Is 2,000 enough to live off of until i find a good job?

Question

my roommate and i are moving to denver and we'll have about 2,000 saved. do you think we'll need more with the way the economy is and denver being on the spendy side?

Answer 1

that won't pay your first months rent and deposits.

Answer 2

It depends.  Where do you plan on living?  Is the $2000 going to be split between you and your roommate or do you both have $2000?  Do you have a car?

I ask all these questions because $2000 will only last for about a month or so once your factor in rent, gas, food, & a few other bills.  Just to be on the safe side, I would hit the pavement and start looking for any type of job as soon as I get to Denver.  That money won't last long if you're living in a new city...especially a somewhat major city like Denver.  Things are more expensive there and that money won't last long, unless you plan on living on the streets for a while.  

Start applying for all types of jobs right now...it doesn't matter what it is because you need to work.  Take a lesser job if you have to and work there until you find a better one.  You'll have bills to pay.
