I’m a 33-year old ICU RN who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I make $192,000.

: MoneyDiariesACTIVE

I realize how wordy I am, with how long this is, so I hope reading it isn’t too time-consuming 🙂

Basic Info:

Occupation: Registered Nurse

Location: SF Bay Area (Peninsula)

Salary: $192,000

Section One: Assets and Debts:

Retirement: $120,000 (avoiding looking at it now, due to the drop in the stock market. Trying to keep my sanity :))

Pension: $150,000 (my workplace is one of the few to offer this, and it really incentivizes you to stay there for a while)

Checking account: $4,000 ish

Savings: I have a few, it’s my way of keeping positivity and hoping to one day buy a house, albeit it most likely won’t be in the Bay, since it’s so expensive here.

CD (for house) :$30,377 (initially put in $30k last year, with a 1.75% APY)

Big savings: $26,602 (my husband contributes $150 a paycheck towards this, for clarity) ( I will transfer this to a CD once the one above matures and combine them)

Emergency fund: $2478. 00

Vacation Fund: $1662.00

Monthly Income: Pre-tax

$15,000-$15,500 a month, pre-tax

$7500-$8000 take home, after taxes and retirements

(I work nights, so on top of base pay, there is a 16% differential, 5% on top of that if you work weekends, of which we are required to do 4-5 a month, and an additional $2.50 if you are the charge nurse, which I do about 5 times per month. I also get a $41.53 per paycheck specialty certification reimbursement, which technically covers the cost of taking a certification test and maintaining it via CEUs). I also, during non-COVID-19 times, teach at my hospital, around 12 hours a month, which is additional pay.

Monthly Costs:

Rent: $3230 (Our two-bedroom apartment, includes $50 cat rent per month)

Credit Card Debt: $0. I have two credit cards from Chase; my personal one is the Chase Sapphire Reserve (i.e. my green card) and my husband and I split the Chase Sapphire Preferred (i. e. the blue card). I/we pay off the balance each month. I’d say that my personal card is about $2000.00 a month and the shared card is in the area of $1400-$1700.

Annual Fees: Green Card -$450, although it is going up to $550 in July when it renews. Ugh.

Blue Card: $95, goes through at end of April

Student Loans: About $10,436 left. I pay over the minimum every month, about $300 total, to finish off nursing school loans and a little bit left of graduate school loans.

403b: Usually around $1800-$2000 a month, dependent on checks, they usually differ a little.

457b: Flat $25. Why not? haha

Pension with workplace match: $500-$600 month

Health Insurance (for my husband and I): $405.00

Vision and Dental Insurance: Covered by employer, $0.

Union Dues: $140.00

Short-term disability: $44.00 (I am accident, bone-breaking prone. Oops)

Savings Distribution:

House Fund: $2200 month/ $300 from husband (he has a lot of debt that he is working through, and there is a large difference in income)

Emergency Fund: $600/month

Vacation Fund: $400/month

Car insurance: $0/month right now, as I paid it in a 6-month chunk, equates to about $70/month

Wifi: $100. 00 month (I pay for all of this)

PG & E, Electric and Gas :Ranges from $65 in the summer to $350.00 in winter (I pay for all of this). Makes me very ragey, that they don’t seem to have a reason and they are shady. PG&E is the major utility in Northern California, and they are responsible for multiple fires that have plagued us each year for the past few years, especially the Camp Fire, that killed so many people.I hate them and don’t have a utility choice.

Conservice: Water, Sewer, Garbage: $150ish (I pay for all of this)

Spotify Family $15.00 (Covers myself, husband, and best friend. You can add up to 5 people!)

Netflix: $8.99 (My husband and I split this)

HBO: $14.99 (split with my sister)

T-Mobile Cell Phone: $97.00

Medication for my cat: $150.00. He has an autoimmune disorder and he requires immunosuppression pills daily.

Donations:

$20/month to the Wild at Heart Foundation, out of the UK. They rescue dogs from terrible abuse situations and help to place them. Please google Maggie the Wonder Dog to find out more! I’ll usually throw another $20 at them if they are having a drive or a specific pet need.

$20/month for Beagle Freedom Project: They rescue beagles that are subject to laboratory testing and place them in homes and rehabilitate them. They also have acute needs for emergency rescues, so I will donate to them when they need money urgently, usually also $20.

$20/month to The Odd Cat Sanctuary: Helping to place cats that have disabilities and/or were at kill shelters. They do great work.

As you can tell, I love animals. I want to help as many as I can; please check out their instagrams (all of them have the names of their foundations) and help them if they seem good to you!

Patreon: $7/month. I subscribe to/support Christine McConell, who is basically a spooky Martha Stewart. She’s incredible.

Random other things:

2 Wine Clubs (Every 3 months): $250 total; I get 6 bottles of wine total from 2 different wineries. This also allows me to get “free (i.e. included)” tastings at both of these wineries, which are local.

Day One:

0845: I wake up without an alarm, which I find to be so relaxing during this time. Since I am leaving the house once a day, to run, I don’t feel the need to wake up at a certain time. It’s really relaxing. I scroll my phone to check my emails, reply to a few group texts I’m in (nursing co-workers, group of my running friends, my parents) and obviously go through Instagram.

0945: Coffee via Nespresso, and an egg and cheese in a tortilla. Not sure if that qualifies as a burrito, but I’ll take it. I don’t love eggs so much but I am trying to eat more of them, as they are healthy and I’ve read that they are good for women trying to conceive. After this, I take two gummy prenatal vitamins and two Calcium gummy vitamins.

12:00: After finishing up on some YouTube, I putz around the house some more, and bug my husband while he works from home.

13:30: Head out to get some fresh air and go on a 4-mile run on the pavement. I am 99% normally a trail runner, but there isn’t a lot of space to be 6 feet apart on the trails, and it upsets me a lot that people aren’t being serious about it. It makes it easier for me to move if we are on the streets. I relish the sunshine and am so happy that it isn’t raining.

15:00: After running, I shower and eat some lunch, plus put some laundry in. Wow, I’m exciting.

16:00 I go out onto the porch and start to read “The Nightingale”, that I’ve had for years and never got around to reading. It’s really good and I’m devouring it, while listening to the French Indie channel on Spotify (really great background music). My husband brings me some beer from a local place, Blue Oak Brewing, and we split one of their sour IPA crowlers.

19:00: We make dinner, some fried chicken (a Paula Deen recipe that we make about once a year because it is way too salty and delicious for my own good) and butternut squash cubes. We watch some YouTube channels that are focused on trail running.

21:00: V gets his cat medication

22:00: Bed time, after getting through more of The Nightingale.

Day One: $0

08:30: Wake up, check phone. I make a double espresso, plus Eggo waffles with peanut butter, and settle into my book. I find out that my one cat likes to eat peanut butter, when I catch him trying to steal my eggo. I then sob into my book, at the end, and am so happy that I read it. I am interested to see if any of it lines up with any real history, so maybe I’ll look into it soon.

10:40: Watched a little bit of my favorite running channel, Run Steep Get High, and the founder of the channel is running a marathon distance on a helipad. Gotta get the miles in somehow, right? Also, I logged onto the “T-Mobile Tuesdays” app and found out that their promotion is a free year-long subscription to a Hearst brand magazine! I got my favorite magazine, Country Living.

