Are exclusive social clubs in DC worth the money? I just realized how expensive it is after going through the whole application process ($4k initiation fee and $3.5k annual membership fee). Initially I was interested because I wanted to meet new people and make friends but not sure if it’s worth that much money. Does Equinox or any other clubs offer any similar social events?

Lol, sounds like a scam. At least country clubs provide real services and benefits

For that price you might as well go to graduate school- get a certification AND get into a good group/ network.

I've heard the one on the Hill is a great way to set you up for life, but depending on where you're coming from, it can cost in the tens of millions to get in

“Set you up for life” how? 🤔

I’ve met better friends at Harris Teeter

Very cool!

Yeah also keep in mind the type of people you’ll be surrounded by/if you would want them as your friends (people with thousands of $$ to spare). I’ve made a lot of friends through volunteer work, which is free!

What club is it?

D1 - that can be found at almost any city/country club. Hard to ignore them since their loud, but it’s their personality (not their clubs). They would do the same about their CrossFit gym/“box”/cult 😂.

I’ve met some great people, but some like the ones you mentioned. The beauty is you can bound with the others from the mutual disdain from those “members” 😂

In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.

Homeowners- how did you decide what neighborhood to buy in? I love the Arlington area (rosslyn thru ballston), but my husband would rather have more of the city experience. I’m open to seeing other neighbors but this is my wishlist:
