Genuinely not as bad as I expected
That’s good to know I’m not spending like crazy 🤣😂
Depends who you are . I don’t spend hardly anything and I live in west London I live with my Girlfriend in a flat
£842 each on all bills
£80 shopping each a month which gets our packed lunches etc.
I cycle 5 miles to work but spent £480 on my bike which if it doesn’t break I can sell it when move so I see it as investment saves me spending thousands on train but for purposes of this divide that by 12 is 40 a month.
But I probably spend £12 a week still on TFL due to bad weather one of the days or days out with girlfriend each week .
We eat out once or twice a month for a treat spending 60 each time so 60 each .
Probably buy the odd pointless thing here and there so just say 40 a month on that
Give all that I recon I spend 1110 a month I think all that adds up to . What ever I don’t spend I put in to my 5% interest savings account .
But obviously if you want holidays and a car etc all them
Savings go haha
YOUR SKIN DYLAN!! Its glowing!!! what have you been doing??? looking good mate
Great video. I feel like to truly live in London comfortably, you have to earn north of 10k a month. The city is getting ridiculously expensive
The irony is that... £10k is an ANNUAL SALARY for an individual that will be in a job and working for a company that depends on customers earning 10k per month.
😮😮🤯😬😬
I love the new setup! Insightful as always ✨
Thank you bro!
I have been following you since I was in year 13 and throughout my uni life. I have experienced a lot of the same things you have and I am impressed of you commitment to give personal updates. I truly think you will make your journey work. :)
13 to uni is like 6-10 years this Channel hasn’t even existed for that long nice boosted comment
That seems to be a quite reasonable rent price for London... here in Berlin I generally paid nearly that with multiple flatmates.
Thanks for the insights - I'd love to live there for a bit one of these days. Good to have an idea of how to budget having a comparable lifestyle.
In London, knowing where to buy stuff to get the most out of your money is helpful, including leisure activities. But obviously sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and enjoy yourself.
As a sidenote, being born in London makes TfL price rises hurt more, because you always have a reference to when it used to only be around 75p to take the underground (when you were younger than 18). And bus was effectively free.
So so true! 75p for a tube ride. Watching the increase is harddddd! Thanks for watching btw!
I love your video! I’m looking for a post as a trainee lawyer and I also do amateur acting. My very small-time job doesn’t allow me to live on my own but I’ve been thinking a lot about doing my own accouting cause I think I spend too much.
You could be on £100k a year working full-time for a law firm but still be broke because you don't know what budgeting, forecasting and investing means as you live paycheck-to-paycheck and happily enjoy splashing your payslip on holidays, fine dining, gifts, alcohol and other non-essentials. I'm not implying you can't enjoy life and spend the money you've earned as you're an adult and have every right to, but there's a reason why so many people in this generation won't even think twice about upgrading to the newest iPhone, MacBook and ordering takeaway every night but still complain endlessly about cost of living, high rents and low salaries (yes, these are major issues that affect everyone too, but have they considered their own financial literacy?)
Yay Life with Dylan is back My brother
Hey bro thank you so much for watching!
@@lifewithdylan any brother
Hi Dylan, great video thanks for the expenses breakdown. Can I ask, whereabouts were you living in London as you can pay a lot more than that? And are you in commuting distance to London now you're back at your parents? Lastly, you gonna continue with the acting or try something else. Cheers
Thank you mate! And Pontoon dock is where I was living. Right now I’m 20 minutes from London Bridge back at he via train. Yes still continuing with acting + presenting!! Thanks for watching mate!
I live in zone 2 , 4 miles away from London centre . I’ve worked out I spend 1110 a month living with my girlfriend in our own place .
This includes all Bills
Shopping
Spending money
And Travel .
But you have to take in to account I don’t go out drinking anymore , don’t have a car or kids yet .
I cycle to work and take packed lunches .
I can see how some can spend over 2000 easily
I wonder how fast the WiFi was for that price. Mine is 380Mbps at home but certain areas can exceed 1GBps for home broadband
😂😂😂😂😂 worth it but I think it is expensive living in London! Of course it all depends how much you earn and/or can pay. Good video thanks!
Hey bro
Any updates for mishaq, im curious to see how life played out for him since dropping out of a levels as im in a similar position in school and want to learn from his experience.
Cheers
Hey bro, for sure ill get him on a video again soon man! Hes doin well - - barbering now
1200 on food in a year?! Not sure on my annual but my weekly is close to 50 quid cant imahine how i could spend less - literally just supermarket
I’ve spent close to 30k living in London this year 🤯
Mate....you lived very cheaply in London for a year. The baseline for living is around 24k per year. If you are living in London for that....then you are doing remarkably well....
Didn't you struggle to rent a flat while being self-employed? I am moving but see often landlords want us to be employed...
Hmm honestly not really! I had to send my self employment tax return over though ! Thanks for watching!!
Hi Dylan can you please do a university video of City University of London
Yes!
@@lifewithdylanthank you ❤
That rent is pretty good for London tbf
Yeh it was not bad at all!! Had a pretty nice place
Hi Dylan, how are you today?
Lol. Not that expensive although accommodation is. Acting lessons and eating out or drinking and Netflicks are luxury😅.
You eat little.
I live in South East 50 mins from London. One bed houses about 200k but council tax for a single person 120 a month even with single supplement. Costs of food same.is York that cheap?
Did bro quit UA-cam?
