Senate press secretaries earn less than $50k? That’s ridiculous. You need more money than that just to be homeless in DC.

Welcome to the real world. In the rest of America, guess what kind of look you get if you tell an employer to pay you based on what “you need”.
They care what value you generate for them and almost nothing else. And you can do fine in DC on 50k. Oh, you may not buy a classic charming house like you see in the movies, stylishly furnished, go for 150 dollar haircuts, eat out every night, etc. You might drive a crappy car, you might live a distance out, with roommates.
But that’s what the rest of the world already does.
You can probably make more money being 'homeless' in DC.
