Currently I live in Madison Wisconsin. I am thinking of relocating to one of the following areas: Rockridge/Berkeley/Piedmont (or Lake Merritt). I would WORK in San Fran in the I.T. industry, but live in the aforementioned area.
Currenly I make about $38k/year in Madison.
My rent is $500/month for a studio
My car payment is $350/month.
(plus some other small bills and living expenses - cable, internet, etc).
I do really well on this wage in Madison. By the time I relocate to East Bay, my car will be paid off, freeing up the $350/month.
I plan to find a bigger studio apartment in one of these areas and continue working in I.T. in San Fran.
Can someone tell me how the 2 wages would compare, and if I would be able to afford what I am planning to do? Keep in mind that I will have an extra $350/month to spend by the time I'm there.
Is my plan feasible?
