According to this article, to live in California a family of four requires at least $3,930 dollars each month IN ADDITION TO what they will pay for rent! So with average rent prices today, somewhere around $5,500 to $6,000 each month. And it goes on to say that to live comfortably that same family of four will need at least $9,560 each month!

I know expat retirees living on that much all year here in Mexico, within a few blocks of the beach.
