I'm not sure why your salary would offend me, given that it's no more than the starter salaries for my line of work. :wtf:
My point was that you're not suddenly going to get a house/flat to yourself, run a car and go on multiple holidays with a mere £566 a month extra in your pocket than when you are earning £20,000 (especially when more holidays -> fewer worked hours).

That guy gets his kicks by pretending to be rich/smart. He's literally masturbating to your replies, i'd imagine.

I'd imagine you weren't explaining that to me though, given I never said that anyone earning £20,000 should.

I was just stating that £400 per month as an adult is quite uncomfortable, and I certainly couldn't live off it. You seem to be able to and well done for that! I can't understand why you were trying to imply that I overspend, or I cannot afford my lifestyle.

Some of you lot on this website need to relax. Its never that deep :biggrin:

How much would you need to earn to live a comfortable life (which doesn't just include necessities but also luxuries) in London?


Well, 'luxuries' is very hard to define monetarily, you know. Luxury can be a nice week of in Mallorca, or a weekend shopping-clubbing spree in New York which can cost five times that.

I'd say to afford basic luxuries (eat out twice on weekends, buy designer clothes, live in a decent area of zone 2, maybe afford a motorbike/scooter just for fun) you'd have to earn GBP55k.

LOL I'm a university student.


F-ing get out of this thread then, it's meant for people to post their salary expectations once they graduate and work full-time - and me correcting their expectations, of course.

I cycle into town and walk to work, so I don't need a car.


Only because you don't need one doesn't mean that you could afford one.

Why does it matter how big and modern my "pad" is?


Quality of life?

You're not going to get what you seem to describe until you're earning well over £35k.


Never said anyone would. Life starts at 35k, what I describe requires more.

Original post by CJKay
I assure you that you are vastly underestimating the cost of the things you describe (at least if you want to live comfortably as well).


Funny, because I have/do all these things :biggrin:
Quarrying. Management level or above 50 - 100k
Moving from Australia, is 23K-25K starting grad salary okay to be comfortable outside of London (North-West England region)? Probably living quite frugally in share accommodation, but I'd like to travel a lot whilst in UK.
I want to earn at least 1 million a year.

My husbands money isnt my money. I may not ever marry :tongue:

A minimum of £800 after bills etc should do it.


What salary would you need for that amount of leisure cash?
What kind of properties can you get for the annual wage of 30k?. Outside and within london
I'd wanna start off at reasonable: 25 grand. More than enough for one person in my opinion. But I'd expect a quick rise to above 35 grand in several years.

Looking at project management anywhere from £20,000 at the start and £45,000 after completing prince practitioners and atleast 5+ years of experience with a major corporation.

Surviving ≠ not being miserable.

So how big and modern is your pad then? What car do you have? Maybe even a motorcycle/scooter on the side? Nice vacations? Life starts at 35k, and that's outside London.


In my hometown (Sheffield), you can live a pretty nice life on £20k even, if you're cohabiting with a partner who earns a similar amount.
