It's 60% of the median household income in the area in which you live then that number needs adjusting depending on your household size. Try http://www.poverty.org.uk/summary/income%20intro.shtml it explains it a bit more.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
