Wife and 1kid. Searching on internet it seems can get 2bhk for 2000-2500$ in Bay area. What will be the sum of other expense like food, car etc. Looking to live frugally atleast for a year. Can it all be done in 4000-5000$
I am paying 2400 for a one bedroom apartment in the peninsula and am living with my wife.
Looking on internet it seems can get 2bhk in Sunnyvale for 2500$
Getting a decent 1B is diffcult for that price.
I pay $12000 a month
Good for you
Hah eBay!
Will you put your kid in daycare? That will be another 2500. And they advertise 2500 for apartment but I would suggest you expect to pay 2800-3000 for a decent place that you feel good in. Will your wife need a car? 5000-5500 is doable and what I pay now.
Kid is 7yr so will go to school no day care. Wife doesn't need a car only after she finds a job. So 5000USD is doable it seems
Do you have at least one car?
2500 is near impossible for a 2bed in a building where you might bring up a child. You can do 1bed or 3500 for a 2bed where you can have a child.
Ok I have no idea yet, been just looking on internet which shows 2bed for 2000-2500 USD not sure if they allow child or not . But as you say 3500 USD should get a decent 2 bed in Sunnyvale right
Not about 'allowing' a child mate. 2500 2bed place will be really flimsy / run down - is what I mean.
There are limits. But 1 bedroom should work if you have only 1 kid
A 1 bedroom anywhere good is going to be 5k+ a month just as a warning. You can certainly do it all but it will likely be a downgrade from your current standard unless you up your budget.
Minimum ~$2900 average for 2bed in Sunnyvale ~$2500 average for 1bed in Sunnyvale School is average $2K if private, else free in public. $1000-$1500 - car, car insurance, other utilities (internet bill, etc), family medical insurance, grocery, etc, etc

Everything seems great with this guy, except basic attraction. What to do? My friends say it’s no big deal
Depends on your lifestyle and spending habits.
Going out twice a month in restaurant with family. No drinking habit etc.
