What we spend money on is a pretty fundamental decision - 🚙🍩🍸🧣👖… we spend the valuable hours of our life working to earn money. So, in a way, our money is a representation of how we spend our time on this earth (and our limited energy). And how we then spend that money then tells us what we are willing to give up our life for. Deep stuff for a video about what I spend in a month, I know, but kind of crazy when you put it like that, isn’t it!?
So, in this video I split my expenses into my needs, wants and expenses in running this RU-vid channel - firstly, because this was a super helpful exercise for me. Secondly because I love this type of video. And thirdly because I hope it gives you some benchmark against which to consider how you’re spending your hard earned cash.
How we spend our money says a lot about us, so happy “finding out a whole lot about me” 😂 Let me know what you think in the comments 🤗

About Me
I'm a lawyer, part-time RU-vidr, son, brother, startup founder, fiancé, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!
Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this RU-vid channel 😀
Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

Interesting to see what cost of living is like in London! I just made a similar video of how much I spend on a month living in Hawaii and it came out to $2814 (for my fiancee and I). We also live pretty frugally and eat out much less haha but biggest expensives are rent ($1308), food ($648), and car ($275) forsure.

I grew up super poor and had nothing much. When I got my 80k job I took a few months before convincing myself a towel rack was justifiable when a coat hanger did the same thing lol. I have slowly increased replacing the stuff I had with good quality items that improve my life every day. I still dont really spend much however, unless it comes to my parents. They can get anything they want, although they dont ever ask me for anything.

I'm glad I live in the Sussex countryside couldn't deal with living in London. I have a large house huge garden and spend about the same on my mortgage as he does on rent. But we spend £500 a month on food but this is something I love to spend money and time on as we go to the local farm shops and butcher. But we are a family of 4. Lol @huel such unnecessary expense for frankly not great food. So much ridiculous spend for living in London. My disposable income would only be around £1000 a month if I lived in London to keep up with my quality of life. Travel is so important, as a family of 4 we do a lot if it. Tbh our household spends easily 4k a month, but we both work and our household income is good. But we're in our 40s with a lot of work experience.

Hey Caren! I actually haven’t made a video about what I earn in a while. I keep my RU-vid business and other life expenses very separate.

For people who watch this and think they get the full picture of cost of food in London - this is not it. I don't know where he is getting his numbers from, or how many meals he has per day, but what he presents here is either a very loose estimate or completely twisted and unreal. 1. £100 on supermarket food per month is absolutely not realistic in London. Between me and my partner we spend £450-600 per month on food. We eat 3 meals a day plus snacks: fruit and nuts. We mostly shop in Waitrose and M&S. We don't buy alcohol nor typical supermarket snacks (crisps, cookies, etc.). This is excluding restaurants. 2. Bare in mind, he says they are visiting their parents. This implies they are probably eating there which is a cost saving measure. Perhaps they get some extra food to take home and they use it the next day. I mention this specifically as for both me and my partner the cost of weekend lunches is the biggest one from the whole week. On average, if me and my partner were to visit our parents every weekend and eat family dinners with them, it would probably save us around £200-300 a month. 3. He mentions he buys his breakfast and lunch when in the office but he doesn't explain whether this is from the office canteen or whether there is some form of company reimbursement programme. Again - the numbers that he is using for this category are not realistic at all. If you were to buy breakfast and lunch in the office in London, you would be spending anything starting from £15-20 per day. That's per day. Not on weekly or monthly basis.
@liam.porritt
@liam.porritt Год назад
Hey - thanks for this and appreciate you calling to light that this isn’t necessarily representative of many people living in London. I would say though: 1. All figures are based on my actual personal spending. We shop at Aldi (which is probably under half the cost of M&S and considerably cheaper than Waitrose), buy almost no ready meals and cook max three nights per week, as well as at weekends. Between two people, that’s £200, as Beth and I don’t split this cost, as I said at the start of the video. 2. We probably eat an average of 1 dinner and 1 lunch per week with parents, averaged out over a month. Don’t bring food home from there though. 3. Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough in the video, but I did mention that I get a £2 a day allowance from work, which is for use in the office canteen. Breakfast is very cheap and lunch comes to £5-9 so that’s around what I spend each day in the office. As also explained, I get dinner for free when working late. Beth does similarly, buying breakfast and lunch at (or near) work - quite often she gets a meal deal (£3 for lunch). So, £200 on monthly food shops (me + Beth), £200 on food at work (me + Beth) and a bunch of free dinners, probably more eating out than you (as discussed), and a considerably cheaper supermarket gets us pretty close to your supermarket shop number 😊

Does your law firm knows that you have a YT channel? Considering you work in big law, are they ok with it and also ok with the fact that you have a few shots inside the office?
