At 24 I can’t afford rent within an hour drive of my workplace. Average rent is $2700/mo (distribution is bimodal really, $2500ish and $3000ish). I could barely afford that if I was making twice what I do now
Where do you live? I am in MD and there are plenty of places that are under $1500 for a 1 bedroom. Still expensive, but nowhere near the number you are talking about.
Considering the cheapest place I could find in my hometown even 15 years ago was a room in somebody’s house with “occasional kitchen access” for $1k a month, this could easily be just about anywhere outside of the rural US.

I pay $800. Even if I move for a $10k raise, I’ll lose more than that paying rent somewhere where there are jobs.

I’m betting Canada.
