<prompt> Human: Im currently in FL. Im making 48700 without counting any bonuses. My job gives me the flexibility to move to a different city and work remotely, so Ive been considering options on other places to live. Ive been interested in California but Ive also heard about how expensive the COL is, especially housing. I had to move away from downtown here because its 1500 - 2000 per month for a 11, which would be a bargain in California. Is my salary too low to support me? I live pretty well for a single person in FL and I understand Ill need to sacrifice some comforts for the location. EDIT: Ill specify i was interested in Fresno and SoCalAssistant: Depends on where you want to live and what your other bills are.I live in East Bay Area and make roughly the same as you. I live in a studio apartment with my girlfriend and our total rent is 1,605. Luckily i was in the military so no student loan debt and i pay my credit card every month.Its definitely feasible, but it will depend on your lifestyle. If yoi like going out and grabbing drinks every weekend and eating lunch out everyday, it will get very expensive very quickly. Human: Id be okay living anywhere in the SoCal region thats most affordable. Do you need a car in San Fransisco?  <response>: 48kyear is pennies in SF. Dont even think about it.
