 Hey guys, what's up, it's Kinsey and welcome back to my channel if you guys are new here. My name is Kinsey, I make lifestyle videos. I have seen this video going everywhere around YouTube. I originally said that I wasn't going to do it because I want to still like myself at the end of this video, but I feel like it's really interesting and I wanted to do it anyways. It's really been quite a journey the past week. If you guys are new here, be sure to click that subscribe button, also my Instagram and everything is linked down below. I also have a podcast that I love you so much podcast with Kinsey Elizabeth always linked below. So anyways, I wanted to do just from Monday to Friday because honestly, I don't spend that much money on weekends at all. I maybe spend like 20 bucks tops a day on weekends. I spend the most money on the weekdays because I go to school, my studio, and where I work out is all like they're all 30 minutes away from me, but in a like two mile radius. So I'm over there all the time. So I'm constantly like eating out, paying for parking, all that stuff. That's where I really rack up the money. I'm already just ready for all the hate. I actually just calculated it and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm 22. I live in Los Angeles. Yeah, like I'm not defending myself with this, but yeah, I have no way to defend myself. I just, I'm ready for the hate to come. It's okay guys. Okay. The first two expenses that I have. I'm going to do rent and my Pilates membership. So my rent, I calculated it and I spend about $287 a week. My rent is not the worst that it is in LA. Like I am in a house. I have a roommate. I got like a really, really, really great deal in this house. So it's not the worst that it could be, but I do spend $287 a week on rent. I'm aware that there are people who spend that in a month and you know, I'm really, really jealous of you. So congratulations that unfortunately is not how it works in Los Angeles. And then I have an unlimited Pilates membership. This is what I'm going to get the most hate on. I don't care. I literally just don't care. You can say whatever you want. Try to get me to cancel it. No, I'm absolutely never leaving and I don't care how much, like it's just the best thing in my life. So anyways, when you do the math, that's about like $9 a day. I know it's expensive. Worth it to me. It's what I care about the most. So I don't really care. I either spend that much on my Pilates membership or I spend like triple on therapy. So I think it's fine. Monday. So Monday, I got a car wash and I went to Trader Joe's. So I was working from home that day, so I wasn't eating out as much. Actually, I wasn't eating out at all. I went to Trader Joe's and that was $45 for groceries for the week. I don't know how people spend like $25 on groceries. I cook for other people a lot. So I guess I buy more food than normal, but I feel like 45 is like a pretty average amount. So I got a car wash. I got like a bigger car wash, which was $40, including tip. That's pretty standard in LA. Like a car wash is typically like $30 to $35. And then my Pilates would be $9. And so my total for Monday was $94. But I feel like actually I grocery shop and got a car wash. Like what do you expect, you know? Tuesday. So I went to Starbucks that morning. I got a free drink, which was very exciting. And then I ended up buying a perfect bar for $3.45 that I didn't even end up eating. I gave it to Quentin. I got the citrus defender. This is going to save my life. So that was $3.45 for breakfast. Parking was $4. For lunch hour, it's Trader Joe's. I got a wrap and sweet potatoes. I also vlogged this week, so if you guys are seeing kind of repetitive clips, that's why. And that was $7.98 total. Here is my Trader Joe's haul, my veggie wrap. And then I needed to get the potatoes, so I picked them up. After school, I decided to treat myself to a smoothie at Whole Foods with Dom. That was $10. Then I had to fill up my tank, which was $55. Comment down below how much it cost you guys to fill up your tank. Mine's like between $40 to $70. It can go that high if you're in that area in Los Angeles. It gets really expensive here. Dinner was $20. Oh my gosh, this is the night that we try to go to Popeyes. And then we doordashed Chick-fil-A. And it would have been more expensive, but I had doordashed credit. If you guys want $20 on doordash, I will have it linked down below. You guys give their covers, food, and delivery. Check it out. Also, I'll have my caviar code down below as well. If you guys live in LA, caviar is the best. We just doordashed Chick-fil-A. Because we didn't go to Popeyes. I don't even think I vlogged about the Popeyes experience. I don't even want to talk about it. Quinton had us wait in line for 30 minutes just to not get anything. So anyway, we... Because they wouldn't give us a plain Chick-fil-A. He is just a really picky eater. And they