<prompt> Human: I have been looking at a small 2 bedroom place near me that is asking 850 per calendar month in rent. This is 60 of my monthly salary - I dont really have a gauge as to whether this is average for what people spend on rent or not? I dont want to live outside my means. I can clarify anything additional youd need to know to help me out.Thanks in advance for your comments.  <response>: Less than 30 of your take home is typically recommended but it depends on your entire financial situation. But 60 is way too much. Get a roomate. Why do you need a 2BR?
