$49K isn't much in San Francisco. I wouldn't count on finding a trendy apt on that kind of income. You'll be lucky to find any kind of apt. You better start looking for roommates now. Where are you coming from? And how much was your income before? Maybe we can help with providing a salary comparison.

A friend just found her place in Russian Hill---a one-bedroom for $1200. The renter dropped the price by $100 off advertised before she even opened her mouth to discuss the rent.
Don't be scared off. You won't save a lot, but you'll be fine. Just don't bring a car and spend the money on parking/insurance.

Good point about the car J - Steve's money will go a lot farther if he doesn't have to pay for auto expenses.
$49K in SF isn't much.
I think it's doable as long as a person doesn't have kids and is willing to share housing or live in a small apartment in a non-trendy neighborhood.
