The creator, a 27-year-old business owner, provides a detailed breakdown of his $56,510 monthly revenue. He first subtracts business expenses like team payroll and sets aside 35% for taxes, arriving at his net disposable income. He then lists his personal expenditures for the month, including rent, furniture, a new iMac, insurance, food, and travel, with text overlays displaying each amount, before calculating his total remaining funds available for investment and teasing a follow-up video on his investment strategy.

Best how I spend my $56,000 paycheck as a 27 year old who didn't grow up with a lot of money, but is now making really good money and doesn't wanna fuck it up. The goal is to build long term wealth while still understanding that I could die tomorrow, so it's important to enjoy your money. Let's get into it. So in the month of August, my business being social media generated a total revenue of $56,510, but I don't get to keep all that. Worst, I need to pay my team.

So I'm setting aside about 35% in a HyoYo savings account. $17,468.50 goes to taxes, leaving me with $32,441.50 to spend. On rent for this two bed, two bath unit, I best $3,300. Then to furnish my apartment, I spent an additional $2,700. Furniture is no expensive, but I absolutely love decorating my place. First time living alone, so I have them splurging a little bit. Then on my new iMac, I spent $1,820. Then we have insurance. I spent a $125 on my car insurance rank $285 on my health insurance. On food, including groceries, Tier Eats, eating out, I spent a total of $1,612. On travel, I spent $897. Some was for work. I went to LA and New York. And then for fun for my 20 birthday, I took a cruise. Gym, $350. I'm so excited to cancel my Equinox membership next month. Business expenses, $525. That also includes reoccurring subscriptions. Shopping, $82. And that brings my total to $11,699, leaving me with $20,745 left to best, and I'm gonna show you exactly what I'm investing in in tomorrow's video. Base.
