Would you be happy on 40k per year as your final salary?

And what norms are they?

I suspect you are getting your "should" and "could" mixed up.

People could aspire to earn more but they shouldn't have to aspire for more, no matter what their circumstances are, just because someone thinks this is a society "norm".

I want to be a millionaire and will be.

Ah, the naivety of some. With an attitude like that you'll be lucky to earn 30k.

I earnt more than £30k at 18 years of age. Im in the process of setting up my own business and have the capital to do so. I also have no mortgage.

What did you do at 18 years old to earn 30k?

Ran a business. Running a business is the best way to make any serious money. That is why im going to do it again in an area i actually care about, this time.

Hardly anything socialist about what I said... but maybe those "norms" you speak of are just your own aspirations, rather than any norm.

What did you run a business on the first time and what do you plan on running a business on the second time?

As I'm someone who owns their own house and business, you are clearly mistaken in your assumptions.

Hahaha, funny man we have here! Nah, I'm far from a peasant - I run two side businesses already.

What businesses do you do if you don't mind me asking.

I wouldn't if it was 5 years ago in a 200k+ household. But now on barely 30k, I don't mind.

As a final salary though? Really?

I'm the same re: near £200k ---> £30k but I'd much prefer the former.
