Where did you get 1K for rent? I live in CT and my rent is approx 3K for 1 bedroom + den. Income is a bit higher than OP (10K more annually).

~1k is what a studio costs in Seattle. I pay ~1400 for a large 2 bedroom.

From the "$1000/mo or more" in the comment I was replying to. The "or more" adds lots of wiggle room, but it goes both way: he might be paying more, but he surely has the option of paying less. Moving to cheaper digs is one obvious way to help out your budget.
