Can I survive in the Bay on 130 base? Just a single individual with no loans or debt.
Totally
Under the bridge
Of course.
Yes. Not sure which city in bay you are referring but let me give you an estimated breakdown: $2k for studio or shared apartment, $500 for car insurance and gas, $400 for all the utilities, $300 for groceries and eating out isn't easily predicted.
I actually wasn't going to buy a car because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to afford it.
Add another $300 for monthly parking if you do. If you don’t get monthly parking, add another few hundred for window repairs.
TC is what matters not base
Do you really dip into your equity to pay rent and bills? Sounds stupid.
Agree with Ye, also the company is a startup that gives Options so I wouldn't consider that as part of TC.
Don’t buy a car unless you have exhausted all other options! I’ve survived without one and I commute from the city to Palo Alto (commuting via company shuttle or Caltrain). It’s gone great!
If you are single and want to mingle, live in the city to get a sweety
Yes.
