Default Your UK salary.....

What is it?

Not sure if this has been done before, but I'm doing it anyway.

There's been a few about salaries downunder, but what you earn downunder is relative to what you earnt in the UK.

Many people talk of supporting a family on one income in the UK. There's no way I could do that on my UK salary (22K), and equally I couldn't do it on my expected NZ salary ($45K ish). But on neither am I broke - apart from international travel - they buy me about the same wherever I am .

But some people must earn a helluva lot in the UK to support families and/or live in much cheaper areas than I do.

So tell us, what was/is your personal UK salary?? (No combined incomes please)

I have also put down hubby's salary. as I am also a wife of the house! I have very short feet so I can get closer to the sink and very long hair so I can be dragged into the cave by husband after he has had a long day out hunting for food.
