I Want To Move... | Millennial Life Crisis 

Music in this video: - Sun medallion - King Tuff - Down the line - Beach Fossils - Oulala - Vundabar - Put a flower in your pocket - The Arcs Have a nice day :)

I love your channel so much! As a 21 year old not quite sure where I will end up, I really look up to you and enjoy learning from all the experiences you have had in your 20s so far

your music selection for these latest vlogs has been TASTEEEE i have saved so many

Living downtown is fun for a few years. I would recommend renting in a modern building with views and rooftop amenities. You have to live the downtown experience to realize if it's for you long-term or not. For me, it wasn't but I'm glad I did it. I bought a home near Leschi/Mount Baker and never looked back. I can drive 10 min to downtown if I want, yet I have a nice backyard, it's quiet, there's parks and community gardens all around. It's also nice to not have to pay $300 a month for parking :)

I just love the rhythm of your editing man

It's so nice to see you genuinely excited and happy for your clients! I wish real estate agents like you existed in my country

I just got the urge to be super productive and at the same time go shopping and hair sallon and get my shit together

Not Monica just touching the food and putting it back 😂😅

I just moved to downtown Seattle and it has been amazing! More suburban areas are nice, but it’s a totally different vibe downtown. I would totally love a downtown apartment tour in the future!

I would try a rental downtown for a year to get a assessment of how you like it I used to live in downtown Chicago and loved it

I remember my last Mariner club suite just like yesterday, however it was the late 1990's....and it was our company's; 5 lucky employees out of 500+. For good works. I had the company credit card; some prices are still etched in my cranium: a half rack Henry Weinhard's beer=$57. A platter of fresh veggies=$91. Two bottles of wine, $86. And then we each order a meal. Total was $700+. That was more than twenty years ago. CAN'T imagine the ballpark today. INSANE prices; haven't been to a game since! MUCH prefer the TV coverage, less hassles, etc.

Seattle was dope. I've lived in LA, El Paso, Tacoma/Lakewood, WA, & now Dallas!! I think the PNW was probably my favorite tho..

I feel like I haven't seen any of your vlogs in a minute! Lovedddd the music in this one, such a vibe. You look so incredibly happy

monica i am BEGGING you to balance the volume level of your video clips and the music you use in between talking portions….i’m gonna go deaf

if there is anything Monica does best, it's adding good music to her videos!

Yessss omg do the downtown apartment! It’s the best especially when you’re young, and you can always move back into the neighborhoods later in life.

This video definitely got me off my ass 😄 this is the level of productivity I need to be operating on 🙌🏼

I lived on the border of downtown and belltown (corner of 1st and Stewart) for three years and can’t recommend it. It was awesome at the time for walking to work, Mariners games, and getting to Cap Hill and we had an insane view, but it was just annoying to do day to day stuff. Grocery shopping was a pain, I felt less safe walking home at night, and it was more annoying to have people come over for dinner since they had to deal with downtown parking. I also can’t imagine moving our dogs downtown. So much less green space for them.

It's been a while (I'm old...), but I lived in downtown Seattle for a few years and it was great for that season of my life. I think the key to making the most of it is really taking advantage of being able to walk to stuff. If you're just going to get in your car and drive everywhere you need to go, it's not worth it - everything will feel like more of a pain, and you'll be paying a premium for benefits you're not using.

I hate a bottom freezer with a bunch of stuff. everything get stuck on the pulling tray. Also- too many homeless people downtown.

I actually live right downtown, right by the area you were driving at, and I really love it! I don't miss the residential vibes of my last place really at all, its such a fun place to live.

I LOOOOVE this new monica!! the vlogs have been so good and SO well edited, and you look so happy lately!!

As someone who moved from belltown to Queen Anne last year, do NOT move downtown, it is not as glamorous as it seems (especially as a single woman, it can get very sketchy)… stay safe and enjoy your neighborhood!

you need some space between the fridge and the side, panels otherwise your compressor witch is in the back won't get proper cooling and you can damage it

I love the bottle of champagne touch for your buyers! But every time I see you go to the liquor store I can’t help but think girl get your self a case or two! 😂

You should just do a staycation in a downtown hotel and just get your fix.

