What I Spend in Tokyo as a 27 Year Old Office Worker | Groceries, Taxes, Cost of Living
RIP my wallet, lost to taxes 🙏
I decided to track a week of my spending! I used to track my spending really well as a grad student since my money was much more…restricted…but since I started working fulltime again I’ve kind of abandoned it….do you track your spending? Maybe I should pick it up again hehe
This was a really normal week for me I think!! Let me know if you’d like to see a month or something! Do you find this expensive or cheap? Let me know down below in the comments 🤗

My last video as a 27 y/o because I turned 28 yesterday 😵💫!!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!
Can you plz make a vid for a rent month cost
Bill vlog please ❤
What was that first shop with the white plates with blue painting design?
If people could do blue collar work in America remotely I think there'd be a migration boom everywhere in Asia
yay ffxiv andcoffee and treats is my fave way to spend
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉
God Frijoles suuucks, I wish we had Chipotle here
It seems a little expensive however you did get new shoes. Me and my partner live off the equivalent of 45,000 yen per week in New Zealand. Happy birthday ^.^
I enjoy watching you 'live your life' your way. Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good day
Happy birthday!! 🎉 Would love to see a monthly spending vlog including bills.
Hi Allison I'll be visiting Kyoto in November and Tokyo+ Kyoto again in January, any recs?
Hi Allison, Awesome video, as usual. Please do the rent and utilities comparison. I think that would be interesting fo ra lot of people. For comparison a 3LDK in Okinawa (Nago) is around 75000 Yen.
Happy Birthday
Thanks for your videos,please continue! 2015 was Expensive ❤
"I just can't stop getting sweet treats… it really keeps me going through the day" What I say to myself every day 😆
Going into the office always deserves a little treat!
II tanjoubi! Omoshirokatta! Arigatogozaimashita! Would be interested in monthly expenses and also income, etc. taxes. Didn't know about residents tax, but maybe that's like city/state taxes in the US?
I love the theme, one thing I'd love to know is a rough breakdown of how much goes to food/living/entertainment. And at what point you'd consider moving elsewhere (in Tokyo).
I use my Suica card for EVERYTHING. I love how it's accepted almost everywhere.
Don't sweat the conbini trips, heck, I go to one sometimes 3 times a day. lol
Happy birthday
Sorry for the late message… Happy birthday, Allison!😃🎉🎂
P.S. Your Japanese is really good!👍️
Happy birthday to you Allison ❤. If I compare my life in where a live vs Japan i think I'll move to Japan cuz it's cheap to me and yes i wouldn't mind seeing a nother video prior to this subject ur content is so entertaining yet informative , thanks for sharing ,love u ❤
Thanks for sharing the typical daily life stuff. I think that's great for people to see. It's not all anime and temples and sushi every day. I used to just think of ¥100 as $1 in my head when I lived near Osaka years ago. That's essentially how it's treated as a local. So, not considering the current exchange rate, which is always changing, it felt like you spent roughy $300 for a week. That's not too bad.
happy birthday allison!! been subscribed for years now but only just realised you like ff14?? your character looks cute!!
Oh definitely make a video about taxes, utilities, rent etc. I'm looking into moving there and it would be very helpful to see what is to be expected.
Happy birthday, Allison! Yes, we would love to see a monthly breakdown of your budget!
❤
YES do a video for the month expenses please
Are you putting any money away for retirement?
Subscribed because a daily life expenses are interesting and similar breakdowns of costs of basically just living even the monthly expenses be interesting
That resident tax is always painful 💸
🎉🎉🎉🎉Happiest of birthday wishes to you!!!!❤
Thanks for sharing Allison! Out of curiosity, do the grocery stores there have organic/healthy sections like they do in the States? Or is that not really a thing over there?
Belated Happy Birthday Alison,I find your videos fascinating! Love to see how people live everyday life in other cultures. Keep it up. Xx🎉

I think you are spending too much at the convenience stores. I used to do that not anymore and I’m saving a lot of money. I make my own food for work and try not too buy too many coffees, the money I save I can buy stuff that I want. 😊 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy belated birthday!🎂🎉
I love your videos!! We plan to visit Japan next year and it's so helpful to hear the generic costs of daily life. Also, it's so fun to hear you speak Japanese!
I don't know much, but you sound great! 🎉
Thank you for posting this! Very informative. California's gotten so expensive, my husband and I have good jobs but with food and living expenses being double how much is used to be, it's still a struggle. Not to mention rent😭
Happy Birthday Allison 🎂 🎉 🎈
🎉Happy Birthday 🎉
How interesting, I did not know that you'd rent a room to have a party in, instead of having it at your house!
