WhatsHisName Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 This poor banker is only getting £1 million a year, how can this poor man survive on such low wages? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23546437ing The poor man, his banker friends probably laugh at him for only earning a million a year
Rincewind Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 To be fair he has to pay his servants£5 per hour out of it.
Jace Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 I say good on him for saying he doesn't want to recieve any bonus related pay
Guest MattP Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 Good on him. On a side note I know a guy who would struggle to live on a million a year with his lifestyle. Being serious.
ousefox Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 Good on him. On a side note I know a guy who would struggle to live on a million a year with his lifestyle. Being serious. Is that meant to be a shock? There are thousands of people like that...
StanSP Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 I say good on him for saying he doesn't want to recieve any bonus related pay That's what I thought as well.

Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 My girlfriends sisters husband, who we live with is on about this a year and to be honest you wouldn't necessarily know it. When it costs nearly £3 million to buy a decent house in London (the one we're living in) and half of that wage being paid in taxes, there's isn't shit loads to blow on prostitutes, coke and yachts. He only drives a Range Rover Sport which he paid for in cash a few years back. I bet he's not got much more than a few million saved away. I get to live there for £100 a month, herro'
Rincewind Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 I'm not shocked for the record. A painting 500 grand a couple of cars 200 grand 100 quid meals every day and south of france every month. I could last 5-10 years on it at least but then again he wouldn't be shopping at Aldi. I could easily manage on it and and I would not be extragant with it. I might get a season ticket though but the rest would be sensible spending I

Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 That made me laugh the most. Only! I hate going out for a meal and knowing that he's on about 20-30 times more per year than I am. Cheers pal, pay half shall I?
Guest MattP Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 That made me laugh the most. Only! My mate who earns about a million doesn't have a mortgage or a car and is around half a million in debt. I'm not shocked for the record. A painting 500 grand a couple of cars 200 grand 100 quid meals every day and south of france every month. You can tell you haven't shared much company with people who earn these amounts.
Rincewind Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 and he's not got more than a few million saved. I'd be settled for life. Apart from a holiday a year my lifestyle would not change much. I don't drive. Do not need a big place to live. I like meals that look like meals not £100 for a morsel of meat with a pea on top and half a roast spud and I drinking with normal people in normal bars paying normal prices for beer not £200 pond a bottle fany named wine. So I'd still be down the local if anyone wants to buy me a pint. I don't mind drinking with riff raff.

Like Flair says, you earn a million a year in London and the vast vast majority of that has gone on your mortgage, transport and bills etc. Not a "painting" You can tell times are hard as he always gets the champagne round in for the boys at Lords, last week it was Dom Perignon 2000 instead of 96 so to say he's got it easy is ridiculous. To quote the man himself - "It's easy being poor, you just don't know it"

You can tell you haven't shared much company with people who earn these amounts. and you have a go at those on £100 per week. If he's half a million in debt then obviously he has overspent on something or on things he did not really need. Not an Argos or Tesco shopper I assume.

I don't have a go at anyone who earns their money. Tesco's actually. Well of course he spends money on things he doesn't need, who doesn't in life? Do you go through life only spending money on necessities?
Rincewind Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 Well he could go to the local Wetherspoon get a round of Jon Smith's in and watch the cricket on the TV. That would save him a few grand. Or he could get a few cans of Stella in and watch it at home. You are trying to wind me up again. Think I'll nip out for a hour or two before I take the bait.

ADK Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 I know a few millionaires, it dosn't necessarily make someones quality of life higher. One of the worst traps is being normalised to a standard of living such that you don't really appreciate things.
Ric Flair Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 Which weatherspoons shows live Sky cricket? Would you be against millionaires signing on for JSA if they were out of work? Hahahahahaa that made me piss! I had to endure the golf the other week in a wetherspoons with no sound. That's the only gig you'll ever get in there. Terrestial tv with no sign, but subtitles if you're lucky. Ricewind must have a seriously plush one he goes to and he has the cheek to lamblast the bankers!

Rincewind Posted 2 August 2013 Posted 2 August 2013 Not sure if they could. If they had a few million stashed away they couldn't claim benefits. Limits £6000. So anyone claiming has less than that. Double for couples. With electricity rising and other bills it would not last long. I don't have that in the bank. If I did I may still struggle but I'd struggle for a longer period before going bankrupt. So for a couple with children to have 12 grand and a penny in the bank they would not be able to claim because they'd have too much. My older brother has a few grand in the bank but when he sold his hotel never went on JSA. He does a little finacial advice in his spare time. £60 hour. And it's to people that own businesses and says it's amazing how shit they are managing their money. He startyed off playing poker online so if he was on JSA questions would be asked about his income. Anyway his missus does work marking exam sheets and they have a biggish house and a good social life whlle still being frudant with money.

A lot of people do not even have the luxuary of Wetherspoons.

I thought the idea was that avatars reflect the poster in some way? Is the Derby shirt not a giveaway? First place I thought of that was cheap. It was the Lords and Champaigne. A lot of people do not even have the luxuary of Wetherspoons. Ghastly.
