Look in Vienna/Fairfax/Merrifield on Metro’s Orange Line, or Del Ray/Eisenhower Ave/South Alexandria on the Blue or Yellow Line. You won’t find much inside the Beltway at that price point, but just a little way outside is more reasonable.

Renting? Buying? Budget?

I was in an apartment in Alexandria and loved it. I was close to Old Town and it was a very convenient location but I could also go into DC whenever I wanted. I'm in Herndon now and I hate it - it's close to IAD which is nice but it's way too suburby for me

First gen, first year lawyer here. What do you do when you have family members who expect money from me every paycheck. I try to stand my ground but I get guilt tripped, especially when those family members were there for me.

It’s getting hard to save money when there is this expectation that I must give them money every paycheck. It feels like I have nothing for myself.
