I'm totally fine living with roommates, yeah. Since it's supposedly low-risk I could potentially continue with side businesses like my writing and music production?

Thanks. Yeah, I'd be fine living in a group house if I had decent access to a Metro.. not sure if those two go hand-in-hand, but still. I'm unable to drive, is the kicker.

I know its expensive, but you know what that says to me? There's some actual opportunity. Where I'm living I am housebound, and most people are lucky to earn 14/hr. If it's less than what I made, I'll just grit my teeth and work my way up. I just can't see another way out after barely clearing $300/week the last 3 yaers.

I would be open to living with roommates, if that's what it takes. I would be working in Northwest DC. I have been making a horrible salary here, and basically see this as my chance out, even if it is super low pay for a 25 year old, it's double what I made last year.

I have been making next to nothing here for the last three years. After 120 applications this is the first one to give me an interview. Is it possible to live even with roommates at this point in the area, or is 50k the bare minimum now?
