Krissy Eliot was paying $2,000/month for a 600-square-foot apartment outside of San Francisco. She left for a three bedroom, two bathroom house in Clark County, Wash. for $1,500/month: (via MarketWatch Picks)
Not long ago, Krissy Eliot, 32, was living a pricier life in San Francisco. She needed money, a lot of it, for her basic survival. Rent for a 600-square-foot apartment — Eliot calls it a “hovel” — in Richmond, a city 18 miles north of San Francisco, was $2,000 a month. The daily commute from that apartment to San Francisco, where she worked at a tech company, cost $80 a week.
When she started to think about leaving, she realized she doesn’t need that much money to be happy. “I have pretty simple desires,” she says. “I just want to eat and write.” She left the Bay Area in fall 2020. Even better, she has way more time. Along with pursuing topics that interest her, as opposed to those that merely make money — Eliot is carving a niche for herself in the field of paranormal and cryptozoology journalism — she can do so at a much slower pace, and still make enough money to survive. “I’m making probably half of what I was making in the Bay Area,” she says. “But my lifestyle is dramatically better. I can wake up and work a normal eight-hour day without losing sleep from stress.
