What living in Seattle on $60K a year looks like
www.seattletimes.com
Adriana Gomez-Weston makes $60,000 a year and lives with five roommates to accommodate other expenses. This year, she hopes to move out on her own.

The Seattle Times is launching a new series, Affording Seattle, asking individuals and families to share how they manage their money. Each profile will feature a unique perspective on the cost of living here. No single experience is broadly representative of the entire region, but taken together, the series aims to reflect how residents see the economic opportunities the city gives them and the sacrifices they make to live here.

    Nope:

    Her biggest expense is rent. Gomez-Weston pays $830 each month for a single room, including utilities, in a boardinghouse in the Green Lake neighborhood. She shares bathrooms and a kitchen with a rotating cast of up to seven other renters, typically students and traveling nurses. There’s no common living area.
