[quote=Anonymous]14:48 here. I think it's worth pointing out that the OP is exactly the demographic that all these new condos going up in Mid City are targeting. Sure, he doesn't HAVE to spend $3,500/mo on an apartment, utilities and amenities, but he's a young, single professional. There is a building that I pass often on my commute down 14th Street that has a rooftop pool and a great view. If I was the OP, I would totally want a rooftop pool and a great view. He can afford those things, and if he wants to spend gobs of money on a personal trainer and a really fancy apartment that's walking distance from everything, or if he wants to have a spacious and separate-from-bedroom-or-living-room home office (which I would, if I ran a business from home), there are certainly buildings in DC that will accommodate that.

It sounds to me like the OP is saving plenty of money. Could he save more? Sure. But the chastisement for spending money on good quality clothing or expensive housing or organic food or a personal trainer is pretty hollow, given the SES of many people who post on this board. It does not automatically make you a better person to cut cable and shop at TJ Maxx.[/quote]
