$800 rent (which cant even get you an apartment here) would be ~20% of a 40K year job. Now add in CCs and car loans...
Not necessarily.
I only make 1-2k a month, but live fine because I don't EVER use credit. I own my house outright, my cars outright, etc. My only monthly payments are my tax portion, utilities, food, insurance, etc.
So I have very low income, but also very low debt to income ratio.
