<prompt> Human: Im trying to figure out how much I can afford to pay for rent. I just graduated in December and landed a pretty decent job. I know the rule-of-thumb is about 30 of your gross salary, but I have some expenses that I think will change that. Heres some details:Income Salary: 65,000 Take homemo: 3,550Primary Expenses Car: 218mo Student Loan: 450mo Cableinternet: 115mo Phone: 115mo Gas: 90moI really dont know how much I can afford to spend on rent considering the student loan payment is a significant portion of my take home pay. Please help, and thank you in advance! :EDIT: FormattingEDIT2: I live in the Louisville, KY area.EDIT3: Thanks for all the responses! I appreciate all of the great advice Ive received in this thread.  <response>: Thats around 1,000 per month in bills. I think 30 around 1,000month is still reasonable and leaves you with another 30 to pay off loanscarsave.
