<prompt> Human: I live about 3 hours away, out of state, and just got a job that pays 75k. But it does not start until September. I need to move to the city before then, but I am having problems financing it. I have 4000 saved up from my student stipends in college. Based on the principal of making 40x montly rent in annual pay, my budget is around 1850. But a lot of apartments I am finding in this price range either require two months rent brokerage fee up front, OR require essentially 3 months rent up front. Both of these are well over the 4000 cash that I have available. I have a credit card with 3000 available towards its limit, but I cant use this to pay for an apartment. Finding apartments below this price range is even tougher; I include them in my search but they are by far the minority.I do not have any other sources of cash available. I already booked an Airbnb room for next week to go to the city and apartment hunt, but I am afraid that I wont have enough money to get any of them. Should I book an Airbnb room for the entirety of next month, wait until I get a few paychecks, and then try again while living in the city? I am not sure what to do here, and I am really afraid of having a job in the city but having no means to afford moving there for it.  <response>: Queens or Brooklyn should have much more affordable places.
