Can working really harm your health? or is it just something people say?

Average is £70,000 but I am hoping when I get my own house (around 25 years old) I will have near on 30k.

Nothing where I live for that low.

No, it is not designed for that.

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance? :rotfl:

So then, what is statutory minimum for exactly?

Just a bit of a golden "s*d off" really (and it is not that golden!). Some companies do pay lots to move on but the minimum is very low.

I've worked long hours for a number of years down in london (50-60+ a week and studied on weekends too) but enjoyed it and it just becomes a hobby. It helped me step up quickly in my career but I am happy to take an easier ride now. Some people can cope with working long hours - at my wife's old city law firm 70 hours was a good week. But often that is what it takes if you want to end up very well paid!
