This is a very common question that I get from people thinking about moving to Las Vegas. It is an important one to ask because you want to give yourself some financial cushion when you move to a new place. This is especially true if you do not have employment lined up before you move.
The answer to this question will be different for everyone because people that are moving to Las Vegas come here under many different circumstances. A single person who just completed college will likely need to save a different amount of money in their savings account compared to someone who is 37 years old, married, has three small children that need daycare and is looking to purchase a home in a family friendly neighborhood. Before you make the move, the best way to ask this question is “How many months of expenses do I need to have saved in my account?” This way you can devise a monthly budget that is unique to you.
When I began living in Las Vegas I had enough in my banking account to cover a few months of expenses. I had already paid the deposit and the first month of rent at my place. I also already had a job lined up before I moved to Las Vegas. Even if you have employment in place, I would suggest having several months expenses saved in your budget. If you are going to be moving to Las Vegas without a job in place, then I would suggest saving even more. Six months or more would be preferable.
Just keep in mind that this will depend on each individual scenario and each person’s risk tolerance. If you are young, single, without very many financial obligations, financially responsible and you are willing to take whatever work you can just to get your footing out here, then you can probably take on a higher risk by not having as much money saved. If you have a family you are supporting then your scenario is going to be different.
Write out a monthly budget for where you live now. Then go online and compare the cost of living in Las Vegas to the cost of living to where you live now. Look at apartment rents in Vegas, gas prices, food prices, etc. to see it compares to where you live now. Do you best to estimate how much money you would need to budget each month to cover your monthly costs out here. Work to save at least a few months or more of expenses, and be sure to give yourself some cushion by aiming to save more than you think you will need.

Realistically 3-4K would be good and that’s not counting first month rent, that way u can get a cheap Corolla to drive and find work or better yet, make a trip out to Vegas ahead of time.
TheSwordzman I’m moving there in a month I’m relocating with my job ima have $3,600 I’m single no kids
Have a nice Minivan and 5K Saved and plan to move to Vegas in January. No Job, but no kids or bills, just me. Anyway, I figure I can do Uber....Lyft and Post Mates, to survive, and can always sleep in my van till i get a place.
As a New Yorker I'm used to things being expensive so I figure save up between four and five grand with a job lined up I should be good
+Nyiswhereibelong I guess if there is one "benefit" to coming from a major city like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, etc. is that you are accustomed to a high cost of living. Your perspective of cost of living will be way different when you move here than someone from say, Omaha, Nebraska, who might see the cost of living in Vegas as pretty normal in their eyes.
Throw Chicago in there as well. Vegas is much cheaper in every category than Chicago.
Well if you got more fed gp than Michael Corleone, it either Italy or LV if he wanted to live or they let him live?
@@JacobslifeinVegas very true , im from LA and plan on moving out there in a few months i too am saving up 5,000.00 minimum to move ....
thanks Jacob so I am a single guy with two jobs and I'm planning to go out to las Vegas and I come from a small town in the north east (Michigan) and after watching these videos it makes me want to come more so keep it coming with the videos
+timothy hess You're welcome Timothy! Glad the videos are helping. I'll have plenty more in the future. I think this city gives me enough content to last a lifetime!
Jacob, I'm bored on a rainy/lock down day watching your old vids. Thanks for the content. Keep it up.
You hit right on the head with this one. You'd better save quite a bit before moving here, especially if you have a family. You also have to think about moving expenses if a job relocation doesn't pay for the move. It cost us more than $3000 to have our furniture moved from Indianapolis to Las Vegas. We had a moving company do this for us. It was too hot in July for us to do it ourselves. After doing research, we found that renting a moving van and doing it ourselves really wasn't much cheaper. We've been here for about 6 weeks now and with my wife having a job, we are ok on bills for now. I'm still looking for a job in my chosen field. Take it from me, getting a job won't happen overnight. You definitely have to have a few months worth of money saved and allow yourself some time to find a decent job.
+Richard Muncy Thanks Richard. I'm glad to hear that you and your wife went about doing things the right way. You guys really did your due diligence before you came out here, which is the biggest part. I share as much information as I can with people, but everyone has to do their own homework.
I say a minimal of 6 months
Jacob awesome videos on LV I am planning already on moving there. The $$$ gets more milage. Thank you for all that you do.
You'r'e welcome Paul! Thank you for watching and participating!
Love your videos! Very helpful. I plan to retire in vegas in 3 years. I made a trip last week to look at property in summerlin and henderson.
I’d love to move there for the warm weather and there’s more to do than in Reno. Speedway, theme parks, more ahead with the times.
Lived there and hated it, maybe I lived on the wrong side of town but I would never go back. What a shit hole that place is.
Is Vegas really anal on having a job and pay stubs before getting approved for an apartment? Or do you just need a job period, doesn't matter how long you've been there?
Great video Jacob. Very helpful, thank you. I've been asking myself and trying to figure out how much money I would need to go out there and I figured I would need a few months of expenses saved up. Thanks for helping me out!
You're welcome Juan!
I'm a single, 26m with no kids and plan on moving to Vegas in May of 2019 with $5000 saved. But I also have a few websites that I run that bring in $800 to $1000 a month in passive revenue so I think I'll be good.
Nice - I'm 19 and have an internet business as well.
@@Isaac-ev3nq That is wonderful my bro. Kudos!
That’s really cool man I’m trying to get on your level, teach me please 😂😂
im 26 myself, I’ll have around 6-7k saved up before I move in December. What’s the transition been like so far man?
thanks james
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
+FSIML: Organic Beauty & Natural Skincare with Candace You're welcome!
