[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She can do it. She just can't get a super fancy high rise apartment in a trendy neighborhood, unless she has roommates, and even then, those places are designed so that you are still paying out the nose. You can get a reasonable place close in for a reasonable amount, shared. Or she can go it alone and live in some place that's gentrifying - I hear Anacostia is getting some nice places now. I chose South Arlington and never left![/quote] This. Let her go on her own. She'll figure it out and hopefully thrive. [/quote] +2 Best learning experience ever. Moved to DC from southeast in 2006 on $42k salary. Lived alone in studio in Arlington. Took bus to metro and metro to work. Paid all my own bills AND had student loans. It was tight but it was fantastic. Let her do it.[/quote]
