Assume you are single and childless, willing to live like a college student and your goal is to work a high paying job to help fund FI/RE in a lower cost of living city down the road.
What are your options to save money? I know roommates are a huge part of it, anything else?
I have spent some time in a couple reasonably high (but not ultra high) cost of living cities. Aside from real estate and certain taxes, almost all other expenses were the same as a low cost of living area. My monthly expenses in a place like San Diego were only a few hundred more than I was spending in a small town in the Midwest.
I am considering San Francisco and I am wondering if there is a way to live frugally to save money to help achieve my FI/RE goals.
