Does anyone here live in California? If so, could you tell me how much the average rent would be for a two bedroom one bathroom apartment there?

No and I don't see why it would be any of your business if they did.

If anyone does want to know however I'm planning to move there in four years with some friends and am going to go on a cross country road trip to get there.

Well we've been planning for a year so I'm hoping we'll still do this then. And fuck, I completely forgot haha.

*Raises gun to temple*

No, it will read:

"Hero who took a stand against Pop Music."

I just don't like it.

I'm not some fucking hipster, I don't like the melodies or the lyrics. Give me a band like Rise Against or ISMFOF over Katy Perry any day.

I dislike the idea of pop music because everybody else is an idiot. (Also, IE10 sucks.)

California's a big place - whereabouts are you planning on living? Rent prices in San Fran will be different to those in LA. There'll also be differences based on the neighbourhood and how far out from a major city you are.

I don't really know, me and my friends have looked up some rent prices for cities like LA or San Francisco but not in any suburban areas which are what I was hoping someone could help me with.

At this point I think San Francisco is more likely.

Well, how far out from San Francisco are you willing to live? 20 minutes out? 40 minutes out? And how many of you are there (also important, as I'm assuming you'll be splitting rent)? At first I thought two because of there being two bedrooms, but you said "my friends" in a later post, which suggests you'll be living with more than one friend.

I'll be with five friends but we are going to have two seperate apartments with  three in one apartment and two in the other.

I don't know, while we were looking up what the minimum wage was for California he said that it was higher in San Francisco than the rest of California so I'm assuming we're going with living one city over at the most.

Haha some of my friends and I are planning on moving to California as well. We only have to wait for two years though :P. We were thinking somewere in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Great place if you like mountain areas.

That's cool, me and my friends have to wait an extra two years after graduation because my one friend get expelled from school and held back when he was already a year behind us.

Damn that sucks. :P

It's actually kind of good for us. We will be able to save more money since we have to wait.

Good thinking. I have never thought about saving money for the move before, I should probably start doing that now though.

Plus gasoline and food along the way. We're sticking to making sandwiches the whole way except for a few trips to McDonalds and gasoline is gonna cost a shitload in the years to come. Gun laws are another interesting thing that came up. It wasn't until last week that we realized different states have different policies haha.

I do, but whatever you do, get away from the LA area,

JK.
