<prompt> Human: Im looking to move to a new place and have an offer for 1030mo each for a 2 bed, plus 50-150 for utilities seasonal. Currently i make 52,000year, 770 weekly I have a strong feeling that Im over-withholding. I pay 350mo in student loans. No outstanding credit card debt, excellent credit overall, and no car paymentsanything else. 25yo in a career oriented position at a Fortune 500. Right now I live in a 5 bed at 500mo including utilities, hence why I ask about the rent increase. Its never been a consideration whether my rent was affordable. My current apartment is 35 miles reverse commute from work. My current apartment is in Boston and a complete steal, though not particularly nice looking and not in a prime neighborhood. 1 hour to work, 1.5-2 home depending on traffic is killing me. This new apartment would be 5 minutes from work, has workout facilities for free work has more for 4mo that Id finally be able to use without losing all of my evenings to commuting, is a 2bed2bath, and is all in inclusive luxury. Quality of life wear and tear on my 12 year old car would be far better. Going into my apartment search, I figured 1,200mo was a solid max for rent less utilities annual40. This ticks all the boxes for me, but I just want to make sure that price point makes sense. Moving would cut my discretionary spending down cheaper groceries, more time to cook so less take out. And Id get rid of my onceweek bar night uber equaling 75-100. Is 1,033 too much to pay on a 52,000 salary for a 25 year old?  <response>: You salary can afford it. If Im in your situation, I would do it in a heartbeat.
