Hello everyone, I'm Terry. I've been in Seattle for about two months. In the middle of these two months, I haven't been anywhere because I don't have a car now. I'm staying at my college classmate's house. I thought it would be rare to get up so early to shoot a video. Many people are curious about how much money it costs to live and work in the United States. Seattle is not as expensive as New York or San Francisco, but it is definitely very expensive in the United States.

We'll see.

Let me show you my room now. There's a simple bed and a table. Everything in the room is my whole life. When I left Canada, I sold everything and threw it away. It's like a very simple life. I'm now living in my college classmate's house. This is the second floor.

There are two rooms and we share a bathroom in both rooms. I pay him 800 US dollars per month. This kind of small room is about this price in this area. Let's go downstairs and see what the house looks like outside.

Oh shit, there's a package. I got my Amazon package. This house is called Townhouse. Townhouse is a whole house. After it's built, every section is one. The difference between a single house and a villa is that each house is connected. So if you play music loudly, your neighbors can hear it. It's more privacy-friendly than condos.

The price and value of growth is also due to the middle of condos and single-use villas. The advantage of living in a townhouse is that it is more private than a condo. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to mess with your house because your house is connected to the neighbors next door. You do not have a great right to decide what to add today. Or you want to spray different colors of paint outside. Or you want to change bricks and chopsticks. It's not really possible to change or do anything. Unless your neighbor agrees to do the same thing with you. I'm not good at it. I'm going to die.

The benefits of making coffee yourself are really good. You can see how much it costs to buy a cup of coffee in Starbucks. 3 or 5 dollars. It's 3 dollars. If you buy 200 cups of coffee a year, it's 6000 dollars a year. It's spent on coffee. I don't think it's necessary to spend money like this. It's about 4:30 now. Let's go eat.

Today I'm going to eat Domino's pizza. I bought this pizza on my weekend. I bought two hours of pizza and put it in the fridge. I think I can eat it for a long time. Pizza is the easiest. Just put it on the plate and heat it up. This is my favorite pizza flavor. Chicken breast, onion and pineapple. And this is sausage and salami. It's time to eat. I'm going to eat pizza.

It's 4pm now, the weather outside is getting dark We're going to eat something to replenish our energy We're going to the gym later, let's go It's time to drink some strange juice We're going to open this today Protein shake 25g of protein Organic spinach, frozen I've washed spinach before So you can actually freeze it directly Put it in the freezer Organic mixed berries Blueberry, strawberry, and cranberry, blackberry

Put in a banana. Adding half a banana can increase the sweetness. Oh, shit. It's so sweet. The banana is too sweet. It's not good. How much is this? It's free. I'm not kidding. This is about... It's about NT$2. I'm a person who is afraid of the cold. So I like to keep my room warm. Guess how many degrees of heat my room is in. 78F.

78F, about 25 degrees. The electricity bill should be fine. There should be no price increase. At least my friends haven't complained about the electricity bill to me. It's 4:30 pm now. I haven't spent any money today. I haven't really gone out to eat or anything. I think I'll save money at home when I work. I should go out to eat after exercising at night. I usually eat a meal at home every day. Otherwise, it's boring to eat at home every day. Eat some water dumplings and noodles. It's disgusting to eat for a long time. I still have to go out for a meal. Change the flavor. My friends will pick me up later. We're going to the gym.

See you later. We're at a Sichuan restaurant in Seattle. We ordered three dishes. Spicy chicken, tofu fish, and fried bean sprouts. It's pretty good. We're here for the order. We ordered three dishes. It's 51.58 NTD. The cost is about 60 NTD. It's about 20 NTD. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. The weather in Seattle is like this. It rains every day. We're at Costco to buy some necessities.

Alright, this is my life in Seattle. My main expenses are just 800 dollars a month. I actually plan to buy a house, so I'm just going to live at a friend's place. It's not that urgent.

I think Seattle is a good place to invest in real estate. Recently, more and more people have moved from California. Remote work will become more popular. I think the house prices here will only get more expensive. Before moving here, I lived in my house in Rowndor. The house has been rented out. Overall, my expenses are really low.

Actually, I think my lifestyle is the same as when I just graduated from college about 6 years ago. My salary is about several times the same as 6 years ago. But I don't have this lifestyle inflation because I make more money or have a higher salary. I don't really have a desire to control myself. For me, a simple life can bring a lot of happiness.

I know some people in California earn $200,000-300,000 a year and still play basketball every day. They often drive their latest car, use their latest iPhone, drink Starbucks every day, or go out with friends at night. If you have a higher salary, you can change a car or a bigger house. The appearance may look bright and bright, but the infinite pursuit of higher living standards may only make you further away from wealth.

Because when you reach wealth freedom, one of the ways is to rely on passive income to continue to support your daily expenses. So if your life expenses continue to increase with your income, then you may be in this cycle of death all your life. Work for life, live for work.

I think people in the stage of wealth accumulation, in addition to creating new and increasing additional income, I think many people ignore the point of truly understanding and budgeting your own expenses. This is not to tell you to save money and reduce use, but you have to understand the lifestyle that can be maintained forever. When you can budget how much money you need to spend every year,

you can set a goal for yourself and create passive income to support your annual expenses. When your passive income reaches that goal, your life can focus on what you really want to do, and you don't need to work for money anymore, but for yourself. I think whether a person is rich or not is not because of how much he earns or how much his salary is, but how far he is from working for money. Okay, that's it for today. See you next time.
