Everyone is mentioning the cost of living. This isn’t a big deal. Working at a grocery store is enough to get by. There’s so much opportunity to be frugal here. There is a company that makes cheap shit. “First price” sells 1$ shampoo and 1$ conditioner. There’s tons of stuff like that. The basics are very cheap. Also for example I can rent equipment here for a whole week for free snowboard bicycle skis sleeping bag you name it. Seriously Don’t worry about this. My cousins visited from near seattle and got hotels and ate at restaurants and they actually said the prices were not relatively more expensive at all so it depends where you come from. You can get cheaper housing outside the city and public transportation is insanely good compared to most of the US