I live downtown and love it, honestly. Sometimes I feel the opposite urge to go get a townhouse somewhere in a quiet but walkable neighborhood, but there's something about living RIGHT in the middle of it all. I love having a ton of restaurants and drink spots directly below me, across the street, or just a few blocks away. Everything's so walkable. Plus with high-rise apartments being made with concrete, you almost never hear your neighbors or outside.

I love how happy you are for your clients!!

I’ve lived/worked in downtown Seattle for almost 10 years, and I can’t recommend it enough! Nothing compares to stepping out and immediately being in all the action. The convenience of walking to restaurants/bars on nights out is great, and as someone else mentioned, you have your whole life to live in quiet neighborhoods -- enjoy the city life while you’re still young and free to make that type of choice! That being said, I might recommend living closer to the SLU end of downtown if possible, like myself. The safety issue downtown in the area you were driving (especially close to 3rd) has always been pretty sketch and worsened significantly since COVID. As a female out walking your dog alone regularly, it’s something to take seriously. I’m excited to see what you choose to do next!!

We got a fridge review but still no car review😔

Great video! Your car is so nice, and I have to agree with others - your white heels look great, those were a good deal!

Anyone else find that the music in between scenes is extremely loud???

Ok so the pics of your car were ok, but in bright sun please so we can get the full effect. You Dad and Mom were so happy in the suite, and the game. The food and drink looked just spectacular. Made me hungry in a wonderful way. Oliver is such a little charmer, steals my heart every time.

I tried cheerleading for the first time at 25!

Wow and here i was thinking College Hunks Hauling Junk has been a small business in my hometown for the past 23 years of life *face palm* i feel dumb

I would loooove to see your journey if you decide to move downtown! I’ve never been to Seattle but my husband and I lived in downtown Honolulu for about a year and a half and I still miss the convenience of walking to dinner, drinks, grocery for a few things, concerts and events and our friends’ places. It’s definitely something I think you should experience even for just a year.

Speaking as someone from the OC, that downtown condo was AWESOME! LOVED THE VIEW! (yes deck would be better tho) Both dresses keepers.

Happy to hear Vundabar in this vlog. Such an underrated band! One of my faves for sure.

I used to live in downtown Seattle, once off 8th and Madison and another on 1st Ave across from Showbox. LOVED IT. But, given the current crime rates/homlesness, it's a major deterrent for me. I'll be moving back soon and will likely be looking on the east side because of it. Ugh. BUT!! Downtown living was rad. Loved that I could walk literally anywhere!

Today's Millennial Life Crisis Vlog featured a little bit of everything. Thanks Monica. Stay safe & stay silly. (P.S I liked the 1st black dress more).

How is she not dating someone? She’s so cute, smart, and funny. If I wasn’t gay, I would totally throw my hat in ring.

Late but north Belltown or South Lake Union are the best parts of downtown. Moved to the area in July of 2021 and love it, always a great place to come back home to

I went to a Mariners game in 2018 when it was still called Safeco stadium...didn't even realize the name changed until this

Loved to see the softball! I play Ultimate frisbee (very beginner friendly) and it's cool to see another adult rec league!

why not get a counter depth refrigerator?

As far as adult sports go, the swim team I swam for for 10 years had an adult swimming program with anywhere from 23 year olds to 60 year olds!

I feel like your hair has grown so much and looks so healthy do you do anything different!? I loveeeeee it!!!

loved the lil fashion show w/ the sports apparel!!

