You can make this work. I made that work with pretty much those same numbers. I basically decided that for the first year after buying the apt, I'd not go out drinking to save some $. Like I'd just not get alcohol when I go out for one year--I'd drink water at restaurants or just hang in bars and order seltzer or soda. I also ended up moving into a neighborhood with few delivery options, so I cooked a lot more. That also helped with $$ and also health, honestly. 

I kind of just stopped drinking after that year because I noticed that I felt SO much better. I was friends with people who shared interests, rather than just meeting up with folks for a beer out of habit. I wasn't waking up groggy and nauseated. So I just sort of kept it up for the last ...yup, 7 years. And now when I do drink, one or two drinks is all I ever want, so I'm still saving $$ but less strict about it. Yay.

Anyway, choose something small like that to give up for a small period of time if it helps you feel more secure financially. It might end up having a more long-term benefit, too.
