I lived in SF pretty comfortably at $70K. Ignore the exaggerated estimates.
As long as you take home around 4-5k a month you’ll be fine. And there’s a lot of room to work within that budget.
Rent - ~2200 for a studio (can reduce to 1500 if sharing)
Car / transportation: ~800 (can be creative with this too)
Food: ~1k (travel a lot and cook at home to bring this down)
All up to you and what your priorities are on saving, loans etc. So yeah 70-85k can be manageable.
WTF SC1 ... Does your lifestyle include the occasional designer drug?!
My definition of comfortable has changed significantly since I was in my 20’s and not coincidentally in correlation with my income. Started out comfortable at $50k living in Manhattan, now can’t imagine living on less than $200k (slight exaggeration, I’m sure I’d survive but...ugh) Just like how the stuff you own expands to fill your apartment, your lifestyle expands to fill your income. Just live within your means and you’ll figure it out
Depends on how you define comfortable. To have your own place and not a shite tier commute, I'd say at least 100-150k. At least.
1. Open up excel 2. Create a budget 3. You tell us how much for you
D1 - where do you live? I'm thinking of moving to south SF for a job.
D1 I left SF last fall, but I was in Mission/Bernal Heights. Shared a pretty decent 2 bedroom with another guy and paid under $1500/mth
If you’re crushing it at the klerbs you need to make $150k. If you don’t go to the klerbs, <$70k should suffice.

I need about 275-300k to maintain my lifestyle in san fran. That's based on using housing as a proxy
