<prompt> Human: TO CLARIFY: I dont plan on finding an apartment in LA for 1,400 a month. My roommate and I plan on spending 2,800 a month on a 2 bedroom apartment. 1,400 will be my portion, more or less.x200B;Hi all, I plan on moving to LA very soon with a very close friend of mine who I will be rooming with and my dog.I make 70k gross, and assuming 30 to go to taxes, have a monthly budget as follows: Income after taxes: 4,000 Rent: -1,400 UtilitiesCableRenters Insurance: -175 Health and Car Insurance: -200 401k: -250 Gym: -60 Fuel: -200The above leaves me with about 1,700 for food, savings, etc. I use YNAB and using a loose number for casual spending estimate 500 a month on various bs restaurants, clothes, etc, although this will likely be much less. Restaurants: 150 Groceries: 400 Dog: 200 food50 a month. remainder left over wuld be saved through the year for vet visits typically 2 a year ClothesGeneral Spending: 200Whats left about 700 a month would go towards my IRA, brokerage, etc savings.No student loans, or any loansdebtcredit card balances.Any holes in my plan? I feel pretty good about my estimated spending and expect quick increases in salary over time. Currently I contribute 6 to my roth 401k but max out my IRA each year.Im a CPA so the raises in public accounting are pretty standard, and would expect a decent boost whenif I change jobs.Assistant: where are you finding a place in LA for 1,400? lolHuman: Thats what i was thinkingAssistant: Theres no reason you cant share an apartment for 1400 each. Human: Are you from the area? My roomate will work in the Woodland Hills area and I anticipate working in DTLA.North Hollywood seems like a good spot in between the two areas for the both of us.Are you saying there are two bedroom apartments for 1,400 in LA?  <response>: Your budget is fine for NoHo. I pay 2,200 in Pasadena for a 2 bedroom condo. Youll have no problem finding a 2 bedroom apartment in NoHo for 2,800. Good luck with the move. LA is expensive but its definitely manageable at 70k especially with a roommate. I make it work on 50k and have a roommate and live in North LA.
