Other areas may offer higher pay, but atlanta is kind of eh. There's a lot of places willing to pay about $40k / yr to new grads, only a few willing to actually pay you decently. Combine that with the cost of commuting or living in the area and it'll frustrate you rather quickly.

My roommate is currently in that boat, sucks completely. $60k / yr is more reasonable for atlanta starting out, but you'll have to look for those.

If you've only got $700 a month, I'd say hold off. Shit will happen, you'll need the money. Get yourself a nice buffer going to cover yourself, then look into getting the car. I spent a year saving and scrounging to get this car myself.
