We have similar incomes and I have about $7k/month coming in after taxes/insurance/social security/etc so I am assuming you do to. So if you rent something for $2500, that leaves you with $4500 for food, utilities, debt payments, cars, and everything else less essential. I would suggest that you stay put and aggressively attack your debts and then look for a new place when you can leverage all of your income because of the expensive market.
Or....One or both of you look for better paying jobs so you have more money coming in.
This sounds like sucky advice but I'm a random dude on the internet so take it all how you please.
