    $65K with 8.5 years experience at the age of 23. The cost of living is lower down here than in other places, so I sitll have some money for the goodies in life.

I would love to go to SA but I don't know how welcoming people in SA are. Are they as polite as the Americans (If I have to judge on poilteness and courtesy I will rate Americans above anyone else)?

        Is it in London ? The life in this city has the reputation to be expensive, isn't it ? We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children. Antoine de Saint Exupéry (1900-1944)

                    Country: Dallas Texas Experience ? Well that gets complicated. Actually started using "computers" before most of the people on this list was born ( 1965 - US Army Nike/Hercules program ). Amount: Hmmm.. 130000++ Richard Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

                      I was making $72k in San Diego two years ago. I'm now making $65k in San Antonio, Texas. However, there is no state income tax, my house only cost $107k (2-story, 2200 sq ft on .6 acre lot), my registration is on $50 for my truck and $40 for my motorcycle, insurance is about the same as San Diego. If I had bought the same house/lot combo in San Diego, we would be talking $300-450k, along with outrageous property taxes. Registration for my truct would STILL be more than $300/year, and my motorcycle registration would still be over $100. I figure by moving, I'm realizing more net income. Oh yeah, my wife is actually making about $45k (she was making $40k in San Diego). Even with what we were making in San Diego, we could not afford to buy a house that wasn't referred to as a "fixer upper", or that was within 40 miles of our jobs. Last item of note - we're paying lower mortgage payments here than we were for rent in San Diego. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                        I was thinking of quitting my programming gig and getting a job as an executioner at a local prison. Sure, it won't pay as well, but the sheer satisfaction of cleaning out the gene pool would be what I consider to be an adequate trade-off (not to mention, it's less stressful than hiding out after doing an armed sweep of the local shopping maul)...

                          More or less 20K€ (and a car with all expenses paid) in Italy after 8yrs C/C++/C#/asp/sql/java/dos/Win16/Win32/WinCE/.net and also a bit of Visual Basic :) I like my work because I work on projects using a lot of different technologies, even if wages here in Italy are not so high (I could get more money also here but I would have to wear a suit and shave every day :)). A chinese proverb say: "A lucky man can't distinguish work from free time", I think I'm lucky :) But I prefer a cuban proverb that states "hombre que trabaja pierde tempo precioso" (more or lesso: "a men who work is losing his precious time"). -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

                            Well I got my first job in the industry at 18, so it's knocking on 6 years for that. I got it because I already had "experience" with development though.
