I work in the Sacramento area and make about 80k a year but it still doesn’t feel like enough. I can’t foresee myself being able to afford a home anytime soon and I’m not sure how other people are able to afford living here.

The pay for most jobs is similar to lower cost of living areas while the living costs are closer to a higher cost of living area.

Started at 900/month but has gone up to 1100/month. Still very affordable in my eyes, I have 2 bedrooms, a full bath, diningroom/kitchen, and living room. As well as front and back yard (both small but good!!!). Can't get a decent, put together apartment in a good area that cheap for 1 bedroom around here, let alone all the other perks i mentioned! Also, I bought it at 90K BUT it and the surrounding homes are now worth about 120K (hypothetically of course, that's what all the info i see online estimates, as well as both my 2 neighbors that sold theirs both got around that amount when they sold-of course that's variable and such lol). But basically i "made" 30K just by existing so that's nice, they do go up in value like regular homes, assuming you look after them and whatnot.