I have a question for @Jacobslifeinvegas or anyone who can answer this. If i save up 10k and I'm a full time uber/lyft driver and i model as well and i want to move to the villas in green valley Henderson is that good enough or do i need a career?
My situation might be different from others. I own a condo in Seattle and moving to Vegas later this year. I’ll need to have enough money to not only pay for rent in Vegas. I will also need money to pay mortgage for my condo as well. I’m selling the condo but I’ll still be making payments until it gets sold.
My girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Henderson in the very near future! I am currently working for Amazon and I can easily do an internal transfer out there so Henderson definitely feels like the place for us and we're so eager to make it happen soon!
Daniel Reyes hey did you ever get a chance to move to vegas and transfer Amazon?
Are there any videos regarding moving from Canada to LV?? I can't find any info anywhere in regards to how to start :( thank you for your wonderful videos!
Not right now. I will eventually get someone on here to talk about moving from Canada, but I'm not sure when.
JacobslifeinVegas very much appreciated, there's little to no info out there and we're serious about moving. Great informative videos!! Thank you for all your information
I'm looking for the same thing. If you find anything or already have please let me know!
I just came across your channel and this is very helpful information! I've recently decided to move to Vegas and I'm going to work 2 jobs, 1 full time that pays $13 an hour and 1 part time that pays $9 an hour. I am 21 years old and still live at home. I don't have any bills outside of car insurance so saving will be easy for me barring any different circumstance. I'm hoping to have enough to move out by next April. Hypothetically speaking, would that be more than enough to move out?
Is it possible to have a 3 months reasonable lease for a single person? Can you recommend where one can have reasonable rents?
Good information! I’m coming from Atlanta Georgia so this move is perfect not much change economy wise. Weather wise yes😳 I’m going to stand in hot Georgia sun toughen up my skin for Vegas triple digits lol 💕🎥👍🏾
Nice! Welcome to Vegas!
My entire family are planning a move to Las Vegas. We're a very close family so we really didn't want to part and be so far away from each other. So my husband and I, my oldest daughter her husband and their kids and of course my other 2 adult daughters as well. We were planning on doing it by the end of the year Oct-Nov. The plan is for all of us to save money, when we have a nice amount saved between all of us then we would find a place to live and have jobs lined up before actually moving there. We're planning on living together for the first year while we settle in, work and get more money saved up. After the first year everyone will be moving out into their own places. So this is all new to us and hopefully this is a good plan. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. :-)
I think it's great that your family is very much on the same page about moving to Vegas. Everyone living together that first year is going to be an adjustment for everyone. It sounds like your family has a great plan put together to give everyone the best chance to succeed. Great job Renee!
JacobslifeinVegas thanks for the reply back I really appreciate it. Your videos are extremely helpful. So happy I found you.
Amen. Another budgeting factor for when I move there, is that I want a place that will be 100% mine. No room mates, house mates, none of that, just me. Still in the process of saving, getting closer to the goal
Glad to hear you're making progress johnny and glad the video is helpful
I live in Tijuana (and work full time in san diego). Single, no kids. Ton of savings cause it's easy to do so here. I wonder if I'll be okay in Vegas.
I've heard that's pretty common to do. Do you file taxes in both countries?
Rents seem to be higher but I'm older kids grown up just me.
im 33 single no kids ...las vegas its my place...
lol
JacobslifeinVegas 🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰🎰👌👌👌👌👌👌

My family is planning on buying a place there. Still want a clear picture of how much my property tax and vehicle tax would be. Can you pls help. Thanks
Hello Mr. Jacobs.. my name is Mr. Hill.. I use to live in Las Vegas early in the new millennium.. NOW live in Florida but want to move back Vegas again in hopefully in a year or two. I am on disability and also receive SSI. I have heard the housing cost maybe a little higher than where I am now.. I was told that the Houses are cheaper than the apartments.. IS THIS TRUE?? like you say "have your ducks in a row" So what is the difference (in price) between a house and apt. @ las Vegas. I wanna know like you say I need to know my limitations before moving there. I am not very outgoing because of my illness but I DO want to live in QUITE NEIGHBORHOODS where not much noisy. Thanks for reading this from me hope to here from AND see you soon :')
I am coming from the DC/ Maryland area we call it the DMV. I plan on attending some job fairs this summer to gain some sort of employment. What do you know about the job fairs that are held please advise thank you.
Andre Banker how is it going I’m LV I wanna love there ASAP ?
im on disability but wanting to start a new life and want to come there for work wondering if my disability would help me for a little bit of time
my husband and I are thinking of moving to Henderson with our three kids. I'm a medical assistant with lots of experience. so I'm not worried about finding work but I am for my husband. how is employment there? is it hard to find a job? or is it easier with all the hotels and restaurants? can I do a video on jobs? and schools? that would be super helpful.
Hi Jacob. Can you name a few cities that are affordable and I can raise kids
Hey! I've done several videos on good neighborhoods here on the channel, including good ones for families
vegas is soo much cheaper and nicer then seattle. cant wait to leave this overcast shithole in 2017! vegas here i come!
truth betold same shit in miami fl ...expensive as fuck and the salary its shit... moving also to las vegas
truth betold if u think Seattle is overcast come to London
I live south of St Louis. And people are so damn dumb and judgemental
I live in Austin and Austin has become a complete shit show in recent years. It feels so uninspiring to stay here.
Dude I live in Seattle too and have been saying the same thing LOL. Seattle is one of the worst cities to live in.
Where you working now
