Also, if you're living in DC and your destination is in DC, metro fares are usually only about $2-3 even during rush hour. Even a monthly pass will cost less than $100 for that price range.
Yes. If you are going max distance like DC to Shady Grove or Ashburn, you'll pay $6 during rush hour, $3.85 outside rush hour, and $2 after 9:30 or on weekends. Traveling within DC a couple stops, it's basically $2.25 during rush and $2 outside of it, which isn't as noticeable.

$1000 is I think kinda low . Probably $1200-1400 more realistic .
$120 is what you pay for a much nicer gym than YMCA I think.
