Since 2003 I have earned £155 through what I would consider actual work. The rest has been from nifty moves.

That sounds ace. Just working the first week in May, you’ll even get a bank holiday in most years. jester

I earn enough to keep me happy but not quite enough to keep her happy.

My payroll deductions would give me a very nice lifestyle if I retained them.

It's a public record but I'm still not going to tell you.

In Australian dollars it's enough to have a very comfortable life outside of Sydney but just enough to be ok inside Sydney.

I stay in Sydney 4 nights a week. Live and own a house 2 hrs north.

Like many I earn a decent wage, but due to the usual bigger house etc have no money. And as all our money goes into the same account Ive never really paid much attention to what I take home, until I found out on friday that I pay 30% tax and my wife is a 1%er paying 33% (here in NZ).

We would be much better off though if kids weren't in tbe equation lol.

Above the UK average, but then again my family ensures the outgoings are also probably far above the UK average outgoings.......

Why?

Enough to pay the bills and some left over, no idea how much i actually earn though, would have to ask accountant.
Strange. I've always assumed your niche would be highly lucrative due to the high risk factor.

He never gets to see all the money he is promised.

His 'accountant' Tony holds the money, because “banks always get knocked over. And nobody knocks over old Tony.”

Enough.

Enough, between us, to pay for a home, food, and an annual holiday in warmer climes

Based on widely available stats, it's a fair bet that ~90% of posters on this thread will be making <£50k, ~9% will be making <£150k, and ~1% will be making >£150k.

It’s not how much you earn that matters, it’s how much you spend, a friend of mine earns quite a lot more than me but has less money at the end of the month than me as he rents privately alone.

It’s all relative so someone could say 100k here and you’d say wow but someone who earns 25k may have more freedom with the cash he spends!
