They could afford a new rs turbo every month with whats left over, or should be able too at least. Obviously everyones circumstances are different though to be fair. Seriously though, most people i know who get big money live on their limit too and still owe loads of money out. Apart from a mortgage i plan to never have to get loans or credit personally even though i dont get big money, i save for the things i want/need, rather than go for the easy option at the time and end up owing shit loads of money out. Well thats the plan anyway.

like fuzzy says 1k a week can be done if i'm on pricework or doing private jobs but i work to live not the other way round.
the real money is in buying and selling houses,got in at the right time and out i believe,made 110k in four years-put most of it back into the house i'm in and spent a bit on the cos
those four years should give me a bit of an easyer life,bearing in mind i'm in scotland whare my 3bed house with extension and big garden cost 140k
you would get a bedsit whare most of you lot in england stay for that!

JIB sparky rate is £10.91 per hour at the minute. Approved Sparkie is around £2 an hour more. Dunno how some sparkies on here can say they earn a grand a week employed. Would like to know how though 
I'm guessing these rates are not used by most companies down south where everything is so much dearer than up north.

Makes me so glad I fucked my apprenticeship off when I had the chance bit of a poor attitude really..I remember when I started out working (after paper rounds etc) I joined a company as a trainee... took home 350 quid my first month.. At 16, I was loving it.. and lets just say it's all paid off well now
Everyone has to start somewhere..

im on great money but i have "only" a 6-7k saff. i've just bought a bigger house and my monthly bills will be approx £1900
Now thats a lot of money and if i had an expensive car to pay for too then the monthly bills would be horrendous!way i see it is i'd rather pump my money into a stupidly expensive mortgage so i live in a lovely house than have a lesser house and a flashy car

I got no reason to lie about my wages, 22k a year without overtime so whatever that works out to a week
I've finally got my arse in gear and started my plumbing course so I can get out of where I work now, it bores the shit out of me

For the last 6 weeks or so I've earnt nothing! good job I'm on a mortgage break, but theat ends next month, best start trying to find a job
trouble is they're all the same, shit. If you're paid to do something you enjoy consider yourself very lucky IMO, I've had jobs that have paid good money for what I'd class as not that hard work, but I'll be fooked if I can stick at it, absolute shite.
Next job I want to be a keeper, but its proving hard as I've no idea what I'll enjoy, needless to say factories and shifts are off the list, been there got the T shirt, no more for me.
also with the current cost of living gone are the days when a bloke could take a nice steady job that didnt pay much and live off the wage, minimum wage wont pay my bills so its a bit catch 22, shit job and good money or shit money and no house

well i'm a poor student lol
i only earn about 50-100 quid a week depending on how many hours i do, but i am on a pretty good hourly rate and i'm training to be a manager so hopeully higher pay soon but unfortunately more hours because i may have to move stores where an evening management position is available.
i need to keep busy, serving at a till, customer service etc etc is just not enough for me. i was doing the stores paperwork when i was 16
but when i'm 19 i will not be earning a grand a week thats mad!!
should be when i'm in my late 20s though, i hope

Personally i don't get a great deal of money, but i get enough to enjoy life and do what i want. Even if i have to save for a bit longer to get what i want.
To be honest though a job/career change is on the cards

Anybody know where this is?
