Gunner is correct in what he said. Living in any major city in the USA is going to have a higher cost than living outside that city within a reasonable commuting distance of that city. San Francisco is no exception.
Many years ago my wife and I were living in New York. I took a job Baltimore, Maryland. We made a home in the suburbs between Baltimore and Washington D.C. For a time we lost my wife's income entirely and I lost about 10% of my income in making the job switch. The cost of living here was so much lower that we did not see or have any problems and actually improved are standard of living by moving. Even with the lost wages we still able to reap all the benefits that Baltimore and Washington had to offer.
We have since moved many times in our working lives and have always chosen to live within commuting distance of a large city. Each time we have found that this was the best way to enjoy the benefits of that city and not absorb the cost of living by actually living in the city.
San Francisco is one of our favorite cities to visit. They have a great public transportation system from the suburbs to the city. My advise is if San Fransisco is where you wish to call your future home. Explore the wonderful suburbs as a place to put down your roots.

cost of living varies greatly across the united states. san fransisco is one of the most expensive places to live in the U.S.
you're looking at around 2430 dollars a month($29,160/yr) in expenses on average to maintain what americans have come to call "comfortable". I could cut that down and still live pretty damn well.
good luck, friend. we could always use another good American citizen(hopefully you'll want to stay and become one).
