  1. Here's a quick summary:

    To live alone comfortably in California, you generally need around $80,000 per year.

    Costs vary by city:

    San Francisco: about $120,000/year

    Los Angeles: about $104,000/year

    More affordable cities like Bakersfield or Fresno: about $89,000/year

    Monthly expenses include rent ($2,400–$3,500+), utilities, groceries, transportation, and personal spending.

    California’s minimum wage (~$15.50/hour) is often not enough to cover living alone comfortably.

    Location and lifestyle greatly affect how much you’ll actually need.
