Anyone here from California?

Well, I am getting flown out for an interview for my dream job. I'll start at 60k if I get it, and after 3 years 150k, and after 6 years 300k. And that is guaranteed. So, I was wondering if anyone here lived there, and could tell me whether or not 80k is enough for a couple to live off in California. We'd be moving to long beach.

I think you could manage off that, though it wouldn't take you as far as the same amount of money in another state. You might have to live in an apartment.

I don't know, try going into the suburbs. POL is a bitch out their. My uncle lives out their and makes around 150 k a year and his house cost 2x or even 3x the price of my parents house, which is probably twice as big.
Good luck on your job.

80k is enough of an income, but it's lower middle class here.
The combined income of my parents is 70k, and they're always having to worry about making ends meet.

80k for 2 people might be a little rough. That's what I make and i'm single right now. Just be careful with your money and you will be fine.

It's been proposed that the minimum wage be raised, but it has to be voted into effect. And even if they did raise it, it would be over the course of 2 years, not immediately.

but still, they finnally realized 6.75 is totally not enough money.

True, but by 2 years from now I would hopefully have moved on to a job that pays better than minimum wage, so it's too late for me to benefit.

I'd be looking at coins for a living. Guaranteed salary, so I'm not too worried. I'll be making 35/hr.

It is impossible to live here on min wage. Anything under $13.00 a hour is a struggle. It's worth it though I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
