The key here is that she’s willing to leave LA. Most of the young people in her position don’t want to leave LA. She should either stay put, or move to a cheaper area. You can’t even find a studio in the slums of Hollywood for $1350. I wouldn’t advise her to come to northern CA either, it’s expensive here too.
If you work remotely and can work anywhere, go somewhere cheaper or don't complain about the costs. I like she said she's willing to relocate - and she should.
Hi Mike: Yes, I like that remote idea, myself, no matter what Dave says, that way you can work any hours day or night, and go to school, if one chooses which I'm doing. Save on gas, traffic, yes. Well, it's all up to the individual, but we do have choses now. But, call me crazy, I love L.A. and the people and the climate is wonderful, money, I will adjust.
@noazucar I mean everyone's situation is different....she says she's ready to move so. In all honestly she probably will end up in AZ at least for awhile since visiting is only a hope and a skip
1350 in LA ain't happening without roommates. No way. She's going to be disappointed when she digs into the research. She needs to move out of state for a few years
@@terminaterjohn true. but i think her income can go up pretty fast shes only 25 and making 65k. People learn sooo much from the age of 25 to their 30s and incomes typically rise really fast during this age range given shes got that great start at only 25. Plus maybe shell find a great partner and they can combine incomes.
@@donaldlyons17 that's true but in general don't people's salaries increase past the age of 25? It's not a sure thing but don't most people's? I hope hers does but ur right no way to know for sure
1bd might be like $1,800 but she can get a roommate and a 2bd for like $2,300 to save money. She might as well get a mini fridge and a camping cooktop and stack up cash for a purchase outside CA.
Ok Dave and Ken. I have worked for the same company for almost 20 rears. 15 of which have been from home. I have worked with a lot of great people made a lot of connections. I have never met most of the people I work with in person. It hasn't held me back.
She kinda sounds like me when I started out 20 years ago almost. I rented a room, in LA, and saved a ton of money. I invested a ton and put myself in a much better position and moved to a LCOL city later on. I did make more than her but the strategy would be similar.
Not anymore buddy. You’d be buying in the ghetto if you go that route. I got to see idiots buy up houses over 500k to live in casa Blanca.. lol who would do such a Thing. Really want to drive by and see the idiots who did it.
Re: work from home and promotions. It really depends. I work for a company with only about 100 people who are all working at least hybrid (so no one really forgets anyone else), and the career track and timing of promotions in my field is more based on time spent doing it, not anything else
Im planning on mov8ng out if my parents this summer. For christmas i asked for any houseware i could think of that i could reasonably store in my parents home untill its time to move. So i have a furnishings from my bedroom im taking woth me, plus any kitchenware id need. So all i have to do is furnish a living room, dining room and bathroom
She needs to move to Salt Lake, keep this gig, study the security field as Ken suggested and sell pest control during the summers. Easy flights to LAX.
Several cities offering $$ to remote workers to move there for a year. This girl could also go live super cheap in Mexico or Costa Rica (keep grandparents house as domicile-just physically move ) as long as she made sure to have good WiFi.
Stay with the grandparents as long as you can and save up cash or leave commiefornia not that houses are down to earth anywhere else compared to the wages people are paid.
Rents have gone up in affordable places over the past year, $1350 is common, I know someone who was paying $900 and it increased to $1300 overnight. This was once a more reasonable area.
I mean, she's probably bringing in 50ish thousand a year after taxes, which is like 4300 per month. My job involves looking at rental rates all across the country and it isn't outlandish for her to stay in LA. She can get a nice place for 2k a month and still have twice that to play around with since she has no debt. Doesn't need to move to a cheaper area yet if she doesn't want to
It's a great thing that she's out of debt, but with what she's making then investing in real estate right now would totally take a toll on her income. Agree on going somewhere where her salary will go a long way in the meantime.
@@kpsalm check it out. There are several states, counties and towns that pay you to live there. Check out the world according to Briggs also on youtube.
Dude go to Maine or New Hampshire. Americas best kept secret. Hardly any homeless, it’s clean, hardly any traffic, very nature driven and no illegal immigrants crowding the place up.
I’m happy to see someone more realistic to my annual income. I make around 60k in Chicago and want to get a 2Bd Rm. I’m 25 as well!! THANKS FOR THIS!
Your 60K goes much farther in the Midwest than LA.
@@ClaxtonBay123 yes it does!! Thankfully.
$65k in LA? $350/mo? Stay put.
Nah aint nothing like your own place
@@blazinjaye45 it is her own place. She just rents it from family.
Literally don’t move a muscle
$1350 for a 1 bedroom in LA? lol. More like $2350 now.

I like the idea of a hotplate and small fridge and staying put.
and then pricing herself out for the future....unless she is inheriting that home not a good idea
Riverside is way cheaper than LA. Northern California has some of the most expensive real estate in the country
I live in Richmond CA some apartments are going for 4k + a month.
Depends what parts. Sacramento and surrounding areas are a lot cheaper than L. A.
$1350 in LA, thats gonna be hard to find!! But truthfully, I think her income is going to go up faster than she is expecting it to.
ya , not sure what world she is living in. $1350 to live in LA is either a really really bad apartment or living with someone.

@@imveryhungry112 No,you can't assume that for all jobs. Some you peak early. Jobs don't magically work like that.
Pay to install a kitchen in the in-law suite and sign a 10 year lease for $350/month ( current rent) and be rich
Our team is 100% remote. We get noticed all the time. Just got a cash bonus and a raise.
first person to call in making under 400K a year
Nope
Most callers are making under 400K a year. Very few callers make the Highlights channel.

