I recently graduated from college and got my first full time job, but the commute is about ~1.5 hours. I got a pretty good entry level salary but living in the city is very expensive. The job is remote now but could be moving back into the office soon and I really am not up for the commute. But even with my salary, finding a rental that that only uses the recommended 33% of my income is nearly impossible with the high as heck rent prices. And I'm very aware how wages/salaries haven't kept up with the increased cost of living. So I'm wondering if spending 50% is the new 30% in 2021?
PS: I should also mention that I graduated college debt free and already have a good start to an emergency fund from working part time and living at home for the last year while job hunting for full time work in my field
