I'm a flight attendant based in New York
City and I'm a flight attendant based in
LA I make $48,000 a year and I make
$48,000 a year as well it's been three
years I've been here four years
I'm 25 years old I have fifty four
thousand in investment and savings
eighteen thousand and savings alone six
thousand in a Roth IRA and thirty
thousand in mutual funds
I have zero in student loans on average
I fly 75 hours after taxes my take-home
pay is 3300 five hundred goes to a
monthly rent 90 on utilities and two
thousand towards savings $30 on monthly
subscriptions that leaves me around
seven hundred dollars to spend I have
about ten thousand eight hundred and
seven eight hundred and forty-one K and
ten thousand in a tradition of saving on
average I fire about 90 hours a month
after taxes I make about 3,800 1250 a
month goes to rent 129 on utilities 202
are saving and $21 on monthly
subscriptions 500 a month goes to my car
that leaves 1,700 to spend I make about
48 thousand a year my base pay is 1500 a
month yeah we have a base pay of around
1500 hours a month once we passed 55
hours of flight time we get paid on an
hourly rate the hourly rate depends on
your rank and how long you've been in
the company earn and additionally hourly
rate of twenty seven dollars an hour
next my per diem is about four dollars
an hour and I get paid as soon as we
close the doors from our base until we
get back to the base and we open doors
and that's just pay that we get for
meals or things that we do on our
layover
it doesn't sound a lot but once it
starts to add up you see a difference in
your check
finally and I get a flight supplement as
well for $300 flight supplement is
supplemental page so that's like since
we live in New York the cost of living
is higher so the company realizes that
and they give us extra paid so that we
can reach our monthly expenses here are
statements for me ever since I became a
flight attendant I noticed that our
bodies go through a lot of changes
especially like being up in the air so
many hours so I started investing in
like vitamins and skincare products
because it can take a toll on your body
and your skin I feel like my skin it
will change from like dry to combination
skin also like your immune system takes
a toll when I
we're sort of flying I got sick a lot I
definitely realized I had to take care
of myself more than the average person
skin diva 3477 derma rolling so it's
like a roller with like needles that you
would just throw on your face and it's
actually promotes collagen someone told
me about it I bought it and I've been
trying it I haven't done it for that
long so we'll see why seven $45 and then
250 so that's the yoga studio Planet
Fitness Great Neck 279 you have these
protein cookies it's like my way of
getting my sweets and protein at the
same time I don't feel as bad for eating
sweets Amazon 57 98 most likely protein
vitamins or creams I try to do all my
spending online and it works best for me
too because I can do shopping from
overseas and then come back home to all
those boxes on what's fun stop Hudson
news Jamaica 273 yeah either gum or
chapstick I fight spent a lot of money
on chapstick and I always lose them I
use them once or twice and then they're
gone now find them later in the
laundromat Massage Envy spa 42 71 most
of time they do my facial as well at
least every two weeks I have to do
facials or like you know take the dead
skin and everything to keep my skin
glowy
because we're putting makeup almost
every single day celebrate our turns
this was five hundred and fifty dollars
this was for micro needling it's like a
fish with the needles and what they do
is forcing your skin to regenerate it's
really good
this was for three sections it looks
like my most expensive purchase for the
month flash I do any video lashes this
is easier for me I do have to put
mascara on when I'm flying and you look
pretty even without makeup on it you
wake up in the morning I'm giving him
all the secrets Ultra 159 34 I love
makeup I have two different sets of
makeup the one that I use for flying is
more moisturizing so it keeps my skin
moisturize when I'm in there and then we
have Marshalls 57 97 I am always in
Marshalls because it's well but a lot of
muscle for work stockings in every
flight attendants closet you will find
hundreds of stockings because even one
you know ripping the stocking you have
to change it one line you have to change
it you're always spending money on
you're not gonna find a letter tonight
that doesn't have like a huge bag of
seconds and her house somewhere I
usually talk with three always I feel
like women have that way more but I sure
look a certain way yeah because we have
to wear makeup you have to tie the scarf
or certain way the shoes has to be like
you know sitting - so yeah when we have
more pressure didn't matter the women
have to wear two pairs of shoes their
high heels that they walk in the airport
with and under have their cabin shoes
which are like flats that they work on
the plane with because you don't wanna
be working with high heels unless you
want to as a guy for sure like they want
you to know that you look presentable
well-groomed
but that's something I've always done so
I never felt pressure but I definitely
