Very useful. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for getting to the point!! Great vid
Quite insightful - thanks for sharing.
Great info. I get this question all the time
Thanks. The cost is changing as well. For example, the gas has reached more than $5 per gallon at Bay Area.
@@fgsfrancisalmost $6 here in Tracy
Great video. I really like that you mentioned that you have 2 kids. I also have 2 kids and a wife and it’s hard to find info about ppl moving to the bay in the same family situation. Would love to hear more about raising a family in the bay
Thanks for commenting.

I accepted an offer in Bay area because of the money. It's true that they pay your really well in Cali, especially if you are an engineer. But again, I'm not sure what my future looks like. I used to think Scilicon Valley would be an ideal place to live, it has the best engineers in the world who I really enjoyed working with, but at the same time it has a lot of problems in the surrounding areas. The drug, the gun, the violence, you know it's one thing to watch the news but to see them corner boys packing heat with your own eyes, it scared the shit outta me. And to think kids have to grow up in this environment? I don't know man, it breaks my heart.
But maybe this is just me, it's the first time I came to US so maybe I'll get used to it
Cong on your new offer. You are absolutely right. and it also concerns me for the issue you pointed out. We are trying to stay in a safe district, but the cost of living is high. I don't know if I made the right decision to come to bay area but we just need to experience ourselves to make a call.
Hi Gaosheng - this would have been more useful if you did an apples to apples comparison with your old house to what you can get in the Bay Area. Also you could go into the state taxes/ gas ( if you need to drive to work). I think 30k is on the light side of things to move there with the same standard of living. As a comparison I am doing a similar calculation from going from philly to nyc area. Based on housing and taxes I found a 50k increase. I also think Bay Area is more expensive than Jersey.

I updated my cost estimation for 2022 based on your suggestion. Thanks!
Yea but your comparing living in an apartment vs a house. What would it be if you lived in a house in the Bay Area.
Yes, check some of my other videos about buying house in the Bay Area.
Thanks friend. I just move china to USA, got $3 million dollar home Fremont, love how sun it here. I spend all time in Sun.
You need at least 85k+ to survive ,30k is not even enough on rent alone
You are right.
Is 85K dollars per year?
U are right not Even though your living in Tijuana You can survive with family.
Wait just to clarify, I’m moving there soon for work. My husband is also in the military so I won’t go out of pocket as much for housing. So you’re saying you need to make at least 30,000.00 a year in order to be comfortable in The Bay Area?
Cong to your new work! Compared with where I lived before, I calculated I need to make +$30k more to break even due to the higher cost of living at Bay Area. To be comfortable, it depends which area you are living in and how many kids you have. Because it will dramatic impact your total expense here.
Good luck.. gas and rents going up. Traffic sucks, crimes at all time high. There’s tax on tax on tax. Overall welcome to the Bay Area:)
@@gkelly650 that's right, it's getting more and more expensive.
It sounds like a debt nightmare to move into the Bay Area . Rather have a house with yard vs apartment
Yeah, definitely it’s much harder to get a same level of living space in Bay Area. While the reason I decided to come here is job opportunities and sunshine 😃
Whats the minimum salary per month to live in bay area?
For single, as I detailed in another video czcams.com/video/kJS4Spf5JRo/video.html
You need about $7500 /mo to live comfortably.
@@fgsfrancis is that before or after taxes? And how much will you estimate for a family of 4?
@@georgealvitesacker8113 It’s before tax. For a family of 4, you need budget ~$4000/mo for house. If you need send kids to private school or pre-school, you need about $1500~2000/mo per person. Then adding up your food, dining out, utility bills and transportation. You can add it up.
@@fgsfrancis thanks. But do you have in mind a total monthly budget for a family of 4 in SF?
@@georgealvitesacker8113 It depends on what are the 4 you have? Kids with pre school or public school, for example.
Would be interesting how much for a single 🤔
For a single, the cost can be much lower. Depends on which area you want to live, the cost of housing still gonna be a the major cost I think.
My budget when I was single was $2500 rent + utilities for a small studio, $325 parking, $600 food, $100 car insurance? $70 phone, so about $3600/ mo total. So about $60k/ year befor taxes just to live, but have no life + savings….. I could get the same thing in a small Midwestern city for around half that with a better quality of life.

Made this video for you on how much need for a single and pros and cons living here.
@Confused Goku maybe a little, but i find the Bay area is much more aligned with the political left, and so people are less racist than other parts of the country.... some comapnies are even of the mindset that in order to swing the pendulum in the other direction of racism that they would prefer to hire a non- white person... kind of like affirmative action..... So i don't find any issues here. whereas when i lived in other parts of the country like Iowa, people were more outspoken about being racist. but also on the other side of the coin in find that generally i find that there are so many crazy people on the streets that people are not as willing to talk to or help out a stranger. people just keep their head down and keep moving.
needs +30k a year.
Yes for me 2yr ago from Portland, OR. But I think I underestimated it.
Here's a better rule : If you are warehousing your kids to Day Care, your life is a mess. Move. Never dump your children to strangers all day.
Actually it's the really poor people who keep kids at home, like you ;)
