The place that I'm planning to rent + utilities would cost around 1/3 of my net monthly income. Another 1/3 of my monthly income would likely go for food, fun and misc other expenses. So if my plans go well, I should be able to save up at least 1/3 of my monthly income every month.

Place is downtown and def worth the price. Do you think 1/3 for rent + utilities is too high?

How are the logistics of the place? You say it's downtown, but is it too far from the places you usually like to go out to?

It's less than 1km away from the subway (~10 min). I estimate at most 15-20 minutes away from the farthest bars/clubs in downtown. Place is on the last (6th) floor, new building, elevator, big balcony, nice view looking West.

Another place I'm considering is a bit cheaper, 5 mins from work, in a different part of downtown. Still 10 mins from subway and interesting spots. That one is in an older house where I would have a "roommate" on the same floor with me. The apartment is good but the bathroom is very small (no room for two people hehe) and kind of separate from the apartment which I don't like.
