If average salaries are 80-100k why does everyone ...
Total nitpick, but by saying that you are "in the top 80% of programmers" do you really mean you consider yourself in the top 20%? Because if you are in the top 80, there could definitely be a reason why you are drawing such a low salary :)

You got me. I hope I'm in better than the top 80%, but I'm doubting myself now that I wrote that... :P

I think you mean you're 80th
percentile
(better than the bottom 80%, or 80% below you and 20% above you).
