How Much Money You Need to Live Comfortably in the 50 Biggest Cities

Let me explain for you niggas not in the Bay Area. Average rent in SF is 3400 for a one bedroom and 2000 per kid for day care. Median home price in SF is 1 million for a POS old ass house bordering in the hood. Oakland average rent is now 2600 for a 1 bedroom thanks to SF pushing people out over here. Home price is pushing 800k . We pay 1800 for daycare of two kids. You telling me having a family don't mean much here? Foh. Groceries alone for a family of 4 runs damn near 300 per week.
 
All I said was you don't need to double your income to have kids, y'all want to make it seem like you need a second job just to have a kid.
I did over well 6 and thinking about driving for Uber lol

When the wife came off the job we lost 75k that shit really hurt... I may have to move to another city

Cacs riding their bikes through the lower bottoms is disturbing. Them opening that sprouts on Broadway tells you all you need to know. Next up tear down the Acorn projects and build a whole foods. East Oakland on the other hand is far too big and hood for them hoe ass cacs.

North Oakland has that hood on the Berkeley border but all that is about to turn to "Rockridge"
 
That nigga Flawless aint got no kids. And if he does, nigga getting stamps, WIC, and a check talking the way he is :lol:

Like I said Flaw, you single, your living space is smaller and cheaper. You spend less on all the bills period with no family.
Hes a homo who spends his minimum wage checks on sneakers. U gotta actually get pussy to get kids.

Already renamed... lower hills/lower temascal
 
Damn that Baltimore number you living close to these guys...

640x360
 
What's even more eye opening is tat 100k is what it used to be. You need 120k and above in certain areas.


Yup. Interesting discussions about minimum wage rates too in various provinces and states. Here in B.C. minimum wage is around $10.25 - 10.50 or so. Some other parts of North America are talking about $15 min' wage, etc. Hell, 20 years ago it was $7 - 7.50 here ... so it's only gone up $3 per hour over the course of 2 decades. That's pretty eye-opening.
 
Can be done easily
Breh..I ain't got no people's out there..but alot of LA folks is moving out there and the south. this gentrification in LA is no joke..they fixing up the hood and white people are moving in. Jobs are looking scarced and seems like it's about to be survival mode. Should blacks move back to the south?

THIS is what happens when you own nothing and depend on others for just about everything.

Sounds like you're describing Washington D.C. Damn near everything near a metro station is a high rise building that didn't exist 5/10/15 years ago. Even damn U street I'm like "Where the fuck all these white folks come from?". Even parts of S.E. you got hoods beside new townhouse they'll never be able to afford.
 
What about Houston?
Really depends on how u spend and budget.
Try to live beyond your means and u will be fucked.
You'd be surprised how much u can save by using public transportation.
That's why I can't wait til my son graduates next month.
I won't have to drive him across town to take him to school every morning no more.
And I can start back riding the bus to work. That's gonna save me $400 a month in gas alone.

Construction is booming in every major city right now

This is chelsea though so its a bit skewed

A single black man in Houston with a decent job and his own place will live like a king. I've met a few folks from out in LA who moved to Houston and they all like iy except for the summer weather :lol:.
