[quote=Anonymous]You need to decide what you want. This is an expensive area. When I graduated I wanted to work in non profits. I couldn’t afford to live where I wanted and do that so I moved to the middle of nowhere with a low cost of living and got enough experience so I could move back to DC and afford to live here. I’d picked up a boyfriend (now husband) along the way, so the second income helped. I could have stayed here and lived in a group house and wait tables after work (a lot of my friends did that) or have an insanely long commute but I didn’t want that. I wanted my income to cover rent and eating out occasionally and a modest vacation (or to attend a friends wedding) once in a while. There is no having it all, there are choices all along the way. From taking out student loans to where you want to live to how big of a house you buy - there’s a sacrifice and a benefit to each option. Don’t eat out because you think what difference will $15 make if houses are so expensive, lay out your options and make intentional choices. Make wise choices based on facts. Don’t let life happen to you and 20 years later wonder how you got where you are. [/quote]
