what's good you guys welcome back to my youtube channel my name is crystal and i am so excited
because for today's video i will be taking you guys through a what i spend in a week
living in san diego california as a 23 year old who works in tech
my current occupation or my current title is an ic associate and i'm in a rotation program right now
but i do share an apartment with my boyfriend and a roommate we do live in a two bed two
bath and i'll take you guys through what my fixed costs are at the end of this video but
i wanted to make this video because i find these to be super interesting i love learning how people
spend their money their spending habits and you know what it costs to buy certain things
in the city that they're living in so you know i wanted to do that because i feel like it's fun
and it could be interesting or informative for anyone who wants to move to san diego
or who is thinking about moving on their own and you know obviously this goes without saying
not every week is the same some weeks i spend more some weeks i spend less i try to be very
frugal but i do like to enjoy my money as well so if you want to learn more about you know my
payday routine how i budget i have a video linked up here so we don't have to spend time this video
talking about it i hope you guys enjoy the video and we'll get started happy sunday we are here at
the padres game padres for the dodgers game four and four we came at the last inning and spent
hey we're here for the buy like 30 something dollars to be here yeah exactly exactly
what's good you guys so today's monday and i really didn't do too much today i actually had
to wake up at 5 30 a.m but after work i stayed home all day today and i ate meals that bought
like a few weeks ago so technically counting it as part of like this week's what i've spent but
i am buying a ticket to tulum right now because my friends and i are going in october um and they
already bought their tickets so i was like i should probably buy that before the prices
go up actually flying out of tijuana because tj is only like 20 minutes away from us and
it's cheaper just to fly out of tijuana from mexico to mexico so i spent today 206
before or my flight to tulum in october so anyone has any recommendations please let me know
what's good you guys happy tuesday and i know yesterday i said i don't normally buy plane
tickets but today we bought another one to hawaii and so that came out to 171.56 i also
ate one of our simply g meals today and it comes out to four dollars a meal so i'll just say i
paid four dollars for my lunch today and then the last thing i did today is i went to costera
uh joanna and i it's actually our month anniversary so we've been together for
four months four months four years and three months so we decided to celebrate because his
mom actually bought us a gift card to a really awesome restaurant here in san diego at costera
and we haven't used it yet so we had some free time today and so we went out and got
some really delicious food but here's a total and i'll see you guys tomorrow
what is up you guys happy wednesday i did spend money today lynn was in the state area so he got
me blenders i got the peanut butter builder he hasn't charged me yet but i think it's probably
around like six or seven dollars and then at five i am going to my last appointment with my girl mel
you guys have heard me talk about her before i love her so much and i'm just getting a fill for
a hybrid i get fills every two weeks or so and it normally comes around it comes to 65 dollars
so i want to budget like 65.70 yeah i think that's everything that i'm gonna spend today
also shout out to our friend james he brought us adobo that he made and that [ __ ] was chef's kiss
it was so good and i ate that for lunch but for dinner i think i still have some leftover
frozen from trader joe's that i bought a few weeks ago so i'm just gonna eat that for dinner
hi friends happy thursday you would never guess what i did today all i did today was work but
i did go to 7-eleven because i was really craving chips and so we ended up getting ben
and jerry's ice cream and salt and vinegar chips i think actually some vinegar is for the most
elite taste buds so if you don't like it you may want to think about widening your taste
palette thank you we went to 7-eleven and right now we're getting ready because we are going out
to celebrate our friends josh's birthday so we won't be here this weekend um but we are
getting korean bbq at olay in convoy if you've never been to convoy in san diego 20 out of 10
would recommend to check it out they have some of the best asian food and i think we're going
to hit up pacific beach afterwards to go to a bar we'll see if i spend anything if i go out tonight
and happy friday and just like that we are at the end of the week but we are leaving to the
bay tonight to basically be in the bay area for a day we're actually going to a wedding tomorrow so
we leave tonight at nine so joining right now is dropping off harlow at the doggy hotel so we have
