Really depends on your spending habits. I made less than 45 when I moved here, paid $1400 in rent for a one bedroom, cooked most of my meals, and was quite happy. For fun, I mostly enjoyed my own hobbies like biking and woodworking, etc, which can all be done on the cheap if you are dedicated.

Definitely not a pipe dream if you prioritize walkability and access to interesting things to do over lots of living space and eating out/going out a ton.
