I did the starving artist thing as a young man, decades ago. On one hand, there's really no limit, it's about how committed you are to this starvation thing, but on the other hand, yeah, less than $1k a month in current dollars, you're out of the joke starving artist level and into the real starving artist level. Now I'm an old man and I'm looking at it from the other direction. Is $x amount enough to get me by until SS and Medicare. It's scary because as an old man I don't think I'm going to be able to jump back in to a software developer job once I quit. And on the other hand, the clock is ticking. |

Yeah, I'm not always sure whether "retirement" is a carrot held in front of us, or really a threat.
