part 1:

Look online and find an apartment you would like to rent. Calculate the cost of utilities, services, maintenance, and insurance to rent the apartment.

I found an apartment in Chicago that I would like to rent. The monthly rent is $900, but there are other fees for me to consider as a renter. Utilities (electric, water, cable, internet access, etc.) cost $300 a month. Building services, including parking and access to the gym, cost $50 a month. Maintenance fees for the building are $25 a month. Renter’s insurance is $12. The cost of living independently in this Chicago apartment is $1,287 a month.
