Do it! ahaha I think the worst part of my trip was going back Sunday afternoon with plans to buy a 6 pack and only to find out they were closed... next time though
Ok, so that must be the donut shop I’ve been harassing all of Nate’s followers about throughout this comment section!
I agree with the 'fancy food' one...It is nice every so often to go to a nice restaurant like that. However, with so many free cooking videos on RUclips learning how to cook delicious food that tastes similar to what you would get in a fancy restaurant is more accessible than ever. It just takes time and practice!
Thanks Nate. We have similar views on money and buying habits, so it was good to know how I would fair in a city like Philadelphia.
Hi, I'm a Philadelphian RUclipsr who exists
Give u a lot of credit, you are very informative and entertaining. From one penn stater to another you definitely seem like someone I’d love to have lunch or a beer with and bs about things. You’re definitely intelligent as well!
i’m from philadelphia and somehow just found your channel - and it’s great!
A Very Happy Christmas To You !
I just wanted to very sincerely thank you for all of your hard work putting together this presentation.
I do not think people realise or can ever imagine the huge amount of effort you have put in.
I very sincerely wish you and all your family a fantastic Holiday Season.
May the New Year 2020 truly bring you all the well deserved success you have worked so very hard towards.
Just keep on being AWESOME !
Also a 21-year-old living in Philly! (been here for the past 3 years) Sprouts on Broad or Acme on South st (across from Whole Foods actually) are great grocery options. Also if you take the MFL to 46th st, there's an Aldi right off the stop.
Hearing your rent in Center City is insane - either you found a gem or I completely suck at searching. I live out in West (near Penn) and my 1 br apt is $500/$250 split. Great vids btw! Appreciate them. go birds
Loved this video! You are conscious of your spending but still live life. I love how practical you are 😊
I would love it if you did a 2022 update ! I appreciate this content 😁
I'm impressed by your rent. Your place looks nice. It's two bedroom? I have a one bedroom in downtown Baltimore, and it's $1470, including utilities. That's pretty consistent with the prices in other nearby high rise buildings around here.
Thanks so much for the awesome video Nate 🔥 This will definitely help me grow my business and improve my mindset & finances!! Keep it up! 💯💯🙌
Just discovering your vids so I know this is an old one but I had to say - I'm from Philly originally and I lived at the diners (on a budget) when I was your age. You have to check out Little Pete's, Melrose Diner, and Silk City. YUM. They kept me alive. Dump the chains. These local gems are the best. Enjoy!
I'm AncientAmigo, I'm going to spread the word about this RUclips channel!
You’re an incredible young person. Smart, focused, and interested in personal finance. Sorry, I just discovered your channel, and haven’t watched all of your videos. Just wondering ....are you a student? Or did you go to school learning finance?
Financial minimalism is the new wave. Don’t spend your money on unnecessary items.
Alex Zim Finance yess
Paws Not Claws 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
*Yes, Philly has a really good public transportation system.* 👍
Lies
It is strange that there aren’t more RUclips channels based in Philly. It feels like the best of all worlds here, in terms of low(ish) cost of living compared to everything you get to experience.
Love the channel, keep up the good work. Maybe come film an episode here in Fishtown!
6th largest city in the country!
They're are, they just don't make their location very apparent.
I do everything on mondays too 🙌🏻 I clean ,cook and laundry
Good for you Nate! Glad to see your doing well.
Like your frequent “I don’t know” added comment tags. Makes you sound humble. Nice.
Finally a video in philly so I can accurately judge myself for overspending.
As a student in philly, i really enjoyed this vid!! Keep it up
Deeply appreciate that you made this!
I like that Nate actually included monthly expenses unlike many of the other youtubers
It made more sense!
Happy New Year, Nate. 🎉
Wishing you a successful year ahead!! 🎊
Thank you for the video Nate. Even though I live in Europe, your videos are inspiring.
Merry Christmas man. I've learned a lot from you this year
I must say, thanks to your videos I have gained the courage to start my own RUclips channel as a stream of income! Much prosperity and success to you Nate! xo
Hey Nate,thank you for the candid outlay of what you spend in philly a month.im surprised rent isnt well above a grand a month. Makes me want to live there. Keep thne education coming nate. im an old fart compared to you,but you teach us a lot we should use in our own fincial lives.
Great stuff, Nate!! Merry, Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄⛄🕯
940$ for CENTER CITY??? that's a steal! thank you for the vid, looking into moving to Philly, very helpful!
Okay, I saw your shoes in the "Living on $30 a week" video. I now know how you manage to pull this off. :P
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video from you.
Figured it was time
Reasonable expenses for sure. Keep it up man! Lifestyle inflation is the number one wealth killer.
Living below ones means insures stability
Chipotle is freakin lit. I am afraid to see what I spend in a week there...
Add that Guac on there too
@@NateOBrien Woah there big spender. There goes the weekly budget.
These are similar to me. But I have 1 phone bill and hotspot my phone, have a car and pet insurance. I only drive my car when I go camping so like 2 weekends a month I'll take my van and dog and we'll go out bush. I almost never eat out. I cycle everywhere. I checked my budget app, this whole year I spent 200 bucks on transport! Get a bike. Will save ya thousands people. I almost never drink alcohol too. Huge savings. Woohoo. Happy holidays everyone.
since you like travelling, then you really should consider visiting Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan.
I almost did!! I was at the Dead Sea in January, I saw Jordan from afar
Oh you from Philly, what's up bro!
Yo
🗣
This is the best “what I spend in week” video that I’ve seen. Great work!
Qcknd is a Philly based creator. I love her channel
This is cool to hear!
$948 per month is quite good!
Very happy for you man! 💯👏🏻
Thanks Arie
a month? he said per week... or did I miss the whole video..?
No one:
Nate: I don’t drink, but i got you!!!
I'm a fan from Bangkok, Thailand. Happy New Year!
