Well, that's a webmaster's wage for ya.

Just curious how a 19 year old would be able to land such a job...

[Renose]

Umm...ok

Well I mean money that isn't used for living expenses or buying games.

Like money you all can afford to spend on Items and junk. Eventually you will all have a way to procure weapons as well.

[Renose]

And yea, I do have to agree with Zombe

I do agree there

/doesthemath
A surplus of ¥280000 = £1650
Assuming you pay, say... £450 rent and about £200 on everything else, that's £2300 a month or around $3800.
£2300 X 12 = £27600 or $45700 per annum, post tax.
Assuming the average tax rate is 30%, then £35880 or just under $60000, pre tax.

Holy shit... I assume IT careers are... well paid outside the UK..?

[Renose]

We are going to say here that living expense/game money does not count in this case, mainly cause that stuff is important.

You guys also forget that houses are expensive in Japan, as are apartments. This is Japan, not America. Shits expensive.

[Renose]

Well it is Japerica, but still. Pretty much Japan here XD

You all wouldn't see Spooky's name as spooky. You would see his actual name above his head XD

Ah. Well, that works with what I worked out. Yuuko would end up with about ¥30000 or about £175.
¥60000 seems reasonable for rent on a one-bedroom apartment; it's about £350.

[Renose]

You can't forget groceries as well and possible bills you have to pay XD

[Lennon79]

Yep, that was all included in the calculations XD

Remember, this dude's a genius. The only reason he didn't finish school early was because he chose to do COMP-SCI electives. And, in all respects, if you were to truly use your time perfectly, it sounds sort of plausible to land a similar job.

[Renose]

Hmm...still, I do want you guys to have a somewhat hard time buying stuff XD

Plus if you ask me that seems like way too much money to start off with XD

30,000 Yen is reasonable in my opinion, since Yuuko is a working adult.

Not really. He's 19, he doesn't have enough experience that someone would hire him for this type of job, or this type of salary.

He works for a small business, I just remembered, so I'm going to take some money off...

[Renose]

More like alot XD

[Lennon79]

I'd like to take this chance to say that I would sell my manhood for 35 grand a year.

Please, continue.

[snowblzr]

Assuming that he gets paid at the 10th percentile (the lowest 10 percent of recorded US webmaster wage) that's ~ 49 thousand yearly. Take away bill money. 153022.09 Yen, monthly.

[Lennon79]

Note to self: learn programming, move to America.

[Renose]

Note that is in Yen, not dollars XD

[Renose]

Well...lets not say he is a webmaster. He can still be a programmer, but a webmaster is a bit much for someone who hasn't gone to college and is only 19
