Contractor mate of mine was distraught the other week as he was expected to take a rate cut. £200k down to £137k!
That’s still a big reduction in earnings and particularly bad if you’ve become used to budgeting on £200K

Most people probably spend the same % of their earnings each month regardless of salaries.

You just buy more or more expensive stuff.

I never understood people who earn more just to spend it. It’s much more exciting to save more.

£625 per day, on a 220 working day per year contract. You do the maths.
Slacker with a day rate which screams '2012'.

(Yes, I know it's an old post. Yes, I realise it's satire).

A colleague's son has started as an intern in Swindon on £30k. Not sure what they're doing, but fresh out of Uni - I thought it was pretty impressive.

Enough to put a roof over my head, food in my belly, warm bed to sleep in and pursue my hobby, i'm happy.

Have zero interest in a new audi on the drive, 100inch telly, latest smartphone etc etc.

Not enough when I look at how much time I give up to try and earn it!

I'll be lucky to clear £35k this year.

Several friends went to the city and make well over £100k but I didn't follow them. Regret that some times.

I just seem to never have enough, the joys of home ownership, children and a wife who doesn't get that money doesn't grow on trees....
