One way to look at it is "can you afford it overall between now and then" rather than looking at each month independently. Another question is what's the hit from breaking the lease early?

Future life lesson - don't rent an apartment with a girlfriend if you can't afford it alone. (Good advice for both sides of that - you really never want to be dealing with a situation where either person feels stuck for financial reasons.)

Can you explain what you mean by “can you afford it overall”?

And yeah I’ll have to look into what would happen if I break early because I have some friends who are looking to move now, but I really do love this apartment so that’ll hurt.

And yeah- it was stupid lol

By "overall" I mean "if you view your total income and rent between now and the lease end" instead of viewing it in terms of each month.