11:30: I do a 10-mile run with 1500 feet of elevation gain on the roads, which is pretty good! I explored a neighborhood that I have not been to before, due to avoiding the pavement. The weather is great and fresh, and I am happy.

14:00: My husband, J, and I go to Safeway. It’s not too crowded, and it’s randomly out of eggs. I see a lot of people wearing N95 and paper masks and gloves. We just get our grocery shopping done and are out in 30 minutes. We get: White rice, coconut milk, curry paste, sweet peas, salt, 2 cadbury eggs, 3 bags of Reese’s eggs (they are our favorite and we freeze them), garbanzo beans, sour cream Ritz crackers, BBQ Ritz crackers, strawberry fig bars, a 12-pack of coke, three Aha! Fizzy waters, a 6-pack of mini ginger ales, apple sauce, pumpkin puree, 2 Rockstar energy drinks, orange marmalade, stain remover spray for laundry, string cheese, provolone cheese, cheddar cheese, a gallon of milk, tater tots, light cottage cheese, yogurt, hamburger buns, ground beef, broccoli, blueberries, 1 lime, ginger root, bananas, 2 avocados, 5 nectarines, 2 Perfect bars, one bottle of Band of Roses rose, and one bottle of my favorite rose, Miraval! Phew. We are making everything at home, and it’s a lot. Total: $191.78

18:00 J makes dinner; we have cheeseburgers and tater tots with a glass of rose. I swear I eat healthy some of the time, haha. We end up watching a movie about the Western States 100 race and then I start a book, “The Vacationers”. I’m going to get all of these unread books read during this shelter in place!

21:00 Immunosuppression V. Thank god for whoever invented the Pill Popper.

22:00: Snooooooooze.

Day 2: $191.78

Day 3

08:00: Wake up, browse stuff. I got paid today, woo hoo! Get out of bed, have a fizzy water and an Eggo. No coffee for me until tonight when I go to work. I browse Madewell’s website and see that their jeans are on sale for $75 each! I put them in my bag and then log off. Virtual version of window shopping 🙂

10:00: Walk the rent payment over to the drop box and start my run. The rent box is duct taped open, and I appreciate that I don’t have to touch it. J and I split the rent in different ways; I pay $1830 and he pays $1400, commensurate to our salaries. $3230.00

11:00: 4 miles (oh so slowly) done, hop into the shower and wash my hair for the first time in a few days. I am super blonde and I am trying to preserve the dye as much as I can by not washing as much. I miss my hairstylist!

11:30: I pay our water/sewer/garbage bill via the phone. The company is not run very well, and there were several times in the last year when my payments did not go through online, nor did they go through via the mail. This is the only way that I know it’ll get done. $162.62

12:00: Get back into bed for a few-hour nap. I’m worried about my mom; She is a nurse in a different state. She was told that there were no hours for her (since she works in occupational health-doing things like fitting people for N95 masks, giving flu vaccinations, etc), but they won’t fire her, so she can’t file for unemployment. I’m quite worried and trying to think about how I can help them financially. Ugh.

15:00 Wake up after having a nightmare that one of my cats died. I never have dreams or nightmares during this nap, so it’s weird. I wake up, sautee some eggplant with parmesan cheese on top. Almost an eggplant parm.

18:00: I leave for work. I’ve majorly adjusted what I bring with me; I only bring my license and one credit card, in a ziploc bag. I bring an extra pair of clothes to change into after work. I bring my lunch in a disposable bag, using disposable utensils (I have reusable ones I normally use), and don’t bring in my water bottle or coffee mug. I bring my keys without keychains, with just a car key and house key. Leave my sunglasses and glasses in the car (always bring my glasses in case my contacts go bad). I also put sandals in my car to wear while driving.

22:00 Eat some pumpkin curry on my lunch break, and buy a Cherry Diet Coke from the cafe downstairs. $1.37

02:00 I am hungry and sleepy so I grab some jalapeño pop corners and a diet Dr Pepper. My pt is “critically stable” and requires the care of two nurses, so we just split all of the responsibilities all night. Do vital signs, dialysis numbers every hour, multiple device numbers every hour (the pt is on a few supportive devices), labs, etc. Total $3.10

04:30 Long break zzzz

07:45 Get home from work. Usually it takes me about an hour to get home, but during Covid times, it’s a solid 28 minutes. If I’ve got to be at work, I’ll surely take this as a consolation prize. I wipe down my car with bleach wipes, as well as my phone, name badge, keys, and air pods. Then I throw my scrubs in the wash (already changed into sweats before I left the hospital) and take a shower and scrub myself clean.

09:00 good night.

Day Three total: $3.397.09. Oy.

Day 4

16:45: Wake up a little earlier than I had planned, shower, drink coffee, watch news with my husband.

18:00:Drive to work, no traffic, yay

19:00: Start work, with the same patient. Do hand off with day shift nurses, check off the 10-ish IV drips that are running, plus the dialysis machine, and 3 other supportive devices that the patient is on. Same partner to take care of the patient, and we settle into our respective tasks for the night.

21:30: Our delivery boba order arrived! We ordered from Little Sweet, which their flavors are OK but I want to try a new place next time. Our unit is full of boba fans, so we usually end up ordering like 10 at a time. I order a Rose High Mountain Tea with added boba & 25% sweet. $8.18 for tip/delivery fee

0200: Fairly busy night, but glad to be at work. Still feeling very cautious and scared about COVID. My hospital requires us to wear paper masks while we are at work, to try and minimize everyone making each other sick. My loops start to really hurt my ears 🙁

04:30: Break time! I go to the snack machine and get a Diet Dr. Pepper and jalapeno pop corners again. $3.10

07:00 Drive home, yay!

09:00: ZzZzZz

Daily total: $11. 28

Day 5

16:30 : Wake up for work, shower again, and get dinner ready. I put on some casual clothes and put my dinner into disposable packaging (Bay Area cringe, so used to reusing haha). Brew a Nespresso coffee and drive to work.

18:45: Fill out my pre-work questionnaire. It asks if I have had any symptoms, traveled, or had contact with any Covid + people. Also they’ve added the question if we work with immunocompromised patients, which I do (heart and lung transplants). I pass and go into work, collecting my one paper mask that I will wear for 12 hours. I get changed into hospital scrubs and start my last shift of the week.

22:00 Dinner time! We were surprised by a local Berkeley bakery, Starter Bakery. They’ve donated a ton of fresh baked goods and I almost tear up when I eat my pain au chocolat. It’s so kind of them to think of us, and on night shift, at that! We get forgotten sometimes.

04:30 : Break time. I have made a headband to attach my mask to, since I am getting sores on the back of my ears. It helps a lot.

07:00: Drive home, get into a fight with my husband as soon as I get home. It’s my fault, since I’m extra snappy these days (I don’t want to be) and then we make up and I take a bath and go to bed.

(Cutting this off as Day 5, since I was off of work at that time).

Day 5 total: $0

Day Six:

14:00 Wake up and drink a Coke to pep me up. I make a lunch of cottage cheese, a peach, and some hamburger buns with peanut butter and jelly (I want to use all of our food). Do some laundry, and give our cat his multiple medications.

16:00 I watch a few videos about Covid, that cite a study done in Wuhan, in the hospitals and public spaces. The evidence suggests that the virus is both airborne and droplet. Yay. :/ (not actually a yay).

