Need info for Ga to Ca move

hi guys, i currently reside in Georgia and am thinking about moving to north cali. i have a freind living in Mendocino and said i would love it, as i am very 420 freindly. Im 19 and im looking at Mendocino and Humboldt counties. I just wanted to know how much money i should bring to start out, saying i had to rent a room with a roommate, and find a job. Also just a little information about the areas, from what i heard the both of them are pretty chill places/ I want to be in a state where i can get my medical card and smoke in peace, plus a small grow.

Thanks guys
