Why not? In Virginia, for two people, that’s $7250 a month net of taxes assuming 10% goes to retirement. Even in DC it’s $7050. Can’t you rent something OK for two people for $2500 or so? That still leaves over $45k to live on after taxes, rent, and retirement. Seems doable.

You can’t get a decent 1 BR anywhere in DC/MD/VA for that? Particularly if, as a childless couple, you don’t care about the quality of the school district it’s in?

Is Zillow lying to me? Bump it to $3000 and the point remains essentially the same, btw.

Yeah the $3000 2BR floor plan looks nice and even the $2200-2700 1/2BR ones would be just fine for a childless couple. So why’d I get such grief above, lol.

a cursory zillow search indicates a 1br is VERY possible on studio. 2.5k gets you a pretty dope 1br. wtf not every coastal city is sanfranshithole

Do you like snobby white people? If so, then VA.

Do you like buckwild niggers and effete, homosexual whites? If so, then DC or anywhere in Maryland other than Howard County or Western Montgomery County (assuming you want to stay in DC area).

Do you like chill as FUCK Asians, Indians, and white libs? If so, then Montgomery County (stay West of Rockville Pike to avoid nigs).

On that income you can’t beat West Springfield or Springfield VA. Maybe Fairfax Station. YWIA. Invite me over for a BBQ once you’re settled.
