      We’re going to try another experiment. We’re going to pay 10 people $1,000/month ($7,000 total) to attend Lambda School’s 7 month iOS + CS program. After you graduate you’ll pay 10% of salary for 4 years, only if you’re making $50k+, capped at $40k total.

      Yeah but 10% of gross or net? If I make 50k I’d take home about 36k after taxes, healthcare, etc. if you take 10% of gross that means I take home 31k. Divided by 12 is 2500 per month. Here in Denver I could barely live on that. Not that the extra 5k would help much I guess.

      Sounds like you are used to living a more expensive lifestyle than people who make $50k/yr ;)

          You can’t find rent in Denver for much under $1500 then the average car payment is $400 that leaves $600 for electricity, food, gas, insurance. Doesn’t leave much money for skinny, no-foam, caramel macchiatos and avocado toast. 😜

          Can I introduce you to the ideas of roommates, beater cars, bicycles, and public transit?

          I’m married, have a child and a dog that would literally kill someone if he got the chance. 😜 I drive a beater car. It’s a 2007 Audi. Like I said before, highly doable for a single person. Or a pair of DINK (double income no kids).

          So you’re basically saying it’s impossible to make it on an income of $45k or less (plus/minus $1k for taxes)

          I’m not knocking your program I simply asked if you take the 10% before or after deductions because that makes a bit of a difference. Most new grads of your program would not be able to get remote positions, (generally), so they would have to live near a tech hub.

          Seattle, Denver, San Francisco, New York, etc. are expensive places to live. Meaning that they would most likely be paid more. So a lot of your graduates will most likely cap out at the 40k limit.

          Ya, I just think your “can make it” metric is off. I was making ~$100k in SF two years ago, single earner, wife and two kids. Was saving $2k/month after taxes. Not easy at all. Incredibly difficult. But that’s how finances are for most ppl.

          No way! I don’t believe you. Show us your tax returns. 😜 I get it. My wife and I combined make over 200k but we never had any money. We started looking at where it was going. Stopped a bunch of BS we didn’t need, stopped eating at restaurants, etc. Now we save $4K+ per month.
