Is it possible to live on 44k a year in LA? (The LA THREAD!...City Living, Girls and Social Scene).

[humblemelord]

Just got a job after 4 months after graduating college. The company will be paying me 44k a year. I am extremely excited. I want to save up for 4 months at home and move out. I am thinking somewhere close to downtown Long Beach close enough to the bar scene. Any advice?

What did you get a job in?

First advice is spelled with a c lol but forreal that's more then enough to have a apt and car as long as you budget your money correctly.

I have friends out there, they made some calls, it helps to have ears to the street. Don't think you're gonna get a "bachelor pad" for $550 a month, I was going there for work, $3300 for 6 months...Hostel like joint, private bathroom and shower for $150 more. The job fell through and it was just too long away from my family.
