<prompt> Human: Im 24F, currently living with my parents with roughly a 30k gross, not net salary in Maryland. I get paid bi-weekly, so I get about 1424-1558mo after all the tax and 15 to my 401K. If you want to get really specific, I make 14.52hr. Im currently looking for other jobs, but nothing fruitful so far.I have about 10k in savings due to poor financial budgeting on my part. My living situation is extremely toxic, staying with them long term to save isnt ideal. I am fortunate enough to not have any debts or loans to pay off, and a car car is paid off, but parents are currently paying the insurance. I am currently on my parents insurance, but if I stayed at my current job, Id be losing about 60-70 from my takehome for health and dental.Ive tried budgeting it out, but the DMV area can get mighty expensive. Living alone is always my preference, but Im getting the feeling this is nigh impossible without a roommate or two-three. The average price in the Montgomery County area that Id prefer to be in, due to work, is 1000-1300mo before utilities for a 1br1ba. Rent: 1000Utilities: 200Phone: 37.70Internet: 55-60 Estimating Food: 220 Assumes Id cook. Improbable? I eat very little and only two meals a day - usually riceGasFuel: 100 though would depend on my location. I currently shell out about that much now, with a 30 minute commute.Pets: I eventually want to get a cat, but none as of right now.Hobbies: Mostly gaming MMOs - but almost never P2P ones. Im conservative when it comes to buying them, even with sales. Once in awhile Ill head to DC which means Metro, but usually never more than 100mo.My budget predictions are coming to roughly 1600-1700, which puts me at a negative. At the cheapest non-sketchy place Ive found so far, rent would probably be about 650mo with a roommate. Either way, it would leave me with almost nothing left, and I know how much people seem to like the 30 rule. Is this doable in any sense or fashion? What would be a feasiblerealistic salary to be mildly comfortable? Sorry for the long post...  <response>: and I know how much people seem to like the 30 rule Its for a reason, has nothing to do with like, and no you dont make enough.