weren't able to give him a plain. Yeah, I get it. It's fine. So we doordashed Chick-fil-A, which is great. So if you guys want to use my doordash code, it'll be linked down below. OK, and then again, Pilates was $9. Did I get a Celsius that night? No, I didn't. All right, guys, I'm currently changing. I'm just wearing a set from set active. So total for Tuesday was $189. And what? No, $89.43. I definitely timed that wrong. OK, all right. Moving on to Wednesday. So Wednesday, I went to Blue Bottle and I spent $15 with Tip. I got, we just finished divos. It was really incredible. Got some matcha. Blue Bottle matcha was amazing, but they just raised their prices, which sucks, but whatever. I do have a grievance with this. Apparently, Blue Bottle just raised their prices, $0.75 a drink. And I basically sold my sold to Blue Bottle, so I was like, whatever, I'm still going to go. And I literally, $15 with Tip, was I bought my friend coffee. And then I got an iced matcha with oat milk. And it was like $12.76. And then I tipped. That is so expensive for two drinks. That's really bad. So I recognized that that's not good. And I just don't know what to do, because I just don't see myself stopping going to Blue Bottle anytime soon. I think I can cut it down. But it's just like, that's not good. Parking, I spent $8.00. Dinner, parking is really what I really add up, because I am in meters all the time. And I'm just like, oh, $2.00, whatever, $2.00 here and there. But $2.00 here and there really adds up, guys. Dinner, I went to Sweet Green and I spent $14.00. Sweet Green Salads are, I get $14.00 and a salad is really expensive. But if you've ever gone to Sweet Green, you understand that. You know the Hollywood rule, I'm not gonna eat mine right now, but it's just the best salad. I said this in every vlog. I think I get one, I honestly only get like one a week, but still, it's like a $14.00 salad. So, you know. Get the bread, preach yourself. Yeah, get the bread. I feel like this whole video is me just like defending myself. But one, keep in mind people at LA is very expensive. And two, basically LA is just very expensive. Okay, Pilates, $9.00. So Wednesday, the total was $46.00, which is better than Monday in two seconds. Thursday, I went to Pilates, again, $9.00. Celsius, I got a Celsius at Pilates, which is $3.00. I normally bring Celsius because they sent me a bunch, but I'm currently out of them, so now I'm buying them at Hot Pilates again, which is $3.00. But they're just like so good. The Kiwi Guava one is next level. Parking, I spent $9.00 in total. Breakfast, I got for free at Starbucks with my rewards. Coffee, I got a coffee for $3.50. On break, during class, I went and I worked at Bluestone and I got an iced americano with oat milk. That's my new coffee order. And then for dinner, I went to Zinc and I spent $25.00 with tip. Okay, so we're at Zinc. I just got my favorite meal in LA. The chicken, my bowl's so good. First we got a burger. Morgan got an assortment of things. What is inside? So, that total was $49.50. Friday, which was today, I'm home. Okay, so I went to Pilates, or no, Pilates would be $9.00. Starbucks, $7.83. I went this morning, got a pumpkin cold brew, sweet cream cold brew, very good. I'm normally not into sugary drinks and I'm very into it. Oh, and then I got a breakfast sandwich. Today, for every meal, I'm eating at home and then tonight, I know that I'm gonna spend $7.00 on parking because we're going to the mall and it's $7.00 in parking. So total today, I spent $23.83. When I don't leave my home, I'm happier and I spend less money is basically when I've come to the conclusion of. My total for what I spent this week was $324.76. I feel like that could be a lot worse. I feel like I've watched some of these videos and they're way more, but with rent, it is $611.76. Again, I feel like I've seen worse. I've seen better, but I have also seen worse. My biggest defense is I live in LA and I do everything 30 minutes in my house, but in all seriousness, I am trying to be better about finances and not spending too much money out. So I'm actually going to download Natalie Marbu's like budget spreadsheet. I'm very excited for that and really getting on into that in the new year. So that is it for my what I spend in a week video in LA. If you guys are watching these and you're looking to live in LA, you can definitely spend way less than me, clearly. You don't need to eat out. You don't need to buy the coffees. You don't need to go do all of that stuff and you can also get cheaper rent, but this is what works for me right now. You know, we can all grow and get better. But I love you guys so much. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'm afraid to look at the comments because I feel like I'm going to be killed, but I love you guys. My Instagram, everything is linked down below. Hope you guys have the best day ever and I will see you soon. Bye.
