Exactly - as a 13 year old I made $12 an hour. There's no way that 13-year-old me was making more than 55% of programmers.

  ....Do you live in India?

    No (I live, and lived at the time, in the US), but I'm assuming you asked because you were surprised I was working at 13. I was freelancing for some local businesses at the time, and I definitely didn't need the money.

      They might have been pointing out that 13-year-old you in the US may very well make more than an adult in India.

        You should factor in cost of living expenses before saying that. If the 13 year old in the US pays taxes and has to run a house on that money (even if it is a small rented apartment with expenses such as food and groceries for himself), the comparison with an adult doing the same in India /might/ be a bit more comparable.
