Nadia Eghbal : How to Live in San Francisco on. I recently came across Elizabeth Yin’s blog post pointing to growing examples of people living very happily and comfortably on small salaries and describing how she lived in Tokyo on less than $30K/year.
I’ve had a similar experience here in San Francisco, where I’ve lived on <$20K/year in the 3 years I’ve been here. I feel very strongly that you don’t need a high income to live wherever you want, and Elizabeth’s post inspired me to finally write about it on here. I’ve done this the right way and the wrong way, so I thought I’d share both of my experiences. Read along and see whether you can guess why one was better than the other.

He’s the witty cartoonist behind Dilbert. It’s an “office” comic that pokes fun of big business innefficiency and “stupid people.” In the latest book The Way of the Weasil, the world famous cartoonist took a jab at the topic of financial planning… he described a one-page financial plan that everyone should use.
Funny thing is… it’s not half bad. Adams wrote in the book: “Everything else you may want to do with your money is a bad idea compared to what’s on my one-page summary. The book is fantastic and everyone should read it for the humor and implied efficiency lessons alone. Of course, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the “plan.” The next article for Learn Financial Planning is about how to figure out what your financial goals should be, and then how to actually write the financial plan.
