def speaking the truth, im 20 living with my parents. Rent is stupid especially if you live to the beach (live about 10min away). The gas is about 3.60 atm
The houses in the Inland Empire/San Fernando Valley are a lot cheaper, but its way too hot out there. And its pretty boring.

--QFT. I made $32,000 in 2010 and on the verge of living check to check still.
--Saw the gas prices at Chevron last night...$4.01 for Premium.
--The only perk right now is the weather.
--I live in San Diego.

Thinking about it as well man., I swear the energy I feel in Cali just makes me feel like I am in a whole different country. I mean well it is Little Mexico to be technical.

cost of living is not cheap in the bay area but if you can manage, the weather and nightlife is nice depending on where you at

CA is an expensive place to live. I'd imagine it'd be hard for a single dude living off 40k...much less 30k....
Don't get blinded by the hype and end up going there thinking you'll be Vinny Chase....

Before you try to move to Cali, I'd suggest checking out a cost of living comparison calculator (not that they're 100% accurate, but at least they'll give you a ballpark figure)
For example, if you made 32K while living in Jacksonville then you will need to make about 47K to maintain a similar lifestyle in Los Angeles. As been stated already in this thread, most of your monthly expenses will come from housing...expect to pay at least a grand if you want to find someplace decent (not in the hood).
Bottom line it all depends on what's important to you...Cost of living here is high, but the weather is great and there's always something to do. I'd gladly pay the extra money towards the cost of living to get away my the cold, boring winters of my old hometown (Michigan). I moved to Cali 7 years ago and haven't looked back...well besides missing family and friends.
at some of the advice given here. I remember back before I moved I posted a thread on NT asking the same question...got a pm from Ska with a lot of good info that helped me make my final decision. Only fitting that I return the favor...
