What up it's Damon
it's Jo
and it's Damon and Jo
alright, here's the deal
Okay, I'm here in Paris, Jo's in New York
We're about to see how far $20 (twenty dollars!) can get you in Paris, France, and New York, New York
How much can I do for 20 euros in Paris?
How much can Jo do for 20 dollars in New York?
These are two of the most expensive cities in the world
I got the advantage cause 20 euros is a little bit more than 20 dollars
So if we can make it in these cities with 20 dollars a day,
it's clearly showing you that it's not impossible.
Do I even have 20 euros?
Paris on 5 euros a day!!
(sarcastically) Yeah right.
Voilà, 20 euros. Okay, we're good
Oh I want to show you this
I didn't know how to open this door for three freaking days
We have a bowl right here filled with doorknobs
(laughs)
I'm having too much fun already in this video
Zero euros.
[Jo] We walk outside to a lovely pile of garbage
(laughs) Oh my god. Like, they took out they TRASH this morning
I have the luxury of living next to Central Park so I'm gonna walk through the park and its free ninety-nine!!
They know what's good. They getting themselves out of here
Hello
Good, how are you?
Same to you!
Stay warm.
Aw, you made my whole day.
Sirens, magical moments, talking to strangers...I am definitely in New York, y'all
It's a beautiful neighborhood, I know
Bonjour
Where are you gonna get a Vietnamese sandwich for 3.50? 3 euros 50 cents
in Belleville
and I've eaten there many times. That lady's always working and she's always so nice
and that's why I keep coming back.
Cilantro
Hi, how are you? Can I do a hot coffee?
Let me do one of these. How much is it??
2.50. Okay I can do that
Coffee in a bag.
It's just chaos no matter where you look
[Speaker] Ladies and gentlemen, as you exit, please be careful of the gap between the platform and the train
Hi!
Alright, Brooklyn Bridge Time
Brooklyn Bridge. City hall
I was on the Upper East Side, I got a coffee and a little pastry for 2 dollars.
It doesn't look bad!
That shit hasn't seen an oven since it was in the factory
Stranger: you can say hello to him, he doesn't bite
Hi!

Paige: Where are we going? Jo: We're going underneath.
Paige: I think Jo is trying to kill me.
Jo: That's my plan! Paige: Alright. I've got some messages.
Jo: Look at the red light. Like... (laughs menacingly)
Paige: Ok. Across the street (gives directions).
Jo: Pagie is just saving THE DAY!
Jo: Rushing! Don't slip!
NO!!
No ho ho ho.
(gasps and squeals in excitement)
Okay. Cool.
That moment. (laughs in relief)
*Paige uses the Force*
(loud screeching from train wheels)
Wow!
Soothing sounds!
OH YEAH
The New York City subway prides it's self on being 24 hours (open all hours of the day).
Which is really cool! However..
I've waited 55 minutes for a train at 3 am once.
Then I also fell asleep on the train and ended up in the Bronx. (badum tish)
First off, the unlimited- monthy metro card here in Paris
only costs... I think 70 Euros.
In New York, I think it's $1.31! (€1.05)
OH YEAH
And then my camera falls in the Seine.
Y'all. I've been here 8 THOUSAND HUNDRED times
and I STILL don't get tired of this city!
Paris. I love you.
But you ain't shit!
No. I'm just kidding. I actually DO love you.
Vanessa's Dumplings, cheapest dumplings in all of Manhattan.
Can I do, um, regular dumplings and a ... an egg pancake?
The tax got me, man.
Thank you!
*gasp* Sesame pancake, you got some dumplingsss
Ok, so this was a euro thirty-five (€1.35). Typically, it's €1.10
but I'm over here in the boujee part, next to the Eiffel Tower. Look.
Favorite spot in Paris! Completely free.
On the street, and just as stanky as you thought.
Wow. It's beauty, it's grace, it's Miss United States.
Don't do that.
I'm about to sell the one book I have in my backpack just to make some money.
Alright, I can get a book.
Strand Bookstore, you know what it is.
"The No-Cry Nap Solution". I need this at my age.
*chokes*
I've wanted a cookbook for a minute, and this one's a dollar.
Hoo hee, $1.09.
$1.09! The tax gets me every time, man.
I'm sorry
*giggles*
I'm really acting like I've never been here before.
Wow.
I know the Eiffel Tower's really really really cliché
but you can go to the second floor for, I think, €4.
Hi tampon
Byeee
Alright byeee
See you at homeee
Bye okay I'm gonna text you-
Shelter water
-if I need to be Ubered by you. Alright bye!
I am left with a grand total of $4.50

7 euro 95 cents
And it's vegan, and we all know how hard that is to come by in Paris.
Okay!

Where can I find the €3 wines?
Like if you go to the bathroom, the list for the €3 wines is actually on the wall.
*wheezes*
Three euros and eighty cents, four euros fifty cents
*guffaw*
I got MONEY.
cuz I only spent $20!
Here's how much I spent today.
CHA CHING
I gotta say, I'm feelin' a lil hungry and
I'm feeling a little broke, buuut
the option is there for you to spend $20 a day in New York
and then you can live in a tiny ass room like this!
Honestly, it wasn't that far off!
You could actually live a perfect day in Paris
doing plenty of, kind of, unnecessary things for about €20.
Pero like, ion know. You tell me in the comments below.
was it worth it? (Lemme work it)
Did the value add up in New York like it did in Paris?
Aaand
That's it. I'm gonna go make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because that's all I can afford.
It's now past midnight, and I'm kind of, li-
