Can Marketing Managers afford to live in Jasper County, IN?
The 30% rent guideline
A common rule of thumb says rent should stay under 30% of gross income. For a gross salary of $165,340 that ceiling is $4,134 a month.

Another way to see it: at $57.22 of take-home pay an hour, a one-bedroom takes about 4.2 working hours every week.
Splitting a two-bedroom
Sharing a two-bedroom at $1,349 a month means $675 each. Compared with renting a one-bedroom alone, that saves $4,278 a year. With a roommate, the yearly margin after the basics becomes $104,135.
How fast you can save
At $8,321 a month of margin, building a $10,000 emergency fund would take about 2 months. Setting aside half of the margin stretches the same goal to about 4 months. These figures ignore interest, raises and any spending beyond the four basics.
