<prompt> Human: I gross right around 40kyr, take home is about 2300mo. Im 1 year out of college and still live with my parents but I would like to move out.Problem is, the rent market where I live Las Vegas is ridiculous. Going by the 30 rule that I learned from here, I can afford 766mo for housing, so Id call that 700 for rent and the rest utilities.Looking at google reviews for places that cost 700mo, all of them are 1-2 stars. Roach infested, people getting shot in the parking lot, you name it. I dont need to live in the nicest part of town but I dont think I would feel safe living in a place that 700 will buy you here.Cheapest I can find for a place that I would actually be comfortable living in is around 950 utilities. I know I cant really afford that, and I dont really want to pay that much, but what are my other options? Obviously roommates but I really dont want to live with roommates.  <response>: Get a roommate. Nothing wrong in living with someone.
