Feeling Stressed: Can I Afford $2400 Rent on My $60k Income?

I'm really struggling here. With rent eating up nearly 40-60% of my income, the 30% rule feels impossible. How can I justify spending so much on rent? Can I really afford $2400 a month on a $60k salary? I'd love some advice or validation on this situation.
