you have high standards for food. i'm happy eating a £5 meal at subway or mcdonalds. very tasty and about a tenth of the price of your expensive 3 course restaurant meals with champagne. i dont even like that over-priced alcohol in restaurants.
lol say no more.

You're missing the point again, I could care less what she thinks. Why would I bother eating average meals when I can spend more and have better ones? This is standard.
Because if you got a job with shorter hours you could cook meals yourself that are about as good for £5 and have a whole bottle of wine of the same quality for £10.
You're sacrificing a lot of your life to chase rapidly diminishing returns on consumption. Just about the only reason I can think to have these jobs is to try to become financially independent in as short a time as possible, which means minimising consumption as much as possible.
The fudge are people talking about £80 dinners for their gfs/escorts with impending student loans?
Jesus, I eat like a king in the canteen.
Other disposable income goes towards my coke habit.

Why would you live like you describe to save a couple hundred pounds more when in year 2 you make £150k instead of £70k and in year 3 you make £200k and in year 4 £250k... . The savings you make in year 1 by living like that pale in comparison to future earnings/savings... not 20 years down the line but 1-2 years down the line.
What bank pays their 2nd year analysts £150k please tell me when the GS NY IBD desk earns $120k max all-in.
I don't think you work in the industry mate.

Maybe the top brass, but us grunt analysts get taxed to the ****ing hilt. I literally tear up everytime I see my PAYE slip.
Too much considering it's coming from the coffers of those who can barely afford their heating bills.

You clearly don't understand what would happen if the banking sector was ''let'' under water.

We survived/prospered in the past without an inflated banking sector - it is not a prerequisite of a successful society.

Inflated, yes. But there wouldn't be one if no actions had been taken back in 08.
This is all crazy talk, I'm on 28k and live in a house share right next to Canary Wharf (£750pm) and am still saving a few hundy a month. You guys on 60k with no time to spend any of it should be rolling in savings

It's possible but as homie Biggie said "Mo Money, Mo Problems".

This is IB&C, pretty sure nobody here cares about what we accountants actually do
