if my hourly rate were >$100, I'd be working <20 hours a week, because $2000 is enough to pay for (+ rent bills toys), and I'd have the rest of the time to do stuff I actually wanted to do.
- morgante 13y ago$2000 doesn't go that far in NYC. You can certainly live on it, but you're not saving much and you're not living a fantastic lifestyle.
- tehwalrus 13y agoThe principle is the same wherever you set the threshold - earn enough to live, in as few hours as possible, then live in the rest of the hours. As software engineers, we're paid enough to be able to do 4 or even 3 day weeks and chill out/hack for fun the rest of the time. When I escape my PhD (if I don't do a 24/7 startup) I'll be seeing how few hours I can work and still pay the bills.
