MooseBreath Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I've been obsessing over my salary a bit lately. Median salary figures for places like Leicester are about £18k in the city and up to about £23k in the countryside, but everywhere I go people appear to have more money than that. So how much do you earn? No need to announce it in the thread (unless you want to), just answer the anonymous poll.
Strokes Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I can't say the exact figure incase the taxman is looking but its inbetween 24 and 30k, 20k from employment.
MPH Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 This year its been about $30,000. But money goes much further over here as petrol prices are about a third.. house prices are less than that.
I am Rod Hull Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Shift leader in the automotive industry - just under 25k basic but haven`t hit under 30k since 2006/7. I`d like to add that money aint everything, I was a happier and healthier person before I was promoted and if I could go back to the days of less money and less stress I would...
Larry_LCFC Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Im on 22k. Will work up to about 40k+ hopefully

FoxesAreBlue Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The more I earn the less I have, other people seem very good about telling me what I should do with my salary too.
StanSP Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Not going to disclose it. However, I am overpaid and underworked, whilst still enjoying what I do to an extent. Rather that than underpaid and overworked.

StanSP Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 You mean that someone has actually employed you Stan? In 2 jobs!
mugshot Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Not going to reveal but I do alright. One thing I will say is that the median wage in Leicester is due to the large number of call centre and warehouse type roles in Leicester. I worked in both when I was young before embarking on the career I have now. I will mention though that to get the salary I am on I have to travel outside of Leicester to get it so travel from Leicester 50 miles to get to work.
Ross-Kemp Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 In the last year I've gone from just under 14k to just shy of 19k, I'm now at the top of my job, next step is a promotion. Considering I've had 4 pay rises in a year, I'm hoping it'll be within the next 18 months, that'd see me to up to £22k.
SystonFox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 My basic wage is the top end of one category but I work lots of overtime, extra shifts and on call taking me well into the next bracket. It seems most of my friends earn more than me without ever knowing exactly what they earn.
separator Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 £36k basic but I work in London, live in Leicester. I'm lucky enough to get cheap train tickets to London, and free travel in London thanks to my job, which makes this possible
pSinatra Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I honestly don't know what I earn. If I was more organised & kept a closer eye on my incomings & outgoings, I might have more of an idea. When I was employed by someone to do a similar job, I was earning £20k.......which was pretty good compared to people working elsewhere doing the same thing (a council gardener). The only way I would have seen my money increase was through promotion & becoming a manager (around £26k). I had the offer of a manager's job, but it would have taken me indoors & away from what I enjoyed. I'm now self-employed & all I know is I have more money than I did before. As long as the bills are paid & there's money in my pocket that will do me. I don't live in a big house, I don't drive a flash car & I don't go on expensive holidays. I could charge more than I do & not do so many favours for my customers...........but I'm happy with how things are.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Still an apprentice til about Easter time. Then I should earn just below 30k. Should've fonished in july last year (2013) but the coolege is ****in dogshite and theyre messing up peoples lives.
casablancas Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 24k as a staff nurse. Have to work for that though, one of those jobs where you've gotta love what you do. Luckily enough I do
Rincewind Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Re psinatra/ Don't you have to keep a record if self employed for tax purposes or should I not ask? Early retirement so my income is not in the high bracket but I don't want for anything really. Non-smoker and driver so only basic bills to manage.

StanSP Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Jermaine Beckford? Well, I don't run around at work...
