[Maximomm]

Occupation and salary please.

I'll start

I'm a Personal Trainer. £60K

Interpreter (self-employed). £28k-34k

I actually think these threads are really helpful. I live in London and always feel as though I am surrounded by people who much be earning 100s of 1000s (no one ever talks about their salaries and everyone always seems to have new clothes, cars, holidays, eating out in restaurants I would never even consider, no worries/never be budgeting) and I keep thinking I must be doing something wrong because I always feel poor/like we are budgeting despite having a professional job that I would not expect to be a million miles off what others are being paid.

Some people are giving out very detailed information, 0n themselves, their husbands, pensions. Slightly baffling

EYP-£25k

Dolphin shaver £100k

Only scary because they're hairy 😆😆😆😆😆

What? Again? Why?

South east based so it's enough but doesn't go far

Why would you feel like crying? You've chosen to do a rewarding job that doesn't pay very well. Charity sector in particular generally comes with poor salary compared to private sector.

I used to work in private sector. I now work for a charity and get paid a tiny percentage of what I used to earn. My job is much more rewarding and much more manageable (I have chronic illness) though. I couldn't cope with what I used to do.

If you want higher wages, move jobs, retrain if you need to. You might find it is less rewarding and much higher stress, and sometimes a lot more hours.

My DH earns well but he works excessive hours, late nights, weekends, and sometimes when on holiday. His job is also really high pressured and stressful. There is no way he'd do his job if he didn't get the money he does for it. It's literally the only reason he does it! The job isn't rewarding in itself.

Marketing director £86k

What is hitting me is that the hardest jobs are probably the worst paid on this thread so far.
