I’ve seen this referenced a few times recently.

What do you class it as - I’m assuming 6 figures plus given how many appear to be earning it? Or do you also need a c-suite DH? I’m intrigued!

I think you might want to check your figures there...

I have over £1k net worth but I'm not a millionaire. (I am a proud thousandaire.)

Someone who earns £2.5m a year will almost certainly be a millionaire, at least by the end of the year. Maybe not if they spend all their money on drugs or gambling.

Ha, yeah should've said "over £1M"!

And yes I agree most folk earning that much will be millionaires before long. But my point remains, they'll be millionaires 'cos of their wealth not directly cos of their income.

Same thing with "rich". It means "high wealth", not "high income"

I find it funny, that a lot of white collar workers have no idea that they earn less than self employed people doing very mundane jobs.

I am self employed and probably earn more than most of my customers for doing a very simple, no qualifications needed job. One of them even made reference to me earning "pocket money". Ha! They have no idea that I actually rake it in. I used to be a white collar worker myself and was similarly deluded at the time.

Anyway......I think the important bit is ....."what are your outgoings?"

Our total bills before food come to £940 a month, soon to be just £700 per month. That leaves a lot of wiggle room.

Oooh go on, give us a clue about what your job is please 😁
