Podcast #27: How to Afford LA and Support Your Dreams

Your first year or two in Los Angeles can be challenging when it comes to money. When you are just starting out to go after your big dream job, and you're starting at the bottom, you may not be making tons of money yet. So how on earth do you afford to live in LA?

When I first started out in LA, I had a really tough time. I was making very little money and was forced to learn how to live on a budget. It wasn't fun, but it was an invaluable experience. In this episode, I talk about the 4 biggest money lessons I learned during that time period that I still use today. 

1. Live below your means

2. Get roommates

3. Prioritize your expenses

4. Save, save, save!

Know that you are never alone in this struggle. Your LA Bound family is here for you; we are all going through this together! Let me know in the comments below any tips you have for saving money, or any question you have.
