<prompt> Human: So I am 23 years old and I am in a position in my life where I have an opportunity to move out to California to join a start up dispensary. Some 1 friends are going to buy out current storefronts in the area and I was offered a 6 month contract with a guaranteed 2400 a month after taxes so roughly 600 a week. My girlfriend and I are both employed down here in southflorida with me working 40 hours a week 12.50 an hour and her working about 25 13.00 altogether we currently make around 2800 a month. We are both in a position where we have no debt or leases holding us back and about 5000-6000 dollars saved up for a move. We each have cars my 94 accord and her 06 focus and would want to take those with us along with that our 2 cats that would come with. I was thinking that if we move over there we would buy a new bed a small desk for my pic and a small couch, the rest we can fit in our cars. But my big question for you guys is do you think I would be able to swing being able to live in San Diego comfortably with a 2400 dollar monthly salary? My gf would be working as well but it would be about a month before she finds anything guaranteed. We were looking at around 1200-1500 in rent somewhere near the city but not right inside and I believe our monthly grocery cost would be about 400 and our bills phones utilities and Internet would come out to be about 350 a month. I guess what Im trying to ask with these numbers is it worth me making the move and going somewhere different in life? Should I try and figure out a way to make more by maybe taking a second job for 15 hours a week? I have looked up the cost of living and I see that is high but so was boca raton. Any opinions thoughts or anything are greatly welcome. I will be having to make the final decision in about 5 days and again any advice is welcome, if there is more you guys want me to add just ask and I will answer to the best of my abilities Edit: I will be shipping my Honda for 1200 and will be driving with my gf to Cali in her ford  <response>: Yeah youll be fine! There are some cool parts of the city youll love. You wont be living in Point Loma or La Jolla, but theres tons of inexpensive housing for young people. Check out North Park, South Park, Normal Heights, and you might be able to find something down in Pacific Beach or Ocean Beach.
