<prompt> Human: age: 32salary: 80kLive in Los AngelesSavings: 50kIm in a very terrible situation where I dont make enough to rent a decent place and I obviously dont make enough to afford a home. Im single and still live at home at the age of 32. Its getting to the point where I cannot take it anymore. My dating life is non existent and Im tired of living in a tiny room in my parents house in my 30s. Ive never moved out and its time. Problem is, I work in an expensive area and the decent places there are 2,500 a month. I looked at something cheaper but it was 1,800 and a terrible place to live. I dont want to move too far from my job because I feel it would be pointless, Id might as well live at home.What can I do? Should I bite the bullet and pay 3k in rent a month? I also dont have the option of roommating with anyone and I dont want to roommate with anyone I dont personally know.  <response>: There is no place you cant find a crappy 1 bedroom for less than 2000 in LA. If you are making 80k and budgeting so poorly that you cant afford a 2000 place you have bigger problems. I commute from Glendale, despite popular opinion of west side lifers, you dont need a passport to live on the other side of the 405.
