about 300 now, i was (un)lucky enough to be made redundant in the UK and got a job in a tax free paradise
certainly when i was in the uk i wasn't getting many pay rises at all.0 -
Not sure what jobs you're doing for £100 a week or similar - that's £5,200 a year, which is chicken feed. Are these part-time jobs?
Personally I've seen a 13% increase since 2009, so average annual inflation of 2.6%. Not brilliant but better than many by the look of it. Bonuses have improved year on year too.
So much the same as me.
The OP purely used £100 as an example so that everything was based at the same level.
Yours would be £113 now if it was £100 in 2009.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
