I suspect I posted here before but my circumstances have changed.
Nearly 25
Job role senior care assistant
£7.26 an hour

What other people here have listed makes me wonder, what on earth are you spending money on?! I am coping on my measly earnings so people on double/triple my pay but in same situation (no children) saying they are struggling need to look at their spending! No offense intended I just can't understand how you can be say "you desperately need more money etc"

Maybe they have a big mortgage?

I have a clear grocery budget and a mortgage free mission, plus 3 secondary school aged children. When we were mortgage free (pre forever house) we became less frugal but I think its good to show our children how to manage money and to not be wasteful plus I like my holidays and I am very clear about if we can't afford we don't buy, choosing to save rather than borrow.

Hi annie_d. Glad to find a fellow sister.

Denning.

Business Analyst, 23, £25 000. Public sector, so 41 days holiday and all the other perks, good work/life balance.

41 days! Are you including bank holidays in that total?

I think it might be 40 or 40.5 come to think of it, should probably check.

30 normal + 8 bank + 2 or 2.5 privilege days.

My jaw dropped when I was told, previous role was 31 days, so big jump. Although I don't think that figure is outrageous for more senior roles, both public and private sector.

Flexitime is the best perk for me, being able to have a Friday afternoon off in summer is heaven.

Nobody in this country is ever likely to be mortgage free, as the whole country is mortgaged to the hilt.

Apart from all the people that are mortgage free?
