<prompt> Human: A little background on my situation. I got a new job a month ago with a starting salary of 50k plus 1of gross profit. I am the brand manager of a new denim line thats launching in February. If we are only selling at 110th of production for the first year, my estimated bonus would be 24k.Ive found my dream loft in my city. Ive been looking hard for nice 1 bedroom apartments close to action and with great design. Im a sucker for exposed brick. Ive found a place in my favorite building at 925 and set up an appointment to see it the next day so the manager could alert the current tenant Id be looking at it. Unfortunately, between our phone call and meeting, she rented it site unseen to a man in Chicago. She only had one more 1 bedroom and it was 1100. This buildings goal is to make loft living affordable to young artsy types, so this same room would be 1500-1600 in any other building in the city.I absolutely loved the space, but my limit was 1000. My limit was arbitrarily set at a number that sounded good, but I got confirmation from friends and family that it was a smart limit. Is 1100 too much rent for a single guy with my salary?Heres an extra little note. This is my last chance to live in this building. Theres a salary cap set at 32,000 a year. You have to show the previous years tax returns in order to grab a spot. Since my last returns show lt;32,000, I can still get a spot. Once youre in, youre in and they never check your finances again.To summarize, I love the community, I love the building, and I love the rooms. Is 1100 too much?Edit: I have no debt. No car payments or student loans. And bonus maybe wasnt the right word. Contractually, I receive 1 of profits... I just have no way of predicting how much that will be. But Im confident it will be at least 10k, and thats if the business does horrible sales.  <response>: So you probably net like 3k a month? If thats so, the apartment would be like 30 of your net, which is reasonable. 30 is the rule of thumb for rentmortgage.
