Android dev making 2k a month? Come to the Bay, you'll make 5x that.

Are you referring to being a salary worker? I think that's what he LEFT to start making money on his own. Not having a boss is worth 5x his salary IMO :)

But he's in Poland. What about his expenses? I wonder if that would be multiplied by a number less or more than 5? (see other subthread here)

Average polish wages, according to his post, are about 12k a year. Average american is around 50k, he would have to multiply his salary times 4 here to match cost of living increase, roughly.

Average american is around 50k

I thought that's for the entire household? And that for individual earners it was closer to $25-$30k? I only ask as $50k seems really high for an average salary - might have to investigate moving over, even ;)

According to Wikipedia, you're right, but for a man the individual median is still pretty close: 45,000 for full time work.

Which will be almost enough to rent a couch in a 2 bedroom apartment where 4 people already live.
