I heard some-one say that one needs to spend 2k on rent to get something decent.

This is about needs, wants, luxuries and consumerism. Get what works.

The government of this land has published some financial formulas.
.
. I think these go as high as congress.
.
. Your entire housing payment should not be more then 1/3 of the cash you get (income after taxes)
.
. You entire debts (credit card debt, car payments and housing should not be more then 50% of you after tax income.
