congrats on whatever luck you came across to find your good fortune.

Thanks, it's called education and hard work.

Fortunately, neither costs anything these days - hope you're lucky enough to find them as well and then you can maybe afford health insurance and all the games you keep posting about!

Sincerely, though, I hope you can find a way to make more than 15k/year as a software developer.

We actually just hired some brand new developers who are probably making at least 3 times that much - you know considering the median salary for developers is over 100k/year.

happy you were so well off that even unemployed you weren't below poverty level

Ah, yes, another assumption about me. Interesting that you didn't even consider that I may have been saving for such a moment, instead of spending money on phones, games and other entertainment, while busting my ass at work for less than median wage.

To each their own, though.

I've heard that relying on others to support oneself can make for a carefree lifestyle, but I don't know much about it personally.
