How much money should i save to move out to L.A.? I wil be 22 next year any advice?

The average salary in Los Angeles, CA is $54,000 enough to afford a condo, car and other expenses. But you could probably get by with making $40,000 a year with an apartment and used car. A roomate would definitely free you up financially. If you plan on moving out here you must first secure a job that pays at least $35,000-40,000 or else you'll be struggling. To get an apartment, you need to save up at least $15,000-$20,000 rent for apartments average around $1200 a month. I think the best plan for you right now is to save up money for about 2-3 years before you decide to move out.How much money should i save to move out to L.A.? I wil be 22 next year any advice?
That depends on several things





1. Are you driving or flying out? You will need to figure in the cost of the flight / gas money and funds for food and lodging.





2. Are you bringing furniture? Are you going to have to pay for movers?





3. Do you have a place to stay when you reach LA? Or are you going to have to stay in a motel till you find an apartment?





4. Do you have a source of income? Like a sure fire job waiting for you or are you going to have to look for employment?








I don't think anyone can give you an accurate figure.


It all depends on how you answered those questions, or similar ones

You will need somewhere in the $10,000-$15,000 range to sucessfully move here and to survive for about 2 months. You will be coming to one of the most expensive places in the country. If your budget allows I would STRONGLY urge you to come visit for a few days before moving here sight unseen. What if you move here and decide you hate this place?





Please don't say you're coming here to become an actress.
Depends..Can you expand. Where are you going like what state?


Do you have a lot of furniture? Will you be moving yourself or hiring movers? Then, are you going to buy or rent?





If you can answer these ?'s..I can give you a good estimate.
I'd save everything possible, since the cost of living out there is so much.
If you want a 1-bedroom apartment, count on $1500 a month for rent. Studio or shared will be cheaper.
