You guys have money??
I’ve been working my arse off my entire adult life and have nothing to show for it but debt and long term illness.
I actually got bucket loads of free time after finishing my studies, I didn’t know what to do with it. Like why does everyone always act like students have time? It’s a full time job plus you have to do projects and homework.
where do adults have money?
This is warm fuzzies level of jpg
This is quite centered around hetero dudes, which I find sad.
old
money 100
doubt
I invite op to Turkey
Ive always thought thsoe graphs were bullshit, im a college student and I have no time, energy, or money. I feel like this will not change drastically as i age lmao
Depends on Major, I have more time as a Worker than I did in College. More energy, too.
Im a physics major so it is likely my own doing
I read your first comment and thought “I wonder if they’re studying physics too, this sounds way too relatable”. lo and behold
hang in there!
Keep at it! Physics is cool as hell!
right but my github commits number is off the chart

Most old people don’t have that much money. Many UK pensioners freeze in their homes every year.
My wife and I make a decent income between the two of us, and we nearly froze to death winter before last! £500pcm+ to keep our house at like 10°C, absolute madness.
That’s wild, how big is your house? My monthly spend on heating is 1/4 of that during winter to keep it at 21.
Single glazed everything, shoddy extension that’s falling to bits, and no insulation anywhere, 12ft ceilings and also our boiler is shit. It’s a two bedroom Victorian terrace, ground floor. Fighting with Edinburgh Council to get approval for a much needed renovation, but even though the category of listing our home is literally only covers the front facade, our really quite modest renovation plan would “be a detriment to the character of the neighbourhood”. Our upstairs neighbour also paid significantly less that winter…but they got approval to rip all their floors up and install insulation and double glazed windows.
What the fuck. That sounds personal
That’s rough :(
Britain got it so bad with the natural gas prices in the last few years.
I’m from Vancouver, Canada, so everything seemed so cheap when I moved to the UK…except natural gas and electricity. Like I held the lease and had all the utils in my name for a house when I lived in Canada, 14 people, all gamers. And the bills in winter were less than half what my wife and I were paying this past winter.
Lmao, no.
Go work a job in a different industry before thinking you have it so tough.
Programmers make more money, have more vacation and free time, and consequently typically have stabler lives, than literally every single other professional industry.
Also their careers grow faster and steadier even in a recession, changing jobs is easier and comes with a significant pay raise each time, and they mostly don’t have to deal with costumers.
Nah, I took a pay cut at my new job from where I was laid off due to the recession.
Thank god we don’t have to deal with costumers, imagine what outfit you’d have to wear to deal with them. And to make it work you’d probably have to wear make up too, it’d feel like halloween everyday.
I like the joke but I suspect the levels for “young programmer”, “adult programmer”, and “old programmer” would all look a lot like “programmer”. It’s true at least in my case. The occupation does seem to attract the more spicy-brained among us. 😆
✔️reduced interaction with people (mostly)
✔️work with systems with well defined rulesThat might be what I believe when I started but it’s so far from the truth…
Only if you plan to let your career stall out at Senior Engineer.
Don’t stop I’m almost there. 😆
Almost, in camada, adult would half money bar set to 50% max
I mean, American programmers seem to make a ton.
Yes but they live in places that cost a ton, and then get fired with no notice.
I live in rural Pennsylvania but I work remotely for a San Francisco startup.
I get paid less than my coworkers who live in big cities, but more than any of my friends who live in my area except one who’s also a programmer.
That’s the best possible outcome. We’re super lucky in this industry because we have the best paying remote work opportunities out there. Before you couldn’t get an SF job in a LCOL area, and even with a COL adjustment, you are still making closer to an SF salary than a rural Penn salary.
Agreed to the part about job security being terrible in the U.S, but it’s worth mentioning that the premium you get in income for living in for example San Francisco far outweighs the cost of housing.
If you think programmers make less than other jobs then you’re totally out of touch.
Yeah but all the other jobs don’t leave you with crypto debt up to your eyeballs. I have $83k in credit card debt that I used to buy LUNA.
Hmm, yes. This reasoning is perfectly sound.
That’s your jobs fault?
Pretty sure you can lose all your money in a casino regardless of how you earn it
Not all programmers live in the US. In the UK, especially outside of London, the pay is surprisingly bad.
Yes, but the pay for other jobs is even worse!
My wife is a teacher. Her pay was mostly comparable to mine throughout our careers. My pay has literally tripled since working in London.
Currently, there are senior design and development roles in my home city of Bristol that pay less than what you’d get paid as a fast food manager.
I knew pay in the UK was bad for developers but that’s completely cuckoo. It sounds more like the uk is the odd one out though since while EU pay is lower than US I do know that it’s still better than most other jobs in the same area even if you aren’t in the Capitol. But there’s also always remote work if you live somewhere with no jobs.
I’m an adult on long-term sick leave so I have zero energy and money, but all the time. It’s generally not great, but at least I’m able to play all the games I want, watch all the movies and series of interest, discover music and learn about a ton of things.
