The merchandise you have ordered and the shipping cost will cost you less than buying in your local boutique. For shopping for your home use yard sales. There you can find so many great things in your home for a symbolic price.

Learn how to save on electric

You have to get used to saving your electricity mainly because of the bills. You have to get used to turning off the light when you leave the room, close the tap while you are brushing your teeth.

Start cooking

Living in LA is expensive that’s a given, but there are so many things you can do to save up some necessary money. One of the most important things you can do is start cooking. Wherever you live this is one of the best ways to save money. Make food on Sunday for the whole next week, pack it in a Tupperware for every day of the week and you are all set up. This is not hard mainly because you can dedicate just one day of cooking for the whole next week. For seven days you don’t have to think what you are going to eat, because you have it already in your plastic bowls.

The way of transit in LA

Forget about the car. Everything is actually much cheaper in LA if you don’t have a car. Mainly because of the parking spot that costs way too much and the gas you will spend while driving the car in a pursuit of a parking spot. Think about the metro bus. That’s a good way to move around the city. But if you do want to have a vehicle it’s the best to have a motorcycle. It doesn’t spend a lot of gas and there is more place to park obviously. Whatever you drive the most important thing is to be careful.

 Party time

You shouldn’t be all closed up in your apartment if you are living in LA on a budget. You should give yourself a break and go out amongst the people. City of angels can show you some good time. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will cost you a lot of money. There are a lot of affordable places in Los Angeles where you don’t need to have a lot of money to spend. Just look around in forums on the internet and find some great inexpensive place to have fun. It’s possible. Clubbing in LA is not something that is hard to find.

Split the cost of living

One of the most logical things you can do when living in LA is to have a roommate. It’s so much easier to have someone with who you can share the cost of living. You can pay bills together, share food, why not even go out together. It would be perfect if you can find a roommate that already lived in LA so that roommate can make your life in LA much easier by already knowing where the cheapest places are to shop and go.

So yes, living in LA is expensive and not that easy. But by being innovative and smart you can enjoy living your life in LA. The more information you have about LA the more great, affordable places you will find. Living in LA is a challenge when you have a limited budget, but everything is possible and so is this. Good luck!
