NYCPHP Meetup

[Alan T. Miller]

I joined the NYPHP mailing list in part because I am seriously considering
moving to New York City in the next few months, although I have to ask,
considering $50.00 an hour seems to be a high rate there... how can one
afford to live in New York, and only get $50 an hour contracting? I am
currently in Phoenix, and it is hard to get by now.  I would have thought
with the high cost of living one would make more. Is it just me or does it
seem a little strange?
