861.99 a week for a year is 44,823$ per year and he makes 110,000$ per year which is about 75,000$ a year after tax. so, he is left with about 30,000$ a year for investments, savings, or whatever, and he is only 24 mashallah that is pretty good. I guess an engineering career is pretty rewarding

I like how everytime you mention "my 2008 Honda Civic" instead of just saying "my car" 😂

Loved how you broke down your expenses into categories for easier understanding! Probably took a lot of time to put this all together!!

This was a great, and helpful video i’m a freshman in college studying civil engineering but i’ve been following your channel for a year or two. I’ve always wondered what kind of quality of life a 6 figure salary gets you and even tho ur in cali it’s still nice to see. So thanks a lot!

it's really nice of you to share this, thanks.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! And I love your money-spending balance, really good game! It's not always lively or not even worth sucking your soul out by cutting down excessively on chilling out, but it for sure should always be regulated.

Really appreciate the openness on your spending habits. Very validating to hear others expenses

deeply respect the amount of honesty👏

Love your channel man. God bless. Love seeing an engineer in fitness, as that’s who I’ll be when I’m older

Love the videos Tamer. Do you plan to make a video about how you became an engineer in the US and the process you went through being a Canadian citizen? I think the logistics of you getting a job and moving to the US would be very interesting for all your Canadian viewers such as myself. Keep up the good work

Hi Tamer! Great stuff! It's first I saw you. But I'll keep coming here lol. Your stuff management is superb! Thanks much for sharing

Long time fan Tamer! If you are able to take advantage of a 401k it is crucial that you do this, even at 24. Not only does it bring down your taxes but investing is foundational to your personal finance. Still it looks like you're in the green about 28k after taxes so you're doing great! Thanks for sharing :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing Tamer!

This very thorough!!! Thanks for sharing. 1060 is a steal in SF. Everything looks the same for me except I pay higher rent, and go hiking instead of gym.

Loved the Egyptian national team shirt, bro. Been a fan for so long! man you are doing great. Keep the good work up.

yo tamer this jersey is fire keep up the good work my dude love your videos

This better blow up, amazing vid

I live up in SoMa is SF and yeah, athletics is so expensive, especially if you do class-based fitness like BJJ. So worth it though because the Bay is surprisingly really good for martial arts, especially BJJ!

informative video, thanks mate

Love how you appeared with the Egyption national footbal team's jearsey.

11:05 100% 100% 100% agree and wish more people took that approach. We spend about the same between eating out and athletics, and to me, this is a part of life. Is it too much? Sure. But, as your income goes up, the amount literally doesn't matter anymore, and you need to live your life, you only get one of these.

great video Tamer! Super detailed breakdown and thanks for teaching me you can't say the f word during jiu jitsu competitions!!!

Being honest with your finances is something that is not easy to do. As a young guy trying to be financially aware from my day to day life, thank you

Amazing video Tamer! thanks for sharing and giving us a potential blueprint. Currently a sophmore studying mechanical engineering and your channel has been a huge help. does this mean you got a new job?

Love the detail.

felt very proud seeing the national egyption team shirt love your content keep it up

Well deserved man keep up the hard work

Yoo I didn’t know Saint Levant performed in Berkeley lmao, also great video bro and I like the jersey

oh nice I didn't even know you're Egyptian. great job on how far you've come and nice video. Always happy to see fellow Egyptians doing well.

We have similar expenses. Im in engineering in CA too. But Damn your eating out expenses are high lol Great content

mashalah brother you've done very well for your self. you might pay it in private but remeber the importance of charity.👍

Hey Tamer, I m a fan of your channel. Have lots in common cuz I was from Toronto and moved to NY city for work as an engineer back in 2017. Anyways, I wanted to ask in one of your videos you mentioned Euler Cauchy equations that were related to a project work. Will you mind recalling where that video is since I can't find it any longer. Sorry, I'm a fan of differential equations and partial equations as well.

Thank you for sharing

Great video!

This is so useful for those who want to move to the United States (like me). Great work Man! Keep going 😃

You need a costco membership to shop there. Probally should have included that fee into the price as well.

Hi Tamer, is it really that difficult to create YT content while studying engineering? Does it affect your studies?

all love and respect bro, I'm Egyptian as well and doing mech engineering and you've helped me so much understand a lot of things like what a design engineer does........now I want to be one. so I appreciate all your videos.

im honestly glad people like you pay for subscriptions. it means people like me can get it for free on piratebay.

that Egypt kit goes hard fr

Recent ME grad in San Diego checking in, running at about $530 per week including everything. Home cook and meal prep ( more fancy dishes tho) except once or twice, less extracurricular activites. Savings getting rekt by student loans tho.

