I assume so, it'll tell you on the top right if you're high middle or low?

I am comfortable @ 77% if a little warm
I'm aiming for 97% I reckon, but the wife earns fuck all, so she's no help at all
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:06, Reply)

:( 61%
I wish they'd hurry up and make me redundant.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:07, Reply)

yeah but it's pretty stupid as living costs vary across the country

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:10, Reply)

Yeah you're really having a hard time of it compared to me, I'm sorry.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:13, Reply)

I'm just saying that the only fair way to look at it would be to include local housing and transport costs etc
before making the comparison

You're all about the fairness, aren't you?

Unless it impacts negatively on him
in which case it can fuck off.

hes all about trying to justify the chip on his shoulder.
We should include private school costs as well

I can't believe he's sending his daughter to a private school
Does he want her to grow up a total cunt?

Hi Al!
I was privately educated and I'm perfectly lovely

No, sorry ape, I'm afraid you've rather just rpoved my point.

(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:27, Reply)

Leave my kids fucking out of it! What have they done? You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!

Stop flailing around there Ape, you'll bruges yourself.

(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:34, Reply)

i hate all this bollocks about "fairness"
life ain't fair, get over it. If you live in Britain you are a fuck of a lot better off than most of the world, so stop moaning.

You were the one who brought it up.

I only meant in relation to how that calculator worked
it is a blunt instrument, that's all.

*cough* 90% *cough*
I'm not sure I filled it out right.

You probably did
but you've just not appreciated that although the average wage is something shit like 22K, or possibly worse, that "average" is massively skewed upwards by a few people earning millions.

The median wage would be much lower, which is pretty depressing.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:19, Reply)

I think the average is around £27-28K
But, as you say, this is a bollocks figure skewed upwards (by Stunned).
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:22, Reply)

£26500 at last count.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:25, Reply)

that was less than my graduate starting salary
how shit are these people that they are worse thana grad with no experience?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:26, Reply)

You're just the best

(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:30, Reply)

nah, loads of people earn more than me
I'm just saying some people are shit, let them be shit, don't pay them extra for being shit
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:32, Reply)

It's not about paying people extra for being shit.
It's about people having enough money to live on.
Y'know for food and a roof over their heads, that sort of thing.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:39, Reply)

So you would suggest there should be massive investment in education?
Perhaps try to increase the numbers attending university?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:34, Reply)

nah, some people are shit to the core
no point throwing good money after bad is there
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jan 2013, 15:38, Reply)

I was about to link you back to the "Let them die" post up there, but I see you have already acknowledged this.

The only easy mistake to make is you need to put it as after tax.
