23 - About to go to 36k pa. Work about 37 hours a week.
To make 'real' money, running your own business is the only way. I am in the process of launching my 'no effort' business but truthfully that will not be a money maker, more something done for fun.
After passing my final CIMA exam in May, i hope i will gain enough confidence and experience to launch my own Financial Consultancy type company, but that is but a dream at the moment.0 -

I'm 24 and earn around £9000 per annum. I only work 18 hours a week so I can't complain. OH is 26, works FT in the same company and is on £18000 per annum (I get an unsocial hours increment)
Currently studying to be a solicitor and if I get to where I want to be (within same company) I will hopefully be on around £50000 per annum in my early 30's. Better start networking now lol.:rotfl:0 -

Agree that for the majority making real money requires your own business. I changed career at aroun 21 leaving an £18k job for a £12k trainee post.
Left there at around 25 on around £18k to start my own business.
First few years earning around £15 - £20k will probably do £30k this year. Wit developments next year should be £60k, then developments should see a £10 - £20k increase per year.Running challenge 2014 = 689k / 800k0
