<prompt> Human: Hey, so Im going to grad school and Im getting a 33,000 living stipend in a major US city. I found an apartment studio that was on the pricier side 1,290 per month, I was trying to find something under 1000 But that price includes all utilities besides internet and it comes furnished, which would be very nice since im moving to this city so id have to buy a new bed and furniture which im sure wouldnt be cheap. Im also coming in with 7,000 in savings. I would like to find a roommate but id rather live with someone I know versus getting another random grad student that I may not get along with and make things extra stressful my first year. Do you think this is out of my range? My goal would to only stay here my first year because then I could find a friendsomeone I know and move to a shared, cheaper apartment with them so if this place is out of my budget it would only be for one year.  <response>: The apartment is almost half of your income, even before taxes. Not sure what your tax situation is like, but after taxes it may be around 60.Thats too much.
