<prompt> Human: Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place, but I just got offered my first job out of college that Ill be starting in January. Now that I have the job, Im starting to realize just how expensive everything is and I dont want to bury myself in debt or anything like that. Heres my current situation: Salary is 60k Basically 0 in savings hah No debt of any kind However, no credit either. Ive never owned a credit card, just a debit card Based off what Ive found, rent where be anywhere from 900-1500 depending on where I live. It will be much less if I live with other people 500-900 maxBy doing the divide salary by 40 thing, I can afford rent up to 1500month. However that seems like a huge chunk of my paycheck going to rent. Is that a smart estimate for rent or is it more of an absolute max that I can afford? I basically just dont know what all my bills are going to amount to once I start living on my own and I dont want to live above my means at all. Any tipsadvice that you guys can offer would be great. Thanks!  <response>: Eat at home.
