<prompt> Human: What kind of rent am I looking at for a studio thats affordable?  <response>: 50k in DC will not get you far. You should be looking in to living with roommates. Average apartment costs for one bedrooms can be close to 2k, and studios are priced similarly. If youll be making around 3k a month after taxesdeductions, close to 60 of your income would be going towards rent. You should only be spending around 25-30 tops on rent.Unless you are willing to live well outside of the DC metro area and can afford a long commute, you should look in to roommates.Source: have friends that lived in DC metro area.
