I've discovered that at the end of the day no one really gives a shit what kind of place you live in (unless its a dump or a super pimped out pad. pool & gym in a condo dont qualify as pimped out).
Weirdly enough I pulled in more tail living in a shared loft situation than a 2br fancy condo all to myself....
My philosophy has been, no more than 25% of net income for a rental place (i'm paying ~15% right now). I went for a pretty expensive rental place a few years back... was way more than I needed and it was too draining on the finances. I'd much rather have more cash in the pocket/to play/invest/take dance yoga etc classes than live in a more expensive place.
