Congratulations on your engagement! Median individual income is about 50k. That corresponds to a monthly take home pay of about 3k/month. If you are very careful, you should be able to live on that in most of the country. I'm in Chicago, and it is doable here, but yes not comfortable. I know someone who does it with slightly less.
To your point, it was much more comfortable to live on three median individual income 5 years ago, and probably even more so 10 years ago. Fiat is terrible.
