It might help people be able to give you advice if you have a specific budget you plan on sticking with. Being “comfortable” is difficult to define, but people will be able to say whether its realistic for you to pay X for rent, Y for groceries, Z for transportation, et c every month depending on the area you want to live in.

I moved here from a town where my rent was $450 per month in 2020, so budgeting for city life was a major adjustment for me. I used to not spend much money on entertainment because there was never anything going on. Now that I live somewhere where there’s a million things to do, I spend a lot more on entertainment (mostly concerts). It would suck to move somewhere like DC and then never be able to go anywhere with an entry fee because you’re spending 90% of your income on necessities. Even if you’re fine living that way now, its different when your favorite singer is coming to a concert venue 2 miles from your apartment. (This is assuming you’re moving from somewhere with a lower cost of living, not Manhattan or something)
