There is no science behind this article at all it is just sweeping observations from my experience of working with programmers on their retirement and other financial planning needs. Over the years I have been fortunate to work with a lot of computer programmers, I say fortunate because for the most part, we tend to be on the same wavelength (I write, html, css and php as a hobby sad I know) which makes work more pleasurable and secondly they generally always get the math behind what we are discussing the first time.Ĭomputer programmers are generally pretty well paid especially once they have established and proved their skill set (it's an industry where what you can do is more important than the qualifications you hold) yet it has been my observation (no stats just an observation) that based on age and salary they are often behind where they should be in terms of pension planning.