Ayy you drive an 8th gen civic? That's awesome, so do I! Love that car.

“Because I go out a lot I like to use VPN” lol😂

Love from Egypt 🇪🇬

Great job handling your money 👏👏👏

My dude is pocketing 60% of his income. Baller asf

Dude - way to go, I didn’t know your Egyptian 🇪🇬 👏👏

I live in a rural part of FL and total overheard for a small house or apartment is about that.

engg. In UW= 6fig pay in SF. -my fever dream!

Got dang bro how much are you making? And better question what camera would you suggest for someone getting started?

Hello from your subscriber from Malaysia haha ^-^

Love it!

hey new to the channel and your video really made me think!. I am 24 as well, and sadly I was unable to go to University after college. (I did two years community college). My parents were unable to help me financially (they were already sending my older brother money and my father's business collapsed) and I didn't get enough grants to be able to afford it as a dependant. I think you are allowed to apply to college as independent at 23 or 24 or something. So when I was 20, I decided to join the military to afford college but got denied at MEPS due to my asthma. so I started working at an Amazon warehouse. work was hard but the money wasn't too bad. Sadly, I didn't end up going back to college and I think I make a little too much to get the really good grants as a independent. While my parents couldn't afford to help with college, they did allow me to still live with them and they didn't charge me anything for the mortgage (I suspect this is due to my grandparents never charging for housing as it's expected in my culture to house families, and I think they felt bad about not being able to help me lol) Anyways, I moved on from the warehouse to the Post Office and continued to work hard. I make about 52k a year base + overtime. I' always work overtime. depending on overtime I typically take home after taxes, 2200-3000 dollars every two weeks. about 1100-1500 a week. with your lifestyle I would be left with 238-638 for savings a week. I don't live with your lifestyle and I live with my parents. seeing as you're 24 like me, why aren't you still under your parents health insurance? I think you can stay until 26. These are my weekly expenses compared to yours. Haircut- 0 (I'm currently growing out my hair and have been for the past year) Subscriptions- $8 (Switch online + Amazon prime + Rocket Money + Unlimted Sips @ Panera Bread). Phone - 4 (Mint Mobile 3 months free with 3 months. unlimited 5g until 35gs) Health Insurance - (free thru parents, blue cross blue shield, 30 dollars per doctors visit. dentist is free twice a year for cleaning.) Car Insurance - Free thru uncle and parents Utilities- 30 (help mom by hiring a maid once a month) Athletics - 0 ( job is very active) Rent- 0 Going out - 50 (typically go out with friends once a week) eating out - 140 (Don't like cooking and typically get good deals thru apps) Gas - 80 (work is a little far) Groceries - 35 mainly just water, protein bars and energy drinks plus misc Beauty - 18 - hair care products, skin care, soap, toothpaste, hair ties etc. Fashion- 50 ( I like to get something really nice every once inawhile, typically a polo, jacket, sneakers or cologne.) Clothes - 10 (I go through socks, wifebeaters and underwear like crazy) Amazon Prime/ Random Purchases - 50 (typically random stuff, this week was getting galaxy smart tags, last week was a wireless charger and a car cell phone holder etc.) Gas station snacks 5 - gum, drinks, etc) Medication - 20 (it is what it is) I rounded up for even numbers and my lifestyle is around 500 bucks a week. I am able to save 600-1000 a week however I have to dip to savings often, had some car repairs this month. I was very generous last Christmas. Helping my parents with house repairs. Had to stay at a hotel because roads were too bad during a bad winter storm, giving out money for weddings etc. There's a lot of expectations that come with getting a "real" job. all in all, I would say I average about 2-3k directly going into my savings and staying a month or 500-750 a week. which sounds really bad now that I do the math. Anyways, for a long time I was salty about not being able to go to college and get a 6 figure tech job like I have always dreamed of however, after watching your video, it seems like I don't have it that bad. thanks for the video and good luck with your career, I'm sure as the years go up you'll make a lot more and should do an update video.

So are you spending half your take home pay on monthly expenses? Or is it more or less

Love this ❤

Glad to see the Egyptian national team t-shirt ❤️

Great video! Could you do another one about investing, if you're doing any?

3:44 jeez some of those prices for grocery items seems mad haha, u buying big packs? eggs for 12.99 rice for 23.99 and salmon for 34.99 xD

110,000 - (861.99 * 52) = $65,176 Home boy still got more than half of his income left afrer all of his living essentials.

