20k a year

Would 20k a year be a decent salary for a 20 year old?

I think so, depends on what you're doing. Graduates that age average salary 18-21k

Depends on your outgoings. If you're a 20 year old who lives at home and has no responsibilities then yes whereas if youre 20 and have rent / mortgage and kids to pay for then it will obviously be stretched much further

Id say at this age, finding a job that opens the door you want in the future is more important then salary.

It’s enough to keep you going at that age.
