We all want the best of everything but does your budget allow that? In this case, adapting a realistic approach is important.
According to the “rule of thumb”, your monthly rent should not exceed more than one-third of your monthly pay.
In addition to the rent, you need to pay for other expenses such as the bills which include electricity, gas and heating, cable and internet, miscellaneous expenses, and food.
Some places come with cost-free parking while others require you to pay for the parking spot. Don’t forget to include all these essentials in your budgeting checklist.
