    no fixed amount, varies a lot

    2012 - £50k
    2013 - £120k

    Yeah right.

    You made £120,000 last year but you're paying your mum £50 a month rent????

  • Don't understand that one - you must get overtime or something of the sort - puts you significantly above £32k!

    Sorry £200 a month fuel allowance (non taxable).

    And then there is this in this very thread
    You should be buying on that kind of money, i am similar age, earning similar and have saved enough to buy outright

    No post was quoted, but the one above it was a 23 year old earning 55k.

    It's a bit sad really isn't it, so insecure with their life that they have to post on an anonymous forum exaggerating how much they earn.

    I believe I have posted my financial 'wage' here before... Basically what I need to pay the bills and have a few pounds left, from my lovely husband, great to be a stay-at-home wife, plus I earn about £10k a year, keeps my tax/NI VERY low and means I get to be home and enjoy life, albeit cheaply :)

    If hes earning anything at all?

    If you're living with your parents and debating whether or not to pay your mum £50 a month rent it doesnt really say huge levels of disposable income.

    Dec GC - budget £150 spend £7.62
    0 NSD's!!! :T

    Nov GC - budget £150 spend £113.93

    He won't be earning that sort of money from stationery. I'll know where he buys from and even those CEO's earn nothing like that :D

    Oh I know.

    If he has a 10% net margin after costs, then hes saying hes sold £1.2 million of stationery last year from a bedroom in his mums house and storing it in the garage. Thats a lot of A4 reams. :eek:
