    What irks me, is that i turned down a job earlier this year because it was in dubai, without knowing the salary. My boss promptly quit, took the job and i found out it was £80k. Doh.

  • Full time benefits claiming dole scrounger....£936 monthly (plus council tax £95 and £500 mortgage all paid for.)

    Previously Area supervisor for security firm salary at 25.5k plus benefits.

    The trouble with the dole is you get far too much free time too chill out and relax....:D

    about £5k 16hr per week shop assistant - min wage, no bonuses, no freebies.

    i am actually stunned at some of your salaries, cannot believe some jobs pay out so much


    fiance, 25 and he's an infantry soldier and he brings home about £18k i think with some bonuses depending on where they send him and gets a bonus on certain landmarks e.g 5 yr point e.c.t
  • Newly qualified nurse, will be about £21000 when I finally find a job. (I say finally, its only been a couple of weeks! ;) am just excited and want to get on with it!)

    So until then Health Care Assistant, about £12000 ish depending on how many shifts I get.

    I do hope you declare your bankroll as capital to the JobCentre, as to earn that kind of money it must be substantial.
    I use credit cards and the cash available to me in current accounts at any one time is under £6,000. I owe quite a large amount in debts (£60k shared ownership mortgage and £50k credit cards, loans and bills) which really must be paid off at some point.

    I think he is taking the pee by quoting a previous poster who is now PPR'd?
    Well in a way yes but I do make quite a bit. Only need to do 2 offers per day paying £30 each to make that much in a year. So if I worked hard at it for a week the pro-rata amount is £26k.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
