Do what my husband did, marry someone who makes 4X what you do. Then you can live well.
He is a Fed though, so his salary is probably higher than a regular PO.

Nothing wrong with that. I remember a good friend of my dads telling me that you can make more money by saying I do to the right girl than you can by working your whole life. Women have been doing this for years, why not allow the guys to do the same. lol

Didn't work so well for my brother in law an LA PO. He married my sister and she has to work for a living and doesn't make what he makes. Still they seem to do just fine.

With the cost of living in Los Angeles being so high, being a police officer is a great career choice. Depending on what your paygrade will be...a BASIC rookie cop makes between 40-48K his/her first year, while a Lieutenant/detective can make upwards of 110K annually. I've been an officer going on 12 years now, and I do pretty well, with only a wife and 4 dogs to support. Best of luck to you.
