Money is relative, $500 a month is nothing. It will take a year of savings to pay the deposit if he ever has to move out, or to cover the rent if he ever gets unemployed.

You're talking about things that have nothing to do with my comment.

But, on your point - you did the math wrong. He has $12,000 discretionary income not $6,000. He likely already paid his last month's rent of $2,500, and he already mentioned savings. So, it makes no sense for you to infer that it will take him a year to move if he loses his job.
