Wow, a single person earning the minimum wage might be living in the same city but in fact is living in a different dimension. I applaud your ability to take such good care of yourself but also your honesty and cheerfulness. Your parents must be proud :)
nearly 3k spending is minimum wage???????? bro here its 1500 here in austria what you even get to use without bills if ya pay ya bills ya have maybe 200 left dor yourself and groceries
Really appreciate the candid take; a lot of videos don't use a normal day/week/month in their life, and also pretend to be more frugal than they really are.
Hello Marcerly can you give an email to you to discuss a feature as the people you hired at Sixteenth do not know what they're doing, no surprises there for PR people in the UK, you may not know as you are so young! Don't want them representing you as they put you in a bad light by association
Can you make a video about how you stay consistent as a content creator, like what a work week looks like? What’s your process, especially for people just starting? With content, filming and scheduling and what your actual work/ life balance looks like?
I’m 23 too and living in London super interesting to see how other people’s finances look and the overlaps/differences. I think my biggest money saver is that I am not a big fan of eating out. Well done to you!
I love this format of video, plus you made it so simple, straight forward and easy to understand. Especially for someone who has no idea about London. Looking forward to more videos, probably about stocks shares and investments. I want to invest in stocks as a 23 year old... But I need some guidance. Thanks for the video!
Hi, I really enjoy watching your type of content. I was just wondering if there was a content creator similar to you in Norway. That would be really helpful to watch for someone like me who recently moved to Norway. Again, I wanted to say that I enjoy all your videos, especially the financial literacy ones where you share all your money-saving tips. 🥰
Congrats of finding a zone 1 flat that cheap. My landlord is raising my ROOM rent to 1250/month for a delapitated flat in east zone 2. The cost of rent is absolutely crazy.
Is it possible to make a video about your favorite cafes and restaurants in London? I am planning to go on vacation to London and want to get to know this city with recommendations by locals ❤
I absolutely lovedddd this video 🦋 I’m also in central London and needed to hear that the spending here is similar to others and I’m not missing any loopholes
Love your videos! Just discovered them ❤ it’s so funny how the things change between big cities but the overall stays very similar. I live in NYC and make very middle class money. I spent $700 on rent and bills (my half) because I’m super lucky to have a rent stabilized lease, so that’s a lot less than you, but I spend about $700 monthly on food and I watch what I buy - and that’s also just half!
ha ha I was just about to write I paid 1100 in 2003 for a wonderful studio in Angel N1. A quick google check showed one in a similar location for 1900.
It's realistic expenses for someone living in a large city. Rents are never cheap in such places. What I do is a fixed amount saved for the holidays planed for that year. Depending on the destinations, it'is like 300 to 500 pounds every month.
I liked this video, i really liked your honesty about what you do for a living and how you need to have a nice looking home to create content which in turn makes you money, you have to spend money to make money. I love London as a holiday destination, but I don't think that I could live there, it's to grey and cold for me, i grew up in sunny South Africa 😊 and I struggle with winter. I have been living in Porto, Portugal for the past 5 years and it is so cheap in comparison to London, and the weather is better 😂, marginally.
London actually seems shockingly cheap for living expenses when you compare it to random parts of the US. You can spend that much on rent in rural Indiana.
Due to the nature of her job, it just makes sense to live in central London in Zone 1 - but it’s hella expensive. I've lived in London Zone 3 my whole life and there are still so many cool things to do nearby, great restaurants and cafes, and it takes me 25 mins on the tube to get to the centre. I have rented 120sqm 4 bedroom houses with my boyfriend and another couple friend for £500-600/month each. If I wanted to live in 1 bedroom maisonette with only my boyfriend, like her but in Zone 3 it would be about £800-1000 each. So yes, prices are bad in London but you can achieve cheaper than her flat (which is super lovely and goals).
thank you for your video ! it really gave me some good ideas about how to budget in this city. can you plz tell where did you get your dinning chairs from?
She always wanted to live abroad and London was a great option. Since she had family there too. Close to Norway. University she able to get a scholarship from Norway government. She said in a recent video with Jade Casual Magic Podcast.
Woww I find these videos fascinating especially for full time content creators who are not earning. I am always amazed how they can afford to drink coffee, eat out , buy so much groceries and delivery services etc etc. I work full time in the City.. live in Zone 6 don't need to pay rent and even then I can't afford to do anything except buy basic groceries and pay the bills. I have one subscription for Netflix but that's going as I cannot afford it anymore/ Cannot remember the last time I ate out. I think it was before the Pandemic and the only time I ever take a taxi is when I have to go to the airport at 4 am when the public transport is not running/ How do you do this on little to no income? How much as Theo supporting you?
@@AthynVixen i agree re the mad spending...however...in uk..culture wise... it is never appropriate to ask someone what they earn... in France for instance, it is very normal to share salaries...but not in the uk.. tends to be very private...
Suggestion: please add captioning to your videos for two reasons. One is that you speak very fast and it’s sometimes difficult to understand what you say. Two is that sometimes people like to keep the volume off and just read what you’re saying
This is a very average budget, I don't feel for living in a city you have anything crazy here. I live in an expensive city as well and my friends and I are in the same boat as you. It's expensive to live somewhere like London! (and enjoy it)
@@Julia36Dnew york is much more expensive than London. There is a much higher cost of living there hence salariés are higher than uk salaries to meet that higher cost.
That s how so many homeless or pre arious on verge ...unless u ve a high salary msinly professionals, or family and friends to live eith you re finished....
Just a tip on your presentation style. Maybe if you spoke a little bit slower your videos would be better. You sound abitlikethisallofthetime. Example 1:27 It's a bit hard to watch. Sorry just my opinion.