to pay for that when we come back and julian and i normally split the cost of taking harlow to the
dog hotel so i want to say it's going to probably come around like 70 each or basically two nights
did i pay for anything else i don't think i i oh actually i did i got lexy nails hold on if
you guys don't know i'm a big press-on girl press on new girl i love it i've used luxy static nails
glamnetic nails kiss obviously in finger suit i pretty much like all of them besides finger
suit they already have like the sticky adhesive on the nail so you just peel off like the protective
layer and you place it and i don't necessarily like the stick on option i prefer like nail glue
because it sticks on better like i said i did buy press-on nails from lexi and that came out to
57.93 i did get a discount code so those minus six dollars shipping was free so it comes to around
like like 14 per nail set so i did buy that today these are the ones that i got and they're so cute
we are gonna go ahead to the airport pretty soon we're probably gonna have to pay for an uber and
then i'll probably get food tonight unless i can hold it until we land in oakland yeah
so i think i'm probably going to spend money on food and then we're going to list everything here
so we have reached the end of this video and now is the time from the moment of truth
um which i'm nervous for but at the same time i'm like this money's already spent it's gone let's
not hang our heads over it it what it is at least that's what i'm telling myself so for sunday we
went to the padres game i got that michelada which i don't know if you guys noticed but it was green
and when i paid for it i thought like it was like a variation like plus five dollars if you wanted
like this cucumber version of it but that's all they had and i was like whatever i'll drink it it
was the pledges game and then we went to the story house after where i got a lot of food the total
homework sunday came out to 84.83 monday is when i bought the tulum tickets and that was the only
thing i bought for the day that was 206 tuesday we bought our ticket to maui i had my simply g
meal or my meal prep that we get every month and then we went to costera that came out to 202.56
on wednesday i just got a smoothie in my lash fill that was 82 thursday we spent pretty much all our
money on food for my friend's birthday went to korean barbecue and then we went to pacific beach
afterwards i ended up getting dave's hot chicken because i had the drug cheese but that came out to
67. and 10 cents friday we took harlow to the dog hotel because we were leaving to the bay
area to go to a wedding and then i also got nails that day our lift and taco bell that was 147.20
and then on saturday was the day of the wedding i didn't get any clips of the wedding but i did
get clips of what i spent my money on which was just jamba juice and that was 10.38 for
the total cost of everything without the flights because like i mentioned it's not normal for me
to buy plane tickets all the time so without the flights the total cost is and fifty one
422.51 which is pretty good for my weekly spending and i would say normally or roughly what i would
spend every week but with the flights the total cost is eight hundred dollars and seven cents
which is kind of crazy to me but it is what it is i will say i do have the southwest credit card so
that kind of helps me a lot because i do rack up points and because for my hawaii flight i actually
got it at a cheaper price because i had flight credit which is something that they offer so i
would definitely recommend the southwest credit card this isn't sponsored i'm just letting you
guys know that i do have a travel credit card with southwest it's the rapper's reward card and
if you're interested i'll leave a link below if you want to learn more about the different travel
cards that southwest has so yeah that's all my variable costs for this week now for the cost of
living in san diego we do live in a two-bedroom two-bathroom apartment me and julian share one
room and then we have our roommate rory who's in the other bedroom and we live in a 1014 square
foot apartment and for my portion of the rent i pay 314.20 and then for water trash gas electric
wi-fi um i took the average of three months and so for water and trash i paid ten dollars
on average gas and electric eleven dollars and fifty cents on average wi-fi six dollars
and eleven cents per week on average so it's not too bad at all so my total fixed cost is 341.81
now my grand total on the other hand for the entire week drumroll please total cost is 1141.88
that is what i spent this past week which is kind of ridiculous but honestly
for me i do budget as i mentioned if you guys are interested in learning how i
manage my money i do have a link to that video and i do want to reiterate that this is just a
small snapshot of my life not every week is like this some days i spend more some days i spend less
it just varies but i hope you guys find this video interesting if you have any questions
let me know in the comments below if you guys are curious or anything but yeah please don't forget
