Single women in mid 30s with average salary in LA how do you survive? COL is high and I feel like Im living paycheck to paycheck. When I look at my married/partnered friends who may not be working high paying jobs either, they are still doing much better than me because they are dual income. Any suggestions from single women out there?

If lucky, a good deal or rent controlled apartment. Avoid trying to keep with up with other people in terms of lifestyle. Go on dates for the occasional free meal.

I’m curious. Why is this specific to women? Are their costs materially higher than men’s?

Tell me if you find out, I make way above an average salary and pretty much feel like I’m living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t know how it’s possible with less
