Hi guys 💗 definitely did not emphasize enough but location and “newness” plays a BIG factor for rent pricing which I know you guys know! The building I live in is brand new and considered luxury, so put that with a very expensive area and that’s the rent 🥲 I got a good deal for this luxury apartment and wanted to stay in Arlington because it was close to my office and Washington DC💗 I prepared and budgeted for this experience as I know it will probably only be one year living alone and at a place like this, I wanted to be transparent but just don’t forget rent varies depending on your location ❤️🔥 Comment from : Jenna Hong |

thats a great price for the square footage and your apartment is beautiful!!! I live on my own, and as much as it sucks spending a lot of money, the other perks outweigh that Comment from : The Shelby Palace |

I’m just curious about when you said your living expenses shouldn’t be above 30 I live in the uk I’m 19 I live on my own and usually after I pay all my bills like rent phone Wi-Fi bill tv licence gas electric food and more I have around 200-300pounds left and is with a salary of around 1600 a month I’m just not sure if that’s good or bad or what direction should I go in if someone can advise me on something it would be great Comment from : BH |

I'm so glad people like you make realistic videos! It's bugged me so much that the gen below me has NO concept of why rent is expensive or the reality of moving out, managing finances, etc so great to have resources like these videos to help them! :D I had to learn these things and I canNOT tell you how many of my friends (who were a year or two behind me) have said "you know rent is not the only thing, you have to pay for MORE?" and I'm likeyesthat's how utilizes and billing works 😂 I know we all wish we could've seen a video like this prior to living on our own!

As I am watching this you are at 9,9k subs can’t wait for the 10k celebration Jenna🎊🎊 brIf I move out one day my biggest investment would be in “a nice and comfy bed and couch” I just love coziness and being in my own bubble and those two things are just important to me! Comment from : Fabricia A |
 |
I live in the middle of no where in Ohio, and it is so shocking to me when people share how much living expenses are I also understand the amount people get paid it usually higher though Comment from : noop5_plans |
 |
yessss this video is what I needed before ever moving out, so helpful 💗 it’s still so wild to me how much more your rent is but you’re also in a super modern building and lively area so it makes sense! Comment from : Selena Trevino |
 |
random but what font is at the beginning? I love it 🖤 Comment from : AngelinaSerenaXO |
 |
I live with my s/o and we had to spend SO much money on furniture and it took 3 months to fully furnish (a lot of furniture is out of stock bc covid) Our biggest investment was our couch Comment from : Nats ASMR |
 |
I have really enjoyed living alone I have been living alone since August and it has been so much more peaceful I will probably be living with my boyfriend next year too, so I just want to soak it all in I think knowing I can do it alone financially is really empowering too Comment from : Lauren F |
 |
I live in the Bay Area so this is a drop in the bucket for our rents Crazy but great tips! Comment from : Sandra Nuñez-Simms |
 |
Omg, I’ve been alone for almost 2 months too! I’m 21 and I was barely given any encouragement and I was made to feel wrong about wanting to live alone Thank you so much for this video!! Comment from : OffTheGrid Creativity |

My boyfriend and I are moving to Philadelphia from California in December and I'm so nervous I hope we're financially prepared when the day comes to move in! Comment from : Star |

I lived alone for a couple years after college Moved back in with my parents during Covid but starting to look into moving out again Living alone was amazing but I’m also happy I’ve had time to save up to invest in some big items I’m planning on getting new pans, a couch and a new bed/mattress Big items that will last a long time! Luckily I still have a lot of stuff in storage so I’m not starting from scratch brAlways fun seeing how other plan for this☺️ Comment from : Karolina Joy |

This was so interesting since I've never lived alone but always have dreamed of it as an introverted homebody lol! Glad you're getting this year to give yourself the space to freely create content and do your own thing 😊 Comment from : curlyhairlove |
 |
Definitely wish I watched a video like this before I moved into my first apartment I'm in my second apartment now, moving to my 3rd next month Moving and rent are just so dang on expensive 😫nothing really prepares you for life like living on your own and supporting yourself Comment from : Deshas Corner |
 |
Great video! You mentioned the expensive cost of cleaning supplies and paper towels Try getting a pack of microfiber towels to clean with Pick up dirt and you can throw them in the wash brbrMy investment piece has definitely been getting a Peloton! Comment from : Amber Travis |
 |
The one thing I don’t get from the renters perspective in the USA - after paying $2K for rent, you also need to buy your own furniture 🤯 I get it from the perspective of landlord - renters destroy most furniture, flooring, tiles etc after few years intentionally or not But to pay so much and also have to spent another 10K on furniture That will probably not fit into your next apartment or your dream home you’re buying ouch Comment from : Morgan Freeman |
 |
Super informative and straight to the point 👍 When I started living on my own, I invested in kitchen appliances such as stand mixer (I highly recommend Kenwood) and in desk and office chair But it is also important to find some funds for decorations as they make your space more cosy 😊 Comment from : wintry_enchantress |
 |
I live in WA and rent is sooo expensive here A tiny studio is around $2k It’s nuts! So $2k for one bedroom doesn’t sound too bad LOL Your place seems sweet You work so hard, you deserve it!! Comment from : Katya Summer |
 |
Where are you guys living at with those low rent prices? Comment from : Nicole Phipps |
 |
Investment piece: mattress!! Comment from : Vivian Chen |
 |
Omg! Rent is pricy! I pay $650 and $25 late fee if late for 3BR Apartment 2 parking space That’s a lot for one person but wow coodles to you 🙌🏼 Thanks for sharing that way everyone has an idea of the responsibility You work ethic is amazing Comment from : LulusPlannerlife Gmz |

im living in a studio apartment and i just bought a fridge yesterday and let me tell you, its a good investment ! Comment from : monalyca vlogs |
 |
A few months before I got my first apartment I won a free couch from Interior Define I didn’t really have to think much about it, but the quality ended up being excellent I’ll be getting my next couch from them too I’m in a house now and I feel like I’m constantly saving for investment pieces My most recent was a new mattress and bed frame Definitely expensive, but worth it!

If you don't already use the shop blue paper towels for cleaning, highly recommend - you can get it from costco in the auto section Comment from : Ayre |
 |
I have another useful tip I learned in my 20s Ask your apt if they have any income restricted units available You pay a certain percentage of the market rate based on your income level Comment from : Irene Kwon |
 |
I’m moving out for the first time and my lease starts on Friday!! Love to see your channel talk about the financial aspect of moving bec man that was a lot of $$$ 😂 Comment from : innsywincy |
 |
Yes, I've been living on my own for 3 years now since this past April And in the beginning it was just ROUGH with the logistics and making sure I had everything mapped out!!! I definitely agree with automatic payments it makes everything so much easier!!! as far as the expensive rent goes, that comes with the territory if you want to live in a clean and secure apartment where you can be happy and safe the expensive rent is worth it As my mom says "That's life!" So to cut down on some expenses I go to Costco and buy in bulk My biggest investment was indeed my couch! And I keep on budget with every aspect of living on my own Comment from : Connie Avant |
 |
I found this super helpful! I was looking to move to Arlington to be closer to my friends and job so it’s cool to see how much cost of living is there (((: Comment from : Duyen T |

Omg what a perfect timing, I’m moving in two weeks to a new place, it won’t be my first time living alone as I’ve been doing so for 2 years My investment piece is my couch and nice pans! Thank you for the tips Where is your round mirror from? Comment from : Baboumel |

My investment piece was definitely my couch as well! I believe in quality/comfort so I wanted to make sure my couch would have longevity in those areas yet still be cute/aesthetic enough to fit my decor Thank you so much for sharing Jenna!
