And you're trying to also be a good saver to build long-term financial security, so you stow away the last $100 into a savings account.
Generally, financial experts suggest that you keep 6 months of pay as a safety net.
At this rate, it'd take this staffer 16 years to build that level of savings.
So, you're only left with about $6,200, i.e. $500 a month to pay for anything else.
OH! forgot to mention the student loan payments of $300/month.
And the dinner out with friends or coworkers once a month that will run up a tab of $100 (DC restaurants ain't cheap).
Okay, so you're at.. $100 left
That's roughly $28,000 for one year of rent. So that leaves about $10,000 left, más o menos.
Assume your groceries are conservatively $250/month... so $3,000 a year.
Let's add the commute, let's assume you're renting 20 min away in Silver Spring, your metro fares add up to ~$800 a year.
Just a reminder that staff assistants on the Hill are still only making like $45,000 a year.
After tax: ~$38,500
Assuming you live within a 30 min commute from the Hill, you're rent could be anywhere from $1,800 - $2,400/month.
Let's just assume it's $2,000/month for easy math.
Stay with me...
Parking minimums are ruining our lives. There has to be a better way.
Being back in the suburbs where you grew up and realizing that the concept of a “food desert” is incomprehensible for some people who have always been in well-resourced neighborhoods. 10 full-service grocery stores in a 3 mile stretch.
and yes you can still use your metrocard and cash! www.wmata.com/about/news/C...
New developments in local transit accessibility: you can now swipe your touch to pay credit card on a metrobus. This should improve ridership numbers and ultimately increase the total number of riders on system - leading to potential revenue boost in the system

Crime is not an inevitability. Poverty is not a given. Policy choices have a very clear and direct impact on communities, and jobs programs and workforce development can be the key to boosting community vitality and safety. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
The District is hoping to fill the gap where the federal government is falling short -- the Child Tax Credit is one of the most successful anti-poverty programs out there, but the federal program could do better.

The already dry low- to mid- income housing stock will get even more precarious. This could bolster the rights of homeowners over renters, which in DC, increasingly means protecting the property of millionaires over working class who struggle to get a foothold on wealth-building opportunities.
DC rolls back renters' rights by knocking down 2-4 unit buildings out of TOPA entitlement. May seem small, but this likely targets the plethora of English basements and other small unit buildings (think row house split into 3 levels and divided into apts) www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Just take the bus, you only need to wait 1 hour and transfer 3 times.

Dude imaginé living in this lil road bubble. Like, love to see that there’s tons of apartments popping up at a relatively high density for this area, but wow, you can’t walk anywhere outside of this trapezoid!!
Who will tattoo this on me
One of the cooler and more creative job postings I've seen!
Music festival forming at Franklin Park (McPherson Sq) - festival staff says no stage diving or moshing, have surrounded the entire park with staffers preparing for the evening (in the name of crime reduction)
Let’s just hope it doesn’t end up like union station bike hub www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...
Dare I say it the DC warped this year looks more legit than the LBC warped. I don’t know… there’s something about a fully paved treeless parking lot of an abandoned asbestos ridden NFL stadium that just screams “warped” that Long Beach can never fully fulfill. DC birthed hardcore for a reason.
Oh so you said you like Turnstile?
The difference framing and a light edit can make in your pictures.
If you told me in 2015 that this is what 10 years later would do for micro mobility access, I’m not sure if I would’ve fully believed you to be honest.
High speed rail could be the best thing to happen to America and you just don’t know it yet.
