She's putting it in simple terms for the non-horologists. Like when she explained clocks to Elliot.

Well, both Brun and Renee have jobs that seem relatively secure. I can't see them affording anything too elaborate but you never know!

We can wonder, but I doubt we'll see much about that from Jeph. Money for basic living expenses never seems to be an important or ongoing issue in QC's universe. The closest we've come recently is Faye and Bubbles being concerned about the viability of their shop, but if that's still a concern, they're not talking about it on-screen. Nobody who wants a job seems to be unemployed for long, and the jobs, which could be expected to be fairly low-paid (barista, university library intern, etc.), seem to support a reasonably comfortable if not luxurious lifestyle. In that way it's like a lot of TV sitcoms.

This site seems to suggest about a month's rent, with a little left over for bagels,

Well, rent should be from their regular income, if the rental is to be sustainable. But you need money up front for a security deposit and any fees, and I assumed that was what Brun was thinking of.

Well, I was just going on basic affordability and amounts without actually reading the lease (of which I've signed a few in my day, along with the appropriate checks/cheques) and didn't wish to bog down the post in details.

Plus furniture for the new apartment (Brun doesn't have a bed, for instance).

I don't know about the US, but rentals here in the UK are often furnished.
