Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?

I am trying to make a decision. curious about your thoughts on my personal situation, and what you think in general. or your own stories if you have anything relevant...

It depends on where your priorities are. For me i would go for cheap\shitty place so long as it was safe enough and i wasn't going to be robbed all the time. Save the money and then go buy a place you really like when you can afford it better.

Want to emphasize this. You end up losing based on stolen goods or physical harm.

Not an issue in either of the areas I am looking at. I'm sure theft happens, but have never heard of it being a particular problem... the cheaper place isn't in a shittier area, and is still pretty rural.
