[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op you can find a nice little house in Wheaton for your budget. You won’t be in cool takoma park but will be close ish to a metro either Wheaton or Glenmont[/quote] Agree with this. My parents live in a modest house close to glenmont which you could definitely afford on $140K. $70K is plenty of money for living expenses, so you are either living well or saving a ton/paying a ton on your student loans. I lived on $40k my first few years in DC and still managed to save a few thousand each year. I lived well-enough, had my own tiny walk-up studio apartment ina great neighborhood, did happy hour drinks once a week, had a car, gym membership, bought one $2 coffee each day, etc. I was paying student loans off on a 10 year plan. I did not go out to eat very often, vacations only to visit family, very thrifty shopping, etc. I do remember feeling like saving up for a down payment was years away, though, so maybe that’s where you are coming from.
