Neighborhood Info Guide

Neighborhood Info Guide: "Conservative
budgets suggest allocating between 25% - 35%
of income for housing expenses. The following
table illustrates how much you can spend on
rent based on your annual income."

So, it looks like I should be looking for something between $600 and $875/month max to be within reasonable affordable housing limits... that sounds like a lot for an apartment. I don't want to stretch it too thin, what if I suck at managing my money? But then again, being cheap I always seem to end up with a horrible apartment or a crazy roommate, so maybe spending a little to get a little isn't such a bad idea?

If you haven't committed to Wrigleyville yet, you might want to look into Wicker Park. It might be easier access to CSSI (although much farther from the lake).
