How much do single professionals make to live satisfactorily to have spending money for weekends still? Is it normal to spend half your month's income just on rental, in order to live the prestige of being in SanFran instead of the other less desirable cities.

Some people insist you can't live here on less than $150K a year; others say they get along just fine on one-third of that. It all depends on what you mean by "living." Do you need to have a nice car? Must you live in your own apartment in an upscale neighborhood? Are you in debt at all? Does your lifestyle require that you buy lots of expensive clothes, work out at a pricey gym, eat at trendy restaurants every night, vacation in Europe twice a year, etc?

Or would you be content to ride a bicycle everywhere, share an apartment in a cheaper (but still vibrant) area, forego a new wardrobe every season, cook your own meals, and vacation in Tahoe instead of in Tuscany?
