Then there is also the cold hard fact, "Do you make enough to pay the rent and all of the bills that are associated with it?"
At my place we pay:
$1656 Rent
$40 Gas
$78 Cable and internet and phone
$80+ power
$28 Garbage
$~40-70 Water and sewage.
Then there is my personal expenses:
$380 Car payment
$80 Cell phone
And you still need money left over for food and gas money.
It adds up fast. Just make sure you think about all of the expenses you have write them all down on paper, ask your friends what they pay for gas, electric and cable, and then add your half of the rent and any other expenses you have, if you dont make at least double that per month, i would say start looking for a new job because you will not like the way you will be living. Ramin every night gets to be pretty gross. Believe me because i have been there.
