Started working - savings advice

With how much (little) you earn, you are saving aggressively and it's great.

I agree, but is that really what he's making? Bringing home $1090 per month for a full time programming job? That seems very low for that type of work.

Yes, that's how much i get, it's little i know
I need to try make some more money on the side, like freelancing. I'm going to sign up for oDesk or people per hour.

I would like to have a mac laptop, beucause i'm reading books and watching tutorials on how to build apps for IOS, and having one or two in the apple marketplace would be cool too. That's why i want an apple laptop. I'll get one, but not for now :P

It is not how much you make but how much you do not spend. With $1,090 per month you are able to save almost 50% of your pay per month and that in itself is very impressive. I know people who earn $5,000 and month and can't save anything off that, not that they have many bills to pay but they lack self-control. Keep up with that savings rate as your income increases and explore ways on how you can use your 'side income' to fund your purchase.