17:00: Start a 4.5 hour long happy hour with J’s fraternity brothers and their spouses. We are spread all across the country and don’t get to see each other often, and I forget how much I miss all of them. We talk about everything and everyone brings their pets out (we show off our cats!). We make a pizza and drink a 32 oz crowler (can growler, I never heard of it before), aptly titled Social Media Distancing IPA, from Blue Oak Brewing. Fall asleep at 22:00.

Day 6: $0

Day 7:

0945: Slept with some random dreams, but for a loooong time. Switching back to daylight hours is hard, and it’s been a little easier with our current shelter in place order, since I don’t have anywhere to be.

11:00 I made a pot of Prestogeorge’s Organic Haitian Blue coffee (from Pittsburgh, PA-check them out!) and eat a cinnamon roll. Browse YouTube and watch a Vanity Fair interview with Kim Kardashian, about the prison reform work and what she’s involved in. I’m no Kardashian fan, but I was impressed and glad that something good is coming from it.

12:00 Start on my 6-mile trail run. It’s pouring rain and that really keeps the extra people off of the trails. It’s been making me so sad to avoid the trails, but I know that they will be crowded during the day and there’s not enough places to be 6 feet apart at all times. Only one family let their kids walk towards me, without observing the 6-foot rule. Another opportunity for education.

13:30 Bath time and a fizzy water.

16:00: We start to watch Ozark, since I’ve heard that a lot of people are watching it. I’m feeling so-so on it, and it feels like a cheap Breaking Bad. There’s just something about it that doesn’t click for me.

18:00: We make dinner (tacos, plus chips and guac) and log onto Zoom for a happy hour with our run club! I miss them all so much. We live in the same town and haven’t been able to see each other, due to social distancing, and it makes me sit and think about how much I really see them every week. It ends up being about 4 times per week, and they’re all such a big part of my life. We talk about running, working from home, and making bread (it’s the new popular thing!). We log off eventually and then go to bed. I’m a bit sad tonight.

Daily Total: $0

Weekly Total:

Food: $207.53

Living Costs: $3230.00 (rent) and 162.62 (water, sewage, garbage)= $3394.62

Total costs: $3602.15

Reflections:

This definitely wasn’t a normal week, at all. We didn’t go out and do anything fun, or even go to Target and browse around. Who knew that I would miss going to Target and looking at nothing?

We bought more food than we normally do, but we are obviously making every meal at home. It’s a little shocking to see the big number when you’re at the checkout, but then it makes sense after processing it all.

Work was pretty normal too, which was a relief. The world still turns and people are still really sick from non-COVID things. There were just a few more things that made it difficult to go into work (constantly wearing a mask, being questioned about symptoms) but then there was no traffic so I am going to be so grateful for that every day!

At this time, I wasn’t feeling too cooped up or anything, but I can definitely say that I am now, while editing this. I go from feeling ok to feeling really bummed, and I think mostly everyone is like that too.

Areas with Highest Registered Nurse Employment

California is a heavily-populated state, and because of this, it is home to thousands of hospitals, tens of thousands of doctors offices, and numerous nursing homes, home care agencies, rehabilitation facilities, and other medical centers. Across CA, the cities with the largest populations are also those with the biggest demand for RNs. For example, Los Angeles, which has the largest population in the state at 4.03 million, employs nearly three times more RNs than any other city at 113,890. San Francisco, with a population of 870,887, employs 41,160 RNs. Emergency rooms and ICUs have the biggest demand for RNs, so cities with more of these will naturally employ more nurses.

Top 10 Places For A Nurse To Live

Photo by Victoriano Izquierdo on Unsplash

Nurses’ salaries vary greatly depending on where they live in the United States due to several factors, including the cost of living. After finishing nursing school, a major decision for a nurse to make is whether to relocate. A nurse will need to ask questions, such as:

• Is a state with a high average nursing salary important?
• Is a state with a nurse-friendly hospital important?
• Is a state with a lot of job availability important?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted the average salary for a registered nurse was $68,450 for the year 2016. The highest 10 percent earn over $102,000, and the lowest 10 percent earn less than $47,000. Obviously, a nurse’s ideal salary should factor into the decision on where he or she wants to work.

A report by Wallet Hub revealed there are several factors used to determine what makes a location a good or bad place for a nurse to live. For starters, consider job availability. Moving to a state with the highest average nurse salary will not do a nurse any good if there are not any job openings.

Utah, Hawaii, Mississippi, New York, and Washington have the lowest job availability for a nurse, while the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Vermont offer the highest number of job openings. Wyoming, Nevada, Michigan, Texas, and Arizona, on the other hand, offer the highest annual nursing salary, while Maryland, New York, Vermont, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii offer the lowest annual salary.

The issue is a state with the highest job availability offers the lowest salary and the state with the highest salary offers the lowest job availability a large portion of the time. So, a nurse needs to decide if job availability or salary is a more important factor.

The following are the best places for nurses to live in 2018.

1. San Francisco, California

According to Nurse.org, San Francisco always makes the top of the list as an ideal place for nurses to call home. The medical industry in the area offers a generous salary that more than covers the cost of living. As an added bonus, the convenient transportation options make it easy to save money on commuting.

2. Dallas or Houston, Texas

Top RN to BSN ranks three different hospitals in the state of Texas among the top 30 most nurse-friendly hospitals in the country. If a supportive work environment is at the top of a nurse’s must-have list, Dallas or Houston, Texas, are ideal places to call home.

3. Boston, Massachusetts

Boston offers nurses the highest pay scale anywhere along the East Coast of the United States. The city offers a lot of job opportunities for nurses interested in teaching or researching medication.

4. New York City, New York

For someone who does not mind the pace of a busy city, New York City, New York, is a dream location for nurses. Littered with high-quality nursing facilities, New York City has a lot to offer.

5. Baltimore, Maryland

Typically, a nurse moves to Baltimore with the dream of working at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The annual salary for nurses in this state is $65,280. This is nearly twice the average annual cost of living in the state for a single adult, which is $33,994.

6. Honolulu, Hawaii

The Hawaii Health Systems Corporation plans to invest millions of dollars into the health care industry over the next few years. This should open additional job availability. Ideally, a nurse should not move to Hawaii until after locking into a nursing job. While it is a wonderful place to live and work, there is a bit of a job shortage presently.

7. Anchorage, Alaska

The high turnover rate in the city of Anchorage results in a steady flow of nursing job opportunities. However, it isn’t an ideal choice for a nurse fresh out of medical school. The health facilities in this city only hire nurses with job experience.

8. Los Angeles, California

Like San Francisco, Los Angeles offers a desirable annual salary and convenient public transportation.

9. Seymour, Indiana

Seymour is home to the most nurse-friendly hospital in the United States. Schneck Medical Center was a recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award a few years ago for going above and beyond with quality standards.

10. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia is home to a wealth of job opportunities for nurses. As home to one of the biggest children’s hospitals in the United States, there is always a demand for pediatric nurses.

3. Average salary in the USA 2022

Residents of Russia often have a desire to know what is the average salary in the United States? Thinking about immigration, looking for work abroad, or just an interest in comparing living standards in different countries can cause such a question. At the same time, it is important to understand that incomes are always formed on the basis of the state of the economy of a particular region and even a city. A noticeable difference is due to the number of inhabitants, solvency, supply and demand of services. As an example, you can take any region of the Russian Federation and compare earnings for the same professions or positions among residents of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod or any other city.

