ive just got a new job where the starting salary is £27,500 a year. Going up to £36,000 after 5 years.
My mum seems to think I might as well be on benefits as I will hardly be any better off and won't have any spare money.
She has never worked and my dad has earned close to minimum wage his whole life so I think she comparing my salary to their situation.
My tent and council tax are low.
I have worked out that I will be £1000 a month better off on this salary than I was on income support.
AIBU to be annoyed with this comment?
I think it's partly coloured by her views that women shouldn't be out working. I need to work for my mental health anyway, even if there's no financial gain.
AIBU to think financially I will be considerably better off working?
