<prompt> Human: Hi PF,Long time lurker and wanted to gather your thoughts on this move Im planning to make. Ive been wanting to move to another apartment and now that I found a decent place I want to understand whether or not my budget allows for the higher rent. The following are my expected expenses other than actual move in costs:Monthly income after tax: 2,580Rent new apartment: 950Utilities: 50Groceries: 200Restaurantsfast food: 150Transportation reimbursed by work, but for uber here and there: 100Discretionarymiscellaneous: 100 - 200No debt of any sortI would have around 1k or less left over, which I would split up into savingsemergency fund. I will also start planning to contribute towards 401k company doesnt match until a year of work.I also have an eye out for another apartment that is much cheaper, but Im heavily considering towards the one mentioned above. The reason why I am a bit hesitant is because I think I am only staying at my current workplace for another year. That and admittedly I am a bit clueless on budgeting -- Ive only tracked my expenses on a spreadsheet but not really stuck to a strict budget; as long as I have 4-5 of my income left over by the end of the month. Any advice is appreciated.  <response>: Im rocking that California life with 90 income to rent.
