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.
