Reply to comment by PurpleVermont in Can I afford $2800 rent based on my financial situation by irishgirl249

Not sure how much one could save with over half of the income including commission going to rent. Also the 4 months savings is RENT ONLY essentially. What about food? Utilities? Transportation? Etc. I think half of anyone’s income on rent is crazy especially when that’s counting commission income. But I don’t know the industry so maybe it’s more stable then I think.

If that 2500 minimum net commissions isn't reliable, then that's more risky. I'm taking OP at their word that it ranges between 2500 and 5K/month in commissions and they can more or less count on at least the minimum.
