Question to those who rent

The popular theory is apartment rent should not be higher than 1/3 of net income.

To those of you who rent, does this hold true?

My rent-proper is 1/4 of my net (I have a freakishly good deal), but tack on the ridiculous utility/phone bills and it tops 3/4 of my income. I really just barely get by. But I still don't want to move.
