[quote=Anonymous]With a gross salary of $85k, your net monthly take home is $5k - that’s before factoring in health insurance, metro card, 401k, etc. Then factor in rent and utilities and basic cost of living (food, laundry). Hidden costs like shampoo, conditioner, and laundry detergent are more expensive. Is it doable? Of course it is, and people certainly survive on less. There is also tons to do there that is lower cost and deals to be had. Husband and I lived there in my early 30s at roughly $300k and found it annoying because everything seemed so expensive compared to DC and we couldn’t save as much as we wanted to. [/quote]
