<prompt> Human: I just took a job that makes 65,000 annually with 6 401K matching. Im fresh out of college and want to start saving right away into my retirement. With this in mind what is a realistic limit I could spend on rent a month?  <response>: Youre working backwards. Find the cheapest housing you can comfortably live in and make sure you can afford it. Your cost of living is the cheapest it will be for the rest of your life. Leverage a few roommates for a year or 2 and the 300-400 a month savings into a jump started retirement account that will pay dividends in 40 years. Nobody ever reminisces about that so so apartment they had after college anyways!
