To ask what you earn?

[working925]

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

Buner I'm sure that some folk are telling the truth, but really think that others are telling porkies!! Of course, I could be wrong; but we are all hiding behind a cloak of anonymity on the internet

I don't earn as a SAHM. DH doesn't have a salary as such, but he did make about £10 million after tax this year, though he reinvests most of it.

30, lawyer, £100k plus bonus

Love how it's the people earning 50k+ that are straight in there sharing their salary. Also OP asked what YOUR age and earnings are. Not that of your £1m earning partner!

I care for my elderly and disabled father 24/7/52 and save the LA a shed load of dosh. In return they give me £62 per week.

90% of posts on this thread are in the top 10% BTW

I'm in my 30s and earn about 100k when everything's added up. For many years I was closer to 15k.

33 and earn 35k feel very lucky.

Mid 30s on £25+k in private telecommunications company. Very low level staff. No desire to be a manager.

DH mid 40s on £34+k and private use of a company car. Managerial position in private company.

We’re north of the border.

I’m 30 and I earn £25k a year

Ooh I'm 48

Certainly a massive disparity. I have worked for over thirty years with a break as a mum at home and have never earned more than 24k despite degrees etc.

Me age 40, 10k
Dh age 46, 22k
Mortgage nearly paid off, house worth 250k
I have a brand new car, Dh 3 year old bigger car
2 foreign holidays a year
15k in the bank

No debts, cars owned outright

Age 39 and £54k.

Before I had children I earned £29k, now I'm 37, a SAHM but do part-time work during evenings and get about £5k.
DH (38) middle management in large retail company - £49k
He recently had a pay rise, but for years when the kids were tiny he was on about £30k and things felt tight.
Now we are able to make overpayments to our mortgage.

33, £76k

I'm 48. I earn £28 k. DH is retired and earns approx £62 k from shares and other investments.

I reckon we are rolling in it.We don't go out much, and don't go away on fancy holidays.We have a 14 year old car. Ds has SEN and is in a special school that we pay approx £14 k for year.

Me (female) 42 and circa £70k, dp (male) 44 circa £35k plus car. We're in the midlands

Really interesting replies. Now there's loads of other questions I wish I'd asked. Degree? Location? Working hours? Kids?
Yes I do wonder if high earners are more likely to answer - that's also really interesting.

It's also interesting that those people with lower earnings sometimes feel the need to comment on partner high earnings.

I'm 26, earn 30k per year. As does my husband who is 32. So we draw 50% profit from our business each.

No particularly high earnings have been mentioned have they? Surrey here though.
