s13 mate £50,000 year my point on the head it is easy for the rich to do better than the poor money opens doors being poor shuts them ,you are doing a job for £6.50 hour unless you pissed away the £50,000 you must have back up ,try living on £65.00 a week with no help from savings or mummy and daddy live in the real world mate .but that was a good rant pal as all ways

If you are earning £50k a year PAYE, you will be taking home £34K a year. To be presentable in a £50K a year job, you are going to need to wear a decent suit everyday - there is £300 for a suit, £100 for a shirt X 5 - there - replace once every six months thats £4k a year. Ten shirts at £100. £500 a year on two pairs of shoes and maintainace. BMW 5 series / AUDI A8 / Merc E Class - £300 - 500 a month depending on spec - £3600 - 5k a year. So we are talking over £10k a year to get to dressed and get to work.

You are not going to be taken serious driving a rotten 15 year old metro in a tesco suit to a £50k a year job.

Stick at least £6k on top of that for work related socialising - drinks, meals, golf, what ever, just so you keep your profile up.

You are soon taking home £20K a year from your £50K job, that is without fuel to get to and from work and paying your normal bills.

i think someones on the wrong forum, should be on the RichBoys Forum for Merc owners!! hell, 50K thats £1,000 per week thats bloody immoral!!
