    50,000 if you want some money to go into your savings, have a 1 bedroom apartment to yourself, go out to eat occasionally, and have a bit of spending cash. If you're really frugal, you can live in the pricier neighborhoods where the rent is about $1300-$1700. If you want more spending cash, you'll need to live further away from where everything is happening like the Richmond District or Sunset District where you may find a place below 1300.

    It depends what part of the 9-county bay area. There are expensive areas and there are cheaper areas.

    Overall you should be earning $60,000+ per year.

    $50,000 per year if you live frugally.

    Your cost depends on your needs and life style.

    San Francisco is the 2nd most expensive city in the US in which to live.
