<prompt> Human: Hi, Im currently trying to decide if I can afford to rent an apartment, or if I should stay at home another year and save my money. The details: Im in my late 20s In my current job, I make between 2000 and 2100 a month. The apartment I have been looking at and like is 900 a month, Id cover electric all appliances are electric, gas and internet. Currently paying 35 for meds, 30 for gym membership, 8 for netflix, and 60 for cell phone each month.I have no idea how much I should budget for groceries or fuel for my car each month if I rent this place. Currently I drive 45 minutes every day and my average gas expenditure each month for the past 6 months has been about 250. The apartment would be 10 minutes or less from work.For someone making what I make, is 900 a month reasonable in rent, or should I keep looking for something thats cheaper?  <response>: 42 of your income would be spent on rent which is higher than the 30 threshold normally prescribed. If I were you I would not move out.
