At the risk of sounding extremely annoying and having people yell at me, I recall that my UCLA graduate school stipend, which was considered full support, was $3,000, which I lived on with a margin to spare. According to the Consumer Price Index, that amount adjusted for inflation is the equivalent of $8,260 today. I don't advocate a graduate student lifestyle for real grownups, nor do I posit that a grownup salary ought to be equivalent to a graduate living stipend -- my point, simply, is that it's possible to live on very little, even in L.A. It can even be fun. Andy Finch DEFINITELY NOT AN AAM STAFFER FOR PURPOSES OF THIS MESSAGE [log in to unmask] > A salary in the "Low 20s" won't support anyone in LA.