• Average earnings by profession 2022
• Salary by individual states (regions)
• How much can a migrant earn and how to get a job?
• US minimum wage in 2022
• US taxes in 2022
• How are taxes calculated in the USA?
• US unemployment in 2022
• US cost of living

In the article, we will figure out how wages are formed in the United States, taking into account taxation, consider popular professions, incomes and unemployment rates in individual regions. This will be useful not only for those who want to change their place of residence, but also for those who want to learn something new, understand what kind of earnings Americans have and what is the difference between the wage system in the Russian Federation and the United States.

Average earnings by profession 2022

For American citizens, it is not customary to “measure” wages by a monthly salary. Usually, they immediately indicate the annual amount or the hourly rate. This approach allows you to better understand the prospects or more easily account for income based on hours worked, rather than days or months. This is convenient, since most of the working conditions provide for a “floating” work schedule, extra pay for overtime, which also applies to civil servants. Consider, using the example of a table, what is the average salary in the United States per year. We will pay attention to the professions and positions that foreigners can get.

Importance of the position

The amount of income determines the position. Even with identical education and experience, different “money” may be offered for specialists, taking into account the vacancy. For example, the average salary of a programmer in the USA is listed in the table at 90 thousand dollars a year. However, in practice, most of the representatives of this profession earn within 60 thousand, taking into account the deduction of taxes.

Getting the best position “just because”, especially for an immigrant or temporary worker, will not work. As in any other system, you need to work hard, take the initiative. But in some cases, even this may not be enough due to competition. The American dream, when an immigrant with “empty pockets” becomes successful, is achievable only by a few. Most have been in the same positions for decades. But sometimes, conscientious performance of work for a long period of time is enough. For example, the salary of a doctor in the United States with a specialized specialty exceeds $150,000 per year.

Danger of the profession

Income is also determined by the “danger” of the profession. Here we are talking not so much about the dangers of production, but as about the possibility of violent death in the service. Of course, unhealthy working conditions are taken into account. An increased rate is provided, means of protection, additional benefits are provided. One of the most dangerous jobs in America is law enforcement. This is due to the permission to carry weapons, which often causes street shootings. Given the risks, the salary of a police officer in the United States is twice the average. Plus, social protection is provided, including a lifetime pension for the family of the deceased.

Monthly income, USD

The wage system in the United States of America differs significantly from the scheme that exists in our country. Therefore, income for one calendar month must be calculated by yourself. Divide your annual salary by 12. Hourly pay is even more difficult. Standard working hours per week are 35-47 hours. At the same time, you need to take into account that the rate for different shifts and days is different. It is also impossible to guarantee that all days will be worked.

Monthly wages in the US are based on hours worked. In factories and in the service sector, weekly output can reach 60 hours. Such schedules are available both in lower positions that do not require technical or higher education, and in leadership positions. For some, this is an opportunity to get “extra money”, and for others – to climb one more step in the career ladder.

According to statistics, in the first half of 2022, residents of the United States earned an average of $4,300 per month. Importantly, the average salary in the US per month in dollars increases by 5-6% every year.

Salary by individual states (regions)

The level of income of Americans differs markedly from the region in which they work and live. The key factor in this matter is the supply and demand for jobs, as well as for services and goods. The difference in some cases is so palpable that many commute to work in neighboring states, and the costs and time spent on the road more than compensate for the “big money”. Large cities with well-developed infrastructure and tourism are richer by 75%. Consider the example of a table that shows the average salary in the United States per month, taking into account a specific region.

Lowest median income states

An average income of over $5,000 a month is common, but not for every state. The region with the lowest wages at the beginning of 2022 was the state of Mississippi with an average monthly salary of $3,750. In second place is Arkansas with an income of $4,250. West Virginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Mossad, Missouri and Maine also differ slightly in statistical income. In other states, this figure exceeds $4,300.

Minimum rate, $/hour

According to official data, the minimum rate in USD per hour in 2022 is $7.25. There is also a lower bar, set separately by each state. Unlike the rate set at the federal level, it can change not only up, but also down. Pay for one hour of work is tracked everywhere, even by those who work on a stable daily schedule – 5/2 and have a fixed annual salary.

Despite the presence of a minimum wage fixed by federal law, there are a number of positions where payment is allowed less than the established limit. Low salaries receive:

• Nurses and nannies.

• Students on a part-time job that does not provide for a full-time job.

• Agricultural workers.

• Couriers, packers, seasonal “advertisers” and animators.

• Positions outside the US.

To a greater extent, this is due to simple requirements and responsibilities, as well as the presence of tips, which make up the bulk of earnings. In the case of work outside the territory of America, everything depends on the economy of the region and the specifics of the work, for example, seafarers on foreign ships.

How much can a migrant earn and how to get a job?

The average salary in the US in rubles for the average resident of Russia seems huge. And this is so, if you do not take into account the cost of living, the price of food, services, clothing, household items, entertainment, etc. Despite this, every year millions of foreigners come to America with the illusion of getting rich quick. As a result, the standard of living for many “does not reach” the average, and the accumulated funds become tangible capital only upon returning home. Even in the best scenario, savings are not enough to start a carefree life.

How to find a job?

Finding a job in America is easy. Since the country’s economy is largely built on hired labor and immigrants, there are several ways to get a job. The easiest is to contact special agencies. They will “charge” an additional fee on top of the cost of documents, but will help with everything, including accommodation. In such cases, they usually earn more from you than you do yourself. It’s easier for those who know the language. They can get a job through the exchange or directly to the employer, so they will get better conditions. To search for vacancies, there are employment exchanges and company websites.

How can I get a job?

1. Officially . It is better to always choose formal employment, which provides for basic social and medical guarantees. Plus, you will also receive a “white” income, have protection from fraud.

2. Illegal . Illegal employment attracts many because of the higher wages. But few people realize that it rises due to the lack of insurance payments, the exclusion of part of the tax collection. As a result, in case of an injury, you will have to pay for everything yourself, and medicine in America is quite expensive. In addition, they often initially promise one income, but you get a completely different one. It will also not be possible to object without a formal contract and social guarantees.

How much can you earn?

The average salary in the United States, after taxes, for migrants is lower than what citizens of the country can expect. The only exceptions are in-demand professions or specialists. If we take available positions, then the income is $ 2000-3000. Here you need to take into account that rates and output are different, but in general terms, minus mandatory expenses, the free amount does not exceed $ 1000.

Who can get a job?

More often, immigrants apply for the simplest vacancies that are uninteresting to most local residents:

• Pickers . For such a specialty, they may not even require knowledge of the language. The essence of the work is the assembly of goods in production, in logistics centers.

• Loaders . In America, moving is a frequent occurrence, so a loader is considered one of the most common vacancies among migrants.

• Babysitters and nurses . It all depends on the qualifications of experience and luck. Generous families pay good tips for quality work.

• Cleaners . More often than not, the minimum rate is offered, due to too much competition and the simplicity of duties.

• Waiters . Earnings are “tied” to tips. Usually, the official rate is several times less than the “minimum wage”. But qualifications, language, experience and attractive appearance can help you get a good job.

