Six figures only sound good if you don't know what the costs of living are.

Essentially, you don't have much buying power so you could move somewhere else, earn less and still have a higher standard of living.

Unless you're one of the income millionaires or old money, the Valley is not a fun place. It's fueled by the ambition of young people who throw a few years away hoping for their gold rush.

It also depends on what you like to do for fun. It's cheaper for me to go to Universal every weekend with my pass than to fly to Universal every weekend.

All the hate LA gets is warranted but I can also just do whatever I want whenever I want without much planning and I don't make that much money, yet at least. Lots of opportunities here, some of which have gotten me to where I am and I only have a HS degree making a smidge less than someone with a bachelor's.
