On the January 3 broadcast of MBC’s “I Live Alone,” Ahn Jae-hyun was shown taking a year-end summary of his expenses for 2024.
During the episode, Ahn Jae-hyun reviewed his credit card statements to conduct a year-end financial summary. Earlier in the year he expressed a desire to improve his financial management and meticulously examined his spending habits.
Excluding cash transactions, he revealed his total annual expenses: 9,179,463 won on card payments, 803,000 won on fuel, 540,310 won on insurance, and 3,195,880 won on maintenance fees, for a total of 13,718,653 won .
Ahn Jae-hyun jokingly commented on his entertainment expenses, “I played some arcade games at Ui Market, but the arcades are scarier than I thought.However, what stands out the most are his medical bills. He said in surprise: “I go to hospital even for minor problems. If you get the timing right, you’ll end up spending a lot more in the long run. I have been very ill this year. My medical expenses amounted to over 6 million won.”
Reflecting on his frugality, Ahn Jae-hyun shared: “In 2024, if I wanted something, I held back the thought and went to sleep.” He expressed his intention to save more in the coming year, adding: “In 2025 I want to fill my diary with lots of activities. I don’t need to get much rest; I just want to push myself harder.”
Later, Ahn Jae-hyun called his mother to wish her a happy new year and express his love. Holding her old dog Anju in her arms, she vowed to include their health checks in her plans. Looking back to 2024, Ahn Jae-hyun rated the year “74 out of 100,” saying, “I want to improve by one point every year. I’ll get to 100 eventually.“
