you work hard to make your money so you might
aswell enjoy it

like rapid cossie said, you only live once

 

i earn 13k a year as a litter picker

 

I get about 21,500 basic for a 36 hour week, 08:00 - 15:40 3days & 16:10 2 days a week plus over time. Most i've earned was 32,300 about 2 years back. The price of every thing goes up every year but i'm earning less and less thanks to the poxy EU ruleing saying that i HAVE to take 2 days off in every 14, and my employer scraping our insentive bonus about 12 months ago, i'll be around the 27-28 mark by the end of march, twating EU crap. I have a work van that i take home so no travel expense's which is 1 bonus. My money just covers the bills with a few ££££left over, I should'nt grubble to much though as i've got a nice 3 bed semi in one of the nicest aera's of Cardiff (just out side) 2 Girls and top missus

 

i earn shite moeny and so does my grilfriend but were both happy with our 2 bed flat and a happy little girl of 4 years old, im only 24 i will get a better job when my little girl grows up as i like sepnding time with my girlfriend and daughter!

I did work at the airport doing maintanence on planes earned £18,500 a year but i have really damaged my back doing the job, and left in august 2006 never to really lift heavy items again my physchio said: cry:

So i now work 39hours a week van driving get £1,050 a month roughly £13,500 a year before tax and my girlfriend gets £7,800 a year but we do have a nice flat with nice stuff inside and i still have had niceish cars like rs turbos cossies and now my m3 convertible but i have to work out my money every week to keep my account is check

 

apprentice electrician 3rd year nearly 19 earned 16k so far this year not bad but early mornings and overtime.

 

16k is good for 14 days work

 

At the moment, not a lot. £1000 a month maybe because I'm doing agency work. If I choose to take on a job I may have sourced, around 22k a year, if I join the army when I'm not fat, around 10k

 

tax year started april last year

 

you must be the clever one

 

fuck me i need to get another job for sure

 

 

As a top whack PC, I think its £33000 ish, with £2500 housing allowance, this has recently been topped up with an extra £1000 cos I have been here such a long time. I do a bit of O/T so its around £38000 before tax and in my case pension, 11 % a month!

I have no idea what my average working week should be, I think about 45 hours, works out about 6 days on and three days off.

Still, only 12 years to go!

 

There are some shocking wages on this thread...

 

£36500 basic + bonus @ approx £3k a year for off 12 hour shift pattern and I get a week off every months without touching my holidays!!!

And i've only just turned 23!

 

print finisher

30K basic 37.5 hrs a week, last 2 years have earned 40K

 

hgv fitter 36,000 plus bonuses.51 hrs a week no saturdays either .i know im lucky for my type of work and dont take it for granted.the misses,kids and fooking morgage soon eat it all up

 

Steelworker for Corus, I earned £24,500 last year probably hit £26k this year before tax.

I work a 39 hour week on shifts.

 

What do you do?

 

Enough to buy a 3 bedroom house 25 miles from London I'm a Civil Engineer

All at the tender age of 24

 

can i have your cooler when the shit hits the fan?


dont believe in plastic "friends"

more like enemy's,watched a few of my mates when i was about 18-22 spend about 10-15k on gettin fuckin wrecked,some have only just finished paying it back at 30yo

if you can keep a limit on it i suppose its o.k,but emergency only if it were me.

thats what i ment lol wish it was 14 days

 

Build Bentley GT's... I do 2 weeks of nights... 2 weeks of days about... a 4 day week... & 39 Hours... Just under 22K a year gross with the shift allowance... rison:
I need another job, or 2 to get on the property ladder.... 25 this year...

 

Not everyone

Had a few loans over the years and the mortgage but i have never had a credit card.

Steve.

 

just about 21k a year, 4 on 4 off shifts working alternate day/night shifts and whatever bank holiday the shift falls on, with the possibility (not often but it can happen) of every day being 12 hours long, average 9.5 hours a day though...

and its the highest paid unskilled job on the island too so for me there's nowhere else to go, I can't even go to college to qualify in anything cos of the shift pattern...

 

lol.. why do you all brag about what you all earn.??? i couldnt care less.!!! i go to work to feed my family and pay the bills etc..???

 

My Pension ain't cheap either, £281.88 a month

Steve.

 

Im sitting at work pretty raging at the shit wage i get compared to most i need a new job

 

Nor do you have a mobile phone, and rumour has it, you go hunting at night to feed the family.
You crazy well paid cave man.

 

How the fuck can you have all those things on a combined monthly income of about £1800?

That just pays my mortgage and a 'few' bills

 

£26k basic for 37hr weeks.

With shifts and OT that rises to £34k.

Pension is at 8%.

Better than a poke in the eye......

 

£26,000 a year for 34hrs pw + bonus + £1000 bonus @ xmas

and i got a free car, tax, insurance & petrol for work & personnal
and a free phone for business & personnal which prob saves me
at least £400 a month

But after paying mortgage, pensions, insurances etc dont get left that much

When i was out on the road as a subby for the company i use to clear
£50,000 + but was away at least 4 nights a week, and prob averaging
13 hour a day

 

I get £36k basic with Bonus and Commision last year came in at £48600...

but as my job is sales i can either get £692 pw basic or up to £1500 thats the only problem with a sales job.

oh and im a recruitment consultant and work Mon to Frid 8.30-5.30

 

Coz i have had my flat since i was 17 got it for £40,000 and now its worth £137,000 mortgage cost me £240 per month i have one loan and Telephone bill, car insurance, sky + council tax as bills and that is it dont have contract phone or any finance on tvs',sofa all that crap my girlfriend has a loan and that is it so we are ok not confortable by any means but i know if i earn more now ill only want more i just save for what i want and always get what i want lol ie i saved £2000 for my sofa and another £1000 for the telly not alot tomost of you but to me i fell proud i save and not get into debt anymore like i was 3 years ago!

 

take home of around £26k last year
£28k the year before
even less overtime means that i'll be looking at around £24k this year
but my mrs brings home just over £12k from her job and my brother brings home about £28k a year as well
with the old dear topping up the total with another £10k or so and my old man having a few quid stashed away under the sofa's and stuff (you REALLY don't want to know what he does, nor does the tax man so )

so a take home of £74k a year for the whole family is great

but i get lumbered with all the bills for the house so it's shit for me

 

essex_jamie good man

 

everyone talking before tax when they have posted wages?

 

Thanks mate im now selling the m3 to fund my girlfriend a car but hey-ho cars come and go ill have my bike soon one day i hope ill be a bit better off but one day ill also be dead so shit happens

 

I pay myself as much as i can afford to, it depends on how well the company has done and so far so good for the past 4 years and its looking even better for the future.

I have quite a few perks though, i dont pay for my car, all my fuel is paid for, all insurances are paid for, tax is always paid, my mobile phone bill is paid every month and i pay myself a commission of £830 per month tax free for a contract that i have and will still have for many many more years to come which certainly helps and i get a nice dividend at the end of the financial year, i work from 0930 - 1700 5 days per week and i work 1 mile from where i live, my missus earns 26k per year but i wont mention my basic salary as its never enough the more i earn the more i spend, above all i deserve it cos i work my ass off

 

I can't afford a mobile phone

Steve.

 

Its not bragging about what you earn, I find it interesting to see what people earn for different jobs in differernt parts of the country

I think my wage is shit but I have money to myself after paying the mortgage and bills so I suppose its not as bad as some
