<prompt> Human: First-time poster, sorry if these types of posts get repetitive. I graduated college about two weeks ago and I have a job lined up in SF that starts in August. Its 38k before taxes. Theres also an opportunity for a raise at 6 months and one year, plus some overtime. I have about 18k in student loans and roughly 3k in savings. I also have a roommate and we are comfortable sharing a studioone bedroom weve shared before. Ive been looking through PF and Craigslist and I definitely understand that San Francisco is really hard to live in. However, Id like to get feedback on my particular situation and whether Im making a big mistake in hoping to live in the city. How crazy am I? Is this living situation feasible for a 22 year old female with dreams of living the city life?  <response>: ... and I cautioned any of my tech friends for moving to SF for offers 65K...Like the others mentioned, its about responsibly budgeting less than 30 of your take home to rent which wont amount to much without a possible roommates and knowing how to control your other expenses. Anything is possible, just a matter of controlling your expectations.
