If you’re a newer grad, <30% pre-tax. I, however, think that’s crazy high. I wouldn’t recommend anyone pay $2k for a one bed when you can do so many other things with your money early on to be comfortable later.

I listened to the 30% as a new grad and am kicking myself each time I pay my $1875 rent monthly when I sleep there 12 nights. Save that cash and get a cheaper place

Additional Posts in Chicago Consulting

How can I "live downtown" for a few months? I live in north Chicago now with my partner, but I've always wanted to try out the downtown, walk to work, city life. Is there an affordable way for me to do that short term just as a bucket list thing? I'll keep my current apartment, just get an additional thing for little bit. The closest thing I've found is summer student housing for schools in the city. Get 1 furnished bedroom in a 4 bed place. Any other options?
