What would you class as a good salary?

Depends on area obviously and job,

But as a figure I'd say between 45-55k is decent, north east area especially.

I’m a nurse qualified 8 years ago and earn around £35,000 with unsocial hours of weekends included. I would say around £50,000 is a good wage, which isn’t possible as a nurse staying in nursing rather than managerial role moving away from patients. 

Dunno mind. Band 6 is £42k which you'd still be front line patient care just a more specialist role. Add in unsociable hours & you'd be not far off £50k

A good salary in the early 70s, three shillings and a pig?

Most say 70k is decent

Much of the confusion that exists is around different ways that the statistics can confuse:

• Salary of £80k for one individual
• Household income
• Owner-Directors taking dividend rather than salary obscuring the equivalent salary
• Unearned income

THink its dependant on location, age and lifestyle.
without those 3 bits of info, its difficult to give a definitive answer.

But important step is to have outgoings below your income!
