How does a lower middle class person in Illinois afford to live in California or Florida?
I live in Bloomington, IL and would love to live in Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, LA, San Diego, San Francisco, or in California in general (preferrably southern).

Try to get a job lined up and check ads or Internet for roommate wanted Many people are like yourself they can't afford to pay rent so they find someone to help share expenses.

get a medium income job in caif. before you move down here
or if you don't have a familey just move down here and see what happens.

Many people are getting interest only home loans. Your payment is lower, but nothing is being paid on your principle amount borrowed - but they also believe they will get their money back when/if they sell, since properties are so high there.

Better chance to find a cheap place in Florida, Florida is always growing so if you do not have to live right in town go a little ways out from Tampa , Fort Lauder dale expensive anywhere around could try martin county fast growing, but then what type of work will you do or do you have other income sources that's Florida problem service based business

they can't.

Get your expectations in order. You could make double your salary, but housing and other expenses so much higher, you will have less space, less free time, and less "fun money" left over.

In Los Angeles, middle-of-the-road apartments can easily cost $1500-$2000 a month for a one-bedroom, maybe $1200 for a 500 square foot studio. Hopefully, you are married, or have someone you could split such a small place with.

It's a little better in bad areas (bring your own roach spray, or your own gun) and in areas that are far from the city (but that's not unlike where you are now, except with heat, not snow!)

I can't kid you here. It's a tough transition, even if you already have a job lined up.

You can't. Either you become insanely rich fast, or you move here, hate it becaues of the lack of money and/or job, and end up moving back. I live in the OC, I'd know. Unless you have a plan of attack, just moving here will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

LA is very expensive. Rent is high (don't even think about buying a house), gas is high and you have to have a car, everything but food is taxed, entertainment is outrageous and you have to pay for parking in most places.

The things that I found cheaper: fresh produce, salon services (nails and hair), and wine is very inexpensive.

Did I mention that the pay does not match the cost of living?

If you are lower middle class in IL, you will live in poverty in LA.

You would probably have to find a roommate to live with. The cost of living is outrageous otherwise. Trust me, I know!
I live in California and i payed $600,000 for a 1200 square foot home in a lower-middle class neighborhood!

One needs lost of money to afford living in California... Or else come and live in gang/crime infested neighborhoods in subsidized housing... Or have ten family members all working, supporting and taking turns living under the same roof. Please do yourself and your family a big favor and stay out of California... I cannot comment on Florida for I have never lived there...
