<prompt> Human: Me and my girlfriend found the perfect townhouse that costs 1,150 a month for rent, roughly 1,400 at the most with all utilities.We plan on working full time, making the rent utilities roughly 50 of our monthly income at the most. This will be the first of us moving out from home and are wondering if this is a smart idea or not.  <response>: How much should one spend is personal preference. I pay a little more for rent than i typically would because I live one mile from my office and spend 10 minutes daily on my roundtrip commute.It doesnt sound like paying nearly half of your income would bring a lot of benefit especially if its both incomes combined.
