Los Angeles?
Long story short: I want to move to LA in a year with my cousin, we're going to live together. We just need a change in our lives. How much money do you think I should try and save? Also, if you live in LA or have been there before, how are the people there? Thank you all so much!

Hi. I've been living in Los Angeles for the past year and a half. It's not an easy thing to do. Living in LA (and making it) is actually pretty hard, and it's very easy to struggle here.
There are lots of pros to living here, don't get me wrong, but there are also lots of cons, and you may want to weigh your options before you make a serious move. You also need to ask yourselves serious questions.
First, how is your credit? Would it be easy for you to get an apartment? What are your means of transportation? Will you have a job so that you can pay for your basic needs? Are you going to school here? How will you pay for school as an out of state student?
These are all very important questions to ask yourselves. If you don't know the answers, or know that the answers to those questions aren't good, then you're not ready to move and it's not something you should do.
I've been living here for a year and a half, and I've only had 2 jobs. Both only lasted me a few months. Lots of places say they are hiring, and while they certainly may be, getting the job is very hard. My boyfriend has been conducting interviews at his job and accepting applications and he's been telling me that a lot of people are actually OVER qualified for the position.
The economy here is very bad, so there are lots of things you need to take into consideration. I'm not saying you shouldn't move here, because believe me, LA is a great place, but it's hard to make a living here and if you absolutely cannot, then you need to stay put until it becomes a reasonable goal.
