If you're coming out here to California, and you want to be anywhere on the coast, you need at least a $2K stake to get established, and that assumes you get a job pretty quickly. Which is not so likely in Northern California these days, though somewhat more likely in Southern Cal.

For example, 1-bedroom apts in the great SF Bay area (outside of the _really_ desirable areas) are going to cost $1K a month, and to get into one you need first, last, and deposit, and so you're talking $3K right there. If you can stay with family for a while, though, and then maybe find the time to hunt up an apartment or house share, that'll be better.
