Accepted a job in Miami.. will 72k be enough?
Hey guys, so as the title says I just accepted a job at a major cruise line down in Miami, paying $72k annually.. I’m supposed to be moving down there in a few weeks but from what I’ve rent is atrociously expensive..
For reference I am 23 and still living at home with my parents stacking up a bunch of money from my current job. My dilemma is I have a job up in Michigan I just got an offer for, for $75k ; however, I’d really like to get out of my parents house. This job in Miami seems like it offers a bunch of growth but I don’t want to be worrying about money.
Is $72k enough to live sufficiently in Miami?
Thanks for the tips and advice in advance!
For context: I’d be living alone for 2-3 months then my girlfriend would be moving down with me and expenses would be shared
To add some more context: My car is completely paid off, my parents will keep me on their insurance until 27.. I do have some student loans left, just over 10k (already paid off 30k)
More context: My girlfriend and I DO NOT enjoy going out and clubbing we live a very simple modest life.. sure we go to restaurants here and there but we enjoy cooking at home and doing things that don’t require tons of money
UPDATE: I have negotiated for an additional 3k sign on bonus to help with the potential move.. I know it is not a lot but they showed me I am at the top of their range for salary and it’s the best they can offer
