You're going to be spending like 50% of your take home pay on a non-great apartment ($1700-$1800 rent) at that income. It's doable, but it's going to be tough to get ahead and save unless you have really low expenses.

Yep. I made around 60k back in 2011 or so and lived in a cheap apartment. I was doing OK while putting some money away in a 401k, but it wasn't amazing. I also had no major debt, which made things easier. But, 12 years later on that salary, that's going to be rough unless you live with multiple roommates or can find a cheap place to live.
