[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is in Virginia, so what's the going rate for a 1-bedroom in Arlington or Reston or Clarendon Courthouse? It doesn't seem like $2100 is unrealistic for a modest apartment in Northern Virginia. Telling him to move further out means higher commuting costs offsetting cheaper rents. 100k is not a lavish salary in DCUMlandia. It's pretty average. OP is middle class living on a budget. That's the reality of the income these days. He can cut back on some of his spending, especially takeaways, and maybe look at why his phone bill is so high, but other than getting a new job paying more there's not much more he can do. [/quote] Agreed. Having to budget and spend less on fun stuff so you can save for retirement is pretty classic middle class experience. I don't like the elision of this with "working poor."[/quote]
