How much do have to earn to live in/near menlo park if you are the sole provider of a family of 3 and want: (a) to have a <10 min commute (b) to live in >1.5k square feet (c) to live in a fun/safe and quiet neighborhood with a good wakability score Thanks!
Probably like 50K. As a grad student I lived near Menlo on like 30K/yr and still managed to save and give to charity. A few more mouths to feed is probably 10K/yr per head.
Lol nah. Unless you lived at home with your parents.
To rent a decent two bed apartment around Menlo Park or Palo Alto you are looking at 4 to 5k .. YMMV for all other expenses.. You can calculate based on that
Median household income in MP is $132,928 (2017 data) so this is how much you need to live like an average Joe... 50K with family - not really... With roommates on ramen noodle diet - maybe.
Atleast 450k... atleast