• Deliveries . Courier delivery of various goods both on foot and by transport. More often it is correspondence, parcels, orders. The main income is tips.

US Minimum Wage 2022

In America, there is a “minimum wage rate (MSW)”, which implies hourly wages. In terms of annual pay, the lowest full-time income would be $10,000 or more. If you take into account the rate of $ 7.25 per hour, then the amount should be higher, but in the USA there is another lower limit for low-skilled workers:

• $4.25/hour – interns and teenagers under 20 years old.

• $2.13/hour – jobs where the main income comes from tips: waiters, bartenders, couriers.

Against this background, you can consider what is the salary of a teacher in the United States. A teacher receives from 42,000 dollars a year. Income begins to increase after 5 years of experience by 1.5–4% annually. This example shows the attitude towards civil servants and laborers. Such a problem is created by increased demand and hundreds of thousands of migrants from neighboring poor countries, Asia and Africa.

US taxes in 2022

The taxation system in America is very different from the scheme used in Russia. They do not have a fixed income tax. Taxes are paid on a scale of increase in % of earned funds. It is also important that most Americans need to pay their own taxes by filing income declarations. On the one hand, such a system is simpler and allows you to “take” less from those who earn less. At the same time, the absence of a “minimum bar” does not improve the lives of those who already lack funds. Consider taxes on average salaries in the United States using the example of a table:

It seems that after taxes, the average salary in the US does not change much, but this is not the case. The value of every dollar is felt, especially if the standard of living is average or lower. With the exception of mandatory expenses, many people do not have money for savings.

How are taxes calculated in the USA?

Everyone, including migrants, is required to pay taxes on their earned income in America. The status of a tax resident is received by all citizens and living in the country for more than 180 days. The exceptions are diplomats, medical patients and students. You can study in the United States for up to 5 years with a tax-free status. At the same time, there is a non-taxable minimum – $ 12,950 for singles and $ 25,900 for married couples. It implies the first income that can be received in different parts and at different times, the whole amount is considered.

Who collects taxes?

The funds are collected by the IRS. The completed application must be submitted by April 18th. Usually, the employer is responsible for withholding and paying, but you can do it yourself. If you pay by yourself, you have a chance to save. If the voluntary contribution option is selected, it immediately includes all mandatory contributions. Let’s look at them in a table:

There are also gift and inheritance taxes, customs duties, excise duties and corporate tax.

US unemployment in 2022

Despite the reforms, there are many people in the States who do not have the opportunity, and sometimes the desire, to work. At the same time, in 2022 their number decreased from 4.8% to 3.6%. Both reforms and the redirection of significant resources to production, the military-industrial complex in order to upgrade and increase weapons, caused by recent events, made it possible to improve the indicator.

US cost of living

The average salary in the US in dollars is 4300 per month. At the same time, this is not an indicator of the prosperity of the entire nation. About 100 million people in the country do not have housing or even bank accounts. Many live on borrowed funds, which are “covered” by the salary, and the new month has to be started again with credit debts. The problem lies in the high prices of accommodation, as well as the need to pay for everything. At the same time, food items, including food, are inexpensive. A used car in relatively good condition can be bought for a “ridiculous” price, by Russian standards. This is due to a glut of offers in the car market.

How much do you need to earn for a good life in the US?

The “good life” should be understood not only as the ability to provide for one’s existence – mandatory daily expenses, but also spending on recreation, as well as savings that will be used for investments or retirement savings. If we take into account these factors, then the minimum figure will be $ 100,000 per year for a family. Here it is also important to take into account the place of residence, since this amount will be felt differently in specific states. For example, for Oklahoma, 100 thousand dollars is a high level of salaries, and for Washington it is quite low, just right for a modest life with an average income.

Basic costs

Quality medicine is very expensive. It feels good in the US. Insurance payments from a salary often do not cover all needs, which is why you have to purchase more expensive insurance in order to underpay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for the treatment of serious illnesses and operations. You will have to take care of small children yourself, hire a nanny or send them to kindergartens, and they are private. The school is free, but only children from 5 years old are accepted into it.

Consider the main costs of the average family as a list:

• Payment for housing . Most spend around $1,000 on rent. For many, this money is spent on mortgages.

• Utility payments . On average, the total check does not exceed $ 200, but again, it all depends on the state, locality, area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house.

• Nutrition . Families of three spend about 1000 on food, not limited to fruits, vegetables or other foods necessary for a balanced and healthy diet.

• Medical insurance . “Good insurance” from $500.

• Kindergarten or nanny . The nannies are not paid much, and the kindergarten will cost about $500 a month.

• Eating out . Many Americans often eat out, visiting the well-known McDonald’s, cafes and restaurants. It takes about $100 per person per day. The exact number depends on where you live.

Average cost of food and clothing

The above figures may seem too “blurry”. Therefore, it makes sense to indicate the average cost of ordinary products and everyday clothes.

1. Products . Bread costs $2.5, eggs – $2.3, 1 liter of milk – up to $1, potatoes – $2.5. Meat is more expensive, in particular, the price of chicken breast: $ 8-9. Alcoholic drinks: wine – from $10. Fruits and vegetables are more affordable: apples – up to $5, tomatoes – up to $4.

2. Clothing . A set of casual clothes for warm weather will require up to $150. Shoes are expensive. If we talk about good quality, prices start at $70. Branded items are more expensive.

Thinking about the fact that it is better to live somewhere, you should always remember – “it’s good where we are not.” In conditions of good earnings, there are always many migrants and high competition. Therefore, even for the sake of a minimum, you will have to work hard. America, despite high salaries, does not “give” a good life just like that.

San Francisco, Chicago, Sacramento and New York are the cities where the largest communities of migrants from the post-Soviet space live. Therefore, new immigrants choose these destinations to start life in America.

• Through bulletin boards for ours in the US.

We talked in detail about search methods: from acquaintances to bootcamps in our material “Working in the USA: an overview of services and search methods for an immigrant”.

Employment in an American company requires documents confirming your legal status and the right to work in the United States. In addition, depending on the requirements of the employer for a specific position, additional certificates of advanced training, etc. may be required.

California is known for Hollywood, Silicon Valley and two cities: San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Prices and budget

We lived in the Balkans for two years before moving to the USA. It was then that the ruble fell, and we learned how to save money, plan a budget, and got used to the fact that everything seems expensive. It seemed that the cost of living in the United States should not surprise us much.

1 $ = 60 R

for convenience, we calculated all prices in the article at this rate

It is believed that California is the most expensive state in the United States. According to Gobankingrates.com, Californians spend an average of 35% more on living than other states. Housing costs 92.7% more than the US average, transportation costs 30% more, groceries 15.8%.

The prices surprised us when we compared them with prices in Russia and Europe. As soon as we stopped doing this and built a budget based on local income and expenses, everything became not so scary. We began to spend much more money on food and services, but large purchases, on the contrary, became cheaper. Buying clothes, a laptop or a car here is much more affordable than in Russia or Europe. In general, prices in California are comparable to the average local income.

Visas and relocation

Millions of people try to move to America every year. Few succeed. In my opinion, the American visa legislation can be described as follows: a lot of opportunities and no specifics.

