Dood 80k a year is definetly possible. Especially if you mvoe to the suburbs. In long beach there is a lot of area to live on that and still be rather comfortable.

eheheahaha!!

i guess it depends on where you go... ive been downtown long beach at around midnight and 1am. first time cause i got lost on a midnight drive, another time i forget how i ened up there... lol. but it was not the place to go at night.

during the day i went cuase they got a nice aquarium thingy, pretty big, but even in the day downtown was not the best of places... lol (im so glad i chose my community college and not the lb community college...)


but suburbs is probably a different story so dont worry


and  yea yesterday i logged off at seven, then actually stayd awake another hour. and the nslept for 12 hours...
hehe, i didnt go to bed thursday night, and then friday morning i went surfing... so i was pretty pooped  :tongue:

I definitely would avoid the city, and live in the suburbs, but if it's cheaper to live in the suburbs, why wouldn't it be more crappy? Or is it more expensive to live in the suburbs?

i doubt it
its just most poor people cant go all out and buy a house or whatever, so they are stuck with high rent cause they can only pay monthly or whatever.. (did i make any sense?? i knwo what im sayin but have troubles explaining sometimes..)
although the houses that were right next to downtown werent so nice, but i guess that would still be considered "in the city" sicne its so close (california cities man... for real...)

so yea, suburbs are cool

and i mean, don't rely on the 'suburbs are fine' thing either...

'downtown' l.a. and long beach are more or less just skid row, lots of homeless trash, alcoholics, purse snatchers, etc... the real gangstas and the real crime takes place in the 'suburbs' (minus south central)

compton is a 'suburb'
watts is a 'suburb'
christ, i live in a 'suburb' and i hear gun shots at least once a week, i can get any drug i want if i walk 2 blocks, particularly crack and tar

you really just need to scope the area and get a feel for it and judge whether or not you would be able to handle living there.

most of those suburbs should be obvious though the moment you step into one ort even near one... those are the suburbs where every car has a flat tire, there are blacks hangin on the curb everywhere (mexican hoods are alright), loud bass but you dont know where its coming from, junkies stumbling across the street, shoes hangin from electricity/phone lines... etc etc. i wouldnt call those suburbs... lol, i call em "hoodz"  :tongue:

maybe its just where youre at man, but those arent very common where im at... go a lil south of lbc and it should all be daisy :thumbup:

In the Bay Area you can live in an apartment, make 24K a year being that you don't get taxed much in that income bracket and live. I mean you have a cheap studio or apartment and aren't living in SF but your living fine. You can rent a room in a 4-5 bedroom house in the Bay Area for only $500 and live with other professional business people that work 9-5. That is even cheaper then a studio apartment or a duplex. My friends have cute 2 bedroom duplex for $1,200 a month. Man if your rent is $500, you need $300 a month for food, $200 for transportation, and then $150 for cable and internet that is only $1,150 a month that you need. That is only $13,800 you need after taxes. Granted some people live in a nice apartment that costs $1,400 a month but that is your choice to waste money and not shop around for a cool place that is older, cute and groovy. My place is $850 a month and is a huge older apartment. Everyone else that lives in this converted house/apartments pays highest $1,000 to the lowest of $700. An apartment for $700, that is dirt in the Bay man.

If there was such a thing as street knowledge IQ, I'd be about a zero. Seriously. I grew up in a very wealthy area, and within 2 days from moving out, I was robbed for lots of money, had everything I owned stolen, had a friend kidnapped, and it just fucking sucked. :frown:
