To ask what you earn?

[working925]

Just read another thread about earnings. How old are you and what do you earn? I'm nosey!!

@LazyArseAvocado don't let it depress you. It will always be the top earners on MN sprinting to these threads to share how much they earn because it gives them the chance to show off and tell us lower paid lot that '100k isn't much in today's money'. All I can say to those idiots is get a f*cking grip and learn to be more humble! It is certainly not representative of the nation as a whole. Don't let it get you down

£31,000.

I'm 2 years into my career.

I'm 50 and earn £27k working 3 days a week a with 10 weeks holiday. I am lucky that I also have rental income on top of about £10k and no mortgage to pay.

75k plus bonus, no mortgage & looking to retire by 40 latest. I'm 27

What do you do chopper?

Sales of a commodity item, for the automotive sector. Right place, right time for me - I am very lucky. I often get asked to speak in local schools to encourage the young into engineering.... I always decline as I can hardly stand infornt of 14 year olds and say i left school, quit college & job hopped for a few years. I have no qualifications since gcse' I just have the gift of the gab and struck very lucky

lazyarse don’t feel bad. I’m a lawyer with 12 years PQE and don’t earn a fraction of what some people have posted here. There does seem to be a higher proportion of higher earners on here than you’d perhaps generally come across IRL. I don’t profess to know everyone I know’s salaries but it’s a fair bet that I don’t know a single RL person who earns £100k!

If you want to know about spare cash OP, you might do better to ask how much people have left per month after housing and work costs such as childcare and commuting.

Dilly Dally and Baked Beans, thank you for your kind words.

Made me feel very inadequate and small, this thread did.

However, fair play to all the hardworking ambitious people.

31 work full time with degree earning £24k

45 and earn £87k, live in London.

48, £10,500 per annum at the moment working term time only. Am hoping to increase this to at least £20,000 by working all year round.

Not quite sure why I have had zero confidence in my abilities all my life so far.

Mumsnet seems to attract almost all of the higher rate taxpayers in the UK
from the threads on this site you'd never guess that 93% of kids go to state schools, the vast bulk of them non selective
PLEASE
do not base your self esteem on the biased posts on threads on here

lazyarse

I agree with everyone else...check out talkin earlier post

Mn is biased towards higher earners

Just under £13,800 a year for full time at 26yrs old...

I'm sick of being skint applied for a new job so fingers crossed.

I am 47 and earn £200k. My DH (same age) earns £62k.

It is odd how coy we are about earnings. And how that affects how women approach discussions about their pay level at work...

I’m 37 and earn £49k . I’m in Insurance

Lazyarse, me too. Though I think a lot of people on this thread are probably talking shit

Beequeeny, I doubt they're talking shit, what reason would they have to do that?

I am apparently not allowed to reply as I don't currently work. If I wanted to to be helpful and tell you what dh earns I would be claiming his achievements as my own. But pre kids I earned about 15k in an admin role. But this was years ago so hopefully would be more today.

I'm 42, a business consultant for a software company. Live in The North. Work from home but I visit clients. Been doing it 5 years.

£66k basic plus bonuses, etc.

Fantasticday, of course you an reply. You just say you're currently out of work or that you're not earning. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

About 25k. Not had a pay rise in 10 years. Crap company

Late 30s, now earn 23k FT which is a drop following a career change. I have a Master's degree that I'm no longer using.
I love this thread - it's made me start thinking of my options again.

Now retraining again so 3rd time lucky hopefully.

40 years old, £17.5k, full time (40 hours a week.)
