What lifestyle would your characters (present, in design, or past) maintain using the rules from the sprawl survival guide?

I think my Talismonger character would go for the following if he had the choice:
Space: Luxury(5) (for his enchanting shop, hermetic circle, ETC)
Security: High(4) (Good but not awakened, I can deal with that bit)
Furnishings: Low(2) (not one for flashy stuff)
Entertainment: Low(2) (again, he dosen't feel the need for anything fancy)
Comforts: Middle(3) (enchanting can be tiresome work)
Area: Middle(3) (don't want unnececary corp attention or too much vandalism)
This comes to 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 19 points
Which is a base of 5850 Nuyen per month.

Edges/Flaws
Manaline (In an ideal world) +0.3
Vigilant Security (Always useful) +0.15

This comes to: 0.3 + 0.15 = 0.45 edges worth which modifies the cost as such:
1.45 * 5850 = 8482.5 Nuyen per month.

Slightly expencive but a good all-rounder.
