I Could Save How Much? You’ve Got To Be $hitting Me!

Over at My Two Dollars, there was a little piece on how much ones salary can go if you lived in another city. Me, wanting to eventually move out of sunny Southern California, was itching to see how much of a difference it really could be living in another city – and how much I could save. Southern California, especially Orange County, is not a cheap place to live. We have a newly renovated 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment that we pay $1340.00 a month for. And when we get a dog, add $50.00 a month to that plus the $500.00 pet deposit. Yeah.

Utilities will cost: 80% more

Transportation will cost: 5% less

Healthcare will cost: 17% more

Groceries will cost: 7% less

Housing will cost: 53% less

Utilities will cost: 7% more
