$80k and single in DC

Anonymous
If you were sure you’d be single forever, would $80k be enough to support yourself reasonably well in DC?

Totally depends on the lifestyle. If you are not a big spender and good with managing money, then yes it’s doable.

If you had a rent controlled studio in a non WOTP building and didn't own a car, you'd be able to save some money and contribute well to your 401k. You wouldn't be able to purchase housing, condo or single family, without substantial financial help from family. WOTP housing would probably be affordable but a stretch on your income.

It's plenty IMO. If you're reasonably frugal, you can live alone. If you're wanting to go out and spend more, I'd get some roommates.

I earn that and support myself and my teenager so you’ll be fine.