I've lived all over the Seattle area - back in the 90's I had a loft at the corner of Terry Ave. and Union St. and loved it was at the edge of Capitol Hill and Downtown. I had a Jeep I left parked unless I was meeting with clients at their restaurants or heading up into the mountains to ski or camp. I walked, bused or taxied practically everywhere. My place had a two-story tall view overlooking the park over the Convention Center, had a peekaboo view of the Space Needle, and never heard the freeway with the windows open. I dated someone who lived at 2nd and Virginia, and another person who lived across from the Rainier Club and the downtown YMCA (again - back in the 90's) - and although convenient to grab a bite to eat at any one of the fantastic restaurants or going dancing or to the theater, they never felt comfortable to walk outside their buildings at night alone. It also had a lot of litter around and the smells were pretty bad (for anyone not living above the 5th floor of a building). Belltown was always a great place to live as it's really is close in to that central area around Pike Place Market and usually great water views (especially if you are living on the 23rd floor or higher. I loved the energy in that area, and the activity down there made it less hazardous for going out later for a run or walk. I also enjoyed my time living on Queen Anne - neighborhood vibe with views of the sound and a quick jaunt into the downtown corridor - just not as convenient as Belltown. A lot has changed since those days - especially with what the pandemic has closed down for good - and the areas near the music venues I was frequenting more before the pandemic hit - down between Denny and Howell along Minor, Boren and Yale have really developed some great condos and apartments - just lacking the water views. Plus, with the increase in Night Markets in the area it really has a young Urban Life vibe. It really is all about what your interests are and if that water view is really important. Do you want to be close to where your sports are, your food and entertainment, or even work? My dream since I got out of college had always been to buy up one the warehouses/industrial buildings near Pioneer Square - convert it into huge lofts for my friends - I take the top two floors, and the street level is secure garage/workspace. With the viaduct removed the views of the water from those buildings (the few not already converted over and modernized) would be amazing now. I direct photoshoots at the Bemis building which is almost across the street from the stadiums downtown and the studio we shoot at is on the top floor and look out over the bay and up into downtown. A pretty cool place if you can handle the game day traffic, garbage, and street smell.

Seattle isn’t the same anymore

I have that same fridge and I love it! The wow factor never went away for me!! ♥️

Killer Dress ... closings ... puppy kisses ... hanging with friends ... Life is Good ! ... Very Inspiring ...

Monica! My husband and I are going to Seattle this week and after this video I just booked the Hayward restaurant! Looks so good!!!

first of all... your car is literally my dream car, even the red guts! *chefs kiss* Second, i live in downtown seattle and absolutely love it! I've also always wanted to live downtown in a highrise and be in the meat of everything. It's an experience worth trying especially as a younger professional. Once you settle into a house at an older age, I think it's less likely that you would want to move back into an apartment/condo style place. I also absolutely LOVE new york city (wanna move there for a little bit in the near future). So being in the hustle and living in a vertical area is a fun experience for me.

If you think Downtown Seattle is a small city, you definitely haven't been to Downtown Orlando LMFAO

The old fridge at the side listening like: “I did my best”

To me downtown Seattle is a pile of wet concrete

I bought the exact same Hisense fridge in February and I live it!!

Love that you have a german car 😁 you have a great taste, I‘d like one myself 🙈 ..some day

Your videos just keep getting better! Love watching your journey and the music in this video

Shelby and you will move to downtown Seattle together 🤭🤭

I know it sounds weird, but I love watching your videos every time you put one up because it's like I'm watching TV but like, actual reality TV!! You know what I mean? :D

I just LOVE your video style!! Great music choices too! ❤

The musics of this vlog are great, and the editing is perfect 😃 Thank you for sharing such good quality videos

Isn't it hard living downtown with a pretty energetic dog? Less green space.

How is being a real estate agent lucrative wise in comparison to being a full time you tuber? What percentage of your income comes from real estate?

Your editing skills are top notch 👌

There are football, soccer, hockey and basketball rec leagues for adults in New England at least. I imagine they're everywhere.

I lived downtown (near 2nd and Pine) for a year and enjoyed it, especially since I got to walk around Pike Place at non-peak hours. However, I always drove to get shopping done, which is probably a pain to do without a car. Biggest downside (which has only worsened) was the amount of...troubled people nearby, mostly concentrated on/near 3rd Ave. So I'd stay away from that street, as much as possible. It's worth experiencing downtown living as long as you're not committing to it long term.

