LIVING on $1 for 24 HOURS in NYC! (Day #1)

you know so many people dream of coming to live in New York City to create to follow their passion or just to appreciate the city but when people start to look at the cost of living at least in my experience they either forget about their dream or they get incredibly worried so today I woke up and I couldn't get this like question out of my head this burning question of if you could live in New York City for one dollar a day seven dollars a week and actually live a good and growth phul life literally every meal every source of entertainment everything one dollar a day seven dollars a week let's start this week challenge you know when I made that intro I was feeling confident I was feeling excited I was feeling like yes I'm gonna like take on this challenge I'm going to just destroy it but now I having it be 9:00 a.m. and no breakfast in my belly and just the dollar in my wallet I'm a little bit scared but right now I'm in the heart of Chinatown and I'm headed to the cheapest supermarket that I know honestly the best tour in all of Manhattan I got an eggplant for like 20 cents a tomato for 20 cents a sweet potato like a full-on sweet potato for 20 cents and also 2 eggs leaving me with a penny so let's get to cooking [Music] Wow this this is a lot of food for just a dollar so over here we have the baked eggplant with tomato on top season with salt and pepper from McDonald's with the two eggs I decided to make fried eggs and the sweet potato I got creative and made hashbrowns sweet potatoes and just square potatoes this is a pretty good amount of food just for a dollar it looks to be about like two meals worth so I'm gonna ration off half of this meal for either tomorrow's meal or a lunchtime if I can't find something else but it's time to eat honestly for $1 that breakfast delicious but I'm starting this challenge on a Tuesday which technically it means it's a workday today and I usually work out of a paid Cork in space but in New York City there's actually many free co-working spaces so right now I'm headed to one that's not only free but is one of the best views of New York City ok so right now I'm at the hotel lobby slash open floor of the indigo hotel and it's an absolutely massive space that anyone can come and work or just chill it has absolutely super comfy chairs and an amazing panoramic view also the Wi-Fi speed is pretty good so anyway guys I'm gonna get some work done and see you guys and few hours one of the best places to work in New York City you have the view you have the Wi-Fi speed you have the comfy chairs I actually felt like I experienced something luxury like luxurious for free but anyway lunchtime has arrived now and you know I'm not really in the mood for the same thing I had for breakfast I still have some leftover of course but having the same thing meal after meal it's kind of rough but right now close to the Inigo hotel I'm in a place that I like to call samples city square literally every store that you go into has really like I'm talking like premium samples so my plan is if I go to say like three or four of those stores then from all the samples that'll be my lunch [Music] [Music] Wow I'm sure this amazing lunch was great but you know I I wanted to the kind of like level up this time I want something a bigger portion that's an actual meal so just like my living free in New York video I downloaded apps that gave me free food so right now I'm gonna go retrieve my free sandwich and 22 ounce fountain drink from Jersey Mike's can I have a regular super sub I'm not sure exit I have like a coupon there yeah okay yeah yeah you know that expression like if it sounds too good to be true it probably is when walking in there when telling them that I had this coupon I was like this sounds too good to be true like no way am I getting a big like a massive sandwich and a 22 ounce fountain drink for free but as I was waiting there at the cashier she was just like plugging in all these numbers and I was like this definitely is not gonna work and then she looks up in the end I thought she was gonna be like oh no sorry sorry that's gonna work but then she says it's completely okay that it took this long because this monstrous of is completely free so I went with the super sandwich it's topped with ham swiss cheese tomato lettuce olive oil and vinegar and mayonnaise the best type of food is free food oh my gosh I mean is take a look at these guys right here I think it's about to storm so the entertainments gonna have to be inside tonight and I wanted the entertainment to be a little bit physical to be a little bit you know like a workout right now I'm headed to yoga to the people which is a free yoga class in New York City your head between your one foot and the other as close as you can bring one leg to your Sitz than the other every time I do yoga it just feels so good after it like I just feel like all the positive energy in the world just is wrapped up into one room but that heads then that was a bit too much today started off a little bit shaky you know I felt I felt a little bit scared but then I got the hang of things and to be honest I had I had a really fun day so I'm pretty excited to continue this I'm pretty excited to continue this weekly challenge one more thing to knows will be posting daily videos from this challenge at 3:30 p.m. you guys see
