How much do you earn? Poll results/discussion

Dorrie

I earn around £50 a week as an Avon Lady. So I voted as under £5000 a year. My husband earns a lot more, but that is his private business and I know he wouldn't like me saying.

There is no login on this site... only in the forum... it is a main site vote. We porbably could get an agglomerated IP address if we tried. You've my word, the last thing in the word we want to do is try... its just an interesting poll

It does look like it's settling down to a normal distribution - as you'd probably expect.

I put down combined annual income of us two Pensioners! (Between £15,000 & £20,000)
Oh, and incidentally, we're "Dept-Free Chicks" too! (Well, more like old Rooster and Hen!)

I find these "privacy" discussions quite interesting ..... what does it matter if people know what I earn? No-one here knows who I am And even if you did know me, I'll probably still tell you. More interesting would be "why do you need/want to know?"

I was flamed on the house selling board for the amount I earned with people telling me that others manage to live on far, far less. Of course they do - but so what?

For the record - my basic pay is £76000. Bonus & shares take that up to around £80,000.

Net - it's less than £4k a month :mad:

I am in band D, below avarage again, but I dont worry about how much I earn, my concerns are always about disposable income, the cash I have left after paying all my bills and doing my weekly shop.
I am currently running at about 72% of my take home pay going into either savings or mortgage overpayment all of which is going towards reducing my retirement age.

Being in the higher bands, demonstrates that money saving is a state of mind as well as just a response to circumstances

Voted!

I really don't get the salary sensitivity thing either, and genuinely would like to know why some people are so sensitive about it?

I mean, even if the site owner could somehow use the IP addy and user details to identify voters what could/ would they care to do with that info??