Someone on minimum wage in London should move and enjoy a much, much better life elsewhere in the UK.
Not worth it!

LOVE your videos Maddie, I'm also a 23 y/o who recently graduated so I appreciate journeying in this stage alongside you!
Same, there's so much to learn at this stage of life

This is so useful for someone like me who’s considering moving into one of the big capitals of Europe. Thank you for sharing this!
As someone who also recently graduated and now lives + works full time in London I love seeing this, it's like a realistic inspiration haha

Video ideas ~ grocery haul ( what u typically but in a week, how to save money), fav places to eat in London, fav activities in london.
My full-time take-home pay in central London totalled £1500 in the media industry. Exploitative much?!!! I quit and moved out not long after....
My favorite UA-camr.
Is it possible to make a video about your favorite cafes and restaurants in London? I am planning to go on vacation to London and want to get to know this city with recommendations by locals ❤
I would love to see this as well! I think she made a video or short on cafes before but not yet on restaurant
I absolutely lovedddd this video 🦋 I’m also in central London and needed to hear that the spending here is similar to others and I’m not missing any loopholes
I found this so interesting - thanks for sharing!!! I'm trying to get better with my money so i'll need to try separating mine out like this 😊

Would love to see a Christmas shopping vlog & decorating ur apartment for Christmas ❤
Cost wise on par with southern California but cheaper than New York. Great video. You are doing well for yourself, keep it up.
I paid £1K per month for a large studio with a kitchen and bathroom in a Victorian conversion, overlooking Kensington Palace Gardens …. In 1988 !!!!
ha ha I was just about to write I paid 1100 in 2003 for a wonderful studio in Angel N1. A quick google check showed one in a similar location for 1900.

love your videos :) they’re so organized and fun
great video as usual ❣
thank you! ❣❣
I'm floored at the cost of your internet/mobile bills. I live in canada, my wifi is 77$ (44£) a month and my phone bill is 62$ (35£)
I would watch more of these! 👏
33 and living Frankfurt City paying 570€ per month for my 30sqm flat! Rent in London is crazy! But the rest is quite the same here in Germany!😊
I would love a video about how you bring hygge to the Uk!
Thanks for the work. Think Global ... Act local. Thanks for Financial Transparancy. It is important.

Great video. You are the definition of Mindful Living.
I don't think your restaurant amount was bad either. I don't go out to eat much but if I lived in the city I would absolutely explore it!
Wow rent is so high in london! A 111m2 apartment in southern MD (above dc) is $3,000/month.
Lovely video thank you for being so honest, the price to rent is shocking 😭
London rental prices are just insane 🥹

What travel insurance do you have?
270 pounds every 2 months for highlights omg! I didn't realise being blonde was so expensive (I don't dye my hair and had no idea it costs this much!)
Could you please make a video explaining how you take care of your hair with the hard water in London?
Hey
Thank you for sharing this !!!!
Off topic, but I love the trench you’re wearing in some of the clips.. where is it from? ❤
Hi, I’d like to know how you found your accommodation with such a price.
because its split in half? £2700-£3500 is normal in central london.
@@willb8841 I don’t care about the price. I just want a website to found a accomodation
I quote you "how you found your accommodation with SUCH PRICE" what you mean you don't care about the price????@@didix508
that's super interesting!! :)
what websites do you recommend looking at if im looking for only 1 month rent?
Thanks for the video. Always enjoy the aesthetic. Do you pay council tax or is that included in rent?
Everyone pays council tax in the UK, she stated that she pays £51 and her partner pays the same amount.
What Internet Company you use (WI-FI) mentioned in the video?
Wait,, is this your new apartment?
Yes we moved in a couple of months ago! 🥰
What made you choose to live in London?
She always wanted to live abroad and London was a great option. Since she had family there too. Close to Norway. University she able to get a scholarship from Norway government. She said in a recent video with Jade Casual Magic Podcast.
I was expecting your council tax to be a lot higher for living in London

I earn a lot more than I spend, and no one is supporting me. ❤️
2.5k a month is so for early 20s. How much are you earning if I may as per month?
Not an appropriate question. Very private.
@@imsk6729 yes but kind of relevant.. she states she is not in a job but then finds the money to spend a HUGE amount on unnecessary things

Council tax is levied on all residents in the UK. Not just London. You didn't make this clear in your video.
Good luck !. 🙏✌️ !.
Omg 2600 p month?:D wooooowzers
Way cheaper than NY!
Ohh raelly ?
I lived in New York for a couple of years just after uni and London is far cheaper than New York.
@@Julia36Dnew york is much more expensive than London. There is a much higher cost of living there hence salariés are higher than uk salaries to meet that higher cost.
Eek almost 3k with council tax for a 1 bed flat
That s how so many homeless or pre arious on verge ...unless u ve a high salary msinly professionals, or family and friends to live eith you re finished....
Please do more vlogs etc,
I feel like you’ve been posting tons on Tik tok and not as much on UA-cam
wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut you pay 2600 in rent(combined) ????????
We're a family of 8 in herts and spend around 120 a week on groceries *sainsburys, 250 sounds nuts for just you
Im 37 and i still dont earn enough every month to pay for all your spending 🙃

Just a tip on your presentation style. Maybe if you spoke a little bit slower your videos would be better. You sound abitlikethisallofthetime.
Example 1:27
It's a bit hard to watch. Sorry just my opinion.
I agree 100%... It is hard to listen....needs to breathe between sentences...

Wow you speak too fast plus your accent!!
