Damn... some of yall trying to spend 50% of your total income on housing when you are pulling in less than $30K gross a year?
I thought most of NT was young and likes to go out and have fun. If you are spending half of what you make on an apt, you better pay for a good internetconnection cause youre going to be spending a lot of time on NT as your primary form of entertainment. I understand that different people make differentsalaries and there are different factors that come into play, but if you make $1,500/mo and people are telling you that you should be straight spending $750/moon rent.... good luck brother.
This is how I see it
$1,500
- $700 rent
- $100 cable + internet + utilities
- $200 ($50 x 4 weeks approx) groceries
- $50 cellphone bill
= $450 leftover for the month
If you still have a shoe habit you better cut that pronto. With only $450/mo after your fixed monthly costs, how you gonna save for the future, contribute toyour 401K or Roth-IRA or do anything to set yourself up for when you're older? Hell... how you even gonna take a girl out to dinner and a movie with thatkind amoney?
