If it makes you feel any better, for the last three years, my wife and I saw <2k per month before tax and rent. I'm moving in a few months to get a better job. Still won't be making 80k, though.

Crikey :/

Living in NYC as well? Its hard to find a place under about 1700 in remotely decent commuting distance, in a vaguely safe area that isn't full of roaches.

Thankfully, no. Cost of living in Indiana is quite a bit lower.

Not sure this is the place. But always looking for talented python devs.

I've been using python for 8+ years now (4ish in a professional context), and have also given Python classes to large groups of students at big universities. Can you email me at [email protected]?

I'll reply with my linkedin, blog, resume, etc :D
