These American Expats Spend $2,100 A Month Living In Spain
I've been living in Europe for the last 2 months. Came from Manhattan. I'm spending way less money, i'm eating better food, i'm meeting better and more interesting people, and I'm just overall happier.
Former Nyer here in Spain. Yes I do miss it at times but love my overall quality of life more.
That's called getting out of the hyper capitalist Matrix
That's because you left Manhattan. Getting out of New York will definitely do that for you.
@@calebdonerno getting out of America, will.
When I was diagnosed with depression back in 2015, I remember the first words out of my psychiatrist was "you need to move out of Manhattan". And that did it.
This is crazy to me. Spanish immigrant living in the US, watching a video about Americans living in Logroño, my dad’s hometown where I used to spend my summers and visit my grandma. Not of enough people visit Logroño, doesn’t get much better than pinxtos en la Calle Laurel!
A friend from UK just moved to Logroño. They clearly see something there
Can you stop interviewing content creators and start interviewing normal average people
These are normal people, dude started with $700 teaching English
Agreed, content creators are not the average American worker/ workers in America
they WERE NORMAL PEOPLE who used their brains to make money online.
Can't interview "normal people" because they havent "CNBC made it!®
How about you stop watching this clownshows channels that are essentially just propaganda and go watch something from a more reputable source?
Exactly. They are self-employed. There busines niche is simply different than others.
When they said they are paying $915 for rent, I thought, whats the big deal? Probably a one bedroom studio, then they said three bedrooms, I died inside.
Died is an understatement 😢😂
Most people in Spain make that in one month. That is a very unrealistic rent for people here. These people love with america salaries and spanish rent. Thankfully they are not in a gentrified area so they are not contributing to making rent impossible for locals
@@Nazioarteko89It is not bad if you have a good salary (1800/2000 eur) or if they both are workin wich seems to be the case, of course they probably earned much more back in the US
@@Nazioarteko89 true but if they both work it is affordable.
They said they make 1-4kUSD/month. It's more like Eastern European salary (I live in Moldova and I know). I'd say their income is not an American income, at least not a middle class American income (most of my friends in US make over 10k/month and they are upper middle class at best). Rent is still a big chunk of their salaries, buy still more affordable than in most US cities.
I went to Spain last year for the first time ever! And I can totally see myself living there! It's one of the most perfect places in the world!!!
is perfect for tourists and retirees, not for the average Joe, that has to work 40h/w for 30k/year. Wages here are appalling, even the retirees' pensions are higher in average...
@@ImNotADeeJay Yes I did look at the job market while I was there and found nothing but working in the service industry! I guess retiring in Spain would work👍
I like how they studied Spanish to embrace the culture and not think they’d be able to get by on just English.
But then they took the L by the fact they paid $3400 EACH do study Spanish in Spain. They could have did an online Spanish class at a random US community college and paid $300 each for four months of studying and used day-to-day activities to practice conversation skills
@@rbr0188There is NO such thing as "taking an L' (in language learning). They did what was in the plan for themselves.
Online isn't the answer to everything. Especially with language learning. Besides, US Colleges teach more of Mexican Spanish. Not Castillian Spanish. Which is the dialect they need to know.
@@LostintheUS-2030 Its been scientifically proven that the best way to learn and retain a language is through continual conversation and immersion. So yes, paying $6800 to sit in a classroom and study materials that you could get online for free in a country where you have unlimited resources to practice conversation for free is the textbook definition of taking an L....especially, when your income is variable from month to month and you are raising a kid.
Also most Spanish courses in the US teach proper (Castilian) Spanish and not Mexican Spanish so you are also incorrect on that point. You probably work at the college that ripped these people off.
@@LostintheUS-2030 don't bother this dude is unhinged
@@rbr0188 omg did Spanish lessons strike a nerve?!?!
I follow them on TikTok since a while back :) they are super friendly and its just great that they made the leap to Spain and are enjoying it so much. I love that they chose a not so well know region and they are fully integrating, learning the language and customs. Welcome and thank you so much!
what is their Tik Tok name?
Just follow your dreams. Most people think of problems in the future instead of the life improvements. We moved to another country with our first born when she was 8 months old. Then again to another state further south with our second child. Now we are expecting number 3 and we are in a different state again. We are not Influencer or content creator.
