Nonsense. $100k a year in DC (with a 15% 401k contribution) nets you $4910 a month. More than enough to live in a decent building in DC.

The average 2 bedroom apartment in Thomas Circle residential area of DC is $3600-3800 month + utilities. Plus car payment, garage, parking, health insurance, renters insurance, food.
As I said $100k in DC is not much and you would have to live in a apartment in a lesser area to get by and with roommates.
I lived there for 10 days. Everything is outrageously priced. Food was 50% higher in stores than in my flyover state for same exact item
EZ pass going into DC will rack you up hundreds per month.
My sister and BIL live in the outer belt They bought a condo for $600k 20 years ago and it was not anything to write home about.
Don’t compare Michigan prices to DC
