Do you own a house though?
My worry is what happens when we hit ages 50-80 and the ageism in Tech hits us hard.
Without a house, retirement is a pipe dream. And houses are incredibly expensive.
- Dayshine 6y agoIn the UK, median household income is ~£30k. Average intermediate dev salary is something like £30-45k. Mortgage cost in the most expensive non-London areas (Cambridge/Oxford/Reading/South east) is maybe £1.5k/m. If your household is one developer and one person working minimum wage (~£17k) you can comfortable afford to cover all your living costs and probably save a little.
