<prompt> Human: Hi!Lurker on pf for awhile now, and I finally graduated university and moved back home. Just landed my first job 71,500yr, super excited, but now comes to the issue of rent. My parents wanted me to help the household by paying rent, and I totally agree with that. Its just that Im not sure if the amount theyre suggesting is too much. They suggested 500 a month; and this I guess in comparison of finding an apartment in Austin is around the same price. But this would also include them covering internet, family car insurance, family phone plan. Should I try to negotiate lower? Or is this a pretty fair amount? Just wanted some unbiased advice, thanks!Edit: Okay, okay I get it; I definitely see how much of a steal Im getting now. Thanks so much for replying guys!  <response>: Its more than fair. You likely wouldnt find a decent place in Austin for that much. I would be willing to bet that your parents are more than happy to give you this discounted rate so you have time to save up some cash the first year or two. Take it and help around the house in other ways while they give you this break. No one said you cant cover the grocery bill every now and then also ;
