34 on 42k a year and feel poor

[User6404]

I'm supposed to be in a 'good' job, work all hours and lots of pressure. Im told this is a good salary but I never seem to have any money after paying mortgage and bills!

Is anyone else in this position and wonder why it is worth working so hard for little return? Am I deluded? I dont talk about money with friends.

ZOMBIE TGREAD

Im looking into it😆 sickness benefits. Im tired of working hard for nothing. You dont “OWN”anything anyway. Cheers

If you're taking home about £2600 a month, minus mortgage, bills, food, debt etc, you should easily have around £1200 disposable income a month. That's a very healthy amount to have left over!

To be honest, the more you have the more you feel you need. You both have healthy incomes. Last year I pulled in over £300K but it all seemed to go on tax and pension.
