Is $75K enough to live near Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood while working in Sunrise?
Hey everyone,
I’m relocating to South Florida soon for a job based in Sunrise, but I’d prefer to live in either Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood. I’m single, mid-20s, and my salary will be $75,000/year.
I’ve done some research on rents and cost of living, but I’m still unsure if that salary is enough to live comfortably without being too tight financially — especially with a car payment and a few monthly bills. I plan to live pretty modestly (cook at home, limit going out, etc.), at least for the first few months while I settle in.
Would $75K be reasonable for someone in my situation, or would that feel too stretched in that area? Any local insights would really help.
