<prompt> Human: This is my first time renting...There is another apartment option for 880 a month, but it is nowhere near as nice as the 1,145 option and the more expensive option is also about 5 minutes from where I work whereas the 880 options is about 17 minutes away.  <response>: I make 52,000 a year and pay 1200 in rent and live very comfortably. It is definitely doable.
