            Hi there ! I'm from Germany, and i'm making about 40K$ a year with 4 years of experience, but living is so expensive here since we got at least the euro, it's so f***ing expensive (1l Gas some 1,10$ and more, (>4$ per Gallon :eek: ), a house (200m²) about 250-300K$....) It's not fun, because most of your money is tax and insurance, wich is a must have (more than 60%...) Uhhh....and than, it's enough for a use car.... Greetings from a strange world !!!

            Olli I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.....

                  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

                    Contractor rates of £60-70/hour aren't unusual in the banking sector in the City, depending on the project and skillset. :cool: I don't live in London - prices are too silly. I live out in Kent, where you can get a nice 4-bed detatched house for about £300k. In London that sort of money will buy you a 1 or 2 bedroomed flat! :omg: However, our house is on the market, and we're moving to Scotland for a much more relaxed pace of life. The earnings will drop by 40% or so, but it'll still be plenty! :-D ________________________ http://www.webreaper.net

                      Last year I 'took away with me' just under £12,000, which for my age group (I'm still eighteen) is pretty good for this part of the world. The difference is that I get up at 9 am, stop working at 2 pm, and don't have anywhere near the level of expenses most working people have - thanks mum and dad! - so I can blow nearly half of that on non-essentials. This year it has been a little tougher finding gigs, but as I am drawing to the end of a project I started in November there is a chance that I can find future work with the company and it's partners in the coming months. I hope to have enough spare at the end of the year to be able to hire some people to produce artwork and models for my game (programmers != artistic). If I make enough personally to support a pub crawl once a week I will be happy for a few years yet. Bear in mind it is usually my round... :laugh: One day I may get a propper job with it's own cubicle and little swivelly chair, at the moment though I just want to enjoy myself!