Unrelated but can you do a video on how to get lean/your diet. You have a great jawline and I’m assuming you’ve got it by dialing in your fitness/food intake.

really thank you so much for sharing 😍😍😎😎 please could you tell us what the names of insurance company you are with for health and car insurance .

Soo where’s the video on how you got the SF, I thought you lived in Canada Lool.

this video is a bit misleading... considering he is making way more than $110k / year due to his RU-vid side gig and whatever other streams of income he has.

Great vid

Hey Tamer can you please help me out on how I build my resume when I am a beginner and have no work experience

Please make a video on how to find a remote job or internship as a mechanical design engineer for university students. Thanks Dua for your best career

Do you split the utilities cost with your roommates as well? That internet is really cheap! Thanks for the great video!

اول ما شفتك حسيت جدا انك عربي و مصري تحديدا اللي هو زي ما يكون حد صحبي ايام المدرسة و اتاكدت انك مصري بالتيشيرت فعاش يا بطل متابعك بقالي فترة قصيرة بس لفيت في قناتك كتير و بجد اتبسطت جدا استمر انت تستاهل كل خير و اتبسط علي قد ما تقدر ♥️♥️

It's nice to see you with my countries' national team jersey !

I want to move to a different country, I’m a Mechanical Engineer from South Africa. Any recommendations or websites to apply for jobs that side?

Wait so he's earning around 9K a month, and has around 4K expenses a month. Does that mean he saves 5K per month as a junior engineer? That would be crazy here in France

omg you went to the Saint Levant concert.. how was it????

Hi Tamer! What do you think is it better to shift to struglle With some coding language fo getting a Job?

TBH $110k in SF is almost less than average today. Me and my spouse both work in East bay area earning $350k each. Only then we could afford 20% downpayment on houses here!

Brother can you make a video on How much physics is needed in engineering ?? ❤️🚀

First of all congrats on your Bronze medal and you will get the gold next time but just follow the rules, second thing is what you spend monthly is not much compared to how much average person in USA spends monthly there is even not very rich people (like programmers, Engineers and Doctors) spend 3 times more than that in poor countries so you are doing good also with that, and last thing is that's nice T-Shirt Brother!

You should do a video reviewing different types of engineering, their lifestyle and what kind of engineering matches what kind of personality. I really want to go into Civil Engineering and specialize in Environmental. I live in a very renewable energy reliable area and it's a very interesting field. I just keep hearing bad things about civil engineering and I'm kind of worried.

So about $3,464 spent a month and income is about $9,200 and total net after expenses would be 5,736 left over which you keep about 68,832 a year. That’s hella money left over to save and invest to make more money. My math could be wrong.

The Egyptian team kit!! I knew that you have an arab origin, but I didn't think it will be Egypt man, like me 🇪🇬 may Allah bless and make you always in his immune. ❤️

What percent on an annual basis is costed out for all taxes combined?

Just out of curiosity, do you think its worth going for cs over computer engineering if it gets me a year and a half off? (Also note I would be getting a minor in CE with the CS major). I want to go into embedded software.

Hey Tamer! What engineering do you do?

Wow that's far of my income is right now, at 28 years old engineer i've earned 250$ per month here in venezuela, i'm mechanical engineer as you do, something is wrong with my income

Hey Tamer, do you think starting out at a startup would be better and more valuable than starting at a big company?

Love the jersey !

You forgot a large expense category: taxes.

Nah you deserve that gold medal. FUCK YEAHHHH!

damn i pay 1600 and thought i was on a good deal where did u find 1060 townhouse lol

Tamer, did you use to make 110k before or after taxes?

8:31 lol losing a gold medal for saying that 😂

your a real one Tamer

I feel like the exact number wasn't necessary, 100k+ would have done it too. Good vid like always

11:04 this!!

I did a rough estimation of his net income and after taxes he's making roughly 70k to spend every year after federal, state, and municipal taxes. This doesn't even include if he's throwing into his 401k at all. I don't think this guy could afford living on his own there unless he found a dumpy place in a shady part of town. What a great local economy!

'Rent' - end of video 😂

I wish my chipotle was $10 why does my bowl end up being like $15 😂

My boy Tamer, Honestly am happy for your contents they encourage me so much to do better because we are of same age, took same major ,graduated same year but you are far more and inspiring me so much. I hope this time you’ll accept my linkedIn connect .may be because am now of second degree😂😂..I tried so much to keep this message short for you to read.. Even if you won’t..just thanks ,cause those contents of yours regarding linkedIn helped me to finnaly land my first job at SCANIA TANZANIA..

Just curious, how much were you making a week being that’s the way you broke down your expenses?

How much did you end up saving over this period?
