Currently a little over 50% of my income goes to rent+utilities, then there's still food+transport to deal with. I'd gladly take 30% as it would actually give me some room to save instead of living paycheque to paycheque.

If my income were to improve where 30% is unreasonable, I'd just move back to flat-rate renting as I am now.