Typically, professionals move to the US on an h2B visa. There are few such visas – several tens of thousands a year, and those who wish – hundreds of thousands. Therefore, h2B is played in the lottery. You can apply for h2B if you have a job offer in the USA. At the same time, the employer must prove that he tried, but could not find among the Americans the same great specialist as you. In any case, you will have to participate in the lottery. No matter how much a company wants to hire an employee, h2B is a lottery, everyone is equal in front of it.

A green card is also drawn in the lottery – a permanent residence permit in the United States. The chances of winning a green card are even less, for Russian citizens about 1 in 100.

Can you move to the USA?

There is an O1 visa, popularly called the “gifted visa”. It is given for talents and achievements: you need to prove that you are a recognized scientist, an artist respected in your homeland, a successful entrepreneur, and so on. You will need letters of recommendation, your published articles (or articles about you), evidence that you have influenced the development of the industry in which you worked. The O1 visa is issued without a lottery. In addition, you can get a study visa with a part-time work permit, a fiancé visa, and so on.

American visa legislation is very extensive, it is impossible to deal with it without a lawyer, therefore, a lawyer is always involved in processing any long-term American visa.

It is very difficult to deal with US visa laws without a lawyer.

Many come to the USA on a tourist visa and stay illegally, and then legalize their status in the most unthinkable ways. The period of stay in the country is determined individually at passport control. Usually it’s six months.

Among migrants, there is an opinion that the US visa legislation is so complicated on purpose that either talented or very enterprising people come to the country who managed to overcome all barriers, fit into society, find people who can vouch for them, and by any means stay here .

Climate and nature

California is a sunny state. However, unlike Los Angeles, where it is warm and +30 °C all year round, San Francisco is always cool and windy. You need to dress in layers here, otherwise it’s hot in the sun and cold in the shade. There is a strong wind in the city, sometimes there is a humid fog. Hot summers are rare here. I love the heat, but for work and study, the same cool weather all year round is ideal.

The water in the ocean is cold, you can only swim in a wetsuit. Waves all year round. The locals do not lie on the beach, but go surfing, kiting and kayaking.

Kiters on San Francisco Beach

There are many animals in San Francisco. You can meet raccoons, hummingbirds, fur seals and lions, herons, pelicans. Turtles and coyotes live in city parks. Deer, cougars, wild turkeys are found within a 15-minute drive from the city. The trees here are huge: the famous redwoods, eucalyptus and sequoias are very beautiful and smell incredibly delicious.

Turtles in Golden Gate Park

Cityscape

San Francisco is divided into districts and communities – national or interest. There is a business district, a jazz district, a crime district, Chinatown, Japantown, Little Italy, Russian Hill, there are Mexican districts, and so on.

The business district is similar to New York: dense building of skyscrapers and lack of greenery.

San Francisco has both skyscrapers and Victorian houses

Victorian houses are very popular in the city. Most of the old residential areas are built up with two- or three-story houses with bay windows and towers.

There are many homeless people in San Francisco. It’s a whole subculture here. On some streets – under overpasses or along railway tracks – entire tent camps are organized. Many live without tents, simply laying out a sleeping bag somewhere under the roof at night, and resting on the sidewalk during the day.

The homeless in the city are full members of society. The people around them do not avoid them. A passer-by on the way to work can simply sit next to such a tent and chat for a couple of minutes with a homeless person about life.

Professional migrants flock to San Francisco. There are more men than women here, the average age of the inhabitants is 25-40 years. There are very few elderly people and children in the city.

Here you constantly see how new technologies are created. For example, a cafe with a robot bartender, shoes made from recycled plastic bottles, or unmanned taxis are all part of everyday life in San Francisco. It seems that the future here comes earlier than in other cities.

Housing

Housing in San Francisco is very expensive, twice as expensive as the US average. A one-room studio apartment of 50 m² in a typical area costs from $2,600 (R156,000) per month. An apartment with one bedroom and one more room will cost $3,000 (R180,000) per month. Within this budget, finding an apartment is quite easy, because people in the city often change housing after work, and new offers for rent appear all the time.

You can rent housing from a management company or a private person. The management company has higher prices, but it will help if a pipe breaks, the refrigerator breaks, or the ventilation turns off. You can search for housing on any real estate rental site, but I recommend making a list of residential complexes in the desired area, calling their offices and asking them to pick up options for you. An apartment is usually found in a couple of weeks. We found a suitable apartment in four days.

A passport with any visa is enough to rent a house (a tourist visa is also suitable). You will also need an American bank account and a deposit. For Americans, the deposit is small, usually $200-400 (R12,000-24,000). For visitors without a credit history, the landlord can ask for a deposit of up to four monthly payments.

In America, apartments for long-term rent are rented unfurnished. Usually only a bathroom and a kitchen are equipped. In living rooms, in addition to furniture, there is no light and even hooks for a chandelier on the ceilings. Many people simply put floor lamps in to save money. We were lucky: we had an equipped dressing room with shelves and drawers. This saved us about 1000 $ (60 000 R) during the arrangement.

For the first two weeks we dined at this table

As soon as we rented an apartment, we immediately went to the store. I had to buy a mattress, a blanket, pillows, bed linen, towels, lamps, chairs, dishes, a kettle, an iron, a hair dryer, and basic household chemicals. It took us about $1,500 (90,000 R). The next step was to buy furniture.

There are many companies in San Francisco that offer furniture for rent. Putting designer furniture (not Ikea) – a bed with a couple of bedside tables, a dining table with chairs, a TV cabinet and a sofa – costs from $600 (36,000 R) per month. You just need to report the dimensions of your apartment, the desired set of furniture and style.

The company itself will complete the sets, bring and arrange the furniture in the apartment. Buy a set of furniture for life in Ikea – from $ 1,300 (78,000 R). If you want not the simplest furniture, then from $ 2,000 (120,000 R).

Apartment furniture can also be rented

In houses, everything is usually thought out for the leisure of residents: there is a barbecue, a swimming pool, and sports grounds. Our residential complex has two gyms, indoor areas with billiards, ping-pong, table curling, a climbing wall and a basketball hall. Yoga and fitness classes are held. It’s all free for residents and their guests.

A two-room apartment of 70 m² in a residential area of ​​San Francisco costs $650,000 (R39,000,000). And for a million dollars (60,000,000 R) you can buy the same apartment in the center, in a new house with a concierge and a gym. A house on the outskirts of the city on the ocean costs about the same.

Americans usually buy housing with a mortgage. Interest rates are constantly changing, but in general, you can count on 3-5% per annum. The minimum down payment starts from 5% of the total cost of housing.

Pets

We moved to San Francisco with two small dogs. Finding an apartment here that is allowed to live with a dog is difficult. When we nevertheless chose an apartment and began to conclude an agreement, we were asked to fill out a separate questionnaire for each dog. It was necessary to indicate names, breed, age, character traits, favorite food and familiar commands. This is necessary in case the management company needs to enter the apartment during our absence or so that in the event of an emergency evacuation, our dogs will not be forgotten to evacuate.

Since we were staying with dogs, the amount of our deposit has tripled: without dogs we would leave $250 (15,000 R), and with dogs — $750 (45,000 R). The cost of rent has also increased: each pet costs $75 (4500 R) per month. We have two dogs, so we pay an additional $150 (R9000) per month.

