I'm still sucking money from my parents' salaries. No job for me yet. Probably in college.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Have a summer job which will net me about 4 grand for just over 2 months of work. Pay is not too great but it is literally the easiest job in the world. It involves counting cars (not kidding). The point is to send the information to the local dept. of transportation so they can adjust the timing of the street lights accordingly. Though it is boring as shit, I just happen to have an abnormally large amount of patience so I can handle staring at traffic for 7 hours unlike most people. Just gotta have some form of entertainment there to occupy yourself with like a radio/phone and it is at least somewhat tolerable.

Lol, I used to work in a theatre. It basically involved staying in the auditorium half the time and out of it the other half. 3h45m a day. Now that was easy.

It paid about $12/h, so not bad for a shitty job to have while studying.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I made about 60k last year. A little more before taxes. It may not seem like much but, according to Wikipedia, the average income in my city is 40k (20k for females and 38k for families). The cost of living isn't that high. You can buy a decent house for less than $500 a month! Plus only having one kid and no outstanding debt helps a lot, too.

I was able to pay all of my bills and have a thousand dollars left over every month to put in the bank and bullshit around with. I got a pretty good raise in the beginning of the year so I should do better this year. Problem is, my GF quit her job a little over a month ago. It hasn't happened yet but I know the time is fast approaching where I have to pay all of my bills (which is pretty much everything) and all of her bills--Her car, car insurance, and groceries. When that time comes, I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't want to be so shallow as to kick her out on her ass but I just don't understand how it's so hard for her to not fuck up. Thirty something years old and she doesn't even have anything to show for it besides clothes in the closet.

If we were on the same page, who knows how great our lives could be?

damn,  i know it's my fault for choosing to live downtown chicago but the monthly payments on a $400,000 house is a fair bit higher than that.  :P


I can imagine.  I lived in Atlanta back in 97-98 and we were paying $700+ a month for a two bedroom apartment.  And, from what I've seen, it's IMPOSSIBLE to live in a city like New York.


WOW bargain. my rent is about $2300 a month, lost track as it always goes up lol. Still trying to save up for a deposit for a house. Need 10%-20% of value. Interest in Australia is about 7.5% on a home loan.

However video games and taxes are killing me haha,

Before tax I am on about $82K + upto 15% bonus for performance + 9% super (Super is what companies pay towards your retirement. This money can only be accessed once you are over a certain working age, 65 ATM for people born in my age bracket, older generation it is 55).

last financial year paid almost $25K in tax (7% extra as also paying off education fees) so I guess I take home roughly $58K.

Needs to add some higher salary categories.

I don't want to be in the same one as Mitt Romney !
Yes i make more than 90k ( pretty standard for computer software not in gaming), no I don't make millions or even 200k !


Then you're probably one of the highest paid coders/programmers in the US, because 95% of coders in the US make between 42K USD and 70K USD. 90K USD is not standard in the US in LA, Seattle, or anywhere else that I am aware of. LA, where the salaries are generally the highest, a standard coder makes about 50-60K.

Hardly.

Most software developers with a few years of experience and that do not work in gaming make 80k or more.. (I'm not talking of salaries for people fresh out of college with no experience).

More if they work in California as there is higher demand for them there.

The average salary for software developer for a Google employee is 103k for example.

Same kind of salary for an oracle  or a microsoft software developer.

I'm a senior software developer in a company where maths skills are required so I make more...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I see what you're doing Jay! Next thread will be "Who's you're credit card/bank card provider" and then "what's your address" and then you'll finally fool people into such a lull that you'll be able to ask for our social security/identification numbers!

I finally see what your purpose on this site is!