Be curious and optimistic and life will find a way...
As a Spaniard, living in Madrid, I'm sooooo impressed with these type of Ambassadors. They are promoting Spain much better than a lot of Spanish people living here :)
So glad to hear Spain "changed" your lives.
They still haven't experienced the bad aspects... haven't been in touch with bureaucracy and never enter a public hospital or school.
@@ElefanteBlanca Well if health outcomes and life expectancy are to be considered and the fact that you dont have to worry about medical bankruptcy in Spain it still seems better in Spain on this issue than in the US. At least for the bottom 90% of society for sure. Maaaaaaaybe for the top 10% it is better in the USA but I think its debatable.
i hate when they don't speak about the most important thing which is how did you get the papers to reside in Spain ?! As an American you can only stay in Spain for 3 Months and only for tourism .
He mentioned that they were teachers and also studied ,so they most likely at first came on a student visa. There are various visas one can apply...Student, NLV, DNV and Golden(which is being phased out soon). It can be difficult but not impossible.
Spain also has a digital nomad visa option now
He was a language assistant. Those programs provide student visas.
Well, I don't know this specific case, but I can tell you most Americans living in Europe or Latam are illegals.
@@christinecleavest9099 and then if you have a kid born there they probably can't kick you out lol
You two are the best possible ambassadors Logroño can have. So glad you guys chose our city for your personal project. I wish you the very best because you deserve it. Gracias❤
I really enjoy videos like this where people pursue passions and go after quality of life rather than promoting hustle culture as if money is only thing that matters.
🥰yes !
That’s so awesome to know that they got pregnant 6 months after arriving in Spain ❤.
She*
Spain is wonderful. I'm hoping to make the move there myself this year. It's not perfect and has it's problems, but after spending about a total of a year there (not consecutively), there's no place I'd rather be. Life is just different there than the rat race we live in the US, I know it sounds cliche but it's true. When this couple says that in the US you live a more insular life, they aren't exaggerating. It's sad seeing streets empty of people here in the US. I think the car culture here is what contributes to the animosity that people have here. It's different in Spain.
Its so nice seeing USA citizens appreciate the quality of life in Europe. :)
She said a very important thing at the end about the entire country being kid friendly. When I visited Spain a baby stroller was always pulled up to a big family dinner at 11PM! The way the US is structured makes it very difficult to be a parent and have a normal life. It’s awful for everyone’s quality of life.
What is a baby stroller - some kind of small SUV?
@@wtfwtf89baby stroller is a pram, it’s also used in parts of Europe as the same term
@@conorquarry615 That was obviously a joke at Americans.
I died at the $215 full-time daycare. In the US it’s 7x that and getting more expensive
Money matters but happiness matters the most…
We were in Barcelona 5months ago and its beautiful!Definitely top 3 most favourite country we’ve been
As a former Kansan myself, they would have been much happier living anywhere else 😆😆 Kansas doesn't set a high bar!
The bar in the US overall is pretty low
What is so bad about Kansas? Genuinely curious, because I've never been
@@juliamrtn4837 Probably just that it's relatively boring. I personally would pick Kansas over anywhere on the coasts though simply because it would be so much cheaper. However, I enjoy the great plains atmosphere more than most people.
@ARandomDonut thanks for responding 😀
exMichigan in Spain , get by on 1500 a month for two. Small fishing village on the Valencia coast.
That's amazing! I lived in Cheste and Valencia as a nanny. How are you able to live there legally?
I spent six months in Barcelona and everything they’re saying is correct - it is a completely different pace of life. It’s good that they selected a much lower cost of living area in Spain than the larger cities
I love these videos but honestly the amounts of money that they had or have I'm like, wow that's such a different story than mine. I moved to an island in Finland with like 3k in savings and my husband and I were able to make it work. We're not dropping a cool half mil on a house, nor are we paying for extra health insurance, and studying is much cheaper. One of the best things about living in the Nordics is that it's possible to live on a lot less. Which means you have more time for other things! There's an incredible diversity in american expats living situations, it's so cool to see in this series.
I agree that daily life, the rhythm of life, is nicer in Spain than in North America, for me.
This is what I want for my life
me too! showing this video to my husband now!
