$3-$3.5K prob? But depends on how much that TC is base vs bonus/RSUs.

like

I’d do at least $3k. $2500 is gonna be slim pickings in that area and you’ll probably be at risk of not having parking or communal laundry unless you find a diamond in the rough

Lol and here I am dropping 5K on rent lol

funny

Yeah just the reference to 5K, shit is just expensive nowadays lol.

No more than $2,700. Absolute max.

Damn, that’s what my partner and I pay in Westwood w/ TC (combined) of $140k

Debt-free at 250K is a good place to be. I would be looking to buy, and if I don’t have the down payment saved up, I’d be living with the cheapest rent I could tolerate in order to save up.