We spend $420 per month on keeping dogs in San Francisco

You can go to a psychotherapist and get a certificate stating that you have an emotional dependence on your animal. Then he will be assigned the status of a service dog or emotional support animal. With such a certificate from a doctor, it is allowed to move into any apartment without restrictions, in addition, in most cases, the tenant is exempted from the extra charge to the rent for the animal. This scheme was recommended to us by a realtor, but we did not use it, because we consider it fair to pay for lawn cleaning, replanting plants and dog bags in dispensers on the territory of a neighboring park.

Veterinary care in San Francisco is expensive. A doctor’s examination costs $60 (3600 R), and the treatment of almost any disease or injury is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, many owners take out veterinary insurance for animals.

$60

it costs to see the animal at the veterinarian

Our dogs are young and small, so the insurance costs $40 (2400 R) per month for each dog. If the dogs were over 8 years old, the insurance would cost twice as much. Even with insurance for treatment, in which case you will have to pay: the insurance plan covers 80% of the bill, has a payout limit of $10,000 (600,000 R) per year and a one-time deductible of $250 (15,000 R).

Insurance for pets is required, otherwise the treatment will cost thousands of dollars

In addition, our insurance does not cover vaccinations, dental cleanings, routine tests of the animal. You can get unlimited insurance with full coverage, but it will cost from $120 (7200 R) per month for each dog.

Training, behavior modification, walkers, dog sitters and dog daycare are the services most of our neighbors use. Here it is the norm. The course of social adaptation is considered a basic need, therefore it is relatively inexpensive – $ 350-500 (21,000-30,000 R). Behavior correction is also a popular service. An hour and a half of work by a correction specialist costs $100-150 (6000-9000 R), as in Moscow.

Most dogs in San Francisco walk at least three times a day. During the day, 70% of people walking their dogs are not owners. In San Francisco, the services of dog walkers, or “dog sitters”, are very popular. There are 20 competing companies with a huge staff of walkers. Many people with shift schedules work like this.

The cost of an hour of walking – from $ 30 (1800 R). “Kindergarten” for dogs in San Francisco is more common than kindergarten for children. Every house has at least one within walking distance. Working owners take their dogs there for the whole day so that they do not stay at home alone. This service costs from $50 (3000 R) per day.

Dog walker is a very popular side job in San Francisco

We don’t use “kindergarten” because our angry Russian dogs don’t like socializing very much.

In America, dogs can be left alone at home if they can tolerate being alone. But if the dog barks or howls in the apartment for several hours in a row, then the neighbors or the management company can call the animal protection service. The service employee will take the dog to the dog hotel, and the owner will be billed for the hotel from $100 (3,000 R) per day, a fine of $300 (18,000 R) and a warning for cruelty to animals.

$420

We spend on two dogs per month

Our average monthly budget for two dogs is $420 (R25,200). The average San Francisco with a dog uses a lot more services than we do and pays about $400 (R24,000) per animal.

Payments

We pay about $90 (5400 R) per month for water, house maintenance, garbage collection. Electricity costs another $50-80 (3000-4800 R). If you live in your own house, then you will pay about $100-150 for a communal apartment (6000-9000 R) per month.

Internet is expensive in the USA: Wi-Fi in an apartment costs $70 (4200 R) per month. It takes about $50 (3000 R) per month for a mobile connection with the Internet.

It is worth talking about the Internet in detail, because it is bad and expensive in San Francisco. We have held an optician, rare for California. The provider treats us as users of a new cool service. It is surprising that in a city whose Internet business rules the world, the presence of constant access to the network is not perceived as something vital at all.

$70

Wi-Fi is available in the apartment for a month

One Saturday morning we lost internet. The support service arranged for us to visit the master for the next Saturday – that is, it was assumed that we would be without a network for a week. As a result, it turned out that road workers damaged the Internet cable and the network did not work in the entire area. They fixed it three days later. All these three days, the provider’s support service was torn by calls from angry residents of the area, most of whom work in IT.

Banks

A migrant’s integration into the US begins with a visit to a bank. You can open a debit account with a foreign passport and any visa confirming your legal stay in the country, including a tourist one. The bank makes a card for the account for several days, after which it sends an envelope with the card by regular mail – it will be put in the mailbox, left at the concierge, or stuck in the door gap. For security, they will write on the envelope that personal data is inside. Opening someone else’s envelope is a crime.

Internet banking and banking mobile apps surprised me: they have an outdated interface, limited functions, and transfers between your accounts can take several days, especially if you send it on Friday after 2 pm.

An “electronic payment” for renting an apartment may look like this: go to your personal account, press the button for transferring funds, the bank receives a request, prints a check, puts it in an envelope and sends it by mail to the leasing company.

Transfer between own accounts can take two days

American banks are trying to adapt to urban communities and neighborhoods. An ordinary American bank in Chinatown operates in an office that looks like a pagoda temple, while in the LGBT district, the Castro Bank is decorated in rainbow colors.

Credit history

Credit history in the United States is a record of your responsibility. It records not only timely loan payments, but also paid bills for mobile communications and the Internet, for rent and housing and communal services. Based on the credit history, they make a decision on signing a housing rental contract, on the conditions for issuing a loan and enrolling in studies.

Every organization that wants to verify your trustworthiness has the right to access information about your credit history.

There is a vicious circle: if you do not have a credit history, then you will not be issued a credit card. And if you don’t have a credit card that you regularly demonstrate the ability to spend and pay back, you won’t have a credit history.

Credit history is the most important characteristic for a resident of the USA

Some banks in America have an unusual “loan” plan for beginners – Secured Credit Card. You get a credit card and deposit $500 (30,000 R) on it. Forget it’s your $500 and pretend it’s your credit card limit. You can take this money “on credit”, you have a payment schedule, according to which you must spend and return money to the card. This is how you demonstrate to the bank that you are a conscientious person and remember about your mandatory payments. After six months or a year of such a performance, your credit limit can be extended to $1,000-1,500.

Medical care

Medicine in America is always a big expense. The treatment of almost any injury or disease is measured in thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is extremely important to have health insurance.

Medical insurance here is catastrophe insurance. Insurance compensates for most of the costs of medical care, but does not cover them entirely, you still have to pay out of your own pocket.

Insurance costs from $350 (R21,000) to $800 (R48,000) per person per month. When choosing an insurance plan, you need to focus on three main numbers:

• monthly payment for insurance;
• the amount of payments when contacting a doctor;
• is the maximum amount of potential costs per year.

For example, you can save on the insurance itself and pay less per month, but then your bills will increase with each visit to the doctor. And if you want to generally monitor your health and visit the doctor regularly, then you will have to allocate money for this in the monthly budget.

For comparison, a visit to the doctor for a person without insurance will cost from $150 (9000 R), for the insured – from $ 20 (1200 R). An x-ray without insurance will cost from $300 (18,000 R) to several thousand. Some companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley cover insurance and all additional medical costs for their employees.

$150

costs a doctor’s appointment if you don’t have insurance. If you have insurance — $20

Food and shopping

For the first few months, I went to grocery stores like a museum. I can’t say that our food preferences have changed a lot, but there are many new dishes that we cook at home. In any chain store you can find dozens of meats, hundreds of different sauces, excellent fruits and vegetables, and Californian cheeses and wines are so good and varied that we still haven’t tried everything.

