    Feel awfully depressed reading this thread :(

    I'm 26 and on 16k. Not an awful wage but not great either compared to some of the others of a similar age.

    47, on 16k p.a. 37.5 hrs a week. Plus 10-15 hours weekly commute on public transport. Bet you don't feel as depressed as me.

    21 and £15,000.

    I live within my means, I drive a nice second hand car which I purchased outright and I am currently saving for a mortgage (with other half).

    I'm quite amazed anyone on your salary doesn't own property. I've got some friends on ~£150k and they both own rather large houses. Admittedly one of them spends more time on work trips than I'd ever want to

    I do own property but it is not in the UK (and is mortgage free)
