[quote=Anonymous]You can afford it, and you're right that people do it on less. But I'll disagree that the most important thing is to increase your savings. I think you should focus on one or both of you getting higher paid jobs. The reason DC is so expensive is because this is where the jobs are. From your OP, you both have college degrees and a network with people who make much more money in it. The pandemic lockdown might not be the best time to go on interviews, but you should be keeping in touch with your contacts to stay on their mind and thinking of ways you can move your career in a more highly-compensated direction. Brainstorm. Are there people with your degrees who make a bunch more money? What do they do? Has anyone from your company made a good career move you can use as inspiration?[/quote]
