<prompt> Human: FL USA28M39600yearcurrent savings 1080I live in FLorida and currently live with a room mate splitting a 900 on rent. I got a new job that has me earning just short of 40k a year. Our lease is up in August and I have to find a 1b1bto rent or a house to buy.All 1b1b in the area will cost at least 55 to 60 of my monthly paycheck 1300 after fees and stupid cable bundle pack for the TV I dont even have. Leaving very little for anything else. I currently put away 20200 of my pay to savings but once the new apartment or home kicks in Ill be lucky if I can put away 25 a paycheck biweekly into savings. Im stressed and I need a different way of thinking out of this situation. I want to save money and I couldnt before, now I can with this job but Im about to loose the ability to save regardless of renting or buying. Is this the new norm? Assistant: Why cant you find another roommate rental?Human: Horrible roommate, 28 and finding it hard to put up with any more roommates after years of renting. I want my place, my space.  <response>: Unfortunately, you dont earn enough money to have the luxury of living alone in your current high-rent area without a roommate. You either need to increase your income, or reduce your standards such as by moving to a lower-rent area, or being more tolerant of your roommates.
