I do think the actual figure is a bit meaningless though tbh.

Someone earning £20k in my area is quite likely to be better off (in terms of nicer house/higher standard of living etc) than someone on three or four times that in Central London.

Mid 30s and I earn slightly over a thousand euro a year for each year I've been alive. I work on location though, so that means a few months away and a few months at home when I don't work at all. I am away approximately 8 months (not continuously) out of the year and then I work a minimum of 10 hours days, 7 days a week.

I like this kind of discussion because it opens things up, and women benefit from that because women are the ones more likely to get fucked over by wage secrecy. The idea that it's somehow crass to talk about money needs to die a death.

That said, I am nervy of sharing information on here now because of hacking and the fucking DM.

Please remember folks that MN posters comprise most of the high earners in the UK.

Median adult income in London is £23,000 : ie half of all Londoners earn less than £23,000

Median household income in England is £26,000 : ie *half of all households have an income under £26,000

Median adult income in the UK is under £18,000 : ie half of all adults earn under £18,000

so the £50k and up brigade are the top 10% - whether they like to admit it or not.

I'm 38, earning 80K + bonus in IT related field. I'm a single mother, with mortgage and usual bills, I don't pay for childcare as ex dp looks after that, but most other child related expenses I cover. It affords us a reasonable standard of living IMO

31 and earn about £42,000. Hubby earns about £40,000 - he's in his 40s. It's not enough - we'd like to earn 100k between us and feel we'd be really comfortable then. We've came close - I was on about 50k and he on 45k, but worked awful hours in horrible environments so in different roles now.

Much less than the average salary in UK. Much, much less than majority of my peers. Not enough to save, not enough to have a rainyday fund.
