Rent for my one bedroom apartment in NYC is $2700. And that's below average. QQ :thumbdown:

I was very lucky in my timing, I got an excellent deal on a co-op just before my salary really began climbing. Big apartment (3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths), balcony, river view... paid it off in less than five years and I pay less than half as much per month for maintenance you do for your apt (sorry!).

But yes, cost of living can be a bit of a shock to people who don't live in a big and expensive city. :x

I have to say, I really wish all of those retards who "feel sorry for" us because we spend... gasp!... $75 a month on WoW accounts are reading this thread. Does $75 a month seem like so much now? Muahahahahahaaaaaaa...

PhD candidate, studying Computer Science, specifically Bioinformatics. I make 10k per year (that's no typo, 10k per year) after student fees with my research assistantship. Basically, I write my own custom data mining tools in C# to be used on protein networks and ontologies. The actual work and the flexible schedule are nice, but I would have done something different if I had to do it all over again.

Presentation layer developer (web).

So I pretty much sit around building websites and/or other interactive media (Flash/Silverlight).

I agree with whoever stated that $75/month isn't a lot for a hobby. Hell I'd surpass that if I played two games of golf a month. Seriously if people think $75/month is a lot for a game they should be spending their extra time working on their career or moonlighting. $75/month is NOT enough margin to deal with life's issues (Dr's visit $30+, tire replacement $75+, speeding ticket $80+, washing machine breaks $80+, etc. etc.).

---

The line I always give people is "Shoot, $75 is less than a lot of people's cell phone bills".

---

I always use the line of "i spend more than that on my gf each month" that way its a double shot as in, yes I can afford this, and yes I have a life/gf so move along hater.

Well i do Scool and wen i need monney i give ppl a handy in the ally ;)


also in the summer i work in places like subway exept its in iceland so i get aroudn 400-500$ a weak (depending on how much i work)

but usually i dont work at all, but heii icland wasent voted the best place to live in the world for no reason ;)

Hello fellow intel guy. :)
Linguist?

Personally I am Intel for the USAF. We basicly are supposed to know everything about enemy aircraft/sams/aaa.
However, I am currently working on becoming specialized in computer network attack/defense. My job is one of those "do everything" jobs. We are supposed to have general knowledge on everything, and be able to quickly research in depth into anything.

LOL... bet you don't spend $500 a month in gasoline though. $2,700 is below the average of a typical mortgage in CA and that's before all the "extras" (taxes, HOA fees, etc.).

---

HAH! Try the 2970 GBP for my place... yes thats nearly $6000 a month

not to mention the $8+ a gallon for gasoline...

to top it off i head to tokyo in a year. i don't think i'll be living off base as the prices for tiny places are crazy