would say that the women have it worse
we're actually not allowed to use makeup
maybe like creams and stuff with makeup
no we've had issues in the past with men
using makeup we're allowed to have a
beard as long as it's so well groomed
and trimmed and all other lines don't
allow that our company actually allows
men to have man buns I will not be
rocking on man bun anytime soon
staples 6:30 I bought a little booklet
do you like my briefings since I'm a
cabin chief I'll do like I have to do
like a briefing about like the plane
were on the amount of passengers so I
brought a notebook that I can put in my
suit BJ's Wholesale 1450 I was buying
muffins it's a guilty pleasure of mine
especially when you heat them up because
I'm never I'm not gonna spend groceries
overseas I'm not gonna carry all those
groceries around with me around the
world I would say I spend more on like
eating out on layover a lot of times I
like to explore and sit down a nice
restaurant it's the whole point of being
a flight attendant groceries not really
and when I'm home my parents cook that's
actually included in the rent northern
wine and liquor 3264 that was to buy
from my dad it must have been a family
event my family is really big on getting
together like on the weekends rally's
spa that's the hotel we staying in in
Paris
17:41 that was definitely dinner at the
hotel they have this really good salmon
dish that is just make those French
there they can really cook I really
don't want to be in my room so I'll
either go upstairs or
I'll go out I'm not a room service guy
the next one is real suave Jose from
Paris and is 31 $65 and it's room
service I love doing room service
because after I get to the hotel ET
bombs in staccato San Francisco this is
the app that I have that I order
groceries and a delivery for me my
closer in that day was 45 $85 I'm always
ordering close to the food delivery
because when I get home I'm so tired I
don't want to go to the grocery store
when I wake up in the morning I think to
drink green tea and lemon I add also
green smoothies as well to it the phone
for us tonight the restaurant it was
hard we'll hope they make the best pasta
ever that is $73 restaurant charge the
creative love comm Brooklyn 1295 is for
home studio yeah I'm making a home
studio because I I'm working on doing my
youtube channel iTunes that would be for
music that I buy because of my editing
thing I buy our music there to practice
putting music in the videos so those are
four music thank for transportation I
pay for taxis or trains into the city
overseas I'll pay for trains or taxis or
buses to go into another town or to go
into a club that's far away I definitely
don't like to stay in the hotels I like
to explore I think it's kind of
pointless to be a flight attendant and
not do any exploring Li double our
tickets to make 750 yeah most likely
they're visiting some friends or heading
to the airport or coming back from the
airport taxi - yes I am
27:31 so I usually walk to like the town
that's the next to the hotel I never
this time my my coworker didn't want to
walk because it was actually really cold
anyway so we got a taxi that I which was
like alright like five minutes to get
there and they charge you with almost
$30 just to get there and at 30 also
come back definitely not worth it rather
walk 27:31 and then on the way back was
twenty five forty three or five minutes
next is Amsterdam 1270 that was most
likely to get into the city using the
tram the wild water Express car $6 is
for the EZ Pass they're having a car we
hold up a park garbage $8 we're going
out partying t.j.maxx 1412 I think I
bought a horrible like water bottle like
a reusable one okay
hmm Los Angeles 123 69 I didn't have a
white tank top so I have to go to H&M I
get one and I think I'll put like skinny
jeans or something so that's what the
charges is for Victoria's Secret
woohoo I always shopping for to secure
about my perfume i buy everything there
and that was for 1643 I bought a body
mist what's your secret
[Music]
the company doesn't charge us to fly
with them the airport does so if I
wanted to take a trip to Paris I would
just have to pay the taxes which could
be anywhere from like 30 to 40 dollars
each way so a round trip might come up
to like 80 or 90 dollars and then
Norwegian Air Shuttle that was my ticket
when I was going to Tyler ticket yeah
you have to pay for it's really cheap
it's just tax I'll probably do that a
couple times a month
Airbnb 2 or 7 $15 Airbnb and Tyler

can ever go to the weather and then the
food Thai food is good it's addictive
tell you staples 64 23 I bought it for
my brother he paid me back I don't

Bayside I had a flat tire I remember

I did not go because the weather was bad
and I was with 78 to 98 dollars but I
didn't go terrace cinema was a movie

see myself retired in 30 years owning a
house and I think I see myself in
another country too young when I build a
house in Africa I want to build a school

to build my own as well I never thought
I would become a flight attendant to be
honest I always wanted to travel so I
was always a dream of mine and cheapest
way to travel as well as being a flight
attendant let's be honest I love it I
always only gonna do it for a year and
then come back and it's been three years
