    • simple, rent is about $15,000/yr, which is 1/3 of $45K which is what you take home after taxes on $75Kmonospaced
    • the take home salary of $75k is $58,600 not $45K im not sure how mono does his math..epill
    • well, there's usually healthcare that comes out of a paycheck too, plus maybe a 401k as well. I'm being realistic heremonospaced
    • no way, $50k. i did it.doesnotexist
    • for what it's worth, realtors require renters to make at least 40x monthly rent... so $1300 would require 52k/yr.showpony
    • I'm going to guess $60k could do it.CyBrainX
