<prompt> Human: For the past 9 months Ive been driving about 2 hours each way from my very cheap apartment to my job. I was paying 875 in rent and making 2700month, and I was able to live really comfortably, but the commute was absolutely ruining my life. My lease is ending and this weekend I put down a 500 nonrefundable deposit on an apartment that is walking distance from my job. The rent is 1450, which is WAY more than I wanted to spend. I got so excited about the amazing commute that I just jumped on it. I think Ive made a really hugeirresponsible mistake. Im fine with living frugally, but my job hasnt been going well lately -- Im not meeting my monthly numbers, and Im worried that I might lose my job and be stuck with this crazy expensive apartment. I havent signed the lease yet. Should I back out and lose the 500? I feel so stupid and anxious right now.  <response>: Backout or get a roommate.
