Hi guys and gals,

How would a single person cope with a $1000 a week wage?
Would it be comfortable or scraping for change, living wise?
Queensland area, maybe NSW?

Thanks.

This is useful, no idea how accurate it is though!

If you're talking $1000AUD a week, then yep, I think most people would survive comfortably on that. Depends on the sort of lifestyle you lead and how many servants you have though!!

It is about 4% above the average wage,
The great majority get less than that. Median is around $800.

AWOTE for the December quarter, 2003 was $937.70.

AWOTE is the Australian Bureau of Statistics calculation of Average Weekly
Ordinary Time Earnings for all Australians. It varies a little from state to
state. So on $1,000 a week; you're a little over the average. Should be
fine!!

Test

Depends on a lot of factors?

What type of Job?
How many hours will you be working?
80+ hours a week will mean a $500 for 40 hours which means its below
avg.

Need more information.

What job and what city are you on about.
