    54 three part-time jobs about £9,600
    Can't find full time work here, but then I wouldn't want to give up the job I love.
    Hubby is 58 in security so his wages vary from good to bad depending on shifts.
    Have to say we were better off 30 years ago - just didn't know it.

    27 -£81.5k p.a. + employer pension conts of Circa £31k.

    Love my job, am extremely grateful for the oppertunity to raise 2 young children with my wife at home to look after them with no real pressure for her to work.

    However we have to watch the £ on a week to week basis as I have a lot of debt from being young, impulsive and irresponsible with money.

    I've been very lucky with my own business which lead to this fantastic position, my salary is £75,000 with yearly pension contributions of £10,000 from my employer (I put in about £5,000 to make £15,000 pension per year). I've only had this job for about 18 months and the pension for 6, I recently turned 22.

    I'm not entirely satisfied, I am obviously very happy with my level of income however I have started at the top and there is no room for progression, even though I work 80+ hours per week I will remain on the same income level unless I return to running my own business (which I will do eventually).

    45 - on £55k + annual bonus + the usual trimmings. Financial industry in a Compliance role. My salary's not out of step with the rest of the industry from what I can tell, and I'm happy on that.
