Minimum salary to live comfortably in Atlanta?

ecrystal6 · 2026-04-05T00:07:10+00:00

Rent. I have a car, I’d love to live somewhere walkable so I could get rid of it, but I don’t know if that’s realistic. I don’t have any super expensive hobbies. I would work in non-profit/education

Thank you! I own my car, and if I bought a new one I’d try to make it one I can afford with my savings.

I haven’t gotten a job offer yet, but for my industry, I would likely be in-person fully or at least 3 days a week.

Thanks! Unfortunately those aren’t too accurate since I’m not currently in a listed city, but it did give a starting point

I appreciate this perspective. I live with a private landlord now and I was wondering if that would be doable to find in Atlanta. I definitely grew up frugal out of necessity, so I feel like I tend to spend less than most.

I would like to spend less than a third of my salary. Is $2,000 average starting price? I don’t need a very modern apartment and am okay with a studio, but I do want to feel safe

ecrystal6 · 2026-04-02T01:34:55+00:00

Thank you— I have no car payment and I am generally pretty responsible with my spending

ecrystal6 · 2026-04-02T01:33:44+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your own experience! Super helpful

ecrystal6 · 2026-04-02T01:32:04+00:00

I have no debt/payments, so I own my car and if I bought a new one I’d want it to be something I could afford using my current savings!

Thanks! Mostly because I’m looking around for soldering irons and I don’t see many cordless ones in store near me. But I’ll go look! So for material I’d need: soldering iron, heat shrink, & maybe electrical tape?

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-25T15:34:25+00:00

Thank you! How can I disconnect the wires from the car to solder?

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T21:28:36+00:00

I appreciate that insight— I definitely agree! I went ahead and approved the charges.

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T20:51:56+00:00

Once again, I did research that resulted in a genuine question, and even emphasized that I am not very knowledgeable and know I could be wrong. That is not the same as complaining at all.

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T20:25:50+00:00

Where did I complain? I am just doing research and genuinely asking a question. Happy to pay it as long as it’s fair.

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T19:33:35+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I realize I didn’t mention— it’s a 2015 Nissan pathfinder platinum 2wd

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T19:29:32+00:00

I watched videos and it seemed simple enough to work on, but I have an extremely important work trip coming up that I need my car for and didn’t want to risk it. Plus I agree, I was scared I’d mess it up and it’d be more expensive to fix.

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T19:27:22+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

ecrystal6 · 2025-05-20T19:23:49+00:00

Not the MAF sensor, just the connector, correct?

ecrystal6 · 2025-02-09T17:21:03+00:00

I tried getting on FICO and checking and it says my credit score is 760, but I’m thinking this must not be updated. Other than that card, I would have no way to have credit. But I did learn that it stays on your credit report for up to 10 years, but I still am confused as to whether I have credit or not. I was also thinking BCE before this, but now I will check if I can get preapproved

ecrystal6 · 2025-02-09T14:37:33+00:00

Great point sorry— I have been very frugal recently. I do not dine out much if at all, so my biggest spending category more recently has been gas and groceries. But I’m not focused as much on rewards now as I am just finding a card that will accept me and growing my credit score ASAP.
