Heck, in the Los Angeles region it’s hard to live on $100k.

Not according to some experts here. ☺

Accordiing to some FR experts think these young working adults are able to save $50,000 cash and buy $500,000 homes in S. CA on 50k or less after taxes.

It's a relief to see there are still a few people on here who know what's going on.☺

I realize that DoughtyOne wasn’t CA specific, and my first comment to you only corrected you on the taxes (you’d net about $50k on a family of 4 in CA, not $34k). Again, I think you should look in the mirror on disingenuous.

Who’s Powering the Housing Market? Surprise! It’s Millennials

"Millennials were the largest group of home buyers (34 percent) for the fourth consecutive year, according to NAR’s 2017 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends study. By comparison, baby boomers were 30 percent of buyers."

If you want to remain a renter your whole life, staying home eating a very sparse diet, and forgetting about any social life including eating out, movies, other forms of entertainment, then sure you can survive for under $100K easily.

You won’t retire on much more than SS. You will more than likely have to access Medicaid, because you can’t afford straight Medicare without one of the various plans out there.

As for doing much in your golden years, you’ll be able to play board games if your spouse is still around, having lived that kind of life with you.

Wow - reading this thread makes me glad we live in a poor rural area of SW OR, paid cash for 5 acres years ago and built our own house (such as it is) and owe nothing... or we’d be in a trailer at some trailer park.

You bet...I could live in my car for 10k a year in CA. It just doesn't seem very desirable. ☺

I could save up nearly $1,250 a month if I did that.

Sometimes it looks pretty attractive.
