Stopped the car lark
The income is boosted by the shares each 3 years approx £330k before CGT and no NI next payment is in June 09 around £67k and then the same every 6 months until its paid out and then a year of drought and then the payments commence again
We call it "golden Handcuffs" at work
I also get to go on some incredible trips with work "teambuilds"
Ice Hotel Sweeden 5 days
South of France Sailing 4 Days
Verbier Skiing for 5 days every march
5 Days in Cape Town every year with the managers of restaurants
On top of that at least 15-20 opportunities to go away with my Area Managers each year on there team trips
Its a hard life I LOVE IT
The rest is basic and bonus etc
Cars just an A6 avant looking at getting a 996 in March with bonus probably a 2001-2003 plate Carrera4S
The rest goes on Holidays , Properties now have 3 flats around teh country and kids education
Nige

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..
.
Westy you dont come accross as being on a lot more than Gracey....especially as you were so tight over the RST
I spent enough on the escort with engine, paintjob, geraboxes etc.. But why would someone want to waste all there hard earnt cash on a shitty escort..?
Comany shares, a decent pension, studying for my degree... house etc are far more important thanks.. I do alright ..

Seems most sparks here are taking home around the same if not more than I gross a week! I would love £350-£500 a week after tax! Its all relative to expenditure though dont forget.
Lets say you earn £350 a week and pay £1200k a month for a mortgage on your 220K 3bedroom semi. Without a partner you will draw even and have a few quid spare for food as you earn £1516 a month and have £316 left after paying your mortgage.
If your southern counterpart earns £700 a week but pays £2800 a month on his 450K morrtgage for the exact same sort of house... he will actually have a worse standard of living than you do as he has less spare cash yet teh same ammenieties due to him earning £3033 a month but paying outa higher percentage of it than you do. He will have only £233 left.
Its all relative, and you need to remember that.

thats SOOO true, i dont get paied great tbh,, dont get paied that bad either if im honest for a person who never went to school and is generally a lazy looser who spends hes life partying ect most weekends
but my expenditure is less than most people meaning i dont need a great wage to enjoy life,,,,, i worked out the other day that if i wasnt lucky with my house purchase back in the day and helped by someone then i would need to earn DOUBLE what i do now to have the freedom i do
the DOWNSIDE though is i would be more motivated in life and not so fucking lazy
but my missus has been working hard for a few years in college and is gonna be in uni in february meaning that in 2 years time we will be very very comfortable and i should have grown up by then too

as an approved spark in edinburgh on the sjib rates its £370 after tax a week
im so tempted to go down heathrow t5,or the rigs
BUT.....................when you work away down south you just go out on the piss every night and spend all the dough
and if i go to the rigs id spend all night on the pc ordering new parts for my car
cant win,only thing to do is take a chance and start up myself
