My salary in the last few years have jumped from 48k to 54k to 75k (and now have £6-£7k of extra income too, in interest etc)
But I had to move jobs 3 times in 2 years to get those raises.
And honestly, it still doesn't feel like enough.
Tell me 5-10 years ago I'd earn £75k and I'd think that was going to be amazing, now a £75k salary kinda just feels like an average salary. And I have no kids! I don't know how people on average salaries with children are coping at all.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoCome on, 75k (nevermind 6k on top) with no children... That is extremely good, probaly the top 5% in the country. Median income is about 35k, which means half the people earn less and you earn more than double that with less expenses.
- foldr 3y agoIt's good relatively because a lot of people in the UK are very poor. In London (which is probably where you are if you're getting paid that much) £75k does not get you particularly far.