Bakersfield is about an hour north, maybe 1.5 hours of LA proper. Way cheaper. She could visit the family and live WAY cheaper...
I hope she sees this comment, great vibes!
Of course Riverside is cheaper than LA. Dave doesn’t know.
Yeah lol it’s basically the same just longer drive
Wayyy cheaper. Dave just hates CA

I’m making 130k this year living in LA county and I feel like I’m broke. I have a one bedroom for 2100/month. No chance of getting a home lol
Where is your remaining 8k going each month??

Don't do it! Stay there as long as possible. Who cares about a kitchen.
With a kitchen she can have guests over for lunch, bring dates back to her place without embarrassment, and feel more successful and adult 🤷🏻♀️
She's 25. She wants to start her own life and have some freedom and independence already. There's more to life than just saving money.
@@MichaelAnderson-wk1no What she's paying, I think they would understand.
With the money she’s making, she can build a kitchenette! Stay with your grandparents for as long as possible!
She think she can get an apartment for 1.3k?
Get an electric hot plate and a fridge. And stay at your grandparents.
Hi Jimmy
Yup, this way she can save up a good chunk of money. Plus, her grandparents might just need her around as well.
Move towards the east coast. In South Carolina you can get a place for $725 a month
I live indiana where you used to find prices like that now its 1200 a month crazy
I’m in South Carolina and $725 a month is unheard of lol, I don’t know if you just heard that or actually live here
For what costs $1350 in LA, you can get for $725 in SC.
I’m in SC try at least $1,200 for a decent place
@@jessielewis8745 Upstate I was paying 600 1BD all inclusive
You can try outside areas like Palmdale. Shop around.
She needs to move to Salt Lake, keep this gig, study the security field as Ken suggested and sell pest control during the summers. Easy flights to LAX.
Yes! Chase that pest control paper! Scrooge McDuck bags of money in that lol
I probably wouldn’t move and just stack up cash as long as possible. I agree with the people saying buy a hot plate and a fridge
Dave: "You won't see the inside of a kitchen unless you work there"
Inside of a "restaurant" 😆
😆😂
Move to Boise, ID or Cheyenne, WY. $60k will feel like $160k. Get out of California.
The weather though is what keeps me from going there
@@ColdSprite then Columbia, SC. Cheap
Several cities offering $$ to remote workers to move there for a year. This girl could also go live super cheap in Mexico or Costa Rica (keep grandparents house as domicile-just physically move ) as long as she made sure to have good WiFi.
Ask Gran if you can prep meals in her kitchen. Stay put & save. Another 2 - 3 years. Settle into that new job for at least one year.
You can move to Palmdale like others that can't afford LA.
Im in Palmdale, not as expensive as LA but its still up there. House prices have skyrocketed.
Yeah or surrounding like Lancaster or Quart Hill
I wish she can borrow me her grandparents and let me pay that much for 1yr.😪
What does Dave think happens when people work remote? I actually get more FaceTime with my direct managers than pre-pandemic m.
Being humble is beautiful though. Save your money!
Stay with the grandparents as long as you can and save up cash or leave commiefornia not that houses are down to earth anywhere else compared to the wages people are paid.
Many would think 65k is good enough for a single person to afford place to live.. but it's not. 1990 yes but 2023 might as well live under a bridge
Rents have gone up in affordable places over the past year, $1350 is common, I know someone who was paying $900 and it increased to $1300 overnight. This was once a more reasonable area.
I would definitely move to a cheeper state
You want a more affordable place?
You're in the wrong state🙃
California...Squatting is both cheap and exciting. PLUS, California sees it as a property crime and won't send the cops in for eviction.

almost 50% of your income should not go to rent if you have a say. That’s irresponsible advice
60k is the combined income of most married couples.
Move to Fresnasty!
She will be moving to the city where corporate is located to sit in a cube.
Not happening. 🤣🤣🤣
Fine with me! I’d rather WFH than get promoted😂
Necessity is the mother of invention…. Move out!
It's a great thing that she's out of debt, but with what she's making then investing in real estate right now would totally take a toll on her income. Agree on going somewhere where her salary will go a long way in the meantime.
Where in Cali can she rent for $1350?
Absolutely nowhere lol
Tulsa Oklahoma will pay you $25k to move there
No way?
@@kpsalm check it out. There are several states, counties and towns that pay you to live there. Check out the world according to Briggs also on youtube.
Rice and beans beans and rice
Umm. she lives in CA, she can get a shed for 65K...
Dave never lets Ken talk. What's up with that??
Stay where you are and wait till you get married. Hopefully with someone that makes the same or more, or at least has a job.
What if she doesn’t get married though? It’s not so easy to meet people nowadays and some men don’t even want to marry.
Why aim for a promotion when you get more work for no pay? lol. Create your own future. Best way to work is eventually for yourself.
I don't understand single 25 year olds who want to purchase homes.
Get a second remote job - that will be more money than a promotion 😉
Dude go to Maine or New Hampshire. Americas best kept secret. Hardly any homeless, it’s clean, hardly any traffic, very nature driven and no illegal immigrants crowding the place up.
Commute from 60 miles away from the city....
You don't get L.A. 🤣 And, try listening being that she works from home. 🤣
