<prompt> Human: Hi guys, Im apartment hunting and I want to know what you guys think is best in terms of how much i should be spending on rent. so I currently make 30,000 annually and Im looking for a 1 bedroom apartment. i have 18,000 saved up. my question is what price range ahould I be looking at. i have been checking out places between 1,000 - 1,250. the highest i have looked at is 1,300 with everything included in price. I figure that my savings should be able to help me get a place a little above the what someone making 30,000 with no saving would normally be able to afford. also my income should increase over the next hear. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!EDIT: I should add that i spent 65 on car insurance and 80 on gas, and my cell phone costs roughly 60. Also internet will be dirt cheap because I work for an internet provider.Assistant: Max should be 13 of your take home. Dont live off what you will make. Live off what you do make.Human: I feel that, my only thoughts were that i have like 18 grand saved. will that not make a difference?  <response>: That 18 grand will make a difference if you get fired or laid off and have to scramble to make ends meet. It wont have a chance to make a difference if you spend it all living beyond your means.
