Actually, programmers are well-suited to get out of debt quickly or retire early.
Here is a talk I gave on this topic: "Move to Switzerland, work in IT, live frugally and be free": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1oeSs67myA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1oeSs67myA. (Disclaimer: I am a programmer and I run a tech recruiting agency as a side-hustle. If you look for a tech job in Zurich (or Munich), shoot me a message. You find my e-mail address in my HN-profile.)