I would also live in Spain 🇪🇸. It’s an amazing place, and the people are great. Food is amazing too
This is a great Make It profiling people (who had basically achieved the American Dream) who moved to Spain. Spain (and Denmark) are the best countries to raise children. It was also interesting to hear the differences they noticed spending time inside more while living in the US vs being out and about more often in Spain.
Inspiring to hear their story for me since I'm planning to do the same except am planning on being an expat from the Midwest to Madrid.
I can't seem to find a video of anyone moving TO the U.S. and being happier. 🤔
That says a lot right there.
Exactly!
No? About 5m of them a year. More immigrants go to the US than any other country, and they are MUCH happier there.
Maybe it’s because the people who move to the US (or UK for us Brits), have usually come from poorer countries or have had less freedoms than we enjoy. So they’re able to ignore our problems a little easier. For us though, the low quality of life we experience, makes us desperate to leave!
@@jkae91 where do you live in the US?
How does an American just move to Europe though? They never mention visa processes and bureaucracy in these videos which is literally the most complex and difficult part of any of it
And filing taxes. US citizens still have to file and report income earned abroad.
@@HL-pi5ox The US and spain have a tax treaty meaning after you pay spain taxes you don't have to pay us taxes
spain is pretty easy to get residency if you meet certain conditions: you can buy a house or have a stable income more than 3k euros per month
They clearly got a work visa--teaching English. Most people can do this abroad as English is in demand. It helps if you have a credential but is not always necessary.
Well clearly they had to go through a process, but they keep it short a sweet genius😂
Good luck to them. Brave to have jobs where they bring in only half their bills some months. I like that this channel doesn't just show the mega success stories.
I always wanted to move to Spain, this is making me more excited. 😊
I love this! They chased their dreams even when their son was about to be born. And what an amazing culture and language for their son to be born into ❤
I hope this does not become a trend and displace the local population there like what has happened in Portugal. The local real estate market in Portugal has pretty much been wrecked by expats who came from rich countries and bid up real estate there.
Just like the Chinese who came into British Colombia and California and drove up costs for the average Canadian and American, or Latin Americans who came to Miami has put prices eat stratospheric levels…
Well, at first they were making money from Spanish wages (he mentions earning like 750€ a month when he started working there). Of course, it's hard to pay a 900€ rent with a 750€ wage, that's why they are now living from being youtubers... obviously this can't work for everyone. Not every american who comes to Europe can manage to make a 1,5M subscribers channel... maybe an Onlyfans, but there is so much market for this kind of content.
It's already happening in big Spanish cities and touristic areas.
I lived in Spain (Madrid) as a teen in the 90s. The Euro wasn't in circulation at the time. Went to HS there.
I had 6 months of Castillian Spanish tutorials before moving there. Beautiful country, culture, music, lifestyle, great food, and people.
It's definitely a big life/work balance difference (in comparison to the US).
You work to live, not live to work.
Yup America is like that
@@lavonnealexander6936 America is definitely live to work.
I stayed in Europe on couple of extended business trip. They really know how to live
Just to make it clear, they are probably here on student visas so the whole studying Spanish is to keep their visas and not for the culture
Incredible! So many of their reasons are why my husband and I moved to Portugal! Europe just does it better - especially for families with small kids!
why do they have lower birth rates then?
Spain underinvests in childcare compared to northern European countries
Do you like Portugal? My partner and I have been considering looking into seeing if moving there is an option for us. I’m a therapist, and he’s in UX. But we’re older.
From where, Sweden? Moved from Europe to Europe.
@@deus_vult8111 my high school students tell me they want to explore, travel and just live before settling down. Most of the people I know wait until late 30´s 40´s and are having just one child.
Loved this video! The couple seems down to earth and likable too
I’m so confused about 0:46: wouldn’t € 700 Euros have been about $840.00 USD?
That is why English teachers in Spain try to find a different job as soon as they can, but the teaching position does make the visa that allows working easier to get.
What the video listed is the current exchange rate.
I really want to live In Spain but I can’t be a content creator. I prefer a private life….
*USA: Hustle culture*
*Spain/Portugal: More relaxed, much better quality of life*
You forgot Spain: paying twice or three times more in taxes depending on the type of income so the gov can keep their way of wasting money.
