Okay, but what if you don't split rent evenly? E.g, your apartment is $5k, but because of income differences with your partner, you pay $3.5k and your partner pays $1.5k? Then what do we choose, 3.5k or 2.5k? I feel like I should pick what I, the one in biglaw, is paying since that is what is actually relevant here—but wanted to clarify.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 3:32 pm(if you split $5000 with your partner/roommate, choose $2500)

Doable for a midlevel iff their loans are paid off.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 4:04 pmGenuine question for the people paying >$4K/month (~$50K/year) in rent: how much money are you able to save / put into retirement accounts each year? Do you consciously cut back other expenses like dining out, etc., to offset your high rent?
