What salary would a single mother need to make to live comfortably in California?

You need to make at least, bare minimum of $50k if you are to live in the bay area. But if you are living more inland and northern, you can do okay on $35k. Anything more southern add 10k for bare minimum living.

Upwards of $800 for anything liveable. Depends on the part of the city you want to live in as well. Good luck finding something!

Not sure but you can contact your local social serives office they'll help you . In california the limit is 6 children INCLUDING your own so perhaps its about the same...4-6 kids.

Assuming you enjoyed taking care of the house and kids and depending upon where you are you might find a "Nanny" position that pays that much.  They do where I live (SF Bay Area).

CA is soooo expensive. It's true. The housing prices are hyperinflated....as for job opportunities....it's hard to tell without knowing what your background is. CA is also overpopulated.\nI'm a former CA girl.

I can only talk about Arbonne... it is possible but like any business that is legitimate... it takes time.  You have to invest time into ANY business to realize any long term profit.  Everyone's version of PAY ENOUGH TO LIVE ON is different.  If you live in California $35,000 won't go as far as if you live in South Dakota.  Look at the business plan before investing any time or money.

Depends on how long you plan on being here and if you can afford it.  In the bay area, houses are still SO expensive...we pay 700,000 for small 2 bedroom homes here!  Southern CA isn't as bad though and out in the middle, it's still reasonable.  \n\nIf you're only here a couple years, renting might be best, but if you're here long term, it's a good investment.

My friend is a live in nanny.  The family pays her $600 a week.  She is responsible for the welfare of the child only.  She doesn't have to cook meals for the family or clean except for make the child breakfast and lunch and pick up after her and the child.  She is part of their family, if they go on vacation, she goes on vacation.  At Christmas she has gifts like everyone else under the tree.  They pay for everything for her and pay her the weekly wage.\n\nShe has evenings off from 6pm on.  She also has weekends off.  Basically if the parents are home, she's off.  She loves it, loves the kid, and loves the family.  It's an unbelievable opportunity for her.

Tough question! \n\nA decent wage depends upon where the man lives and the cost of living in that area, whether he has to support a family, the number of debts and expenses he has, and the lifestyle to which he is accustomed.\n\nA decent wage in some parts of California would be grossly indecent in San Francisco for example. \n\nA decent wage is whatever will allow a person to live, to meet obligations, and to recreate reasonably without undue fear of going into debt if he misses a paycheck or two. Just my thought!

...it's all relative...to someone who's making $500/week, $60K ($5000/mo) is high!  to someone who needs to make over $100K just to keep up their house payments and live (like here in Los Angeles)...$60K is low.\n\nso it depends on what you are doing for your money, and where you are geographically

I think you would do well in California.  There is a wide variety of styles here, as it is a very large state.  Our economy is usually a bit healthier than the country as a whole, and we have a lot of beautiful places to live.\n\nI live in Santa Cruz County, near the middle of the state, and it is the most wonderful place I have ever been.  We are within commute distance of San Jose and the silicon valley, but on the ocean.  People are friendly, but not too in-your-face, and respect privacy.  Newcomers are welcome if they bring marketable skills and have enough resources not to need public assistance.  There is a general tolerance, as there are many different ethic and racial backgrounds in California and in Santa Cruz in particular.  You have to appreciate weirdness, though!

I would charge as much as you think the mother can afford.\nIt should be $150 a week for each but if you want to and the mother is poor then less. It depends on what area of the ocuntry you are in and what the neighborhood is like. If the houses where you live are $600,000 and up then charge about $300 per child and if the houses are $100,000 then charge $125 per child. If it is a low priced place with just apartment buildings you can charge less.\nFind out what the others are charging that do what you are doing. Charge the same as them.

It depends where you live, who you work for, and how much skill/experience you have.  The median income for a graphic designer in the 95014 zip code (cupertino, bay area, california) is $53,000

The median expected salary for a typical Massage Therapist in Los Angeles, CA is $56,563.

Fort Worth, Texas.....It has the lowest cost of living with the highest salary ratios in the country.  A 3000 square foot home in California costing $600,000 can be purchased in Fort Worth for less than $250.000.  In addition, Texas does not have state income tax as most other states do.  You will bring home more money in Texas than in most other states.  NYC and California are two of the most expensive places to live in the U.S.  Fort Worth is growing rapidly and there are plenty of opportunities for a variety of careers.\n\nGood luck and live well!
