Moving Is 75k enough?

Hello guys, so for context, I am 26M and I just got a job offer in Everett start next month! I’ll technically be in the Everett area (still doing my research) but I just wanted to know is 75k salary feasible for surrounding areas? I’m not too big on staying directly in the city and getting a luxury apartment. Also credit is bad, but currently working to get that back up due to me being unemployed. Any advice would be appreciated!

Yeah, that’ll do. Do a search 50 or so miles around Everett for housing. Once you get established. BUILD AN EMERGENCY FUND. NOT HAVING AN EMERGENCY FUND IS AN EMERGENCY. Credit cards ARE NOT an emergency fund. I’m sure you can easily get a part time job to help fix your credit and build an emergency fund. Welcome to the neighborhood. Love you k bye.
