I got a new job, I'm single, 30, no kids, no car payment, no student loans, around 3k credit card debit..
My net income is going to be around 4,800 a month this year (after IRA up to matching, Taxes, Medicare, SS...etc)
What's a reasonable amount to spend on housing (rent+utilities etc)? I've been living in kinda dumpy places since college and I'm wanting rent a nice house or condo with some amenities for my first six months or year to be sure this job sticks and then buy. My new boss is pushing me to go ahead and buy but I would prefer to wait?
