Congratulations on your job. 70k isn't much for the area in my opinion. It really depends on where you're working and living. Look for a roommate to maximize your money. I made the jump to DC from the Langley back in the summer of 04. It's been a great ride, but it's all about the money now and I'm looking to get out of IT. If you work hard and have a decent clearance six figures is not out of the question. Good luck.
