<prompt> Human: Hey everyone,So currently my paycheck comes in around 3,800 monthly. I currently live in a one bedroom and pay 1765 monthly without utilities. However, the complex had a move in special of one month free so I think calculated out I am paying around 1600 monthly. With utilities it comes out 1700-1750.I understand that at the current rate I am probably using too much of my paycheck for rent, but being a meticulous budgeter I still am able to save 20 of my paycheck into savings without sacrificing anything. However I am currently hearing from a lot of peers within my job that they are paying too much and looking for cheaper options, but most of them pay only 1200 for monthly rent.As I am moving into DC in a few months more expensive, but Ill have a roommate, my price range for an apartment is around 1200-1500 MAX 1600 if all utilities are included per person. Im wondering if what Im paying currently is really abnormal, and if what Im searching for in DC is too out of my price range?  <response>: If you are putting 20 into savings, have all your food and clothing needs met, then whose business is it what you do with the remainder? Spending it on rent means you dont have it for other things...like an overpriced car, eating out all the time, expensive vacations. But maybe that is fine with you.It is none of their business.
