    I manage relationships with employers and local organisations for the council. You just need to join a large company that has room for growth, like bbc, or something like that that's my advice. If you're in a company which can promote you - it makes a big difference imo.

    to earn 100k you need to either need to open up a gym like duncan or a tennis academy like peter, a recruitment agency like james or a staionery shop like theo

    jeez, 26k id love to have that as a salary, do you mean your not very good at managing fnances when you say your poor at managing your life, im late twenties as well and i think i can do better than nmw and im doing my best to get away from nmw. Yes you were right it is a random question

    If the OP lives in/around London, £26k doesn't go very far. When I graduated, I was offered a job starting at £23k, in London, and I thought "yipee", Until I realised that after costs for rent (and I was looking at very basic flats in the least desirable areas) and travel, I'd only be ever so slightly better off than on a much lower wage in my hometown.

    I earn £18k now, making me by no means rich, but I've managed to pay off my debts and get to the point where my disposable income is quite high - owing to a natural frugality and living in a boring area, where splashing out on leisure/recreation/shopping/wining and dining is a very rare treat (namely because there's not much to do here :)), and housing is dirt cheap. Even on a low - by London standards - salary of 18k, I'd be like a kid in a sweet shop and would probably be out all the time, leaving me on the breadline :)
    £1 / 50p 2011 holiday flight + hotel expenses = £98.50600


    HSBC 8% 12mth regular savings = £80 out of a maximum remaining allowance of £2500


    "3 months' salary" reserve = £00 / £3600 :eek:

    HEY DFC I've changed my original question as it was a waste of space... just seeing what reactions would be. The new question is however legit.

    For interested parties original question went something along lines of... Ive been offered a 75k pound job, but dont want to work weekends what should I do!

    Id bite their hands off :o
    Ive just started a care job at NMW and work 6 days a week, includes Sunday. Not really wanting to work 6 days a week but needs must right now, though I will lower it eventually. Id snap up a 75k job in a second! :D
