Single in SF Bay

Published

Is living alone and working in the San Francisco bay area doable, financially speaking? Not just doable but comfortable?? I'm a traveler but want to settle down around here eventually, which means I'll be paying for my own housing once again. I'd be renting a 1 bedroom, probably in the East bay area, ie, Oakland, Lafayette, etc.

As a nurse, you'd be fine. I live in the East Bay, and some of the nurses at my hospital live in the Lafayette area. They make around 54$ an hout on average, and 1bd apartments there are around 1000-1400$.

I heard starting pay is around $50/hour, is this true?

In San Diego, the hospital by me is about 33-36$ starting I think.