But even if taxes are three times higher, if you make enough Spain is worth it
@@HaimRich94 Free organ transplants, quality public health care, roads and highways, public transportation, efficient police forces, public schools, libraries, parks and gardens, high-speed trains... etc., that's what taxes are spent on in Spain, and Europe in general.
@@HaimRich94 Yes but you at least get something in return. Also, if you add up most common expenses like healthcare and transportation, you kind of end up paying the same.
@@BOMBON187not if you have longer wait times lmao
@@salozinp Tell me you don't know how the budget of Spain is spent without telling me. Less than 2% of the whole gov budget is used for health care. More than 50% of the budget is just to give money to people who are not working (pensions for example).
Spain is the worst example of efficient usage of taxes, that's why I said: if you make enough is worth it, because you will be paying more in taxes than what you get
Lost it when they said they are influencers.
They weren’t influencers before they moved there, I don’t like influencers either but it made total financial sense considering the wages in Spain for both of their past roles. Why not?
Living their best life! Good for them 🔥
How are you allowed to live/work in Spain? Dont you need some workinf visa?
If the original salary for teaching English is $753 and current rent is $950, it doesn't seem natives in Spain have it easy. It sounds even worse than the US...The key is making money remote while taking advantage of a lower cost of living somewhere else. Spain or not.
The minimum wage in Spain is 1050 euros per month (an 8 hour job, 5 days a week).....if they earn less it is because they only work half a day (4 hours a day, 5 days a week) or they only work a few hours a day on some days........
@@antoniogarcialopezvazquez4806 Soy Español, vivo en España.
No puedes decir que es 1323 euros cuando si buscas en google sale rapido.
Si quieres te dejo el enlace de la busqueda en Google del SMI(Salario minimo interprofesional) en 2024.
El Salario Mínimo Interprofesional (SMI) para 2024 se sitúa en 15.876 euros anuales distribuidos en 14 pagas de 1.134 euros, con lo que acumula un incremento del 54% desde el año 2018.
Desde luego los locales tenemos problemas para alquilar es porque los sueldos son bajos con poca subida de sueldos pero tambien es porque no hay tantos pisos para tantas personas que quieren vivir en las principales ciudades.
(si las ciudades no hacen casas nuevas suben los alquileres, se llama oferta y demanda, y como los sueldos no suben al mismo nivel que el nivel de vida ahi tienes el problema actual)

We get it CNBC. We all know that Americans are happier living abroad. We know, I promise. 😭
wonderful.
Logroño quality of life is pretty good.
Beautiful! ❤😊
It is very nice to see people enjoying my country and all the great things that it has to offer. However, it is important to remember that Spain is a very diverse country, and the kind of life style that they are describing might not apply to other areas of the country. This video can give you an idea of what it is like to live in Logroño, but not in the rest of Spain (especially in terms of prices).
Please, I beg you, we like you very much, you are a lovely family. We wish you the greatest happiness in the world. But stop, we were all happier when all the USA ignored that Spain is very cool.
In Spain/Portugal and most of Europe, every city is a 15 minute city. It's only Americans who think having everything be a 30 minute to an hour drive away is good for you.
I mean USA is huge. Spain not so much.
@@emersonr7481 Then don't look at whole USA. Look at individual states. Georgia is half the size of Spain yet all its cities are car dominated.
Why is everyone happier living in Europe than in America?
Because its more human. Government works
In my opinion one reason is that we are not as ambitious as american people. It's a bit sad because we don't see ourselves very capable of doing certain things, you're very proactive, for example many of you have side hustles, here is more complicated because government is watching every euro we earn... But on the other hand we are more happy with the things we have, we are not thinking bigger and better all the time with all the material things, food we eat, work roles, etc. We don't pretend to have a lot of things and not having money in the bank account. I'm not saying every american is like that but I think you give more importance to that, maybe I'm wrong.
@@4piluchi My thoughts exactly. America is risk-taking while Europe is risk-averse. Different people are suited for different things, which is why people want to move to different places. I think the people who have it best are the people who got educated into a high-skill field in Europe, and then moved to the US for the ~40% salary bump. US is better for high earning professionals, while Europe is better for the average person.
Because they want validation. If you are truly happy, you don't voice it 24/7
She looks a lot like the typical Spanish woman from South. They did not go there on a whim. She probably has some family roots there
Hi. Andalusian here. She does not look like a women from southern Spain at all.
