"We're on good money"

[FunionsRFun]

When a poster says they are on good money or a good salary, what figure comes into your head? For me it's £70k for an individual, and £100k for a household.
For what it's worth I am not on good money!

I think you get used to what you have and adjust expectations accordingly so it can be hard to feel like you are well off. I think I am definitely now on good money (£70k so 3900/month) but with mortgage (which I am admittedly overpaying), other bills, childcare, kids activities etc plus recent expenses (car fixes, boiler breakdown etc) I don't feel like I have very much disposable income

I'd say good money is about £50k.

I'm on £30k and feel like I'm on Ok money.

Surprised by people saying 40k. 40k is about the median salary for a full time job. Does average count as good?

I'd say that 'good money' is at least 70k

Dependings on location & family type. To me "good money" is having plenty for housing costs and bills, an annual family holiday in school holidays, not having to worry or count the pennies to afford a takeaway on the weekend, clothes & gifts, the costs of christmas.

With kids:

1. London & the naice bits of the south east (plus a handful of posh bits of north & Scotland) : single income 100k, family 150k.
2. Other parts of the south/nicer Midlands : single income 70k, family 100k
3. Less naice Midlands/Northern cities:single income 50k family 80k.
4. Cheapest small towns (mainly north, wales, scotland, NI) - single income 40k, family 65k. Basically because housing costs are so low.

DH and I had some years where we were on good money, almost 90k between us, I worked PT at the time and we had zero mortgage as paid off and DS was at secondary school so no childcare. Plus up North.

Combined, our salary comes out as around 130k, not including bonuses. However, we both have other mediums of work (DH is a violinist, I'm an author and I make/sell something which is extremely niche) which boosts that. So all together closer to 200k. I'm 35 and he's 40, so that's likely to increase over the next 2 - 5 years. It slowed for various reasons for a while (injury, kids).

But we live in the NW, are mortgage free after renovating an old property, and debt free. So it goes a long way. We're not big spenders and are good at saving.

I guess it's all relative really. My husband makes out that we're destitute, but we manage to pay all our bills/mortgage/childcare costs fine, and I can still treat myself and the children and he continues with his (expensive) hobby. Do we have a lot in savings? No. But we can cope with emergencies that come our way. To some, we'd be rich and extremely fortunate, but to others we'd have practically nothing. I count us lucky that we're not in a dire financial situation at the moment and hope to continue that way.

Has to be over 90k at least for me to think good money. But then im
in the SE

You're penalized for being a single parent who earns well - extra taxes, little or no help with childcare and having to pay back child benefit. It's really unfair as a system
