It is well documented that 100k don’t go that far in DC. And this was before the current stupid inflation we are currently seeing nationwide.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...hardest-to-stretch-a-100000-household-income/

Do you even live in Maryland? DC/MoCo/PG is definitely more expensive than the Baltimore area and the Philly area. DC cost of living so high because of all the high paying federal jobs.

I couldn’t live in DC. Or Mo County. Or NoVa. Everybody pretentious as fukk. They think their college degree that would be worthless in any other job but their government job makes them the most sophisticated and smart person on the planet. They speak sarcasm like a second language and are low key disrespectful to everyone. People from MoCo and NoVa think they from DC. Nobody wants to be from Maryland. Black DC natives hate anyone who isn’t a black DC native unless hack the matrix and you manage to make friends with one.

People never snap out of office mode. All of the men like to dress like sleazy nightclub owners wearing suits without ties and shyt. People still drink like they are in college. The District is overrun by corny cac transplants from literally Iowa. Cacs in the DC area are insufferable and literally think being white as fukk and talentless is the key to success in life. Plus, DC gets whiter by the day. NYC and Cali are high priced because these places live up to the hype... the only reason people move to the DMV is to secure the bag with a fed job.

You can still live nice, but you aint buying a house or saving shyt!:scust:

10 years ago, you could have a nice 3bd 2.5bath 2 car garage Townhouse and a nice SUV or 50k car and still have money to dine out and shop and trick off. :blessed:

Now, not so much. Let's say you're making 100k, that's around 2600$ bi-weekly after taxes. So you have about $5,000 monthly to work with. A nice 1br about in $2000 + utilities. That's almost half of your earnings. I was told you should only use 30% towards housing. Good thing my car is paid off, so 2000$ a month wont kill me but it's hard paying that much in rent. That use to be a good mortgage. Maybe I should buy, but i'm hoping the market corrects itself soon.

I just moved back to DC last week from Louisiana. I don't know how all these people can survive these prices, must be a lot of shacking. I didn't come back up here to not be banking and saving. My house is paid for down there, so it's weird looking at this high azz rent. I haven't paid a mortgage or rent in years. I'll see how things go for a few months, if not well, i'm heading back South.

Where you from? How long have you been here? You sound like someone who moved here and was never really able to establish a good social circle :jbhmm:

DC is one of the more expensive areas in the country. 100k won't get you much out there. 100k now is nowhere near 100k in the 90s.

Where in PG, most places in PG that all close to DC are hood. I just left the hood in Louisiana. Fukk the hood, especially a hood i didn't grow up in. I am considering Silver Spring (still a bad commute to SouthEast). Might grab a Studio at the Harbor. I'm not trying to live in Upper Marlboro or Columbia. I would go to Alexandria, Arlington, but my women in Maryland.

This is why I'm good in the Midwest.

Even with inflation, a single person making 80k (or even someone with a kid) is living pretty good considering rent is usually under $1000.
