The generally accepted
maximum amount you should pay for rent is 1/3 of your gross income. So, if your gross income is $1600 a month, the most you should be paying is $533. Start paying more than that and you're likely to start sinking further and further into debt.
Sounds like you can't afford your own apartment and will need a roommate situation. I know that sucks. But living payday to payday and/or sinking into a debt spiral is worse.
