They might be inexpensive where you live. I've paid more than half of my paycheck for my bicycle, and it's one of cheaper ones.
Gift a man a bike, and he will ride for a year. Gift him bolt cutters, and he will ride forever.
Jokes aside, where are you? Here, good new bikes are ridiculously expensive, but if you know where to look and what to look for, used ones are cheap. You don't even have to deal with a shady dude in a back alley, a lot of municipalities etc. auction off bikes they confiscate, which are often a few hours of work away from being pretty okay
I am from Poland. The bike cost me about ~$500 with accessories. I know that I could get a used bike, but I would rather have a new one since it is my first one for a long time and I don't really know much about bikes in the first place (at least for now).
Also keep in mind that I had a minimal wage in my last job, and the average salary is like 2x more.
I hope that you have a better job right now, Polish minimum wage is rough.
