Imagine adding two kids to that equation, and you have the life of a burrito.d11wtq wrote: £300 rent
£100 council tax
£50 car insurance
£200 parents (loan still paying)
£200 to 3 other creditors
Then I spend about £100/month on petrol too.... all adds up really.
How much do you earn?

Add three more kids to burrito's two, and the fact that I live in East Bay Area (you know, $1800 a month rents?), and you got a burrito eatin' everah (but only once a month 'cuz I can't afford more than that).Burrito wrote:Imagine adding two kids to that equation, and you have the life of a burrito.d11wtq wrote: £300 rent

I basically meant of programming PHP is your primary source of income. You could live on freelancing 3 days a week if you got enough money from it I guess..... I wouldn't though, not worth the hassle IMO.Nathaniel wrote:Yup, but I took that to mean that I should freelance full-time.

What did you mean, d11wtq?
I'm quite surprised how low the stats are.... I guess we get paid a little more in the UK because a good chunk comes back off as tax and the cost of living is higher anyway.
Did you forget we have people from all around the globe here? For example, to have the salary ~1000USD/month in Ukraine is... well above average, yet any UK coder would laugh out loud, should someone offer him to work for 12K/year.I'm quite surprised how low the stats are....
And I mean professional full-time job, not something a student does between lecture hours and parties.

~NiGHTFiRE I don't find customers... I'm actually employed by the City Council here in Manchester. I do get approached a lot through this board and also via my CV online http://chriscorbyn.co.uk/ although I'm still not sure what Google keywords they are using to stumble upon that because it's not even linked to anywhere really.
You should look in the job hunt forum here every so often if you're looking for work. Rent-a-Coder and those freelance sites are a waste of time too because they just end up seeling work to developers for stupidly low amounts and it's always the same old regulars who pick up work.
