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.
shyt been like that. Charles County is calling you my brother.:mjlol:

The majority speak Amharic (or Tigrinya) not Oromo e-grow. Especially the types you get in the USA.

And you don't need to speak the language. You just need to know how to talk to them. I spent 7 months in Ethiopis so I do.

lol.. and we aint talking Waldorf. More like LaPlata at this point.

Waldorf getting so crowded. My mom lives out Waldorf "retired"
I grew up in Waldorf.
It went from being white people and trees to constant rush hour traffic.
Now theres shootings, home invasions, and liquor store robberies.

There used to be 1 or maybe 2 murders per year.

High School students are now shooting at each other and getting caught bringing guns to school.
Thomas Stone is getting pretty wild.
They want to be Baltimore so bad.
:mjlol:

This is true, but Im single.
What if I never get married?
Should I just rent my entire life and never own a home?
No. You should put in the effort and try to get married. It's always easier with a partner.

Us black folks love using the phrase "Generational Wealth" but don't want to do what's needed to actually make generations

It doesn’t stretch as far but it’s enough to live comfortably if you temper your expectations. If someone has a lot of debt, that’s another story.

I make 125...it ain't shyt. Especially if you're contributing fully to your 401k/TSP like I am.

That's $800 biweekly.
$500 monthly to an IRA.
Rent is 2300.

They trying to make me go back to the office so that's more gas I have to pay for.
