Yo /biz/, care to assist me with making a housing decision?

Tldr?

Yah, that should be fine. But I'd just be concerned about the lack of savings. My ratio is currently 37% after tax. It was 60% while I was living in San Francisco (which was not fine btw).

I'd just ask yourself if its really worth it. Is a nicer apartment really worth the extra $8100 a year??

Personally, I'd want that savings number at about 15+ grand before I'd consider moving.

I make slightly less than you, pay a couple hundred more in rent. I think you should stay where you are unless it's unbearable, but if it is try not to go too far past 900/mo. don't fall for the luxury apartment meme, I'll lose all respect for you, and you will for yourself.

>Currently making 3300/mo, after taxes.
>I also have about 5k in savings.
if you have been in that job for more than 3 months, fucking stay where you are.

My spare cash usually goes towards paying down student debt. I would have more if I wasn't paying triple my required monthly payment.

keep paying down the loans, don't move until you are literally being woken up by roaches and rats

>>1255237
Do mice count...?

>>1255227
Why?

>>1255241
no, gotta be rats or roaches. everyone has mice.

Because I'd rather decrease my debt load now. I have my 401k contributions maxed, so it's not like I don't also have at least some money being invested.

>>1255249
As long as you are investing... people often pay down low interest rate debt at the expense of high returns elsewhere.

By maxing your 401k do you mean $18000/year or just getting the maximum company match?

>>1255271
No... Fuck I should be doing that. I meant maximum company match.
