This is quite centered around hetero dudes, which I find sad.

I've recently changed to a part-time contract, thanks to decent wages we get in IT. None of my friends outside of IT could afford that. If anyone claims IT professionals earn too little, they should change their job and see how much their life improves then.
If you think programmers make less than other jobs then you're totally out of touch.
Not all programmers live in the US. In the UK, especially outside of London, the pay is surprisingly bad.
Yes, but the pay for other jobs is even worse!
My wife is a teacher. Her pay was mostly comparable to mine throughout our careers. My pay has literally tripled since working in London.
Currently, there are senior design and development roles in my home city of Bristol that pay less than what you'd get paid as a fast food manager.
I knew pay in the UK was bad for developers but that's completely cuckoo. It sounds more like the uk is the odd one out though since while EU pay is lower than US I do know that it's still better than most other jobs in the same area even if you aren't in the Capitol. But there's also always remote work if you live somewhere with no jobs.
It's a mix of both. My wife makes good money as a teacher, primarily because she's very senior in her role, and takes leadership responsibilities. Teachers are required in (mostly) equal measure everywhere, whereas software engineers always gravitate towards HCOL areas where the jobs are. If you're not in one of these areas, you're stuck with limited jobs, with limited pay.
My commute is close to two hours, one way, but the pay I can get here is over double what I'll get where I live. Comparably, as a senior I probably get paid less than a new graduate in a HCOL city in the US.
Yeah but all the other jobs don't leave you with crypto debt up to your eyeballs. I have $83k in credit card debt that I used to buy LUNA.
I genuinely can't tell if this is incredibly dry humor or if you're being serious.
Pretty sure you can lose all your money in a casino regardless of how you earn it
Hmm, yes. This reasoning is perfectly sound.
That's your jobs fault?
I'm an adult on long-term sick leave so I have zero energy and money, but all the time. It's generally not great, but at least I'm able to play all the games I want, watch all the movies and series of interest, discover music and learn about a ton of things.
I work 30 hours remote and cost of living is pretty ok.
Lmao, no.
Go work a job in a different industry before thinking you have it so tough.
Programmers make more money, have more vacation and free time, and consequently typically have stabler lives, than literally every single other professional industry.
Also their careers grow faster and steadier even in a recession, changing jobs is easier and comes with a significant pay raise each time, and they mostly don't have to deal with costumers.
Nah, I took a pay cut at my new job from where I was laid off due to the recession.
Thank god we don't have to deal with costumers, imagine what outfit you'd have to wear to deal with them. And to make it work you'd probably have to wear make up too, it'd feel like halloween everyday.
where do adults have money?
I guess in the modern version you'd have the child, then an adult with all bars empty. Then that's just it because they died before reaching retirement age from stress and poverty related illness
Adult here, have plenty of money (and growing) actually. Wish I could easily buy more time with that money, but the system of wage labor mostly just isn't flexible enough that there are many employers who will agree to "you get a few more weeks of vacation but a few thousand currency units less annual salary". If I could do that, I would.
I actually got bucket loads of free time after finishing my studies, I didn't know what to do with it. Like why does everyone always act like students have time? It's a full time job plus you have to do projects and homework.
Almost, in camada, adult would half money bar set to 50% max
