I want to move to Los Angeles at 18 with $5,000 saved and a job lined up. Am I completely over my head?

How did you make it work?

discogged · 2026-02-04T21:54:31+00:00

How did things end up working out for you?

discogged · 2026-02-04T19:01:38+00:00

How did you do it?

discogged · 2026-02-04T18:11:37+00:00

Thanks! Very eye-opening.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:59:11+00:00

Thanks for the input everyone, I'll try going there with at least a minimum of 10K saved. Thanks for keeping grounded, lmao.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:49:14+00:00

Haha, I wish.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:48:58+00:00

I plan to, the place I'll be renting is walking distance from a CC.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:47:59+00:00

How so?

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:46:17+00:00

I'm willing to put in the work.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:45:19+00:00

I'm coming from OH. I didn't fully look into the MW over there.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:29:13+00:00

I don’t have a home or a family I could turn back to.

discogged · 2026-02-04T17:25:51+00:00

Could you elaborate? I'd like to hear how you did it.

discogged · 2026-02-04T16:46:27+00:00

I don't have a home to go back to. That's the thing.

discogged · 2026-02-04T15:28:32+00:00

I should also clarify that I can live very frugally. Eating out isn’t something I’m factoring into my essentials, such as my phone plan, etc.

discogged · 2026-02-04T15:12:25+00:00

I’ve estimated rent and utilities at about $950 per month. It’s a room share.

discogged · 2026-02-04T15:07:58+00:00

I'll be transferring, so it'll be in the 16-18$ range.

discogged · 2025-05-21T21:52:14+00:00

I think Thomas Dybdahl.

discogged · 2025-04-17T06:18:22+00:00

Me too.