Wonderful story on doing what is right for themselves and they child.
Americans say they like walking in the city 😂
Ah, estáis en Logroño, que cerquita. No sé si os he visto antes, igual si, porque me suena . Yo estoy en Navarrete.
When I saw "living in Spain", I thought Madrid or Barcelona, no! Logroño!!! What a surprise! Y bien pronunciado 😂. I'm from a little city near Logroño and it's very strange to see american people living in small cities, good for you! Disfrutad de la cultura, el vino y sobre todo de la comida! 😊
We loved Spain as well. Thinking about spending more time between there and Portugal.
I read ' torture is banned ' in spain !!
As a Spaniard, please DO NOT consider any of the tips on this video before making your choice to live in Spain.
such a lovely couple!
I agree!
What a helpful promotional video for another content creator! Given their job descriptions, they must really love living wherever it is they are living right now! Thanks CNBC 🤣
Ah, man. So envious and happy for you. ❤
eek we are about to do the same thing! moving in September with our almost then 1year old.
Stop saying Expat!
US citizens exporting gentrification!!! YAY!!!
Great job CNBC Make It for uploading more Europe videos. 2 videos back to back!
Nice
The life in Spain is more human, La vida en España es mas humana,
I wish you'd include how they managed to get visas to stay in the EU for longer than 3 months at a time.
Anchor baby ftw!
so inspiring! love that you took the risk & are now living your best lives! 🙌🏻
Can you ask what visa route they took? Thats the most important thing when you're actually moving to another country
I view this trend of "Americans moving to Europe" quite critically.
I keep seeing false ideas about life in Europe being conveyed. Our health insurance is NOT free. We also work and pay for it. In addition, these videos often feature Americans who are "just" influencers or work in some way with the media. But we in Europe need skilled workers. We also have our problems and for that we need people who will lend a hand. We need people who don't just see Europe as an "upgrade" to the US and who feel inspired and protected by our culture and social policy. But who really get involved.
Unfortunately, it always leaves me with the impression that Americans no longer like their own country and just want to leave. I would like to ask the question: Why don't you fight for your own country to be better? That you have the same experience there as you hope to find in Europe?
Don't get me wrong: I fully understand that you want to look for a place to live that makes you happy, where you can flourish. And that could also be Europe. I am not against emigration in principle. I could be in that situation myself.
I just want to ask the critical question: Why is this trend so often portraying a distorted image of Europe? Why is there no awareness of the need to work for change in one's own country? And last but not least: What do the emigrants contribute to their new society?
Sometimes I just get the impression that it's all about taking and not giving back. But we Europeans have fought hard for our high social standards and continue to do so today.
2100$ is a lot of money per month! I spend 1000$ more or less
Being born in Sao Paulo from parents in the military, had the privilege of traveling all over S.America and Asia up until my late teens. It was truly a life changing experience learning other cultures. Settled down in San Diego now. I realized that the term "live to work" is true to 95% of Americans.
They seem happy. Good on them. Now that hat . . .😂
Most likely not for everyone
And not as easy as it seems
I am perfectly ok with people from other countries coming over, provided they intend to work and lift their own weight, not like the thousands of "tourists" we have coming every year to live on taxpayer's dime
6:58 so where is the kid at 3am while they’re out dancing?
I think babysitters exist in Spain
Country is beautiful but life quality is very bad if you have a salary from there. Most of Spanish young people living and working in Spain are suffering from low incomes and very poor life-work quality balance.
I was recently in Barcelona and I'm wondering how locals manage it. Rents are super super high.
.....? Xenophobe?
Fake news.
Spanish people have a great quality of life, way better than muricans lol
@@r3dp1ll gentrifcation, short term rentals where foreigners are willing to pay higher prices and of course greed.
And people like this couple only drive the price of rent, food, and everything else higher.
The grass is always greener on the other side.......for some reason you see Europeans dying to come to the US
Different people are suited for different things. Some people want to play the American lottery (economic system) instead of live in Europe. If you can find a job, America is almost always more lucrative than Europe in terms of straight salary, but has drawbacks (some people want public healthcare, some people want walkable cities). Europe has more labor supporting regulations and is friendlier to the average consumer too. But personally, I would never emigrate from the US. I love to travel, and it is the best bang for your buck in terms of scenery. I've been out of the country a handful of times, but the fact that you have basically every biome you could ask for within your own country is something that I value highly. Maybe some of these Europeans wanting to come to America are the same way.
