Renting apartments?

Question

if an accountant made $45,140 and they were looking to rent an apartment, how much should the person's monthly rent be? what do you think the accountant could afford?

Answer 1

I wouldn't spend more then 900 MAX (including electric,etc).

You should be saving AT LEAST 10% a month.

Answer 2

I wouldn't be comfortable over $1000.

Answer 3

I would have to say somewhere in the neighborhhood of $750 to $850 per month ....

That would leave you a litle xtra for ect .....

However; IF you can afford rent like that ; why not buy your own place ?
