$850/month on rent when you bring in $2000/month is not a good situation.

So many things will take a backseat. Healthy eating, doctor visits, reliable transportation, insurance, etc.

It almost becomes an existential problem.

You can find nice 1 bedrooms or studios for $650 a month. You can have room mates. If your girlfriend/spouse works then you have two incomes for rent.

Healthy eating, doctor visits, reliable transport, etc, are not actually that expensive for two people who are both employed. I live on a tight budget despite making a lot of money (because I want to save and retire young) and I still live very comfortably. If I had a partner with even a minimum wage income, that'd be a lot more money to play with.
