A TikToker, named Frankie Hoy, wanted to know how long he could live with $605 dollars for his daily expenses . Today he published the video of his day number 000 living only with $100 dollars and said he still has $5 left.36 dollars to spend.
The young man from 000 years shows his adventures in videos that he shares on the TikTok social network and where he has come to accumulate 325 thousand followers. In various videos he documents how he stretches the aforementioned $ 605 dollars as much as he can.
In each video, he narrates his daily expenses and savings. Sometimes that includes showing viewers how he makes homemade coffee in his truck, the one he lives in. Other times, he shares where he buys a very cheap slice of pizza. In other videos, he also documents the complimentary meals he receives from his catering job.
The purpose is to be totally honest about where he spends money and where he saves. The young man ends each video by saying the amount of money he has left. In some cases, he has even shared the days when he hasn’t spent any money.
In the first video of the series, posted on November 4, it shows that It didn’t start well, since he bought a coffee for $4.36 dollars. Later that day, he bought a gallon of water for $3.36 dollars.
The experiment has had two positive results, Frankie Hoy told NBC. And it is that he has become more intelligent from the financial point of view and has increased his audience on TikTok. Some of his videos have amassed over 1 million views.
The first time one of his videos went viral, Frankie Hoy was at an open mic comedy show –since he is comedian – and had no idea why her phone was ringing so much until she opened TikTok.
Other benefits of the experiment is that he stopped drinking alcohol, which has helped him save money. She has also learned to control some of her late-night cravings, such as ordering a whole pizza.
Now, Frankie Hoy says he makes smarter financial decisions, like ordering from Too Good To Go, an app that helps restaurants sell unsold food to people who want to save at cheaper prices.
