I’d love to know your version of “just barely” is you have two adults working full time in a 2 person household.

Maybe your mortgage is far higher then I’m imagining.

I live in an apartment, but it’s overpriced, and it’s just me. This world is designed to be a 2 person household.

So I have to imagine you’re living beyond your means. I’m living beyond my means too, but I also don’t have a decent wage either. So living at all is living beyond my means.

You should add up your whole house income, divide that number by 4, and THAT number should be what your mortgage shouldn’t be higher than.

I suspect your mortgage is probably much higher than that number.

Either that or we have different definitions of “just getting by”.
