Looking to move into a 1b /1b by myself. First time renter but lived with roommates throughout college. This was "ok" but would like my own place as I work a lot and a quiet clean place would be nice.
Where I live, you won't find a 1b/1b located in a area that is not crime heavy for less then 1200, especially as its almost summer and rent is at a yearly high. Is this a good idea or do I need to get real and check myself.
I have no debt, and $26k saved. I've been lucky enough to be able to live at home for almost a year and just fully save which has been amazing. (no time rush on having to move either, just feel like its time).
Apartment monthly cost - $1380 / 13 months lease with 6 weeks free move in special.
Apartment is brand new, great location, pool, gym, car park, close to my work and great view.
$45,000/YR
If I hit all sales goals, $65,000
My monthly earnings:
Take home after taxes $3,200
monthly commission $500-1k / this has been the average for 1yr now
What I assume my monthly costs on average will be: (I have no pets)
Utilities $300
Gas $50
Food $300
Internet $60
Car payment $300
Renters Insurance $15
Car insurance $120
Total spent - $2525
Remaining
$665
It's coming down to quality of life in a nicer area vs saving $300~ a month basically.
