Just get the cheapest place that will do.... 95% of people don't "entertain" or have "parties." For attracting Women, all that matters if phenotype so where you live is inconsequential. Have you learned nothing from Fight Club? Did you SEE where Tyler Durden lived?

2) Being in a nice place makes me feel good. Call it womanly, but that's me.

2. Then you pay that premium.... it's like having a "nice" "car." Is it $6k after taxes and 401(k) contributions?

This is very cr. Get the quietest and convienent place you can for your buck. I had a quiet place for the last two months and I never want to go away from that.

Don't fall for "luxury" convienences, you need quiet.

You're in a city? Stay away from the trash ppl or have THICK WALLS

About $1800 in rent and $200 in utilities max

Ideally, you’d keep it to about $1500 in rent and 200 in utilities

If you’re just using the 30% of take-home pay rule of thumb, then that’s clearly too much, but IMO, that rule breaks down at either end of the bell curve. If you earn a lot of money, you still have a shit ton left over after rent, even if you devote 59% of your pay to housing.

The question is your case is what your other expenses are like, and whether your savings are on track. Generally speaking, you should be saving as much as possible while young. I’d cut back to 3k on rent, if I were you, and save more to someday wagecuck less

Great and correct answer - I could probably cut down extraneous expenses by $1,000 or more monthly and add even more savings. Rent is the less obvious place to cut for me

That’s fine. Cut where you can. You don’t have to cut everywhere, unless you’re in real financial difficulty or super saver mode
