It's not only about how much you make but rather how much is left after all your bills are paid.
If your weekly pay check covers your monthly expenses then you're doing quite alright.
However the more you make the more you spend - that's the law of life you can't avoid.

Shall you stay at your current place? If you like where you are, people like you and you get lots of respect then perhaps why not?

Good luck.
