She makes 147k and lives in the Queens/Bronx where avg rent is ~2000 for 600 sqft and also has to have a place in Washington DC where average rent for a 1bd 1ba in ~2300 for 700 sq ft. She probably pays above average in for a larger place due to her job so let’s say 2.5k in her district and 3k in DC. After tax she has 1.85k/mo to spend on non-rent expenses including her student loans.
This is all napkin math and while she also probably has some paid speeches her overall budget after 2 rents isn’t too different from an average college grad without family help even if she makes decent money.
