If you are paying $1000 (with roommates) to $2000 (1BR or studio) in rent, saving a few bucks by changing your diet won't make much difference.

By the way, aren't programmers in hedge funds supposed to make $200k-$500k a year after bonuses and before taxes?

Sample bias - you only hear about the ones making loads because they're the only ones with noteworthy income.
