5-7 months of living expenses left; terrified. Advice?
YuriNiyazov: Relax. I have no problem living in New York on $3K/month gross pay. That's 36K/year. Since you are working at this startup for essentially free, you should be able to convince them that you actually can only afford to work there 3-4 days/week as opposed to 5-7 which is what you are probably doing right now. If you free up some time, you will be able to find some temporary/part-time consulting work doing database admin and website updates. Meeting people that need this type of work need is relatively easy - craigslist, twitter, meetup, etc. as other posters have indicated. The only thing that you might compromise on is how much sleep you are getting, but from the sound of it, that's not a major issue for you right now.
