I would like to point out that these don't simply fall out of the sky. They are something you sign up for voluntarily (at least in the civilized world.)

- embeddedradical 17y agovoluntary. you don't need to get permission/contracts set up with the government/people to love (see "free love" on Wikipedia), and you don't need to take loans from banks (see renting vs buying articles, especially 'is renting throwing money away?' or something like that from earlier in the week on hacker news). // free love advocacy: complete.
- sunir 17y agoSo... the reward for a career in software is to be lonely and to live in a shoebox?
- mrdodge 17y agoShoebox? You can live an excellent single life as a software developer. $100k for a single guy is good money.
- philwelch 17y agoIt's great money, but not good enough to swear an oath of celibacy for. Especially if you can just keep the same amount of money, find a spouse who makes a few dozen kilodollars of their own, and then not be so lonely.
