This is BS. I was renting in BA (a 3br in Inner Richmond) in 2015 and my total spend without kids and with gf not making much at all (i.e. I paid for most of the good stuff like vacations and restaurants), calculated precisely by Mint, was about 70-80k a year. That includes 1-3 vacations a year in places like Italy, China, etc. Sure, in 2019 it would be 90-110k due to the rent, big deal. Wtf are the living expenses excluding rent and insurance that add up to 3k, do you eat foie gras every day in rural Kansas? Also, look up "marginal tax rate" and "effective tax rate".
