He does or maybe did , I ' m behind on the vlog so I guess he could have moved live in Manhattan , which is one of the most expensive places to live in in the world . His apartment definitely costs a bomb , he mentions constantly that neither he nor Candace cook and just eat take out . There are a ton of really cheap places to eat well in NYC , but every time you see them eating on the vlog they ' re at some reasonably expensive place . That ' s not to mention NY taxes , his constant spending on tech , the fast internet connection he needs , Owen ' s tuition , renting offices etc . He could cut his expenses in half by moving to Queens and cooking at home or being more selective about eating but I guess part of the attraction of his blog is that he ' s living this idealistic NYC life that probably costs hundreds of thousands a year to maintain .