Her mom vlogging in the background is the cutest

Ew downtown living does not appeal to me at all. So crowded and busy and polluted and homeless and dirty and sketch and bad for walking your dog. I will never understand the appeal other than the night views, close proximity to fun and city lights. But cons > pros IMO (used to live in a high rise in cap hill right next to downtown)

We bought our modern fridge brand new at the scratch and dent for $750.

Loved this video! 1. I lived downtown for a year ( well SLU) and I liked it, but was over it after a year, everything is just more annoying to do living there, like groceries, random errands etc, but I understand why you are curious. 2. I have that same fridge ( your new one) and I fucking lovveeee it. 3. I'm still hoping Shelby will move to Seattle even if it's just for 6 months hahaha

The suites at the Mariners game is so cool! We had one for my friends birthday and I would highly recommend!! I would love to do it again!

Im LOVING seeing you vlog about real estate! Please keep posting. I look forward to your videos!! Also agree with everyone else... your music selection is FIRE!

I lived in Seattle for 12 year and moved to Texas. And believed me I have missed it every single day. Enjoy it. You live in the most beautiful part of the country.

I must say Monica, watching the Financial Diet has helped me a great deal, thank you. xx

Have RU-vidr Katherout sublet your place. still waiting for a collab.

Volleyball is fun too! How about part-time vanlife with hiking, climbing, biking…camping with trusted friends/family.

As far as sports as an adult: you should try bouldering in a climbing gym! It works great for former gymnasts like you 😊

I would miss the water dispenser but also as i bias i never liked the bottom freezers. They didn't hold as much imo and i would always forget what was in there

Hahaha my apartment is on 5th ave quite close to downtown and I don’t feel home either. I think one big reason is the tents on the street and homeless sitting right out of the gate.

We are fridge twins!

There’s no way she didn’t take film in high school this girl just knows what she’s doing

OK first I feel the same/do the same thing with license plates and I thought it was so funny when you pronounced your license plate actually laughed out loud but also I might be crazy but at 16:35 is that girl walking behind you wearing the same jersey as you 😂

So proud of you Monica!!!👍💗

Monica must be killing the commissions I swear she’s closing every video 🤩

Rollerskating is my favorite adult sport!

i love this type of content! keep it up!

I just move up here in seattle from las vegas 1 month ago.And I am loving the area,weather,and all the outdoorsy stuff you can do.Monica let me join your bowling league😅

I am so sad about where I live, I read an article that spokane is like one of the top 10 places in the states for overvalued homes. I was so hopefully with home buying and becoming a 1st time home owner but with prices like this in Spokane I could neeeeeeeever.

I love the opening dialog with yourself. Was the old refridge a Bosch? There should a class action against the junk the dumped in the USA. Your dad is the greatest… he needs a channel on helping your daughters. Class act. I hope to be 1/10 as good a dad as he is. Lastly very cool to see how excited you are for your buyers.

Great music choices, sounds local to me😁👍Congrats on the sale, nice job👍 and many more 💎

I'm so glad you're vlogging again!

We need the deets on that salad!! Where from?? Luv your channel so so much!! ❤❤

Another great vlog Monica! Well done and amazing seats and suite at the Mariners game too! Keep on living your best life.

While we didn't own a car while living in downtown Seattle, if you like the quiet of living in a neighborhood, you probably wouldn't enjoy the noise of downtown. And I don't say that just because my girlfriend and I lived a literal city block from a fire station, but also lived next to King Street Station, which has a lot of traffic and activity, especially on game days. Our building also didn't have its own parking (it was income based housing) but most lots cost about the same as a building would charge for a spot in their underground parking, which tends to be $150-250. Course, where I lived also was at a huge apex of public transit, so we didn't miss not having a car except that shopping trips couldn't be too much. Not sure if that helps, because I don't know where the building is that you mentioned, but I thought I'd share my experience.

They have Tag, Kickball leagues and more in NYC. Sports are not limited

Surfing mountain biking and climbing are my three favorites!

Where are your blazers from? You always look fantastic! Love your vlogs sm! I’m going to Seattle soon from being inspired by you !!