Going to the store for less than $50 (3000 R) will not work. The average check is $70 (4200 R).

$70

our average check at the grocery store

We spend $500-600 (R30,000-36,000) a month on groceries and household chemicals.

The water in San Francisco and Silicon Valley is clean and drinkable from the tap. Therefore, during lunch, most people do not order drinks with food, but simply ask for a glass of water – it’s free.

Bringing your bottle of water to a diner or cafe is also quite normal. If you order only food, then you can dine for $15-20 (900-1200 R). Coffee or tea – another $ 2-4 (120-240 R).

Tap water in San Francisco is safe to drink

Coupons and discount cards in the USA are power. This is where they really work. If you get discount cards from different stores and pay attention to bonuses and coupons from time to time, you can save up to $15 (900 R) per check.

Friday Deals

Store sales are held for every possible occasion, holiday, or event such as the victory of your favorite city sports team. And also without a case: discounts are sent by mail, there are discounts on the days of the week for certain credit cards, the discount can be found on the store’s website. If you really liked a thing, but there is no discount, then you can always find it in another store at a discount, or just wait a couple of weeks – and it will cost less.

During the move, we brought three suitcases of things with us. But these clothes were not enough for life, so we bought a significant part of the wardrobe and spent $800 (48,000 R) each due to Black Friday sales.

Transportation

San Francisco residents mostly manage without their own car. The city is small, many places can be reached on foot, by bike or scooter, especially since the weather allows it all year round. There are also problems with parking: it is scarce and expensive. A parking space in our house costs $300 (R18,000) per month. Leaving the car on the sidewalk will not work: they are guaranteed to be evacuated and a fine will be issued.

$300

A parking space in our house costs a month

Many city dwellers give up cars in favor of bicycles, hoverboards and skateboards with motors.

If you travel far, it is better to use public transport. The city has buses, trams, metro. The metro has five lines, they connect with cities on the other side of the bay.

San Francisco Subway Map

Another convenient and inexpensive taxi in San Francisco. Every second car in the city is an Uber or an Elevator. If you share a trip with other passengers in the Uber Pool, you will pay $5-10 (300-600 R). A typical trip to Uber X costs $7–20 (R420–1200).

From San Francisco to any city in Silicon Valley, you can travel on the Caltrain – it’s like an electric train. At rush hour, Caltrain resembles a subway, only all the passengers here write code on a laptop, check tasks in Trello, or generally sit in monitor glasses.

Caltrain Station in San Mateo Passenger wearing monitor glasses

It takes 40-60 minutes and 8 $ (480 R) from San Francisco to Palo Alto. To San Jose – 1-1.5 hours and 17 $ (1020 R). Many companies are located in Silicon Valley, so when choosing housing, it is better to focus on the location of the office, otherwise up to $ 20 (1200 R) per day will only go to the road.

$8

is a train ticket from San Francisco to Palo Alto

We rent a car on weekends to travel out of town. There is no usual car sharing, but there is a Zipcar service and analogues, the minus of which is that the car must be returned to the same place where it was taken; book a specific number of hours and drive no more than 180 miles per day. Renting a car costs 9-12 $ (540-720 R) per hour or 100-150 $ (6000-9000 R) for the whole day, gasoline is included in this price. If you drive more than 180 miles, you will have to pay 45 cents (27 R) extra for each extra mile.

We take a Zipcar to the mountains

Entertainment and services

There are good museums in San Francisco. Often bring interesting and unusual exhibitions. Entrance to the museum costs about $30 (1800 R). Every museum has free admission days, such as the first Tuesday of the month. There is also a schedule of free days for city districts or for cardholders of a certain bank. But there is a problem with these promotions: on free days, the queues at popular museums are longer than at Picasso in Pushkinsky, so it’s easier to pay $30.

average ticket price to the museum

Exploratorium Museum

There are a lot of jazz clubs in San Francisco. All of them are worthy of attention. Almost any concert in the auditorium will cost $50-100 (R3000-6000) per ticket. Classical events are more expensive, and the cost of tickets, for example, for a ballet will be $100-300 (6,000-18,000 R).

Surprisingly, the US beauty industry is always a problem. It is difficult to find a good manicurist, his work costs from $60 (3600 R), and it is almost impossible to find a salon near the house that would meet sanitary expectations. I bought manicure equipment and do my own manicure at home. These costs paid off in two weeks.

$60

average price for a manicure

Budgeting

Living in San Francisco is interesting, but expensive. If you rent a studio, don’t get sick, don’t buy clothes at all, and once a month entertain yourself with trips out of town in a rented car, then a family of two people needs about $5,000 (300,000 R) per month.

With a budget of $8,000 (480,000 R) you can live more freely, but with children and traveling abroad it will be hard. A comfortable budget for living in San Francisco is from $10,000 (R600,000) per month.

We really like San Francisco. It has good weather, a dynamic environment, and plenty of business and career opportunities. I want to do more and achieve more. At the same time, we do not feel here a crazy rhythm, overload or irritation from the people around us. There is a time for everything here, and people do not forget to relax and devote time to themselves and their hobbies.

What else to read about emigration

Dozens of articles about life in other countries have been published in T-Z. We collected them on one map:

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for a real estate broker is $75,910. In comparison, the typical real estate agent compensation is $20,000, which is 20% less.

Brokers have more options than agents in terms of how to run their business and make money beyond direct wages. For example, a brokerage license allows brokers to own and operate property management companies that maintain and rent properties in multiple jurisdictions.

The amount of money you can earn as a real estate broker is determined by a number of factors.

#1. Experience

New brokers must devote more time and money to recruiting, expanding their client base and marketing their company, which results in fewer transactions and lower wages. Veteran brokers, on the other hand, tend to have more listings, as well as more prestige and expertise in the local market.

No. 2. Niche / Specialty

• Commercial real estate relocation services luxury real estate
• Investments from abroad
• Investment properties

#3. Business size

Brokers with larger organizations have more agents, which means they can earn commissions on more transactions. On the other hand, an increase in staff and office increases operating costs, which can reduce your broker’s profits.

#4. Location

Finally, one of the most important aspects when deciding whether to remunerate a real estate broker is where you live and work. Housing prices and consumer demand, as well as other business expenses, are determined by location. This is true both at the state and local level.

Finally, the type of broker you are can affect your income from a real estate broker. In general, there are three categories of real estate brokers:

#1.

Owner Broker

By law, every real estate firm must be supervised by an owner broker. In addition, the broker owner may be personally involved in day-to-day operations, or he or she may hire a managing broker and take a more hands-off approach to the company. In either case, he or she is legally responsible for all of the firm’s transactions. According to the National Association of Realtors, about 33% of all brokers are individual owners of their business.

No. 2. Real estate broker

Some brokers prefer to work for an owner broker rather than own a business. These managing brokers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the firm.

#3. Associate Broker

These brokers, also known as broker partners, work under the supervision of a managing broker. Some associate brokers remain in the same positions as sales agents, while others step back to focus on certain parts of the firm, such as technology, marketing, or training.

Different types of brokers have different costs, and these costs can significantly affect their bottom line. For example, an associate broker who is actively involved in transactions may incur costs similar to those of a regular agent (e.g., marketing and advertising costs, vehicles), while broker owners incur more significant costs (e.g., office rental costs, technology and hiring). have a significant impact on their final results.
