always spend 30% of your income on rent, regardless of other expenses.

Explanation:

Budgeting for rent should consider one’s financial situation. Spending without considering income (first option) or choosing a rental first then adjusting budget (third) or always 30% regardless of expenses (fourth) are not sound budgeting. The second option emphasizes basing rent affordability on personal finances, which is the correct approach to budgeting for rent.

Answer:

Determine the amount of rent you can afford based on your individual financial situation.
