<prompt> Human: I currently have 63k in student loans half federal and half private. I recently got extended a job offer after I graduate for 70k yearly salary 6k bonus. However, this job offer is in Boston where I would be expected to pay probably at least 1200 in rent. I wont need a car but I am wondering if 70k salary is too low given my debt. Ive always been told not to take out more in student loans than I can expect to make in a year in terms of salary but with such a high cost of living area what can I reasonably expect the cost breakdown per month for me to be? Thanks for any assistance.  <response>: You already have the student loans, so that advice is kind of irrelevant anyway. Do you have another offer for more money? If not, it might be a good idea to take this job for now and start chipping away at your debt. You should make a budget, plugging in estimated rent, food, loan payments, etc. for where you plan on living.
