with my 16k, i support my mrs, baby girl, and have a scoob. yes it is hard, we dont go out alot etc etc.

could only dream what it is like for the people on here with the top earners..

p.s in a rented house

 

Mine differs but I'd say around 50k. I'm always overdrawn as I keep updating my equipment etc (I have 4 Disco set ups).

Mind you, I brought my flat for 52k in 1999 and last year had it valued because I wanted to re-mortgage and it's worth £149,995 now so I am sitting on a bit of dosh.

 

Contractor at our place is getting £1500 a day - he works 4 days a week.

There are 100's, maybe 1,000's of contractors working for us getting big wedges.

 

Take home about 38k , small house no mortgage and only 26 , Still fooking skint though

Dave

 

Im on 27k and gf on 12k, we have 180k house what destroys our bank balance. Not to mention the new sti. I get two pay rises a year though so not too bad. (Age 24 in RAF)- Rise above the rest........ visit www.neverjointhemilitary.com You will be sent to horrible places that you were never told about before you joined! lol

 

i am the same

 

is it me or are most people skint no matter how much they earn???!!!

 

indeed!

 

Loads and loads

 

Well it looks like i'm in the average scooby owner wage bracket and a third of that goes on V-Power alone.....

 

I Pay Myself...but still could do with Moooore!

 

30k and mrs earns 65k due to her being my contracts manager lol

 

I've been on this contact since March 20th 2000


it would have been a lot cheaper for them if they converted me to Permy

But I don't want too

 

doing my current job i earnt £21k in the last tax year for working as a warehouse skivvy, so pretty good for the skilless job. mrs is on under £12k doing lame **** factory work.

we survive just about with normal debts, £85k mortgage and a sizeable loan. dont go out much, but lots of my spare time is carving out my future profession as a "spethial drawer perthon"

very envious of the big earners on here and interested how people get onto big wages besides the "work hard" line

 

£0.

Might get a job.
Or might go and sign on eventually.

 

Not very many get that directly though a lot will go to agency or the firm that employs them.

I work with in IT and do 'some' outsourcing. of performance and security tests. One job allowed me to buy my car out right so was happy with that. Wife also has a cake business not loads for a business maybe makes £20k a year. The best thing about working for yourself is you can get your accountant to get you to pay the least amount of 'necessary' tax. I'm all for paying tax and NI but when it's like 50%+ (in total taxes paid) then I gotta find creative ways of reducing my tax bill.