Hmmm.... Danish, Germans, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, French, Finnish, etc... are clamoring to come to the US? Don't really think that's the case. Pretty sure living in a country with little to no school shootings, 5-6 weeks of vacation time from their employers, more equitable government (not worrying about if a presidential candidate is trying to stage a coup if he looses an election for example), much more affordable healthcare makes them appreciate living in the EU.
There's no perfect country but sometimes the grass is a bit greener on the other side despite lower salaries and higher taxes (which go back to benefit the public through infrastructure, healthcare, etc..)
Maybe 150 years ago, not sure that’s still the case 😂
I would never live in the US
Ni de broma
Unsustainable long term. No retirement savings.
In their mid thirties before moving to Spain, they only had 45k combined? Not good.
I can't stop rolling my eyes on another video about another brilliant influencer, with a bright smile and cheerful voice, with a bright smile cheerful voice, who build a successful business career and telling us how great their life is, snd that we should follow their channels... 🙄
You lost me at "decided to start a tiktok account"
I'm more interesting of how they get their visas?! Until you are USA citizens it is not so easy.
Yes it’s cheaper but they also earn much less than in the U.S… 🤦🏻
The insane feat that you have achieved is that with basically no education, you moved to a foreign country, had no jobs and you managed to CREATE income out of thin air, by managing to be interesting and translating that into money. I have spent 16 years at university, have 2 majors, pharmacy and business and two masters computer science and an MBA, speak 5 languages and have basically spent my entire life unemployed. Hadn't it been because I inherited real estate, I would have starved to death homeless.
How did you end uo in logron̈o? I lived in N.Y most of my life but now im in madrid and i want to move to mallorca
Our health care is $2000 for the month.
Sounds like you need to change your plan…
Also nothing happening in that city
IOur congress has no idea how we Americans are feeling, we individuals are fed up with this treasonous administration. I feel pity for our country. A lot of people are suffering to survive! I appreciate Gianna Everett! Imagine investing $2000 and receiving $6,500 in 4days.
Investing in many sources of income that are independent on government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.
Considering the economic situation I ask,?? How can we save our families and friends from financial slavery. It's getting more scary how people are really suffering these days.I can't fold and watch people around me suffer.
Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the near future, so anyone who is not investing now is missing a great Opportunity.
I'm favoured, $26K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support homeless and folk's with disabilities all thanks to Expert
You're right! The very first time i tried. I invited $1000 and after a week, I receive $10,000, that really helped us a lot to pay up our bills
Cool, I'd never heard of this city. I wonder why they chose Spain over all other European countries though when they couldn't speak the language?
“We were pregnant?” Boy if you don’t…
How about taxes for American citizens living in Spain? I heard is a huge percentage that you have to pay when filing taxes. Can anyone explain?
You have to file taxes, but won't pay anything under something like 100k
Would love to go to Spain. Their food is delicious!
And quality healthcare, absence of armed people, security in the streets, history, gastronomy, landscape and cultural variety, excellent communications, social development, landscapes...
Wellcome to Spain. Logroño is not a normal city for expats. You have to be a hardcore wine lover to choose the city that otherwise is quite boring.
Puede que no busquen una gran ciudad con muchas diversiones y poca calidad de vida. Puede que busquen una ciudad tranquila con calidad de vida y seguridad para ver crecer a su familia. No todos los expatriados que vienen a España buscan sol y playa y grandes urbes. Hay gente ,la más sensata que busca cultura,historia, tradiciones, gastronomía de calidad, etc. En España si eres nómada digital puedes vivir en cualquier sitio ya que la conexión de fibra óptica y el 5G llega al 99% de la población. El precio de la vivienda en una ciudad pequeña o un pueblo del interior o de zonas lejos del turismo masivo es mucho más económico y la calidad de vida y seguridad superior al de las grandes ciudades y zonas de turismo de sol y playa.

I wonder if this young couple will have a comfortable retirement, if they stay in Spain.
Relying on the public pension insurance of course not
Is it only me or anyone else think Eric is like… nerdy-hot ? 🔥
