Considering that you're probably making something like $1,500/mo in some place where rent is $3,000/mo I'd say take every discount you can get.

I briefly looked into doing a doctorate. The economics of it turned me away right quick.

Living in the USA, my experience looking into this was similar. However, there are some doctoral programs in europe that are free even for international students, which is actually quite tempting.
