[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2006 I made 60K working three jobs. Lived in a studio in an old building near Dupont Circle. Bought a 1-br condo in Trinidad that same year. I find it mindboggling that you can't make ends meet on 70K when single. [/quote] I find it mindboggling that you aren't aware of changes in DC's housing market over the past twelve years, not to mention the increase in education costs leading to more student loan debt. Nonetheless, I think it's very possible to live on $70k as a single person. Yes, you might be in a studio instead of a 1br, or not in a brand-new building, or not saving a ton for a down payment, but actually living? Absolutely doable.[/quote] Condos of the kind that I bought are now selling for maybe 40 to 50K more. The OP is making 10K more than I used to make back then. She or he can also do what I did and get a second job. [/quote]
