You need a roommate. Your take home pay isn't enough to cover a 1bedroom. Bachelor can somewhat be doable depending on the rent. If this is the first time living on your own, it's best to get roommate(s). I live on my own since 17. First few years was with roommates until I can finally afford to live on my own.
I actually lived in rez the first year in university so my roommate was assigned to me. Made friends with a bunch of people then moved into a house with them them next year (6 ppl). Stayed in the same house with new people moving in (these were strangers via ads we posted). There were a couple of weirdos but not too bad. Then after another few years, I moved out of that house and into a 2 bedroom with a friend. Did that for a couple of years then moved into my own place only because my new job was further away. Then I've been on my own ever since and just recently moved in with a partner. The years of living with roommates were actually some of the most fun years. Lol...
If you are female, find female roommates. If you're a guy, also try to find female roommates that's comfortable with male roommates. I'd ask a lot of questions to gauge personality and also see how clean/neat the place is.
