Living alone in Seattle: How much I saved and invested, new years celebration, Omakase 🍣

Living alone in a city like Seattle can be a unique and rewarding experience. From the vibrant culture and diverse food scene to the stunning natural beauty and countless outdoor activities, there is always something new and exciting to discover. However, living alone in a city like Seattle can also come with its own set of challenges and rewards, particularly when it comes to managing finances and creating new traditions.

One of the most important aspects of living alone in Seattle is managing finances and saving for the future. Seattle is known for its high cost of living, and as a result, many people living alone in the city have to be vigilant about budgeting and saving money. Despite the high cost of living, I was able to save a significant amount of money by cutting back on unnecessary expenses and finding creative ways to live on a budget. I made sure to contribute to my savings account regularly and also invested in a diverse portfolio of stocks and bonds to secure my financial future.

Another aspect of living alone in Seattle that I have come to appreciate is the opportunity to create new traditions and celebrate holidays in unique and meaningful ways. For example, I have established my own New Year’s tradition of attending the annual fireworks display at the Seattle Center and then enjoying a delicious meal at one of the city’s top restaurants.

Speaking of delicious meals, one of my favorite experiences of living alone in Seattle has been indulging in Omakase, the Japanese tradition of letting the chef choose your meal. Seattle is home to some of the best Omakase restaurants in the country, and I have had the pleasure of sampling some of the most exquisite and meticulously prepared sushi and sashimi dishes. Whether it’s enjoying the freshest ingredients or admiring the skill and artistry of the chefs, Omakase is an experience that I highly recommend to anyone living alone in Seattle.

In conclusion, living alone in Seattle has been a rewarding and enriching experience for me. From managing finances and creating new traditions to savoring the culinary delights of the city, there are countless opportunities for growth and enjoyment. Whether it’s through saving and investing, celebrating New Year’s in style, or indulging in the finest Omakase, living alone in Seattle has allowed me to embrace and appreciate the beauty and excitement of this vibrant city.

    I found your channel on accident & have loved it since. I'm not an aerospace engineer or anything in STEM. I find your finance journey so enlightening to watch. …. My 2023 was not great at all. I lost my long time stable job, ran out of money, & by Christmas I had no food to eat. Towards the end of 2023, my year got better. I found a new job that I love, stocked up on groceries, oh & I'm so close of becoming debt free now.

    Yes go for PhD, if you really want it ☺️! I don’t know how it is in the US, but here in Germany you can also do an industrial PhD. So you are working in a company and do research there in a topic that is relevant for them and the company also funds it. Or you can do part time phd beside your regular job. These are options for people who want to do a PhD and still have a better salary than when you are only in graduate school.

    As a fellow aerospace engineer in the Seattle area I like your content and found you last year! It’s insightful to learn what other aerospace people are doing in their daily lives because there’s mostly software day in the life on social media. I started my engineering masters last year and will graduate this year while working full time. It’s a lot but doable. Mostly doing it to open more doors outside of my company and I think if it as an investment as well. Because of that, I haven’t had time to make videos I recorded.

    Well my love life seems to be going as well as the Bobba ball that only lasted for 3 hrs but I finally got back to my education after bouncing back from the whole..world wide event. That was a beautiful dress by the way, amazing, btw have you been to many conferences in order to 'stay up to date' with AE field? if so what are those like?

    How did you get an Aerospace engineering job in USA? I have heard that only US citizen can work on aerospace projects

  7. @daryakrylova3234

    Hello! Unrelated to the content of this video but as an engineer: is a PhD or Masters (at minimum) worth it? I do realize you've talked about this from your own personal experience in undertaking a course-driven ME(Aerospace) and that it has indeed opened up doors — but you were already in the industry. My case: 2 years of lock-downs in NZ, followed by a year-long contract at a company that was non-extendable (the role was a mixture of technical support/maintenance and engineering), plus a year of searching amounting to nothing (over-saturated market + not many companies hiring juniors in 2023). Is additional study worth the trouble? I do have a strong desire to go into aerospace engineering, but am focusing on fusion energy for broader industry applications so I am not stuck in the rut of being unable to obtain aerospace work being a non-US citizen upon graduation (hopefully this makes sense!) I have heard a PhD in the US is very different compared to NZ.

    Hi Abi, what advice would you give for a Junior Aerospace student to secure his first job as a system engineer by graduation? how do you see the demand in the upcoming 2 years? also how did your master degree make a difference in your career?
    Thank you for sharing these amazing info!
