How much does a young professional spend and save in New Zealand's capital city of Wellington? I'll give you a breakdown of my expenses and how I budget my money across my cost of living, sinking funds, and savings.

A few corrections:
1. Phone plan I actually have a PREPAID plan, not postpaid! I pay $35 monthly to avail the calls, texts and gigs I mentioned in the video
2. Education I was not able to mention this in my video, but I also set aside $160 monthly for my French lessons

This video was made to provide a snapshot of how I manage my money and is not made to brag. Conversations are welcome I would love to hear your thoughts. :)
