As noted in thread title: Is about $2400 a month enough to get by in DC? how about $1500? Anyone know enough about the standard-of-living there to have some insight?

...this was supposed to be a serious thread.

...would a mod mind moving this to OTC? That might help.

Well, if you're not planning on living extravagently, you ought to get by. It's not as bad as say, New York, but it's still a major city.

Why are you asking on an international forum where the majority of people still live with their parents?

Because low nonzero probability > zero probability.

One person with legit experience in DC = too small sample size.

Yeah, I know, this thread is an F if I tried submitting it for a stats class sampling survey exercise.

Moved to OTC.

And some data to work with:

  • search the Washington Post rental listings.

  • DC cost of living comparison chart]]

You could get by, but it'd be in a shitty part of the city. Keep in mind too, DC used to be the homocide capitol(lol) of the US, not sure if it still is.
