[quote=Anonymous]OP, don't let people talking about saving and retirement and buying a home bog your down. You're not gonna do those things on 89K in DC. It won't happen. But if you're young and if you plan to move up or move out in a few years, you can absolutely get by if you budget and live within your means. Strongly consider living in DC in a neighborhood where 2br apartment is under 2K to take advantage of free preschool, and remember to keep your eyes on the prize, which in your case would be a higher paying job(s) or lower cost of living city in a few years. If you can live in the cheap and keep an emergency fund of 2K around (which may take a few months to build up) you will live day to day just fine assuming your housing and day care isn't excessive.
