How much should I pay in Rent?
drumcmanus47 asked:
I’m looking to rent a 2 bedroom house with all utilities included (gas, water, electric, cable tv and high speed internet) for $1000 a month. currently I bring home after taxes $1800 a month. I have zero debt, I don’t have car payments or credit card payments, my health insurance at work is free and I don’t have to make payments for that. I spend about $200 a month on food/misc/ent expenses. $80 on gas and $77 on insurance.

After all this I calculated that I would have about $410 left over every month.
I feel this would work for me but I just wanted a second opinion.
Also forgot to mention that my longtime girlfriend will be living with me and will be able to contribute about $200-$300 monthly.
